Explosion on IL Cruiser,

As stated in yesterdays GAZETTE q
terrible boiler explosion occurred On
the cruiser B%randenburg at Kiel yes
terday and many of the-crew We're
killed and considerable damage was
done to the vessel.
The Br~andenburg had hadnew boilers
placed in her, and had been ordered to
make a trial trip vest. r ay to test them.
The vessel was on this "Trip when the
explosion occurred. tolty'oae
men were instantly killed, and ulne
others were fatally wounded. Among
the dead are three Chief engineers, who
were on the vessel to report on the work
of the boilers, aud several other officers.
Most of the bodies are badly scalded,
in some instances the faces being so
swollen out OF shape as to be unrecog-
nizable.
AS soon as the effects of the ox.'lo:-
ion were known to the officer on the
deck, he caused signals to be. set show
ing that the vessel was helpless. FTvo
steamers went at once to the assistance
of the disabled warship, and, getting
lines TO her, towed her back TO klel.
When she reached port, Prince Henry OF
Prussia. the Emperor's brother, immediately
boarded her, and found that the explosion
had caus4d much damage 70 the vessel.
lIince Her y worked euereeticaly ABOARD
| the Llan lenbuIg. He helped direct the WORK
of rel ewing the wounded, and questioned thu
Sims officers concerning me names and
homes of the dead aud wounded. The steam

CUT OF ONE-TH!RD.

In Difference to hard times and a
desire to place the TRIBUNE in the
hands of every citizen of Canyon
county, it has been thought advls-
able to make a reduction In the
subscription price. Hereafter the
price of the TRIBUNE will be 81 w
per year to Canyon county sub
scribers and $3.50 per year to all
outsiders. Those who have paid IN
advance will have their subscrip-
ton time extended so as to receive
the benefit of reduced rates. Any
who are in arrears may, by settling
accounts up to January lst, 1894,
and renewing for one year, have a
reduction of 25 per cent. on the
old account. The TRIBUNE had
thought of making premium offer
to subscribers, but as nothing could
be offered which would be more
valuable than cash, we felt that
the best offer would be a one-half
reduction and one fourth discount.
We also felt that the price ought to
made particularly low to the peo-
pie of the county and therefore in
verted the general rule which is to
charge outside subscribers less
than those at home. 1t seems to
US that every man in the county
can afford to pay 50 per year for his
county paper The price barely COW
ers cost of paper and composition
and leaves fuel, rent and brains to
be provided for as chance or kind
providence may elect.

danger of explosion to a minimum.
We cordially invite the cooperation
of all we'll meaning people in an
effort to right wrongs OF every char
acter. In a humble way, the
TRIBUNE aims to be an exponent
of the people. With caste and
classification it has no sympathy.
Within the range of it's ability, it
devoutly seeks to add a mite to the
sum of human happiness and
human progress. In its simple,
modest way, it aims to champion
the cause of righteousness and up
hold the name of virtue.

A FRAGMENT.

The MaIad Enterprise seems to
be very tender of the reputation of
Oneida county officials and goes
into spasms at the least reflection.
Well, those reputations-some of
them-are frail, and require deli
cate treatment. However, we are
glad to learn that Sheriff THOMAS
is still regarded as of sound mind,
though outward appearance are
somewhat equivocal. The good
man, it is hoped, will express him
self with greater respect for verac-
ity hereafter and thus avert un-
pleasant suspicious. We sincere
ly hope the Enterprises loyalty
will not seduce it into defending
the Board of county commissioners
for spending $500 in building
mud levy across the fiat In order
that one members fence might be
Strengthened few rods. We hope
it will not mention their auspic-
ious conduct with respect to the
inauguration of the Independent
school and we do most sincerely
pray it will not be tempted to write
a panagyric on Mr.. LAPRAY's politi-
cal evolution. Indeed, there are a
few exquisit regulations down
there and the TRIBUNE feels that il
owes it to humanity to touch them
up little occasionally, just to dis
tinguish them from the BODY Of the
people.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-01-06

twenty years approximates an
hundred thousand dollars of
the realm. Whereas, in equal
space of time, the $4,000 really
expended would reach but twenty
thousand pieces, saving, clear as
day, Of eighty thousand dollars, in
the next twenty years, or four thou
sand dollars per annum. With
svch,a happy prospect in view, the
tenn ptation to 90 step further is
irresistible. Instead of only one
5000 dollar bridge, at least twenty
should have been erected, thus
accomplishing a saving of eighty
thousand dollars per annum. And
as one dollar saved is better than
ten spent, the calculation demon
strates that the profit to the people
would easily reach $S00,O0O a year.
A sum quite sufficient to comfort
ABLY cover all the cost of county
government. One can scarcely
grasp the possible attachments of
bridge building in f. the light OF
mathematics. No doubt, the same
principle will apply to all kinds of
public improvement and private
extravaganza. Thus, thirty years
ago, we purchased ten cent whis-
tie instead of a thousand dollar
pipe organ and can prove that by
so simple a transaction we have
actually made upwards of $16, 1872
o. This stupendious fact never
dawned on US before, and the cash
is not right where we can Law
hand on it, but figures tell no lies
and the profit must be there.

which the TRIBUNE had something
to say a few weeks ago. The
$2,070,000, have been sunk in the
so called Boutwell, irrigating canal.
We believe that the only reason
why the institution is not on
paying basis today is that the
water rates were fixed 90 high that
farmers could not live and pay
them. The fate of the Boutwell,,
in our opinion, is the inevitable
doom of every irrigation scheme in
the country unless radical changes
be made. 1t will be glorious
day in the history of this section.
when canal companies come to
clear realization of the fact that
their enterprises can not succeed
unless the farmers succeed too
Then an effort will be made to
adjust matters to the common ad-
vantage, and CHANGER and capital
list will walk together hand in hand
and call each other blessed.

ALApDlN's BRIDGE.

The Happy New Year has
touched benevolent chords in the
Payette independents heart of
hearts, and it greets the birth Of '94
with anthems of peace on earth
and good will to men. Around If.
sanctum, fancy listens to subdued
harmonies and catches faint ex-
halations of flowers; at it's Preside,
preside the gods of peace and con-
tentment, while cheerful piety
lightens the gloom of the past and
decks the future with religious
promise. These modifying infu-
ences have cast soft, resplendent
halo over it's pages and filed it
with a mellow grace. Even on the
subject of plain, unfeeling, wooden
bridges, it weaves gladstone
romance, and opens up to the
dropping mind visions of prosper
ity that brighten sensibly the sur
rounding despond. 1t says:
"A bridge had be built at Emmett.
There were no lack OF opportunities to
have secured bids on a fine steel bridge
which would have cost about $4,000.
Tnctai6 pf Injnr fhi, flaw hui1f
substantial wOodel bridge for $1,000
Suppose we calculate little just to
show why this was to the best interest
of the tax pay ers The interest on the
$4,000. for ten years. would amount
TO $4,000: add this to the principal
and we have S2S,OOO invested in the
bridge in ten years. In ten years more,
on the same basis Of calculation, and
we have sso6,0 in the bridge
Make the same calculation relative
to cost Of the wooden bridge and in
ten years we have 5000 invested.
Then it will cost $1,000 to renew this
bridge which makes $4,000; in ten
wears more we have $4,000 then So
900 to renew it and we have S21 900 in
the, wooden bridge against $4,000 in
the steel bridge, for the same time
But the Independent only hints
at the munifcent blessings accom-
plished. In the same spirit, the
TRIBUNE has ventured to toy with
the suspicious figures. We all do
know, alas too well, that as the
earth completes its annual course
around old Sol, interest compounds
