THE MAGIC CITY OF IDAHO.

Caldwell, the Operating Terminus of the
Oregon Short Line-0nIy Ten Days Old,
But Experiencing an Unprece denied
Boom-A Bright Future In Store-The
Coming City of Idaho.
Telegram to the Omaha Daily Republican.
CALDWELL, Idaho, October 4.-Your
correspondent finds here what bids fair
to be the magic city of Idaho. 1t is the
operating terminus of the Oregon Short
Line, 467 miles west of Granger and
1,343 miles from Omaha. 1t is 204
miles from Caldwell to Meacham, Ore
gon, the eastern terminus of the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company's
railway, which is to form part of the
Union Pacific route to Portland. Cald-
well is therefore 1874 miles east of Port
land. The town is only ten days old,
but is experiencing boom which sur
prises Idaho, being the first town which
has enjoyed anything of the kind since
the settlement of the territory. Thou
sands of fertile acres of land are tribu-
tary to the town and the completion of
the railway has brought rush of land
seekers, spectators and settlers. Sew
eral influences bearing upon the town
are making themselves felt to
the advantage of the place. 1t
will be the terminus of the rail-
way for considerable time, at least
until the big bridge on the Snake river

The Rival Towns.

From the Omaha Bee
There is bitter rivalry between the
new town of Caldwell and Boise CITY,
Idaho, though thirty miles apart. The
Oregon Short Line created the former,
and its location is such that at present
it is paralyzing the older town by its
enterprise and goaheadativeness Boise
citizens are struggling hard to stem the
business decline and have raised a
bonus of about 100000 to induce the
Short Line to build a branch line from
Kuna, fifteen miles distant. This offer
has been met with the declar-
alton upon the part of the
Oregon Short Line managers that
if the branch is built at all it must 90
from Caldwell. Passengers for Boise
do leave the cars at Kuna, but the
freight goes on to Caldwell and is there
distributed by immense trains of eight,
ten OF twelve horses to the wagon.
Boise is within two miles of the head of
the valley, and everything below it will
now work away from it. Down the
river toward Caldwell the feeling of
satisfaction at the discontinue of Boise
is very manifest. The wealthy farmers
and stockmen say that the rule has
been to oppose them when they could
not help themselves, and now that they
can help themselves they are turning a
cold shoulder toward Boise, and are
glad to do it. This is why they hail the
growth of Caldwell with delight.

ulation already established to supply,
and competition only with Boise City,
off the railroad, at the extreme upper
end of the valley and thirty miles
away.
A TOWN LOT BOOM.
As might be expected place with q
future as bright as Caldwell's affords q
good chance for coming money in real
estate. The Idaho & Oregon Land I'M
provement company and the Oregon
Short Line company control some 5000
acres of land here, and, unlike the plan
often followed, are pursuing liberal
policy to secure its development. They
have placed such figures on lots that
the buyer has a chance to make sonle-
thing himself, and to those who supply
important improvements, they do even
better. Business lots sell at from 800
to $500; residence lots from $50 to 500
and the best are going in way that
must be gratifying to the man who
writes the deeds. .Taa.a %
PLACE FOR A HONE.
The period has passed in Idaho when
the majority of our population expect
ed to remain only for a season-until
''strike" was made, and
then fly with the wealth accumulated to
other Hands, leaving the territory just
that much poorer for their stay. The
families who remain with us now for

The Oregon Short Line will do much
for Caldwell. This is the first point for
$50 miles (Shoshone being that far
easD suitable for extensive railway i'm
provements, and it is the only point
from which practicable route can be
found to Boise City and the mining re-
gions beyond. The Boise Valley Branch
has been located on this route, and it is
only question of time about its build
ing. 1t may be next year or the year
after, but certain it is when built it will
go from Caldwell. The natural rail-
way route to the upper portion Of the
Payette Valley is from here, likewise to
the mineral districts of Owyhee, South
Mountain and all southern idaho.
This should be an important railway
centre, and the Short Line company has
appropriated grounds for yards, build
ings, etc., on such Il lavish scale as to
prove that its projectors appreciate the
pany to sink piles for the two great
bridges across : Snake river al
short distance west of here, an
entire change of plans is nee

construction of piers. Hence Caldwell |

! is completed. 1t is therefore the dis
tributing point of section of country
200 miles west and north, and 100 or
more miles south. All stages and
freight teams for interior points outfit
and load here. Irrigating canals are
being constructed which will reclaim
the largest body of grain and fruit lands
in Idaho. The valleys leading towards
Caldwell comprise the largest area of
agricultural lands between Nebraska
and Oregon, and several of them are
already thickly populated. An agree
ment has just been made between the
Idaho and Oregon Improvement COM
pany, proprietors of the town-slte, and
a local corporation, for the construction
of a large canal and a system of water
works. Merchants at Salt Lake City,
Denver, Ogden and Boise City see
bright future for Caldwell, and are pre-
pairing to. erect business houses and
open stores. A free bridge across
the Boise river will be completed |
inside of sixty days, and will con-
centrate the heavy. emigrant travel at |
this point, as all other bridges across
streams which cannot be forded are /
built by private individuals who collect ;
toll. Wealthy citizens of the surround I
ing region are purchasing residence
property and are coming here to reside.
All these facts simply show that Cald-
well has -pired that sort of confidence
which tells for its future prosperity.
The writer is satisfied that it is the com
ing city of Idaho. 1t has all the adj
vantages of location, surroundings and
facilities for trading with a large scope

Upper Weiser, adjacent to both Of
these districts are very good showings
of coal, and near the latter is one of the
best mica deposits in the United States
South of US 90 to 80 miles are the great
Snake River gold beds of which the
Tribune readers often read, while east
of us up Boise river 100 miles are the
well known old gold and silver mines
of Atlanta and Rocky Bar,-mines
which have produced many fortunes
and are receiving a great impetus from
the completion of the iOregOn Short
Line.
These various mining regions, vast i'll
extent and richness, will always furnish
Il splendid market for farmers in the
country tributary to Caldwell and will
furnish us much business of various
kinds. Z.
OUR TIMBER LANDS.
Along the Boise, 40 to rs miles east
of us, and along the Payette from so to
IS miles north, are some of the heaviest
forests east of Puget Sound. There are
hundreds of thousands of acres of pine
equal to the best in Michigan, which
can readily be foated down the river
and sawed at our doors. The scheme
has been demonstrated feasible by the
railroad contractors who have floated
down hundreds of thousands of ties
and large quantities of heavy piling to
the boom at Caldwell. Two mills are
now busy on Payette, IS miles north
of Caldwell, tnrning out all kinds of
rough and dressed lumber, and there is
a capital opening here for similar en-
terprises. These regions must supply |
