The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1889-04-20

called at this office yesterday.
Mr.. Clay Branstretter, the eff
Gent receiver at the Boise City land
Office, was in town a few hours last
Friday.
Bob Greenhow has shaken the
/ alkali from his feet and gone to la
Dor in the the vineyard of Capt. De-
Lamar, at Wagontown.
Jake Mussel was in town again
this week. Like all sheep men he
wears a grin that betokens good
range and better prospects.
-ReY. r. NJ. Gwinn goes to Boise
City on the 9th inst, to act as
Chaplain for the Odd Fellows in
their exercises on that date.
DIR. L. Galitzkl was in Cald-
well one day this week. He con-
templates making regular visits
here in the future, notice of which
, will appear in these columns.
john Mcmahon, the succor
creek philosopher, was busily en-
gagged in scattering smiles among
! his Caldwell friends this week. John
wants to bet that that long fish
Capt. Packard caught was tape
worm.
Mr.. w. w. Emison, an enter
prising rancher near Ontario, was in
Caldwell last Saturday and paid
his respects and subscription to
TIE TRIBUTE. Mr. Emison has
residence in Caldwell, and until
last winter, his family have win
tered here.
Judging from the merry ring
Of Jake Hamm's anvil, which seems
to be resounding the hum ofindustry
both carly and late, we should
judge that our old friend has all the
work he can attend to. And, why
should he not? He is an able, AMI
experienced workman and has al
ways given satisfaction. When Jake |
bares his arm and yields the ham
mer. you are always sure of value
received for your money.
When our Solons were making
laws to protect the fish in our
streams, they overlooked a serious
defect. When water is turned into !
the 1rrigating bitches the fish run
up these bitches in regular schools,
only to perish by thousands. The
bitches are full of them. More fish
are destroyed by one big dicth than
by all the dynamite and seins put
together, yet there is no provision
requiring ditch companies to put
screen across their headgates, to pre-
vent the fish from swimming up to
irrigate somebody's ranch. The
matter was suggested to us by Mr..
Pat. Fahy. of Middleton, who says
the bitches up there swarm with
them. Ditch owners would do
good thing if they would screen
their head gates without the inter-
ference of the law.
DR. a. +. lsham, Assistant
Surgeon of the Union Pacific at this
place has recently been rendered
the position of physician and sur
geon for an English and American
railroad company in Mexico, at a
salary of $500 per month with what
he can make from outside practice.
DR.. Isham has been physician and
surgeon for the Union Pacific here
for the last five years and has dis
charged his duties to the satisfac-
ton of the employees and with
credit to the company. The DR.. is
a skilled surgeon and it would be
loss to the community for him to
60. His brother who was here
two years ago is now resident engi-
ncer, while an Older brother is Chief
Engineer of the road. The DR.. was
surgeon on railroad in Canada
where his brother was Engineer be-
fore he came west, so he is eminent ,,
ly fitted for such a position. He {
has established such a reputation
here that his future success is as :
snred and he can ill afford to go.
The following item was sent us ,
this week by a contributor who c
failed TO sign his name. We give
it for what it is worth:
