of Emmett, We're in town several days
this week.
--(iwinn has just receive full line
OF 2-ply and 3-ply carpets and invites
inspection. Also stair carpets.
We learn that Mrs. NJ. Potts haa
been quite sick the past week. Her
friends will be anxious to learn of her
recovery.
The Baptist Sunday School enjoyed
picnic at the Curtis grove, near Cald-
well, last Tuesday. They report very
enjoyable time.
Bob Altman was in from his
ranch on Willow creek OH Thursday.
lie tells some pretty tough stories on
the Caldwell nimrods who were up his
way recently, but owing to their good
character and reputation at home, we
will not repeat them. They had bet ter
Elk" Bob, though.
AT last the DE Lamar ore is coming
to Caldwell for shipment, and all
freight for those great mines is con-
signed to this point. This is one of
the results of the new Wilson creek
road. Several wagon loads of ore have
already arrived and it keeps coming
every day. There have been no favors
shown Caldwell in this business. and
every point we have gained was won
ny good hard work and rustic. Capt.
Hummer is too much Of Il business
man and conservative manager to
allow anything like prejudice or per-
sonal preference to control his actions.
The best, cheapest and most reliable
service will get his patronage, no mat
ter where it goes. 1t is u question of
cold, hard business.
Have your eyes fitted properly with
spectacles or eyeglasses. Moe carries
the largest stock in town.
The Mountain Home Ball club
picked up three professional players
and then boldly challenged Caldwell to
play from 800 to 800 a side, they also
reserving the right to draw players
from Glenn's Ferry. Manager Chas.
II. Reed went to Mountain Home last
sunday, accepted the challenge as writ.
zen and wanted to put up $50 forfeit
IN the spot. The Mountain Home and
ilenn's Ferry sports weakened and
when urged to put up, took water
straight. Reed then challenged them
% play for any sum from 800 up to
81 600 side, but it was not accepted.
Next day Mr.. Reed received another
to play for $500. with three
" fonr strings to it. We have not
earned what what was done with tho
asst crack, but suppose it was ignored.
The columns Of The TRIBUNE are to
'aluable to play base ball in, and that
the way they want to play. Again.
caldwell worked too hard for her
lOnOrs to allow an unknown club to
'ain prominence by entering into a
controversy with it. When the Noun
ain Home boys get through blowing
md want to play ball, they can have u
anne for from 800 to g, 200 cold, with |
20 strings to it.
NThere is something peculiar about |
his alkali soil Of Caldwell. About
vice month tho Nampa papers pro-
lain to the world that nothing will
row here, and if you We're to take the
ord of the average Nampa citizen, a
reen spot in Caldwell would he us rare
5 land boomer in heaven. Yet Cald-
ell has more growing fruit and forest
'ees and lawns than any city in Idaho
inside of the capital. &Seeing is be-
ewing, but we have even more conclu-
We evidence of the protluctivenesso of
aldwell soil than seeing. Twice every
eek the Chinese gardeners of Caldwell
ad up their wagons and take vegeta-
les and produce to Nampa, which they
eddie out to the vegetable hungry
tizens of that unfortunate place. So
'eat has become the demand up there
lat the supply Of customers at this
ACE is threatened. We frankly admit
mt Nampa soil will produce it properly
but the humor comes in
