Boise Statesman.
The CALDWELL TRIBUNE of Satur-
day copies the Statesman's article con-
corning the use that should be made of
the railroads right-of-way between this
city and Caldwell. The Statesman
urged the building of an electric rail-
way over this right-of-way, and THE
TRIBUNE indorses it and gives good
solid reasons for its position.
Itmay be claimed that The TRIBUNE
is influenced by the advantages which |
such a road would be to its town; but |
granting this, it in no wise detracts
from the value of the reasons given.

thing that will conduce to its own
growth and prosperity. This is natural

in seeing her own advantages and in
adopting whatever enterprise will for.

The approach to Boise from Caldwell

dollars annually to the city. Coming
by tho present travelled route passen-

tiful oasis which excites their wonder
and admiration it is true, but if their
stay be short, they have to take what is
told them of the marvellous beauty and
fertility of the charming valley. But
the approach from Caldwell through
the valley would leave nothing to be
told nor would anything be left unen-
joyed.
The enterprise is good one from
whatever point it may he viewed and
could not fail to pay the investors hand.
somely from the beginning.
Let us have the Boise and Caldwell
electric railway. Boise and Caldwell
and the intervening section of the val
ley can build it easily, and thus add a
means and source of growth and pros,
perity which in no other way can be
acquired with so little outlay.
