1t is estimated that 1900 ex-union sold
iers of the G. A. r, will be in line next week
at San Francisco.
When you are in town you can select
your own lumber and, therefore, satisfy your
self But if ordered from abroad, some one
else must pick it out. Cowden always pays
special attention 10 orders of this kind, and
gives them his personal attention. His prices
are away down. Try and be convinced.
1t is whispered about that the U. P. peo-
pie are to lease the 0. X. N. Co.'S line from
Huntington westward. This would in all
probability make Caldwell the end of divis-
ion, the next west being Baker City, Oregon,
The o. r. N. folks have until the goth to
make up their minds, and.it is to be devoutly
hoped they will ratify the lease;
-Robt. Henderson, who was in the city
yesterday, has new scheme for cutting hay
on the Snake River islands. He has built
large sail boat which will carry several tons,
has put his mower and team on the island, is
busily engaged in cutting the rich, heavy grass
which grows there. He states that it is as
high as his chin, and will yield from two to
three tons per acre of as fine quality Of hay
as one might desire.
Enterprise talks, and don't you forget it,
Cowden & Co. last week received, direct from
the mills, ten car loads of rough lumber, and
24o M. Oregon Cedar shingles. They can
fill any order, from an elevator down to
chicken house-cqn fill it promptly and at
prices astonishingly low. Don't forget that
they are the pioneers in their line, are fully
identihed with the town, and carry the big
gest stock this side of Walla Walla.
Those at the head Of the Bellevue Rae
ing Association, have deemed it advisable to
postpone their opening program few weeks
after The date first decided on. This will give
the circle ample time to be in first class condi-
ton, and as some of the best records on the
coast will be tested there, it is desired that
every opportunity be given them. Some 2S
or 30 men are at work on the track, and when
it will be the finest in the west.
The date will be announced in these columns
as soon as decided upon.
Read the ''ad' of Coffin & Bro. on the
first page of this paper. Get onto it and
weep. This enterprising firm know the value
of printers ink, and knowing it, they are
quick to take advantage Of it. Coffin & Bro.
are proud to state that they are doing an i'm
mense business, and expect to continue it if
fair and honorable treatment, low prices and
frst-class goods will hold it. They do not
propose to be undersold by anyone, and al
though talk is cheap, trial will convince the
most skeptical that it is truth. Don't forget
hat we are away to the front and intend to
remain there.
Last Sunday evening an old fellow be-
came somewhat hilarious, and imbued with
he idea that he ought to lick the town by de-
all, started in on Mosby. Mosby wouldn't
come to the scratch, so he next sought for
blood with Charlie Chambers, of the Palace
Restaurant. Charlie met him half way and
more. and for short space of time it looked
ike the thunder clouds of war had settled over
over peaceful hamlet. Charlie Reed and Dan
Brown interrupted the festivities, and in the
name of the law commanded peace. Fine,
81; costs, $50. Total, $2I, Slightly ex-
oensive, but lots of fun.
Verify great things have come to pass
Caldwell sleepeth no more. The trade Of this
vast section demands it, and the law doth give
t. The time has passed when little one
lorse merchants can supply the great and
growing demand Of this great country Real
zing this, Coffin G. Bro. have put in an i'm
nense stock Of boots and shoes, gents fur
lishing goods, etc. etc., and are now prepared
o meet the wants of the people in this line,
Is well as in hardware and groceries, We
ouy for spot cash, direct from the manufac-
urers, and can sell at prices which will as
onish you. The trade is invited to call and
Examine our immense stock, and see if we do
lot make our words good. We retail goods
It wholesale prices.
The meeting to organize fire company
vas held in Wilson's shoe shop last Saturday
vening. A large number of the citizens |
we're present. After some short speeches |
rom old firemen relative to fire matters gen
rally, it was decided to organize some sort of
company in Caldwell. AT present it is i'm
'ossible to state just what it will be--whcther
hose company, hook and ladder or bucket
rigade, but organization of any kind is bet
er than nothing. Mcssrs. Beatty, Wheeler
nd Devers were appointed as a committee on
constitution and bylaws, and Messrs. Brown,
,hris. Fahy and Moe a committee to solicit
nenrbcrs. Both committees were instructed
