Smoke from the Weekly Pipe
That is a pretty story regarding Mrs. Idu
Paul, the wife of a iarmer at Ucon, Idaho, who
it is said lost the sight of an eye at Holy CrosB
'hospital on Novemher twenty-sixth when a nurse
washed it with carholic acid Instead of olive
oil.
After ether is administered, olive oil is some
times used in the eyes of the patient and how
it was possible for anyone to mistake carbolic
acid for olive oil is beyond comprehension. Mr.
Paul stated that he did not care to discuss the
matter because a satisfactory settlement had
been made so that the affair might not become
public." It is nice to know that the operation
the lady underwent was a complete success even
if she did lose her eye while unconscious. Of
course, accidents will happen, but this seems to
be the most flagrant case of gross carelessness
that has been heard of in a hospital for some
time, in fact since one of the hospitals let a
patient fall down stairs nearly killing him and
settling for twelve thousand dollars so that the
public might not know, and in one other instance
where a near surgeon sewed a gentleman up
neglecting to remove some of the instruments
he used irom the place in the gentleman where
he was operating. ,
It is a gay life in the hospitals around here,
and apparently none of them are any too strict
in demanding high qualifications from attendants.
There ought to bo a law making it compulsory
for public institutions of this character to report
to the proper authorities anything of the kind
that might happen. Of course, the damage could
not be corrected but such reports might lead to
remedial legislation that would remove some of
the terrors from the hearts of the afflicted who
necessarily have to take a chance in going to
one of those places.
Salt Lake City and the Union Association
owes a larger debt of gratitude to Maury R.
Evans than it can very well pay. Mr. Evans left
here for Boise on Sunday night and on Tuesday
wires were received to the effect that negotia
tions were practically completed whereby the
Boise franchise in the association and the ball
park at Boise will be transferred to Mr. Evans,
the final details to be closed here.
Mr. Evans was accompanied by Dr. Harville,
who Is behind the Murray club. Mr. Evans re
cently agreed to put up $2,000 in cash to assure
Boise to the league. Wo wanted and needed
Boise in the league and it is doubtful if it would
have been possible to get it had not Mr.Evans
been willing to come forward with the money
at the same time giving his time and attention
as he always has done to the furthering of the
interests of the association.

The matter of the discussion of the com
petency or incompetency of Coach Bennlon at
the university which is taking so much space in
Salt Lake's "only independent journal" at the
present time is another laughing matter. It is
easy to prove by the files of Goodwin's Weekly
that it was the first paper to have the courage
to call attention to the real trouble in the Uni
versity football team and it was not until two
or three weeks later that the story "broke" in
the Telegram. The publication of it there fol
lowed a general discussion which ensued arter
the Weekly article was published and now as is
the wont of the "independent journal" it was re
sponsible for the whole thing. Grea "
Thomas & Soule, lawyers, have removed their
offices from the Judge building where they have
been so long located to moro spacious quarters
in the Boston building, Suite 917-918-919.

"We have a little room off the hall with lH
no radiator in it. 1
"In the summer time it made a fine play (1
room for the children, but in the winter it III
was too cold and damp, so the children did jl
their romping all through the house. ll
"One day I noticed a doll sitting in front iM
of a little Gas Stove in the window of the ':M
Gas Company. I ordered the stove. Now M
the play room can be heated In a few min- ll
utes before the children come from )
school." '

This is the first question ask- H

A negative reply turns people H
away. If the house is proper- H

THAT is a big factor in rent- H
