THE DOCTORS OF IDAHO
HOLD INTERESTING MEETING
MANY
VALUABLE PAPtRS READ—MUCH GOOD ACCOM
PLISHED— MEEî IN BIOSE NEXT YEAR -
ACCOUNI OF PROCEEDINGS
The South Idaho Medical Society
net in Caldwell Tuesday. The at
tendance was not as good as was ex
pected, there only being about 16
members present, yet the meeting was
.considered a very successful one. The
local reception committee consisting
of Dr«. Que, Young and Hamilton,
met the visitors arriving on the Pony
in the morning. At 10:30 the pres
ident, Dr. Woodward of Payette,
called the meeting to order. Secre
tary Taylor of Boise read his report
which showed that the society had
$3.50 in its treasury. On motion the
report was accepted. The name of
Dr. Allen of Parma was presented
for membership. The usual commit
tee was appointed to report on the
candidate. The report being favora
ble, the gentleman was elected a
member by the unanimous vote of
the society.
The reading and discussion of pa
pers was the next order of business.
Dr. C. L. Dutton of Meridian read
the first paper entitled "Exophthal
mic Goiter," with a report of the case.
The paper proved very interesting and
a general discussion followed the
reading, nearly all the members tak
ing part in the discussion. It was
observed that the doctors admit that
there is more or less experimenting
.being done by the profession and If
the patient pulls through It Is not
^lways by reason of the physician's
«kill. Dr. Compton read a paper en
titled "Hemorrhagic Diathesis" and a
report of two cases. This paper like
lits predecessor called for an inter
esting discussion and the doctor was
congratulated on his successful treat
ment of his two patients as under the
circumstances as related, it was un
tasual for a patient to survive.
The next number on the program
was a paper by Dr. Brandt of Boise,
his subject was "Duodenal Ulcer."
This paper was by far the most ex
haustive of any read during this ses
sion and was considered of great Im
portance, so much so in fact, that the
discussion was quite lengthy. It
was evident that the doctor had given
the subject much thought in its pre
paration. Dr. Young of Caldwell fol
lowed with a paper on the subject of
"Nephritis of Pregnancy." The sub
ject was one in which all the mem
bers were interested and a lengthy
discussion followed, several of those
present giving their personal exper
ience. Dr. Taylor was particularly
Interested and gave a very Interest
ing talk on this particular branch of
Who Known?
H. W. Edgerton of the Chicago and
North Western Railway was in the
city Monday. The gentleman was
very mysterious In his actions and
positively refused to be interviewed,
but the Tribune detective learned suf
ficient from some questions that he
asked, that the proposed line which
the Boise Statesman has been steer
ing into the capital will mlsB It by
about 10 miles, the survey will doubt
less leave the mouth of Black's creek
and follow a slightly north-westerly
course, touching Caldwell. Mr. Ed
gerton was very reticent and If any
body in the city got any Information,
•that person was JeBss Oowen; they
were seen quite frequently together
and the fact that Oowen has raised
the price on some of his lots, leads
An outsider to believe that he is next
on this new railway deal, If there Is
one.
The Cemetery.
New Interest is being manifested
In regard to getting water for the
cemetery. Mr. W. B. Jones has two
bids from two Caldwell firms for get
ting water to the grounds by means
of gasoline pumps, the firms agree
to put 200 gallons per minuta
at some point In the enclosure for,
a sum not to exceed $1300. The
Forward Club has expressed a
llngness to assist and In tact have'any
taken Bteps to co-operate with the city
council. It is Impossible for the city
to make more than one mill levy for
cemetery purposes and that would
raise only about 1350, not enough to
accomplish the desired result. It
will be necessary for the citizens to
aid by subscriptions the remainder,

abundance of water on the ground*

the citizens not only of Caldwell but
of the surrounding country will re

the profession. Dr. Lyman of Boise
was down for a paper entitled "Rel
ation of So-called Nervous Diseases
to Mental Alienation." The doctor not'
being present, the secretary read the
paper, which was also discussed. The
ended the business of the morning
session.
Afternoon.
The afternoon session was opened
by Dr. Que of Caldwell reading a
paper on the subject of "Obstetrics,
Conduct and Management." The Dr.
handled his subject like he knew
what he was writing about and re
ceived the close attention of the mem
bers. A number of other members
had been assigned subjects but they
not being present, the next In order
was the address of the president, Dr
Woodward of Payette. The address
was strictly on business lines. He
urged the members to greater exer
tion to the end that their particular
school of medicine have more bene
ficial laws enacted by the legislature.
The paper was also a resume of the
society, its condition as a power for
the benefit of Its members and a pro
tection to the public from fakirs and
tncompetentpractltioners. The subject
brought out some very interesting
discussions and the final result was
that a committee of three members
was formed, consisting of the presi
dent, secretary and one other mem
ber. The duties of this committee
will be to select one member from
each county in the district to serve
as a legislative committee. Dr.
Frank Scott of Roders, Ohio, oelug
present was called on for some re
marks, he responded with a short
talk, expressing himself as having
been much Interested in the reading
and discussion of the various papers.
He said that he had Sit years of ex
perience in the practice of medicine
and spoke from age and experience.
On motion. Dr. Scott was elected an
honorary member. The next busi
ness was the selection of a time and
place for the next meeting. It was
decided that Boise be the place and
the time be the meeting of the state
society in October.
Dr. Oue announced that arrange
ments had been made for supper af
ter which the members were invited
to visit the government dam on Deer
Flat, provisions having been made for
the trip over the Interurban road. Be
fore adjourning the thanks of the so
ciety were extended to the local mem
bers tor courtesies extended and to
the Commercial Club for the use of
the club room for the meeting.
the national government.
The State Experiment Station.
The agrcultural experiment station
located about two and one half miles
from Caldwell Is fast assuming the
appearance of a carefully conducted
farm. The location Is certainly an
ideal one for the object for which It
was intended. About 160 acres lays
or will lay under the government
canal now under construction known
as the Deer Flat Irrigation enter
prise. The object in the establish
ment of the station was for the pur
pose as the name Implies, of exper
imenting with various crops under
different conditions so as to determ
ine the best conditions under which
certain crops would give the beBt re
sults. The farm consists of 640 acres
and is located in section 9 and 10,
township 3, N. R. 3 west of Boise
meridian. The land Is on the east
ern slope of a ridge which has an ele
vation at Its highest point of perhaps
75 feet above Caldwell. The soil Is
of the saine quality that is found on
the bench land throughout the south
ern portion of the state. Mr. E. Nel
son is at present in charge of the
station and Is under a salary from
The state

and the government pays the man In
charge. The first work on the land
•'was done last fall and it was in the
wll-'.latter part of October before scarcely
have'any plowing was done and then but
<llttle, owing to the freezing weather,
' consequently one of the Important
| experiments, that of winter lrrl
gatlon was retarded and no reliable
Information can be Imparted to the
ranchers so far as the benefits to be
j derived from winter irrigation for
i spring crops is concerned.
Mr. Nelson has evidently been
busy man since taking charge of the
station. He has 80 acres cleared and
fenced and fully half of It under cul
tlvatlon. The ground that Is now In
crops Is plotted to one acre lots, these
lots or plots are planted to different
varieties of gralp. At present there la
but three Varieties of wheat, the blue
stem, the sonora and the karbanka.
The blue stem being tested under lr
rlgation and without Irrigation. The
gain is planted In rows so that It
can be cultivated. Experiments are
being made also with alfalfa and po
tatoes without Irrigation; the alfalfa
will perhaps survive the summer but
would not make a meat for one Jack
rabbit if he took all there was on the
plot, but the potatoes look fine and
(doubtless will demonstrate that tu
bers can be grown successfully with
out Irrigation. All the crops on the
farm that are under Irrigation look
fine. It must be remembered that
'this Is the first year that this ground
was under cultivation and conse
quently the best results can not bo
obtained.
There Is a very complete system for
Irrigating, a six horsepower engine is
installed near the Phylls canal and a I
4 inch pump is connected with the.
water In the canal and by means of i
a galvanised sheet Iron pipe the water ,
is forced to the hlght of 25 feet to'
a tank, from which it is conducted ,
to whatever point It is required. Mr. f
Nelson is fitting several acres for the i
Campbell system of cultivation. It
is the opinion of The Tirbune that the :
Campbell system "Will never become i
popular In this country for the reason '
that It requires too much work to get
the desired results. It will certainly |
pay some of our farmers to visit the
