The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-12-03

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
On the goth day of December, the
Caldwell Hose company will give a
dance at the Pacific hotel. The notice
IN last weeks paper that it would occur
Friday of this week was erroneous
The boys will spare neither time nor
money to make this ball the best of the
season, and ask you all to come out
and enjoy yourselves.
Before Ada county was divided
there were twelve postoffices in the
county. Now there are two in Ada
county and ten in Canyon county.
Ihere were five towns in old Ada: now
there is one in Ada and four in Canyon.
People that predict higher taxes since
we cut loose from Boise have not
thought much of the matter.
Jake Horn and Judge Young were
down from Nampa last Saturday. just
before Mr.. Horn takes the assessment
OF Caldwell next April, we would sug-
gest that he turn back to the files of
the Leader and read some of his utter
ances regarding the value of Caldwell's
"alkali dirt" Being man of honor
ne will stay by his record and will
assess Caldwell business and residence
lots at about twenty cents each. It's
an i'll wind that blows nobody good.
First blood for Canyon county. The
question of division came squarely be-
fore the district court at Boise this
week. Twelve mon summoned on the
grand jury resided in the county of
Canyon, and Judge Nugent, in spite of
the protests of Boise City attorneys
that no such county as Canyon existed
under the law, dismissed them. They
were Messrs. Boone, Moss, Stewart,
Holbrook, CLANCY. Bernard, began,
Gwinn, Wilkerson, Plowhead Shipley
and Wall.
H. w. Dorian and Miss Ida Frost
attended the marriage of John Beatty,
Jr. and Miss George Winters, at HALEY,
Tuesday, November 20. John Beatty,
Jr. is travelling man and well known
in our town. The wedding was a very
swell affair; the gifts were numerous
and some very costly, among them an
onyx clock valued at $4O0. Henry and
Ida were glad to get back to our sunny
climate after spending several days in
the snow at Kethcum, Bellevue and
HALEY visiting friends.
t. H. Galloway. F.. L. Keller and
TRIBUNE the big started last Tuesday
for the Owyhee hills on a deer hunt.
Galloway and Keller went to shoot the
game, and the "Big" wentlto be able to
do a good job of accurate lying about
it when they get back. The skeleton
has been promised supply Of venison
for the winter, but we haven't thrown
away any of our pumpkins on the
strength of the promise. If they don't
get deer it will be tho fault Of the comet.
Mr.. Frank d. Schermerhorn Idaho's
geologist for the Worlds Fair exhibit,
spent last Sunday and Monday in Cald-
well, and being an old Iowa friend of
THE TRIBUNE, occupied the stool of
honor in this shop consi derable Of
the time. He says Idahos exhibit
is progressing finely. We took
occasion to ask Mr.. s. about some Of
those remarkable discoveries going
the rounds Of the press attributed
to him and were informed that
considerable Of 1t originated in the pro-
life brain Of newspaper m en-. He says
the glaciers in the north are straight
goods" but the story Of that petriied
forest in Custer county is to say the
least exaggerated.
THE TRIBUNE printed the court cal
endar this week in and for Ada county.
Court convened last Monday with two
criminal cases and 10 civil cases on
the docket. There are twenty.one
actions for divorce, which fact shows
that either Idaho climate Is not con-
ducive TO connubial bliss or we are
wrestling from Dakota her laurels as
. divorce machine. There are thirty
six actions for debt, and still we have
people who stand up and say moro
money would ruin the country. The
fifty-three cases are lnsolv-
ency, foreclosure Of mortgage, recovery
OF personal property, etc. Probably
one-third of the calander is from Can
yon county and whether or not they
will be tried in LudGa NnQAnt's C0nrt
