of the city election. Some people are
born great; others achieve greatness:
others have greatness thrust upon
them.
Mr.. j. F. DALEY, of Emmett, was in
town last Saturday, and of course
called at THE TRIBUNE headquarters.
He has been carrying a banner in The
TRIBUNE army for several years and
came to enlist for another twelve
months. He will receive his rations
once a week.
AS the city election approaches states
are being made, combinations formed
and things are assuming lively shape.
For moro reasons than one The
TRIBUNE hopes that all factions will
agree upon ticket and that no gen.
eral contest will be fought at the polls.
The election will be held under the
Australian ballot law.
Rev b. H. Smith, of Long Valley,
the parson of the last legislature, will
begin a series of meetings in the Bap-
fist church at this place, on the 10th
inst. Elder Smith comes in the in
terest of the Christian Church, of
which denomination there are large
number in this section. An organiza-
ton of that belief will doubtless be
completed during his stay.
Several pupils who have been receiv-
ing musical instructions from Mrs.
Mann, gave musicale at the school
house last Monday evening. The
affair was thoroughly enjoyed by those
who attended. Mrs. Mann contem-
plates giving something similar in the
near future, a small admission fee to
charged, and the proceeds to 60 toward
purchasing an organ for the school.
H. X. Hartley sold his Middleton
ranch property this week to Joe Wilson,
of Boise, for $4,000 cash and property
in Boise. Mr.. Hartley is as yet unde-
cided as to his future actions, and it is
the hope of everybody that this section
will not lose him as citizen. Joe
Wilson, the new owner of the Middle
ton ranch, is an energetic and popular
man, served Ada county as sheriff for
four years, and is worthy acquisition
to any community. We welcome him
to the middle valley.
A call at the Idaho Bottling Works
found DR.. Isham and Dan Levan busily
engaged bottling soda and mineral
waters of all kinds, preparing for spring
trade. They have the most extensive
apparatus for this kind of work in the
state and are building up a reputation
and trade all over South Idaho. They
are continually adding new machinery
and increasing their producing facili-
tiles, and are keeping up with the de-
mands of the country and their growing
trade.
Mr.. Coffin and Mr.. Gwinn were both
seen and asked about the railroad talk
now rife in Caldwell, and the talk of
both was, that while all arrangements
had not yet been made, their efforts SO
far exceeded their expectations, and
they have every reason to feel encour-
aged over the prospect of a railroad
into the !Owyhee hills from Caldwell
at an early date. They had nothing
particular to make public because
nothing was yet definitely settled.
They say, however, that the scheme is
on solid business foundation, that is,
If anything Mt all is done. the road will
be completed. They will have nothing
to do with the project unless it can be
carried successfully through, and there
is no danger of II few miles of grade
being built for the purpose of selling
town lots. The outlook is most encour-
aging.
Geo. +. Mahoney, assessor of Gilmore
county, was IN town Monday. George
has considerable grief on his hands.
1t seems as though some valuable
school lands adjoin the Mountain
Home town site, which are soon to be
sold. A corporation which wants
the land is bringing every influence
to bear upon the state board to obtain
from them an order that it shall not be
sold in less than 4O-acre plats, thus
out the poor man and leaving
1t to be bought up by the corporation
at a low figure. Mahoney Immediately
headed a protest, which was numerous.
