The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1891-10-31

The LADIES of the NJ. T.. church will
give a tea on Wednesday evening,
November 4, at the home of Mrs. II. ii
Jones. Everybody is invited to attend.
The editor is not without honor in
Silver City. That small portion of his
time that he is not entertaining lady
callers, the other sex waylays him and
gives him gold headed canes and other
tritles. The average editor is content
to get off without licking, but some
people have greatness thrust upon
them.
We can probably explain the real
cause of DE Lamars resignation as
Worlds Fair commissioner. He adver-
tised extensively to duplicate, out of
his own pocket, any subscription given
to the cause. THE TRIBUNE, while not
saying much, had nearly perfected
arrangements to give its check for
81, 100000. 1t seems that the fact
leaked out and friend of the senator
informed him OF his danger. Hence
the resignation. THE TRIBUNE will
now bury the check with its usual
monthly surplus on the 3lst inst.
a few weeks ago, when pressed for
copy, we ground out small item, illus
trating the tricks OF punctuation. We
have since seen the article in at least
forty Idaho exchanges, the only one of
which gave it credit was the Mountain
Home Range and Valley, and it cred
tied it to the ShoshOne Journal. Now
we don't care-in fact we feel battered
and we sincerely trust all editors who
can't write locals of their own will help
themselves to whatever they fancy
from THE TRIBUNE columns. They
will always find something there.
We have been beating the sage brush
FOR some time in an effort to scare up
some kind of strawberry yarn as 4

Messrs. Fowler, Hand and Arnett
are surveying the ditch known as the
High Line, for the Caldwell Real
Estate Il Water Company. This is a
most important piece of work and will
be of great benefit to Caldwell, should

long and covers several thousand acres
of the finest sage brush land in Idaho.
tributary to this place. Mr.. Sebree
informs us that the stockholders of the
company have practically agreed to the
building, but no formal action has yet
been taken. save in ordering the survey
and obtaining estimates.
And now j. r. De Lamar has resigned
as Worlds Fair commissioner for
Idaho, giving as his reason that the
English stockholders in his mine were
occupying all his time. Alright. The
walls sent up by some papers over the
event are absurd and nOnsensical and
impeach the intelligence of the state.
De Lamar would have made a good
record, but Idaho is full Of men who
can do just as good. The idea of
ldaho's exhibit depending on one man!
If that is the case we had better retire
early while our credit is good and save
that $4,000. It is to be regretted that
De Lamar resigned after starting the
work, but as he has it should excite no
unusual comment. Let the governor
appoint some good man to the vacancy,
and the big wheel will not slip a cog.

at Washington for the snug sum of
$4,000 with good chances OF getting
it. Before the new legislation last
winter about $4,000 of the claim had
heen passed upon by the Secretary of
the Interior and an appropriation for
the amount recommended. The law
of last winter transferred this class of
business from tho Interior to the Court
Of Claims. thus DELAYING pavmeut. Mr..
Newland's claim is for stock destroyed
