Outside of railroad business, the post
Office is the best indicator of the growth
and business of town. Our office is
now presidential and the postmaster
must be appointed by the President in
the future. The business done at the
Caldwell postoffice is enormous. The
present postmaster has kept an assist
ant at his own expense, the past few
months, but now, undoubtedly the
department will allow him something
for that purpose. We have a very
creditable office in Caldwell, and the
patrons will be pleased to hear of it's
promotion. Here's locking at you Mr..
Pm.
The Holiday number of West
Shore is an elegant specimen of color
printing. Its designs are beautiful
and varied, and its literary features
are of the highest order, all being
suited to the season. Nothing finer
has been received from the great east
ern illustrated papers. Every journal
list in the northwest feels proud that
such publication, which has no rival
outside of New York City, should be
produced here, and every citizen of the
northwest should take an equal pride
in it and give it hearty support.
Copies of the Holiday number can be
purchased of news dealers, or by mail
from the publishers at Portland, Ore
gon. Price 25 cents.
Work has not yet been commenced
on our wagon bridge, and we are in
formed that the contractors have not
been heard from since leaving Boise
City last fall. The contract was let to
an eastern company, who filed bonds to
the amount of 5000 that they would
have the the bridge completed on or
before the 18th day Of January, 1891
