The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1888-08-11

line question Wnetnef or mol
Caldwell ought to incorporate, is
one that all should study. There
is no question but that incorpora.
ton is good thing and a great ad.
vantage to town in many ways
but it also increases taxation
Now the only question arising is
this: Are the benefits and advan-
tages arising from Incorporation
just returns for the increased taxa
ton? THE TRIBUNE has as yet not
investigated the matter fully, and
is not prepared at present to ex-
press an opinion /Weiser incor-
pofated some months ago, and the
last issue of the Leader talks this
way: "No citizen of the town, or
those who visit the place often, can
help but admit that the incorpora-
ton has been of great public bene-
fit in many ways. Since the town
has been incorporated fewer drunk
en- rows and quarrels and less hood
lumism have disturbed the peace
| and quietude of our citizens; no
hogs are wallowing in the streets
and around our doors; no great
bands of lousy, NANCY, fighting
ours are barking at every PERSONS
.heels as they happen to drive, ride
or walk through town. Our streets
and thoroughfares are in better
condition than ever before, the
many irrigating bitches all being
nicely bridged. People can now
leave their wagons on the streets
few momer is with -four or gro
ceries on them-and even a little
hay-without having a dozen old
COWS with their fore feet in the Wa
gon box eating, chewing and de-
stroying provisions. Property
owners in town can, in the future,
set out trees and beautify their
homes, thus adding public wealth,
with the assurance that no hungry
cow or other stock are going to de-
stroy them. Yet, to the surprise Of
all, few of our citizens are so
close-sighted that they are making
a terrible howl. Take look, gen.
tlemen; quietly study the matter
over a little bit, and we think you
will come to the conclusion that
trying to make a COW pasture of
the streets, alleys andsspublic lands
of town is a bad idea, and that
you never can please the people,
any more than you could by trying
to run pest house in the streets
of New York City. These are
facts"
Good work and low prices al
ways command plenty to do. In
|spite of the general depres sion Of
business this summer, THE TRI-
BUNE's job press has kept up such
continual clatter, that DR.. Maxey,
whose Office adjoins THE TRIBUNE,
went to Long Valley for a little
quiet and rest, and Lawyer Reed,
whose office joins on the other side,
was forced to move out on a sage
brush ranch for the same reason.
But still the best job press in Idaho
keeps up its merry clatter, and has
at present $4,000 impressions star
ing it in the face and new orders
arriving daily. THE TRIBUNE ex-
poets to put in steam power as soon
as suitable office can be obtained.
We predict a good trade this
fall. Last spring the outlook was
gloomy, and there was little or no
trade outside of actual necessities.
Everything is much brighter now.
Instead of a failure, the crops of
Boise Valley have turned OUT bet
ter than usual, more cattle, horses
and sheep have been shipped than
ever before, the mines of Silver City
are taking on a lively appearance,
and everything points to increased
activity in all branches of business.

economical of toilet preparations,
BY it's use ladies can produce an
abundant growth of hair, causing
