RESOLUTIONS.

Brothers of Mountain Gem Lodge
No. 3, K. of P.
WHEREAS, 1t has been officially
communicated to this Lodge by
Deputy Grand Chancellor John E.
Stearns, that Past Grand Chancel-
lor Frank e. James, Of the juris-
diction of Utah, has breathed his
last, and in obedience to the inn
pulse of our hearts and the estab-
lished usages of this order,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
That Mountain Gem Lodge No. 3
express its sorrow in his death.
In an order founded upon the
most sublime illustration of friend
ship of which we have any record,
death means something more than
a change. The golden chain that
binds us together is broken, link
is gone that can never be replaced,
and in our mystic circle we shall
miss the touch of a vanished hand
and the sound of voice that is
still.
Brother James was a true and
loyal Knight. His shield was I'M
sullied by dishonor and his virtue
as spotless as the lily. In all
things that pertained to the good of
the order he took the deepest inter-
est, and exemplified in his own life
and character the beauties of Friend
ship, Charity and Benevolence. He
was wise counselor and during
his long experience in the order had
made himself familiar with its his
tory, its laws and it's usages. He
regarded the Castle Hall with the
sanctity of a temple and found in
the teachings of the Ritual the hope
and consolation of religion. Brave
ly he entered the darkness and pass
ed beyond the purple hills to that
vast realm of silence and repose.
In death his eyelids closed, sweetly
as to nights repose, like flowers
at set of sun. No words of praise
from US can reach the mystic shores
of his spiritland, or awake to &C.
stacy his heavenly harp. On the
pages of memory his name is in
scribed in letters of living light, and
the record of his services has been
translated into immortality. And
be it further
Resolved, That the Castle Hall
Of tbis Lodge be draped in mourn
ing for period of thirty days, and
that these resolutions BIS spread
unon the record books, and copy
sent to the Grand Chancellor and to
the wife of the deceased.
Respectfully submitted in r. G.
& B. P. A. DEvERs,
JAS. S. NEGLEY, Com.

voters who can't get it through

BEFORE AND AFTER TAKING.
How the Opinion Of q HALEY Man mas
Changed. Eve u, Ear.

OAeA6O~s A-JS We 4<AAS
About a year ago George w.
Richards, of the Haley News
Miner, visited Boise City, and al
though he did not get nearer to
Caldwell than Nampa, he took the
liberty of telling his subscribers
all about our town, and especially
charging our dismal prospects and
hopeless future. In truth, his little
chapter on Caldwell was far from
complimentary to our growing lit
tie city. Our enterprising neigh
Dor up the track was described as
a yeritable Garden of Eden and a
land overlooking with milk and
honey, while Caldwell came in as a
dreary waste of alkali, and after
reading the article, person could
shut his eyes and in imagination see
the half-tamed inhabitants running
down jack rabbits for their ears.
The TRIBUNE, realizing that Mr..
Richards was a victim of misplaced
confidence, and that some over
enthusiastic Nampa "boomer" had
probably had his ear for a few
hours, made no reply, but content
ed itself by cutting out the article
and filing it away for future refer
ence. This year Mr.. Richards
again visited Boise City, and on
this visit wrote second chapter on
Caldwell. But this time he visited
the town and used his eyes instead
of his ears. 1t is really amusing
to read both articles-one written
on the hearsay of prejudiced per-
sons and the other from personal
observation and experience. The
following are some extracts from
chapter number two:
We took the west bound train to
the enterprising town of Caldwell,
and were agreeably surprised at its
neat, business-like appearance.
Caldwell contains two good
churches, a fine school house,
bank and several large stores.
Coffin & Bro. have one of the lar
gest, if not the largest, hardware
stores in the territory. y Cald-
well is the center of the stock and
wool trade, and most of the money
for the sales of wool and stock is
paid through the Stock Growers
and Traders Bank. One hundred
thousand dollars was paid through
the bank this season for wool, and
100000 for stock.
Caldwell is also the center of a
large agricultural and stock coun-
try, and is sure to become an i'm
portant town in the near future
The people are whole-souled, liberal
and sociable, and treat strangers
with that urbanity that makes them
feel at home at once. They do not
stand on the corner and ogle per-
son and appear as though they
were scheming how to beat him out
of quarter, but receive him with
generous hospitality.
Any body visiting Boise City,
instead Of waiting at Nampa three
or four hours for the east bound
train, will be well paid to continue
on to Caldwell and wait there.
That's all right, Bro. Richards.

in a very healthy and fourishing

probably done more good for Cald-

number of stockholders to be thirty
four, and the aggregate number Of

tariff in a spirit Of fairness towards all

5. p. Mccormick, the gentleman
from Taylor county who wants to rep
resent this county in the State Senate,
is an enterprising, prOgrcssivcd sort of
being. He is booming the State
with vengeance. lie has had printed
and is spreading broadcast throughout
this county a spurious, mendacious cir
cular in which he says that this State
is cursed with policy ''thot turns from
our borders the intelligent business man
and the enterprising settler who seeks
new and cheaper homes, where they
may have an equal chance in the race
of life and enjoy equal rights and priv
ileges before the law" The falsity of
his statement is only cqualcd by the
vicious grammar with which his mali
cious ideas are clothed. The facts are
the direct opposite, and Mr.. McCor-
mick, if he belongs to the Intelligent
business" class, knows it. Never in
the history of this State was there a
brighter business prospect. Intelligent
business men from all sections are
seeking investments in our rich little
State-and this without regard to their
past or present political affiliations.
The whole State, with its immense
wealth in timber, mineral and agricul-
tural lands, is being developed and
settled as it never was before. 1t is
the spirit of the times, and no party or
State policy can claim it as its own Gre
alton. More coal mines are being
opened, more railroads built, more fac
tories erected, more thrift and enter
prise exists among our people all over
State than Mr.. Mccormick ever dreamed
of. All this is amply attosted by the
statements of genuine business men
from all parts of the State, and repre-
senting all shades of political parties at
the convention in Wheeling on the 29th
of February last. Such false and
slanderous statements as the above are
unworthy citizen of the State who
has the States good at heart, no mat
ter to what party he may belong. 1t
is low fling without shadow of foun-
dalton, and whully for the sake of votes
for office. 1t can only omanate from
the demsgogue pure and simple. Let
those who may be seeking homes in our
county not be misled or discouraged by
such mud-throwing. We have a Re-
publican county in Democratic State,
and we are all happy and contcnted
except the inveterate ofice-seeker and
demagogue. Come with your capital
and thrift and energy, good friends
from without our borders, and settle
right here, and you will be assured by
honest men as true as the sun ever
shone on, both Republicans and Dem
ocrats, that you can enjoy life and pros
per. Don't listen to the pessimistic
and pestiferOus officc-soeker.

MAJ. U. n. ORR has announced him
self for the Legislature. We inter-
pref this as a kind of head-off to the
candidacy of our young friend, Frank
Stanhagon. Frank is deserving of
better fate. He has always been an
ardent support and hustler for the e.
o. p. in Preston, but he has been un-
fortunate in not receiving much gov
eminent pap. 1t is tue that s. p.
Mccormick remembered him in his
hour of supremacy and lordship, but
the naughty Democrats stepped in about
that time and the official heads Of Sam
uel and Frank went flying through the
air like the traditional brcechos While
our admiration goes out for Frank
staunch support sor Mccormick for
State Senator, we can not recommend
his astuteness as a politician, and it
should be warning to ther young poll
iticians to never attempt the folly Of
the dull on the bridge, and try and
butt the old bosses out of the leader
ship and dictatorship of the Republi-
can party in this county. The ARous
being the official organ of the minor
ity Republicans of this county, it
moves the nomination of j. Frank
Stinhagen for the Legislature. VIII
