If the people of Caldwell are
not posted it will not be The TRI
BUNE's fault. The people appre
ciate its magnificent offers and are
taking advantage of it.
George Dement, says he has
field of wheat five feet high, well
headed and filled, which he raised
without irrigation. No reduction
on Georges statements in this shop,
| either.
Somebody has dug up the old
depot rumor again and started it
in circulation. We believe the le-
gend runs that we are to have a
new depot this fall, this time.
Sherman Coffin sold 100000
pounds of wool on Monday and on
Wednesday received a telegram
that wool had dropped two cents
per pound in Boston. Talk about
playing in luck!
John Zehner, in connection
with his brother, Sherman, and a
gentleman by the name of Meyers,
are going to open up q store in
Long Valley in the near future.
Mr.. Meyers will take charge of the
enterprise.
John Fink, one of our intelli-
gent ranchers, who reads and does
his own thinking, purchased a
a cabin passage on the good craft,
TRIBUNE for a years voyage, this
week. Needless to say he will have
a prosperous journey.
-Isham is in training for a
grand knock out with high prices.
Having put on the gloves of COM
petition he is slugging the sand
bag of big profits, while the public
put up money on him. He chal-
anges anybody in his line to stand
up before him.
MIR. L. D. Potter laid on our
table last Thursday one of the
finest peaches we have seen in a
long time. Il was raised on his
ranch below Caldwell from tree
set out but two years ago. 1t is an
index of the wonderful fruit country
the whole Boise Valley is destined
to become.
In reading an editorial cores
pondence in the Moscow Star of
Idaho, descriptive of a trip to
Portland, we notice about three
sticks which was stolen bodily from
letter on Pocatello written by
our brilliant young friend Wild
man, of the Boise Statesman.
No gaul or nothing about that!
MIR. s. L. Morrow has resigned
the Office Of stock inspector Of Ada
County, AMI the resignation has
been accepted. Mr.. M. informs us
that he is going into the black
smith business again. There are
many persons, whom ST. used to
swing the hammer for, who will be
pleased to learn that he contem-
plates returning to his first love.
Sherman M. Coffin sold on
Monday of this week a round 2O0,-
600 pounds of wool, making the
largest single transaction in wool
ever known in Caldwell, and clos
ing the wool sales for the season.
The firm of Frank R. Coffin & Bro.
have handled this year 331 900
pounds of wool, Gwinn and Noble
handled very near the same
amount, making about 100000
pounds shipped from Caldwell this
year. This is more wool than any
one Idaho town ever handled-by
actual figures, we mean, not esti-
mates. Not bad record for Cald-
we'll, "the Little Giant"
Mr.. Clarence S. Scott has re-
signed his position as cashier in
the Stockgrowers and Traders
Bank at this place, owing to fail
ing health. He still retains, how
ever, his one-third interest in the
bank, refusing fiattering offers for
the same. The withdrawal of Mr..
Scott from our business circles is
the cause of deep regret on the
part of his friends. Under his
efficient management the Stock
growers & Traders Bank has be-
come an institution of permanency
and stability second to none in
Idaho. Started something over
two years ago in q small room now
occupied by q barber shop, with no
name, reputation or business as a
bank, it now occupies a good brick
