As a side note, I live pretty close to Weiser and have been there several times. At one point in time (about the time Walter Johnson was there) there were Opium Dens, whore houses and something like one bar to every 30 residents or something! It was a rough town in the middle of nowhere in Idaho and was a big railroad hub, so a tough "old west" town. Many of the original buildings and main street are still there and it is a cool place! If anyone is ever in the area for some weird reason, its a cool place to spend an afternoon!
