The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1891-08-22

Boise City's electric street railway
will be put in operation today.
G. l.. Cole visited Boise City and
Mountain Home this week.
Mountain Home and Nampa will
play ball at the former place tomorrow.
The air is full of base ball rumOrs
1t is quite probable that some good
games will be played in the near future.
You can't half appreciate Cald-
wells street sprinkler until you make
visit to town where they have none.
Who is wise! lie that learns from
everyone. Who is powerful! He that
governs his passions. Who will be
rich! They that save money by buying
their dry goods, boots and shoes, etc.,
at Cakes Bros.
Caldwell is the home of freaks.
Not long since The TRIBUNE dis
covered a man who never asked lis this
hot enough for you," and last Wednes-
day reporter found a man seventy
years Of age who was not a crack bali
player in his younger days. We are
now earnestly seeking for a man who
never was devil" in a printing Office
at some stage in his life.
The Baker City Reveille says:
While the Union Pacific have spent
over $1,000 in prospecting the Butter
creek coal fields, they appear to still
have faith that coal in paying quaint
ties still exists in that section. A new
force of men have again been employed
by the company who are now at work
on Butter creek, some distance from
the former scene Of action. They have
discovered Finch vein of superior
coal, and are sanguine that further
developments will bring to light the
existence Of greater quantities.
Reed, Rice, Thorp, Smithson, Dun
bar, kelleher and Turkey returned from
the mountains last Sunday. They
went to Payette lakes, and had a good
time if hard travelling over mountain
roads ten days and four days in camp
can be called good time. Contrary to
all expectations the party brought no
bear or deer home, and their friends
who were expecting to eat venison and
bear steak this week are somewhat dis
appointed. This is easily accounted
for, however, and when the facts are
known, all hard feelings will disappear
and the boysheld up as shining examples
as law-abiding citizens. Some vulgar
minds will jump at the conclusion that
there were no hunters in the party, but
this merely shows the narrow minds of
some people. 1t was not lack of
ability that the party returned empty
handed, but superior knowledge of
the law. Reed and Rice, both being
lawyers, called the attention of the
baser minds to the fact that it is un-
lawful to kill deer in Idaho until Sep
TENDER, and thereby undoubtedly SAVE
the lives of countless numbers Of deer.
And bear-well, that's different.
The bali game ON Sunday between
the Caldwell and Nampa mines resulted
in victory for the latter, the score
standing 30 to 20 in favor of Nampa.
As the score shows it was very poor
game throughout. and hardly worth tho
name of base ball. Owing to sickness
and absence from the city the regular
Caldwell nine did not play, Judge
Beatty being the only one of the orig
inal club that was in the game. This,
however, does not detract from Man,
pas victory. They came down to play
the best Caldwell had and if We did not
have our men there it was not their
fault. They beat the men pitted
against them and are entitled to all the
glory of victory. What we can do
and what we did are different things.
and it does not lessen Caldwell's defeat
any to tell what we could have done
had our best players been here. The
game between Caldwell and Nampa
now stands one "a h and the rubh r
will have to be ll.yed to settle the
question. There can be no denying
the facs that Sundays game was very
poor ball. The Nampa boys are big,
husky, athletic young fellows, and with
practice they will play iirst-c,ass
game, but in THE TRlBuNE's humble
opinion they will not be in it at all when
they face our legitimate players. Il
