well, from a. HOWARD, tnIs Weeh.
Cooper and Chas. Sebree went
to Nampa last Sunday, on the con-
solidated car shops hand car.
They say Nampa is improving.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
Society will hold grand bazaar
the 9TH and 9th of December.
Look out for it. Something rich.
Mr.. Arnett received a letter
from Denver Thursday morning
which stated that the snow was
two feet deep at that place and
still coming down.
Every cowboy or stock man
should take chance in the great
rattle, noticed in another column.
The goods are just as represented,
and the rattle will be conducted on
"the square" Try your luck.
The Nampa Progress says
that Charlie Picard has purchased
lots in that town, and will erect
house thereon and move his fam
lily to Nampa at once. Good-by
Charlie.
&C. G. Stevenson, Territorial
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, was in town short time last
week. He says the schools of the
territory in general are in good
condition.
Moe certainly has the most
elegant assortment of jewelry, sill
verware, watches, etc., ever seen in
this country. Just step into his
store and see his display. 1t is a
thing of beauty.
The election here last Tuesday
was Caldwell against Dixie, and
Dixie came out ahead. Taking
everything into consideration, Cald-
well made a good showing for
statehood The anti statehood
men claimed the day by three to
one at noon.
Found, last Saturday, on the
road to Long Valley, six miles this
side of Marsh & Ireton's ranch,
calico dress pattern and pair of
kid gloves. The package was done
up in red wrapping paper. The
owner can have the same by calling
at this Office and paying for notice.
The election here Tuesday was
fairly and honorably conducted,
but different from most places the
enemies of statehood assumed the
aggressive and pushed the election.
Had the friends of the measure
shown as much enthusiasm as did
the opponents, the result would
have been different.
Uncle George Holbrook, of
Parma, has gone to Long Valley,
where he will spend most of the
winter. Uncle George, was rash
enough to bet new hat that Ada
county would 60 against the con
stitution, and as he lost by about
1000 votes, he has concluded to
leave such a deluded community.
Dan Levan, who has been
prospecting the past year, and who
is said to have "struck it rich" near
the head of Willow Creek, came in
last Saturday to "hole up" for the
winter. Being a bloated capitalist
does not seem to hurt Dan. much.
He speaks to common people and
visits the print shop as of yore.
We are pleased to announce
that the excellent reputation of
Mr.. P. A. Devers for truth and YER
acity remains unsullied. When
he made the assertion a month
ago that he was going east to be
married, he for the first time made
a statement which was to be ques-
toned, and his friends awaited the
issue with considerable interest.
When, however, he arrived last
Sunday night bringing with him
one of Pennsylvania's lovliest and
most accomplished daughters, his
veracity was triumphantly vindi-
Gated, and he and his bride were
received with open arms. But
suppose he had returned alone
we tremble at the awful fate
which awaited him.
There is a good deal of kick
ing over the way Road Commits
sioner Dryden is working the roads,
and THE TRIBUNE has been urged
to take the matter up and "give
him fits" The TRIBUNE declines
to enter into any unnecessary con-
troversy. We have no doubts but
that Mr.. Dryden is doing what he
considers for the best good of all.
Whether he is or not is merely a
question of opinion. The ranchers
