The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1891-09-12
LOCAL NOTES.

Wardlng Co., is expecting more ore and
concentrates from Flint every day.
The blacksmiths of Caldwell and
Nampa have entered into a pool and
agreed to do no work on over thirty
days time.
DR.. Stalker will be doing dental work
in Emmett from the 10th to the 2lst of
this month, hence his office at this
place will be closed.
A Chinese convict at the penitentiary
cut his throat with a razor, with sui
cidal intent, last Wednesday. He is at
present in a critical condition,
Fletcher Lovejoy was in town last
Tuesday and when he left for home
was entirely sober. There is nothing
unusual about this, but items are
scarce.
Great improvements have been made
on the Boise Daily Stateman in the
past month, and it is now typograph-
ical beauty-such as becmoes the lead
ing paper of great state.
Dan Campbell will have the finest
livery. barn in Southern Idaho when
completed. 1t is large, commodious
and will be reckoned among Caldwells
substantial improvements for 1891.
The fire apparatus is now in place
and yet we hear of no organization to
operate it. The best results cannot be
obtained without organization. Is it
possible Caldwell cannot raise fire
company?
While bathing in Boise river last
Tuesday, Louis Ervine, an old and
respected citizen of Boise City, was
drowned. He was buried by the Odd
Fellows, being member of that order.
He leaves no family.
TIE TRIBUNE is indebted to Geo,
Osmond, of Salt Lake City, represent
ing Dunn's Commercial Agency. for
call last Wednesday. IT we don't get
good rating now it will be because the
stool OF honor will not bring it.
The command of Capt. Dorman re-
turned from the mountains last Satur-
day evening, without the loss of a ''sin.
gle" person. They made the grave old
hills merry for a couple of weeks and
return feeling better for their interview
with Dame Nature.
Dave Weir, the best looking man in
Jordan Valley, was in town this week.
We have a special artist after him and
it he succeeds in getting shot at his
mug, we will print his. picture at the
head of this column. Dave can then
sympathize with Hon. Geo. Ainslie.
If you want to see splendid cellar
go and look at the completed walls of
the Forwarding Company's new build
ing. 1t is 5Ox1OO, completely walled
with lava rock and is both pretty and
substantial. The carpenters are now
laying the joist on the first floor and
the bricklayers will 60 to work as soon
as the wood work is ready for them.
1t has now leaked out that convicts
in the Idaho penitentiary, when not
getting out contract rock at fifty cents
per day, spend the time in prize fights,
and the officials act as referee and
bottle holders. It will take more than
very obscure letter from Gen. Roberts
to explain some things regarding the
"pen," when the time for explanation
comes.
AS will be seen in the Council pro.
ceedings the town now has a Board Of
Health consisting of DIR. w. c. Maxey,
Judge Beatty and w. w. Dryden. The
gentlemen are fully competent and we
trust they will take prompt measures
to suppress contagious diseases of all
kinds where they show their heads. A
little precaution may save many pre-
cious lives.
Two cars of machinery, 45, 900 pounds
for DE Lamar, arrived in Caldwell this
week. This is but the first installment
of much more which is to follow. Also
one car load of blue stone for the Same
place. We wish the railroad company
would rescind their order forbiddiug
the publication of business done ut
stations. We would like to publish
some startling figures.
We are completely 'knocked out"
We have told great many stories re-
garding the prOductiveness of Alkali
Flat, and some of them somewhat hurt
our conscience after seeing them in
print, for fear our eyes had not adjudged
Alright. But hereafter we will tell any
thing without Il twinge and without
blush. Mr.. Hiram SaxtOn brought into
the sanctum last Thursday q potato
raised ON Reuben COx's place, which
deserves a page in history. 1t is q
single tuber, u inches in circumference
one way and II the other and weighs
81 pounds on Uncle Sans postonice
scales. THE TRIBUNE feels that it can
now pull through hard winter and
have potato to sell in the spring.
