THE DOCTORS OF IDAHO
HOLD INTERESTING MEETING

VALUABLE PAPtRS READ-MUCH GOOD ACCOM

ACCOtNl Of PROCEEDINGS
The South Idaho Medical Society
met in Caldwell Tuesday. The at
tendance was not as good as was ex
pected, there only being about 15
members present, yet the meeting was
considered a very successful one. The
local reception committee consisting
of Drs. Gue, 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. Alien 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 Meridiah read
the first paper entitled "Exophthal
mic Goiter," with a report of the c»se.
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
Always by reason of the physician's
pkill. 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
usual 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. Yuung of Caldwell fol
lowed with a paper on the subject of
'tfföphrltls of Pregnancy." The sub
'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

Who Knows?
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

asked, that the proposed Une which

«that person was Jesss Gowen; they

and the fact that Gowen 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.

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. Gue 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 partlcular
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
lncompetentpractltloners. The subject
brought out some very interesting
discussions and the final result was
that a committee of three members
was formed, consisting of the preti
dent, secretary and one other mem
ber. The duties of this com..uttee
will be to select one member from
each county In the district to serve
as a legislative committee. Dr
Fi'ank Scott of Roders, Ohio, oeing
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 34 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. Gue announced that arrange
ments had been made for supper öf
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 for courtesies extended and to
the Commercial Club for the use of
the club room for the meeting.

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 aB to determ
ine the best conditions under which
certain crops would give the best re
sults. The farm couslsts of 640 acres

meridian. The laud 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 same quality that is found on
the bench land throughout the south
ern portion of the state. Mr. E. Nel

ranchers so far as the benefits to be
derived from winter Irrigation for

Mr. Nelson has evidently been a
tiusy man since taking charge of the
station. He has 80 acres cleared and
fenced and fully half of It under cul
tlvation. The ground that Is now In

lots or plots are planted to different
varieties of grain. At present there la

being made also with alfalfa and po

Nelson is fitting several acres for the
Campbell system of cultivation. It
is the opinion of The Tirbune that the
Campbell system will never become
popular In this country for the reason
that It requires too much work to get
the desired reaults. It will certainly
