COMING TO CALDWELL.
Some Immigrants From Southeastern idsho-Ths
Beginning Of Steady Flow.

The Malad Enterprise says: "John
M. Nicholas and family. Rees Jones,
Hiram Davis and David Leigh and
family will leave soon for Caldwell,
Idaho. where they expect to locate per-
manently. Success to you, may you
live long and prosper"
In addition to the foregoing, we
learn by private letter that 2 number
of other parties contemplate coming
here in the near future with view to
settlement. We believe that this is
just the beginning of an extensive and
desirable influx of people from other
portions of the state. Knowing the
south eastern part of the state, we do
not hesitate to tell all those who desire
change of location that they can do no
better than come here. There are ex-
cellent opportunities here for indus
trious and intelligent people. 1t will
always be pleasure of the TRIBUNE to
welcome the class of people which are
likely to come out of Oneida county
and in our efforts to induce them to
come here there is nothing mercenary
or selfish. If we did not believe that
they could better themselves, we would
frankly tell them so. They must come
with determination to work and
struggle for few years, and not ex-
pecting to find everything ready to
their hands. On the other hand, we
desire to give notice that when those
strangers do come they ought to be
treated white" Any attempt to gouge
them, misrepresent, or otherwise take
advantage of them will only give the
country blackeye. Those people are
honest, and Woodworking and they
come here TO develop and build up the
country. Let those prosper who now
come, and many more will follow.
Remember that every acre of ground
brought under cultivation in this
county adds to the value of every other
acre; every home makes every other
home more desirable. Ten acres Of
improved land on field adds to the
value of the whole hundred and sixty.
Sell half your land to some one who
will cultivate it and Immediately the
unsold half is of as much value as was
the whole. These are facts it will pay
to study. But remember this: When
good people come to Canyon county to
settle, treat them white.

REDUCTIONS IN OFFICIALS SALARIES.

Mr.. DooKERY EXPLAINS WHY THE HOUSE CUT
DOWN ITEMS IN THE LEGISLATIVE BILL.
Washington, March 11.-Representativc Dockery' OF
Missouri makes the following explanation OF the
"docked' salaries OF assistant secretaries, etc., III
the appropriation bill for next fiscal year:
"when came to frame the Legislative bill we
found that number OF the Department officials were
by law as their salaries. For instance. when Mr.
HIT was appointed Assistant Secretary OF State.
81 900 was added the salary Of the pac' without
warrant Of law but In response TO the direct re
quest OF Mr.. Blaine.
When Mr.. Hit left the Department, the salary,
which had been raised to $500 was not cut down.
We restored It to It's legal figure, $500. Then II
number of chief clerks Of the Departments, notably
the War Department. were having $2,7j0 appropri-
ated their salaries. instead Of H., 900 authorized
BIZ law. There other cases. including the
solicitor OF the Treasury, and in each instance
reduced the salary to the proper figure. In only three
cases did we make exceptions one was the Pension
Commissioner VINO Is not legally entitled 10 5000
a year, but thought, In View Of the immense
amount Of work and res possibility attaching to the
place. the figure should not be reduced. The other
two the Commissioner Of the Land Office
and the Public Irinter for both Of whom appr0-
priated the amount they receiving and not the
amount authorized b. law.
When the bill was passed. by the Senate found
that all the figures had been raised, but when II
considered I'm conference. the House cOnfcrTccs
cOnferrees yielded That Is ali there Is to the story
There secrecy about II, for the Senators were
fully Of what the House Committee had done
and what the House had agreed tor
