A special train carrying 200 delegates
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, which convenes at Portland,
oregon, May 18th, will pass through
Caldwell next Tuesday and take dinner
at the Commercial hotel at this place
Here is a chance to do little good
advertising for Caldwell. Why not
give them regular western reception?
The past and present" supper
given by the ladies of the Methodist
Church last Wednesday evening was
as successful as it was novel. On
either side of the church table was
spread, one side bearing an old fash
Toned supper, the other side bearing
a more modern repast. The costumes
of the walters at each table carried out
the idea of past and and present. The
receipts were about $40.
James Gwinn and wife returned
from pleasant visit to friends in Cald-
well Monday. While the visit was
pleasant, the return trip was far from
it, The roads were in q horrible condi-
ton and the party came by private
conveyance. When about one mile the
other side Of the Reynolds creek sum-
nit the horses gave out and Mr.. and
, Mrs. Gwinn were compelled to walk to
Bonneville, q distance of four miles
| through mud and slush which
to draw it mild was ankle
deep. Mrs. Gwinn was nearly exhaust
ed when she reached the station but
had sufficient pluck to ride five miles
farther in rig, which Jim teleponed
to this place for, and arrived here late
in the evening, extremely tired. While
absent, it was a continuous round of
pleasure, the event being the celebra-
ton of st. Johns day by the l: o. o. F.,
and Mr.. Gwinn says had he not danced
and Toasted so much he could have
stood the trip. through the mud with
much better grace.-De Lamar Nugget.
Mr.. E. J. Harness, famiiarly known
as "Old Shrubs" came in from Salt
Lake City last Thursday. Mr.. Harness
is the irrepressible tree man who made
his headquarters in Caldwell some
three years ago, and is known by
every man, woman, child and dog who
were residents OF Boise valley at that
time. He bears the proud distinction
of being the only man on earth who
could make Pat Devers lay down when
it came to "horse laugh" and whom
he opens his mouth and emits the
, raging torrents within, the very hills
reverberate. Harness also knows how
to sell trees. He has an interest in the
Utah Nursery and sells exclusively for
that corporation. He is high up in the
A. F. L. Society and has other pre-emi-
nent qualities. He came up to visit
the Caldwell Bachelor Club, of which
was an honored member, but finds
Jim Apperson, Hank Dorman and
Alex Hoover the only members who
have remained faithful to that once
powerful institution. Circumstances
over which he has no control will pre-
vent him from joining the Happy
: Fathers.
Mr.. c. r. Shaw, of the Central Lum-
Der Co., of Caldwell, has been very
active man in these parts for several
years. In addition to the extensive
interests of his company's business, he
spent several years in promoting
the Mountain Home Irrigation and
Townsits company. During recent
conversation, he spoke in a modest
way, but with evident pride of what
had been accomplished at that promis-
ing town of Elmore county. 81 con-
sider," said Mr.. Shaw, shat the people
interested there are making the first
fair test of the reservoir system in
Idaho. 1t took several years to get the
enterprise started, but now what Noun
tain Home has already done will be
repeated there, and at other points in
in the state perhaps, on still larger
scale. 1t means great deal for Idaho"
"What about North & South road,
Mr.. Shawn" was the question asked.
1T would be big thing" was tho
answer. "The Lumber company, of
which am a member; would invest at
least $4,000 in such project that
would give us connection by rail with
our large saw mills at Emmett. Be-
