TENTH YEAR

County Superintendent jenkins SAYS
the reports of the school census mar
sinai of the various districts are nearly
all in. He estimates that Canyon
county will hive 1900 children Of
school age aud that they will draw
about 81 SO, per capita, from the school
ionu. one-third of the school money
IS divided equally between the 28ls dis
tricts, while two-thirds is divided pc,
capita. acquisitions for books, under
the new law, are not yet all in. The
superintendent will, however, forward
all that has been handed in, in q few
days.
Frank j. Smith and DR.. w. C. Stalker
have homesteads near Caldwell. upon
which they have erected cabin and
sleep there, making the place their
home in compliance with the law.
Their business, of course, compels them
to be in town during the day. The
other evening, upon reaching the cabin,
they found that some one had taken a
fancy to their bedding and other per-
sonal effects, and completely looted the
house. A man by the name of Ken
nedy was sent to the penitentiary ut
the last term of Canyon county court
for similar offense, and we hope the
party who did this stealing will be sent
! to keen him comnanv
An old man by the name OF Ohio l..
Williams was arrested and brought be-
fore Judge Galloway last Wednesday
on charge Of stealing horses, pre-
ferred by the foreman of the Stoddart
ranch. The facts seem to be that viii
liams gave DR.. Stoddart ten head Of
nurses for certain medical treatment to
be performed, and they were branded
and turned into the farm herd. The
DR.. then employed Williams to herd
the band, but It seems as though he re.
pented his bargain and taking the ten
head, formerly his property, he left the
rest Of the band to shift for themselves,
and vamoosed. The Judge bound him
over in the sum of 600 to await the
action of the grand jury Failing 10
furnish bonds he was taken to the
county jail. Lot L. Feltham appeared
for the prosecution.
The Idaho Press Association seems
to be in hard luck. 1t has made sew
eral efforts for existence but has un-
fortunately always been the tail of some
other more important meeting When it
was decided to meet at ketchum this
year the members congratulated them
selves that at last they would have
press meeting pure and simple. But
alas! Gov. Mcconnell has forced y
state silver convention ON them. OF
course it will be the same old thing.
Matters pertaining to shop" will be
completely overshadowed by the i'm
portance of silver. Press Associations
mixed up with other subjects never
did and never will amount to anything.
Which remark reminds us that the
present organization had its start at y
republican state convention and its
second meeting was kind of an ad.
| junct to the Idaho legislature. 1t be-
gins to look as though Idaho editors
would have to 60 to Alaska to hold .
convention Of their own.
! Deputy Clerk Little received letter
this week from Kansas parties iuquir-
, ing about the advantages of this place
, for cannery. Mr.. Little answered the
! communication personally and also
, sent them last weeks TRIBUNE

ducements this country offers to an es
Establishment of that kind. The parties
, writing stated that they desired to To-
cate in some country where irrigation,
was practiced, SO as to be sure of their
product. Where they were crops had
