The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1888-04-07


view TO location. He says many
people in his section have idaho
fever" and that some of them will
soon be out here for treatment.
The Great Boise-Nampa Com
bination played the great comedy
"As we Want 1t; or You Don't
Know What You Want" to a full
house recently, in Silver City.
1t was not we'll received by the UNI
appreciative citizens of Silver.
The friends of Miss Dollie
Mott gave a very pleasant party in
her honor last Tuesday evening at
the Pacific Hotel. Miss Dollie
has many warm friends here who
will miss her in their circle. Her
home will be at Middleton in the
future.
Jim Wardwell, of Emmett,
was in town this week. He just
came down from Boise where he
had been having an interesting
interview with Judge Hays for an
assault on Gov. Stewart. The
Judge fined him $3.50 and costs.
Wardwell says the Judge fined him
500 and charged him $50 for the
beautiful and pathetic lecture he
delivered to him.
The children of the M. E.
Sunday school gave very pleas
ing entertainment at the school
house last Sunday evening. Super
intendent Bailey and his corps
of efficient teachers have evidently
been doing good work. The school
has made very rapid growth and
seems to be in fourishing condi-
ton. The children deserve praise
for the manner in which they rem
dered their various parts
Mrs. Collins, of Mountain
Home, has bought out Mr.. Gale
Roswell, and will conduct the Pa
cifc hotel in the future. Mrs. Col
Inns is we'll known all along the
Short Line, and has the reputation
of running the best hotels on the
line. She is full of business and
enterprise and will thoroughly re-
fit and refurnish the Pacific through
out. Caldwell will soon have cause
to feel proud of her railroad house.
Boise City and Nampa sent
delegates to Silver City with 81
600 and instructions to tell them
what they wanted. Caldwell sent
delegates to meet Silver City on her
own proposition, but to win regard
less of expense. AS a consequence
Caldwell gets just what Boise want
ed, for less than half the amount
of money Boise took over. Moral:
Give people that live outside of
Boise credit for having horse sense,
and don't try to dictate to the world.
Boise City has now surely
found her place. The first and
only real brilliant move she ever
attempted to make was knocked
out by Caldwell in one round. And
she had a powerful ally in the
shape of Nampa at her back to
boot. Poor Boise! she did the best
she knew how, but she ought to
realize by this time that her place
is to follow a brilliant example, not
to attempt to set ONE. The idea of
Boise and Nampa combined run
ming up against Caldwell anyhow
The gall Of some people is truly
appalling. (Goak.)

Bill Nye says that man who
would take a paper for a whole
year, and read it fora whole year,
and refuse to pay for it, is not
worth the great chunk of mud God
Almighty used in making him.
We know man in Caldwell 1--WE
withhold his name for the sake of
his neighbors WHO goes to GER
tain business house as regularly as
Saturday comes around and bor-
rows THE TRIBUNE, sits around in
the way until he has read every
line in it, and then growls because
it is not larger? VIII some kind
philanthropist tell us what a man
of that kind is worth?
There are three funny things
about the Silver City telephone and
telegraph business: 1st. That the
Boise movement is being made
wholly in the interest of three for
warding firms there and our suburb
Nampa who have shrewdly played
Boise at large into putting up three
or four thousand dollars for their
exclusive benefit. I'd. That should
Boise build line IN addition to
ours said three firms would of
course transfer an important pro-
portion of their business to Nampa
at the expense of Boise, and Sd;
that the margin of profit on the
small amount of business that said
three firms might get under the
most favorable circumstances is so
ridiculously small that there seems
to be no legitimate excuse for such
an outlay of Boise cash except an
insane and undying jealousy for
