The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-03-26

There is an idea prevalent that under
the Australian ballot law no one can
be voted for unless ON the printed
ticket. This is mistake. A voter
can write any name he chooses on a
ticket, whether the person be nomi-
nee or not.
Geo. Hill has a dog which jumps
through a half pane window rather
than go to the door when he sees an &C.
quaintance outside. A physician was
called to sew the peices together-of
the dog we mean. Alex Hoover and
Clark Stiles were called to attend to
/ the glass.
An extract from letter written by
/ Capt. j. r. De Lamar was shown us
this week, wherein he states that he
received call from Ira s. Allen, at his
rooms in Washington. Mr.. Allen
wished to tap the Captains commodi-
! GUS sack" for a few thousand dollars,
but as De Lamar reads the Avalanche
and Nugget he did not bite. The way
of the trangressor is hard.-Silver City
! Avalanche.
Dan Levan, of the Idaho Bottling
Works, is of an inventive turn of mind.
There are certain kinds of bottles
which, owing to the nature of the cork,
have to be washed by hand. BY neat
continuance Dan has overcome this
difficulty, and washes them by machin-
cry. 1t is not only great help to their
own business, but may prove an idea
that there's millions in."
The NJ. B. Gwinn Mercantile Co.'S
opening last Monday was a great sue
cess. Their immense stock was very
tastefully arranged. They have the
goods to show and they know how to
show them. Mr.. Little says they in
tend to give the people of Caldwell
everything they want in the way of
dry goods and at such prices that mail
orders to Chicago will be thing of the
past. 1t will be great thing for this
country when Montgomery Wards cat
alogues are used for lighting fires
One of the neatest and most complete
lumber offices, including sheds, in the
state is just being completed for the
Central Lumber Co. The Office itselfis
fine building, facing two streets, with
corner door, surrounded by wide
comfortable veranda. The interior
wood work will be finished in hard OIL
and large, old fashioned fire place in
one corner will add cheerfulness to the
really attractive Office. The place is
assuming such an air of comfort that
it seems to bad to deSecrate it for hard
business purposes. 1t would make
such an ideal loafing place! No loafing
goes there, however, for the enterprising
proprietors intend keeping things NOV
ing whether they want to move
or not. Back of the office is an exten.
sion for storing doors, sash, moulding,
etc, very conveniently arranged, and
still the idea of economizing space is
kept prominently forward.
Commissioner Wells, in his speech at
Caldwell, made the statement that his
predecessor had wasted year of valua
BILE time and accomplished nothing.
He is right. 1t was right there that
De Lamar lost his grip with the people
of Idaho. He had the bill put through
the legislature Just to suit him, as it
was arranged that he should be CON-
missioner before it passed. He then
spent II valuable years time in making
cracks about how much he would
donate and what he intended to do,
aud when it became necessary to do
something, he resigned with flourish of
trumpets and blaze of glory. Up to
this time De Lamar had tho support
and confidence of the entire state, but
his resignation showed his insincerity.
He was trying to advertise De Lamar
instead Of the state. We hold that no
man had n right to accept the position
and waste a year of valuable time,
already too short, and when action be-
came necessary, resign. Nearly every
paper in Idaho has made unkind and
sighting remarks about the senator's |
recent Washington splurge. They were
prompted from a feeling that he had |
betrayed the state and forsaken sacred |
trust to shine in circle of Washington |
