The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1889-03-30

Montana Central, Fred J. Kiesel,
Mayor of Ogden, Arthur Thomas,
Utah Commissioner. Col. J. A,
Goodhue, Capt. VIM. L. Geary,
Chas. Read and P. H. Lannen, all
capitalists and interested in the
Sebree ditch, were in town this
week. AS a result of their visit,
we learn that the following i'm
provements will be made on their
claims under the ditch. Mr.. Shell
by will clear, fence and put into
cultivation 100 acres at once. Mr..
Kiesel has about 300 acres ready
for seeding, and will put it all into
alfalfa, excepting a few acres for
grain and potatoes. Mr.. Goodhue
has over 300 acres cleared, part OF
which has been in cultivation, and
the balance will be put in at once.
Hay is the crop. He purchased
two teams in Caldwell Thursday,
which will be put to work at once,
leveling and preparing the ground
He will also erect commodious
barns and other buildings neces-
sary to successfully prosecute his
enterprise, and will put his entire
800 acres under fence. AS Messrs.
Read, Thomas and Lannen arrived
but yesterday morning, we have
been unable to learn the exact
amount of Improvements they will
make, but it is certain that they
will do something. Mr.. Geary
has purchased large bill of trees
and small fruits, and contemplates
the erection of a house and other
improvements. Howard Sebree
has one half of his section cleared,
and with the new Arnett drill is
putting in about twelve acres per
day. Altogether the most crafty
ing results from the building of the
Sebree ditch are visible. All of
those who have land under it have
the utmost confidence in it, and
that is half the battle in reclaim
ing desert land. The improve
ments mentioned in this article
are mostly those of outside capt.
talists, and are small when COM
pared to the combined efforts of the
resident settlers under the ditch.
"A wolf in sleeps clothing was
run down in Caldwell, last Monday,
and he now languisheth in the
county bastile at Boise City. This
fellow was an artist in his particu-

worked the Secret Society racket
for all there was in it, and obtained
money from both prominent Masons
and Odd Fellows, just as a short
Ioan of course, and even went so far
rs to pass himself off for a Presby-
terrain preacher, and work on the
sympathies of Rev. Booue, for few
,estercees. His game was to bor-
row "a dollar or two to send a tele-
gram for money" and would have
worked very nicely had not D. L.
