Everybody knows Gov. Stewart, of
Falk's Store, and his stereotyped joke
OF asking every person he meets what
part of Missouri are you from?"
When Uncle Bill appears before the
great white walls and st. Peter answers
his knock, the Gov. will ask him what
part OF Missouri he is from before he
has time to open his mouth, and tn
audacious and absurd question will
carry him through, as it has many,
times here below. The other day in
the Capitol Hotel, at Boise City, Gov.
Stewart was amusing himself as usual,
which means that he was opening the
tap of his irrigating canal, when in
walked Norman B. Wiley, Governor
Of the great state of Idaho, three sena-
tors and all. Some mutual friend i'm
mediately gave the two governors an
introduction. Gov, Wiley extended
his hand with the usual salutation, but
the gentleman from Payette did not

While the town of Caldwell was
engaged in stealing coal, TIE TRIBUNE
did not attempt to hide the. fact, but

and in order that this community may
be placed right before the people, we
will state that since coal could be pur-
chased, not pound has been stolen.
That we took coal early in the winter
is not to be denied, but our defense is
that money failed 70 bring. it and we
had to have it. A coal train could now
stand on the side track week and not
be molested.
The many friends of Dan LIE Van
and Cox Bros, will be pleased to learn
that they have bonded their birthday"
mine on Willow creek, to Mr.. David
Falk, for $4,000. The Birthday" is
only one Of the many fine prospects
the boys have on Upper Willow creek,
about twenty-five miles from Caldwell,
and averages ABOUT Ave feet of gold
bearing quartz which runs e75 per
ton.
Mayor. Gwinn and lady visited
Portland, Oregon, this week. While
in Oregon Mr.. Gwinn interviewed Gov
ernor Pennoyer in regard to the divis.
ion of Ada county. That distinguished
gentleman said it was all right and
that he would not veto the bill-if It
got to him.
We understand that the cook book
system of marriage ceremony will be

present term Of Office. This system is
one Of the most popular systems now
in use and was invented by Swain
Beatty, Of Caldwell. Idaho.-Weiser
Signal.
