upon the crane for week |
at time while we were enjoying the !
blessings OF fast mail train. Some
times we got two mails week out of |
town but that was streak of good
luck that could not strike often. But
it made exciting times that old catch
er pouch swaying in the morning
breezes. People swore at it, dogs
barked at it and cows tried to climb
the pole and eat it, while trains swept
swiftly by and made feeble attempts to
catch it. Life is hardly worth living
any more.
The county commissioners have
ordered the Caldwell road supervisor
to retloor the wagon bridge at the can
yOn. The heavy traffic from Emmett
this season has necessitated these re-
pairs.
The ball game at Caldwell Sunday
was a rafting one. We were up there
but did not get to see it, as that item
in The TRIBUNE, with its underlying
vein of sarcasm, caused such Il storm OF
foolish questions to assail us on all
sides that we were driven out of town
heat broken before the game came off.
|-Weiser Signal.
Spaulding, of the Statesman, and
Jack Boyakin. of the Democrat, were
in town this week rustling for the
journals above named. The coming
winter bids fair to be hard one in
Boise, and the newspaper bees are lay
ing in a good supply of honey. Our
people, with their usual liberality, un-
doubleday helped them out.
The TRIBUNE seldom boasts, but it
is justly proud of it's correspondents.
Bright letters from Parma, Star, EN-
NETT and Falk's Store appear this
issue, and two or three from other
points arrived too late for publication
this week. Correspondents should re-
member that letters received later
than Thursday morning stand poor
show of insertion.
The large platforms at the Forward
ing house are completely covered with
tons and tons of machinery for De
Lamar, and freighters are being loaded
as fast as they arrive. We should
judge that it is no small job to freight
some of those large castings fifty miles
on wagons, when they look big and
heavy enough to crush a freight car.
Rev. Cyrus P. Good, of Iowa, arrived
in Caldwell this week. and will take
charge of the NJ. E. flock at this place,
vice Rev. Kay, resigned, who couldn't
stand the pressure of the wild and
woody west. We can assure Rev.
Good that there is plenty of work to do
in his line, and after he becomes accus-
toned to the ways of the people it will
not be unpleasant.
Mr.. E. =. JUNIOR, one of the Succor
| creek sheep men who are required to
pay taxes on the same property both in
Idado and Oregon, was in town last
Monday. He had just returned from
Boise City, where he entered procsed-
ing against the assessor of Owyhee
county to recover taxes paid on sheep
which were taxed in Oregon. There is
no doubt but that under the present law
sheep near the border which Craze in
both states are subject to double taxa
ton. The sheep men of Succor creek
have combined and will fight the law
The Presbyterian society will give
ments for which the Society is noted
next Thursday evening at the Presby.
terrain church. 1t is called Millinery
Sociable and is conducted as follows
Each young lady takes an untrimmed
hat and material for. trimming, and
the gentlemen are to trim tho hats in
a given time. Judges are appointed
who pass upon the merits Of each
hat. Ice cream will be served during
the evening. Everybody come and see
the man milliners work. Admission
free.
! Rain.making is not entirely u novelty
nor is the theory indigenous to thu
brain of Melbourne or Senator Farwell
In India, HindOO fakirs have long bee,
accustomed to secure rain by human
Intervention. Farwell's method is b,
means of heavy explosions in the air
Melbourne's method is unknown, ant
the HindoO's method is as follows
The fakir hangs himself by the feet t.
a turning. pole. a rope is then attached
to him and he is swung violently tt
; and fro, in the meantime calculating
fragmentary prayars. This prOceedin.
is supposed to exert an occult intluencl
upon the valves controlling tho rail-
supply. If either Farwell or Mel
bourne cares to give the method per
, sonal test. they can find plenty of PEG
pie in Caldwell willing to pull the rope

James Lusk,. county commissioners
have been making tour of the county
the past week: as q board of appraiser
for the school land selected to be sOlt
