Lately Organized Object Pio

Uoioo and co-operation in the
watchword of today and every Inter
eat and ('Una of people ! gradually
being amalgamated into societies.
combines and trusts. Every Indus
trial luteiest baa its nulons and the
lawyer, doctori, dentists, newspaper
men, merchant!, bankers, minister!
and in faot a boot every vocation has
been unionized more or leu. The
bauka have tbeir associations, the
railroads their combine! and the big
financier! their trusts. Even the
farmers are feeling the impulse of the
times, and in the more progreisive
and thickly s'ttled sections anions
have b en formed for fruitgrowers,
stockmen and other agricultural In
terests aud the grange and other or
ganizations solidify the interests and
advance the well being of the people
of the rnral districts.
Unions and kindred organizations,
when rightly used materially advance
the wellfare of those taking part,
and also do much to bring higher
ideals and a general betterment of
conditions for the world at large. By
bringing about co-cpuration it enables
more to be accomplished by a given
effort than through Individual work.
When the proper feeling controls,
those unions do much to eradicate
jealousy and unfair competition, and
to euoouraga a spirit of co-operation,
education, and of mutual interest in
each other's welfare that makes fcr
the common good of all.
Having tlm is mind the physicians
of Grants Pass and of the county
have organized the Josephine County
Medical Association, with the present
membership made up of Doctors F.
W. Van Dyke, W. II. Flauagau, J. 0.
Smith, D. P. Love, Loughridge, M.
0. Findloy, W. F. Kramer, F. D.
Strieker, T. E. Heard, (1. H. Douglas
aud R. C. Kelsey.
A. meeting was held Tuesday even
lug for permanent organization at the
office of Drs. Findley and Lough
ridge, which was attended by all the
members except Drs. Beard and Doug
las, who wore called that evening to
patients. After buiiuess of the meet
iug was transacted a very pleasant
social hour was had. Mrr. Fiudley
and Miss Loughridge acted as hostess
i'S and served an appetizing lunch of
colTne, sandwiches fruits and
nuts. In addition to these ladies
i here wire also present Mrs. Love,
Mrs. Strieker and Mrs. Kelsey. At
this meeting Dr. Van Dyke was
elected pru-lilent, Dr. Flit' agan vice
president, and Dr. Smith secretary
nd treasurer. A committee was ap
pointed to draw np permanent con
stitutiou and by-laws aud a oominit
toe was also selected to prepare, a fee
hill to govern all professioniil charges
made by the men. bers. The concensus
of opinion was that there should be
no material change in the present
charges except for night trips. It whs
agreed that the present fee tor night
trips to the country was inadequate to
the expense for repairs to vehicles aud
the wear of horseflesh as well as tlio
hardship to the physicist!. This
raise in fees tic iug practically an ad
dition to the had road Indirect tax that
the farmers of Josephine county are
paying. Another object in raising
the night fee was to stimulate both
town ami country people to not wait
until midnight to call a phys'oian,
hut to where possible, attend to that
duty during the day, or early evening.
The principal purpose i f the Assy
ria! inn is social and educational, the
fixing of a uniform fee bill being a
minor object, Doctors are too proue
to live within a little world to them
selves aud to be Jealous aud distrust
ful of their fellow pract loners. To
break this spirit down aud to build
up one of generosity and co operation
will be the work of the Association.
In the line of education it is expected
to make the Association of much bene
tit to its mcmliers. All progressive
physicians desire to Increase their
knowledge pertaining to their profes
sion and after often take post grad
uate courses. Every physician in his
pi act ice has cases involving rare com
pilations and riltllcult and new
methods of treatment. To share with
his follow physicians the knowledge
gained ill the diagnosis and treatment
of such cases will be expected of the
members of the Association. Meet
ings of the Association will be held at
least once a mouth and at encli time
some topic, previously assigned or
selected by a member, will be con
sidred, making it ill effect a practi
cal school of medicine and surgery.
If the doctors of Grants Pass are able
to curry out the broad, helpful plans
of the Josephine County Medical As
social ion It w ill be another evidence
of the progtessiveness of this com
munity. Such medical associations
are common in the Eastern states
and they are doing much to make
more pleasant ami agreeahli the lot
of the physician which is not the lite
of else that it is generally held to be,
and to check the tendency of getting
into a rut and fossl lining, as some
doctors do, but to stimulate a de
sire to progress aud to keep up with
the advancemen' of medical science,
which is developing to higher
standards iultn as rapidly as any of
the of n r n'len.-es.
