coaches, and there were 218 immi-
! grants aboard, bound for Oregon
and Washington. Idaho will
eventually catch most of them.
The Republican Territorial
Central Committee have called a
convention at Boise City, May 2,
1888, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the National Republi-
can Convention, to be held in Chi
cage on the 18th day of June, 1888.
-Sprague, who brought ten or a
dozen fine stations to Caldwell
from Nebraska and disposed of the
same to our stockmen, about year
age, arrived some days since with
another lot of fine horses. They
can be seen at Campbell & Motifs
corral.
We are in receipt of San
Francisco Examiner which states
that M. b. Gwinn and J. O. Baker,
mining men of Idaho, are at the
Baldwin. We actually tremble
when we think what game" they
must have given that unsuspecting
reporter.
The w. C. T. U. was greeted
with a full house Sunday evening
! at their regular monthly meeting.
They carried out a very nice pro-
gram of music, Rotations, select
readings, etc., in a highly credita-
bic manner, and the entertainment
; was enjoyed by all. Some new
names were obtained to the pledge.
Mrs. F. L. Olmstead and lit
tie daughter, and Mrs. B. T. Young
were thrown backwards out of a
buggy last Sunday, the seat tipping
backwards as the buggy came out
of a rut. The child was uninjured,
but both the ladies were severely
though, it is hoped, not seriously
injured. Mrs. Young was able to
be around the next day but Mrs.
Olmstead is still suffering from a
sprained shoulder.
The Idaho World is very bitter
in it's denunciations of the Boise
Board of Trade for sending a re-
monstrance to Washington against
the Bed Rock Flume bill. We
have interviewed several Of the
river ranchers hereabouts, many of
whom dug gold in the Basin in
early days, on the subject, and they
are unit in pronouncing the re-
monstrance either a very foolish
notion or another Boise scheme.
--Isham & Co.'S new soda apara-
tus will soon be here, and it will be
a dandy. They will have the only
charging apparatus between Baker
City and Salt Lake, and will make
charging fountains a speciality.
They solicit orders all along the
Short Line and guarantee satisfac-
ton to all. They will also manu-
facture all kinds of refreshing
drinks, and will keep on hand pure
soda water for those desiring a
good drink.
The Bachelors Club is almost
thing of the past. Several mem
bers have deliberately and malic-
iously married without consent of
the chief, while two-thirds the re-
manning members are out sparkling
the girls seven nights out of the
week. Under those circumstances
it is impossible to get a quorum,
and no business can be transacted
without one. The Club will make
one more herculean effort to revive,
and throws open it's doors to wild
overs under 95 years.
The Boise papers are turning
over Mr.. Chas. A. Clark Of that
city for undertaking home print
ing establishments and sending
territorial printing to Omaha. THE
TRIBUNE also thinks that Mr.. Clark
might be in more honorable bust
ness, but it hardly sees the object
of attacking Mr.. Clark alone when
the Right Honorable James A. Pin
ney and another fellow by the
name of Curtis are in the same
small business. If you intend to
weed out the garden up there do it
clean and we will help you.
The story is waited over from
Sucker Greek that two sheep men,
well known in Caldwell, met in the
bloody arena with bare knuckles,
and attempted to settle a little
difference of opinion in a manly
manner. No. 1 hit No. 2 under the
ear and knocked him down, where
upon No. 2, who can't appreciate a
good joke, got up and began to
Systematically pulverize No. l, and
when he got through with him, it is
said he looked as though he had
been run through a threshing
machine.
The current number of the |
West Shore is accompanied by a
large, tinted supplement, showing
the famous Shoshone Falls, of
Snake river, a cataract superior to
Niagara in many respects, though |
carrying smaller volume of wa
ter. These monthly supplements
will continue feature of the mag
azine for 1888, and will make a
collection of engravings of
the most famous scenes of the Paci-
fic coast. A highly interesting
story of the civil war will be COM
menced in the March number.
The West Shore is printed at Port
land, Oregon, by L. Samuels, at
$3.50 per year.
