Totals .
FACTS AND FIGURES.

AS will be seen from the above
the merchandise handled at the
Caldwell depot last year amounted
to fifteen million, one hundred and
!seventy-eight thousand, two hun
dred and sixty-two pounds. Be-
sides this there were four hundred
and twenty-five cars of stock hip
ped, which at twenty thousand
pounds to the car make eight mill
lion, five hundred thousand pounds,
thus making grand total of twenty
three million, six hundred and
seventy-eight thousand, two hun
bred and sixty-two pounds. To
move this it would require the SER
vices of one thousand, one hun
dred and thirty three freight cars
and fifty-six engines, and would
make a train over seven miles long,
very nearly covering the entire track
between here and Nampa. 1t is
an average of over three cars
day for every day in the year, and
as will be seen by the above table,
represents $63,367.64 paid for
freight alone at the Caldwell depot.
How is that for a town of 500 peo-
pie? 1t will be seen that the
month of June takes the lead with
3,311,916 pounds of merchandise
and Isl car loads of stock. August
follows with 2,613,O25 pounds of
merchandise and 1902 cars of
stock, and September closely
presses August. April makes the
poorest showing, and the month of
March is distinguished as being
the banner month in point of re:
ceipts, being $9,845.60-several
dollars above THE TRIBUNE's in
come for the same month. The
sales of tickets for the year
amounted to $9,63S.7O-making
the total receipts for freight and
tickets the sum Of $73,0O6.34.
Bear in mind this does not include
the express and telegraph business,
which if added would run the to-
tai figure to near 100000 or over
5000 for every man, woman and
child in Caldwell-and yet all this
business is done in an old shanty
ola depot that would not bring
over $3.50 on a high market. But
this article is intended to call at
tention to the business of Caldwell
and it's advantageous location as
shipping point and commercial
center, rather than to our depot,
for we are not as proud of the lat
ter as we might be. We would be
proud of it if there was any truth
in the saw that "pride goeth before
a fall" for then it might possibly
fall down. But to return to Cald-
well. We might write column
after column telling about its won
derful advantages, but the little
table above tells far better story.
Figures won't lie, nor editors either
for that matter, but the latter are
liable to forget. Seeing is believ-
ing, and by looking at the figures
above you can see what Caldwell |
HAS done the past year-not what
she is GOING to do in the dim misty
future when the conditions are ia
vorable. The figures above are
correct and represent the business
of Caldwell for 1888, no more or
no less. We venture no town on
Short Line can make a better show
ing.
