was first projected half dozen Cald
well men took hold of the proposition.
They spent their time and money in
advancing the enterprise. Mr.. Egles-
ton drove over the country day after
day urging the farmers to take hold
The most that they would do, and that
often requireda great deal of presua-
sion, was to sign petition. Mr.. He'd
den donated his service to make sur
veys and maps. Messrs Morrison,
Smith and Rice assisted with legal
advice and work in making up the nee
essary papers and seeing to it that
everything was in lawful order. Mr..
Chris Fahy was active and gave his
time freely as also did Mr.. Shaw. An
executive committee was formed.
There was necessarily some expense in
the employment of men and teams to
assist the surveyor. The committee
was obliged to raise money. 1t Dor
rowed from Mr.. Fahy, vino kindly
loaned 1t without interest. Eventually
that money had to be repaid and it was.
flour memory serves us correctly, T.
G. EglestoD, Jno. T. Morrison. Frank
j. Smith, g. r. Shaw, Chris Fahy and
possibly the writer had to dig up that
money. Not one of these are farmers.
There was printing and publishing
done to q considerable extent, as re-
quired by law. Itwas all donated. No
farmer spent cent or an hours time
assisting to promote the organization
and after all the preliminary work had
been done, all the expenses paid, the
farmers elected members of the board
of directors were not sufficiently inter
ested to even qualify. These are the
facts in connection with the birth and
untimely death of the Caldwell Irriga.
ton District Whether or not the dis
trict will be recognized remains to be
seen. THE TRIBUNE sincerely hopes
1t will and is ready to lend any
assistance in its power to the pro-
motion of that end. But we want to
inform the farmers who would be bene.
fitted, that they must take hold Of the
proposition ii anything is to be accom-
plished. Outside of the farmers, others
are only indirectly interested. In a
general way all classes are anxious to
see the country forge ahead and prosper.
We are all concerned to have the farm
ers do well, butmen have to be uncom-
monty public spirited and philanthropic
to continue indefinitely working for an
object which will impose on themselves
direct burden and promises, at best,
but indirect reward. The farmers
should now take the lead in the prac
tical application of irrigation laws.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1897-01-16

1t might not be out of place to suggest
that banks may, and often do, render
themselves culpable. In a case, now
somewhat notorious, the president of
the Moscow National Bank was indict-
ed by the grand jury on the charge that
he had gone on the county treasurer's
bond with the understanding that a
portion of the cOunty's funds should be
deposited in his bank. In this instance,
the bank official was less culpable than
is usually the case, as, unasked the prop
osition came from the county treasurer
and the president of the bank merely
acquiesced in it. The court, we be-
lieve, held the bank official in meas
ure Culpable even under such extenuat-
ing circumstance, and he only managed
to escape conviction and punishment
by finally proving that the county's
funds were at all times kept in separ-
ate bag and did not form any part of
the banks assets. This case estab-
fishes that, in law, any bank or concern
which in any way schemes for, or even
solicits, the handling of public funds is
regarded as an accomplish aud equally
guilty with the treasurer who places
such funds on general deposit for
consideration. On this subject, 1t may
be we'll to apprise the county commits
sioners that they have an imperative
duty to perform. They are the general
guardians of the county's interests and
affairs. They have been given extern
sive powers and are expected to exer-
else them. They are fully authorized
to investigate exhaustively the condi-
ton and management of every county
Office. If they fail, they are chargeable
with, at least, seriously wanting in
fealty to the trust in them reposed. 1t
is their business and duty to ascertain
in what manner the county's exchequer
is being managed. 1t is their bounden
duty to know that at all times the pub
lie money is where the proper officers
can put their hands on it. They do
not know what moment something
may happen to the county treasurer
and they will be required to take
charge of the public funds temporarily.
Therefore, they should make frequent
demands on the county treasurer to
produce the money entrusted to him
and give positive assurance that no il
legal disposition of it is being made.

SCIENTIFICALLY REVIEWED.

The unseating of two of Senator Du-
bois' supporters by the allied legislative
forces of Populism and Democracy is
one of the most poignantly lamentable
and portentOus incidents of contempor-
aneous politics. 1t prognosticates dis.
aster to the great movement for the
restoration of the money of the Consti-
tuition and mOrtally threatens the pros.
poets of Democratic future" The
news of this sinister business will
shake the continent, and the violence
of its perturbatiOns may cause the
most drastic seismic disturbances, in.
Guiding colickycondition of the earth's
bowels. THE TRIBUNE had hoped and,
secretly, almost prayed that this par
ticular evil would not befall; but it did.
We had carefully prepared horoscope,
and while there were portentous indi
cations, there was nothing in the heav-
ems to justify expectation of a calamity
of such dimensions. 1t is enough to
shake ones faith in the verities of the
universe. In order that the public
may understand how utterly unlocked
for, from scientific point, this occur
renee was we may be pardOned for re-.
ferring to our private forecast. Janu-
airy opened with Saturn and Uranus
about to enter rare conjunction, which
eliminated in right conjunction on the
sixth. This BODIED i'll to Spain, Hun.
gary, Turkey and Morocco, but did not
hit the United States except Obliquely.
The only evil pOrtent in the situation
of the planets, effecting this country,
was the fact that Mars was in the sign
of Gemini and forcibly occupying the
seventh house at the moment of the
new moon. We interpreted this as
meaning nothing more than a proba.
bility of war with Spain. 1t did not
augur anything approaching the stu.
pendous disaster it is our painful duty
to chronicle. 1t did not even hint that
Mr. Dubois name might so soon in.
Ogy. The most surprising thing, how
ever, is that the readings of Senator
Dubois private planlspnere were ex.
ceptiOnally favorable. He was born at
3 minutes of 4, standard time, May go,
1851, as indicated by a hairy mole on
the small of his back. In his natal
month of the present year, Mercury is
strong in Gemini and Venus is strong
in Taurus and in triune aspect with
Jupiter and Virgo. A more suspicious
aspect of the heavens could scarcely
occur, and this encourages the belief,
and hope, that in the tide of the Sena.
tors affairs there is likely to be a turn.
1t cannot be denied that the hebetudin-
Osity of the lower house of the Idaho
legislature has somewhat bedimmed
The prospect, but our faith in the heaV.
ans, supplemented by a mole with cap
llary environment, is steadfast.

GONE no THE ASYLUM.

An incident with a deep touch of
pathOs is recorded in the IdadO World
of last Tuesday. 1t is as follows: "a
lady attendant from the insane asylum
at BlackfOot arrived here last Thursday
night in private conveyance and left
next morning with Mrs. Frank Miller,
She sent word to Mrs. Miller a short
time after her arrival that she would
leave next morning with her for the
asylum. 1t was feared that Mrs. Miller
could not be induced to submit, and
that force would have to be employed,
her insanity at times taking the form
of violence. When told that she was
insane and would have to 90 to the
asylum, she protested, saying that she
was sane and would not go, but Friday
morning when the lady from the asylum
talked with her and explained her con.
dition, and that irforder to recover she
must go and receive medical treatment
at the asylum, Mrs. Miller was perfect
ly calm and walked with the attendant
down the street where the team was
awaiting them. 1t is earnestly hoped
and believed that before very long she
will entirely recover"
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1897-01-16
ANOTHER WARNING.

The recent pardoning of II. B. Hall
ex treasurer of Shoshone county, who
was convicted and sent to the peniten-
tiary for misappropriatiOn of public
funds, and the involvement of the Ell
more county funds in a bank failure,
leads The TRIBUNE to again caution
county treasurers with respect to the
law relating to the safe. keeping Of
public money entrusted to their care.
They should understand clearly, con.
tinually and emphatically that when
they place such funds in bank on other
than special deposit, they are guilty of
crime, punishable by heavy penalties.
