not want to conflict with celebra-
tions of other towns neither did
he want to take so early date
that it would crowd us to get ready
for it after the Fair. The Omaha
management wanted to have mel
on day and Colorado day on the
same date. He had agreed to that
provided we were given the chief
place in the advertising. The
principal object in going to Oma-
ha was to advertise our goods. He
had been in Omaha Texas day and
they did not have a car load of
melons and cantaloupes together.
The exposition manager had said
to him that he supposed Rocky
Ford would send three or four
cars, and was surprised when in
formed that we intended to send
25 cars.
The fixing of the date was re-
ferred to the president with power
to act.
Frank Crowley reported
that Holly had over 300 acres in
cantaloupes and they were look
ing fine. They have a contract
with Wetzel. Lamar also had
about 800 acres in good condition.
Sec. Matthews read the bids
for wagon springs from Elling-
wood & Hauck and Bomgardner
& O'Neil of La Junta. The
prices ranged from "a to &c.
J. H. Crowley spoke of the
value of having springs on the
wagons. He claims that since he
has had them put on. his wagons
he had. saved the price of them
every week. In hauling peaches
and berries to town before having
the springs the most careful driv-
ing could not prevent them from
being bruised. Now they could
travel much faster and the fruit
would be in first-class condition
when it was unloaded.
Upon canvas being made 25 per-
sons were reported who desired
springs. Any others who want
them would do well to inform Sec.
retary Wallace of the fact.
Manager Ed. Swink stated that
he could furnish the regular size
10 ounce wagon sheets for $3.
Mr.. Wallace then told of the
formation Of the hail insurance
company. The policies would
pay $50 an acre instead of x25.
The premium was n - order on
the secretary Of the association
and about IL cents cash. The ex-
ira cent was on account OF the war
revenue tax. He said that quite
number who had signed the pre-
liminary agreement had not yet
taken out their policies.

GRAND VALLEY.

The Fourth of July celebration
held at Best's Grove was largely
attended and a good time enjoyed
by all. A program consisted OF
addresses by VIM. Warren and
Mr.. Longacre, recitation by Cora
Burke and several patriotic songs.
Mr.. Little's stand seemed to be
well patronized. Several couple
were out from town but made
somewhat of short stay, although
were gladly welcomed. Patriot
ism was shown largely by the
Grand valley citizens during the
entire day.
Quite a number of our young
people attedned the dance at Fair
mount and report good time.

last Wednesday looking after his
cattle.

Hicks July Weather Pre-
dictions.

We name Monday to Wednes-
day, the 18th to 2Otli, and Satur-
day to Monday, the 23rd to 25th,
as central dates, about which the
most threatening disturbances are
most probable. During all this
part of July many black clouds
will arise, some sections will get
showers of rain and hail, but emp
ty bluster, with stiff gales and
wind, will be the rule in most
parts of the country. A general
rise of barometer will bring west
erly winds and change to cooler
weather about the end of the Mer-
curry and Venus periods-say
about the 25th to 2Sth.

was lost when switching was be-
ing done. The advantage in load.
ing cars would be great.
NJ. Badger moved that the San
ta Fe's proposition be accepted,
the $3.50 to be paid by the Rocky
Ford shippers in proportion to the
amounts shipped.
A. B. Wallis said that the asso-
citation did not have the legal au-
thority to assess this expense on
the Rocky Ford shippers only,
that it must be assessed on the en-.
tire membership. The expense
might properly come out Of the Z
per cent.
VIM. Matthews said TINT every
shipper would be willing to pay
his share of the $3.50 even if not
legally bound to do SO. Many
times last summer he saw 50 men
in line who would have given 81
each for the privilege Of unload
ing and going home.
Henry Dickes said the platform
would be paying investment by
reason of shortening the time Of
waiting to unload. Mr.. Wallis
view was correct but other ship.
ping points might not see it in
that light and he preferred that
Rocky Ford pay all the expense.
The decision was that the Rocky
Ford shippers pay for the labor OF
building the platform.
At the opening of the afternoon
session President Swink stated
that although the board Of direc.
tors thought they had made ample
arrangements for crates they
wanted all who could possibly af.
ford to do 30 to order and pay fol
as many crates as they could, to
obviate all danger of a shortage
during the shipping season. II
the individual members could moi
tell how many they would need
during the season, the board Ger.
tainly could not tell how many
crates the entire association would
need.
Another question, the president
said, was the date for Melon Day
at the Omaha exposition. The
management of the Fair had giver
us several dates but the only ones
that we could use were Sept. 6,
and Q. He said he understood
that Grand junction had decided
on the 9th for peach day. 1t ma!
make no difference to us or tc
Omaha when peach day occurs
but we have always felt nggrievet
when other towns of the state have
had celebrations on our melon da,
and it was reasonable to suppose
that Grand Junction would no,
like it il We took their day for oui
celebration in Omaha. The Santa
Fe had agreed to haul all the mel.
ons we wanted to send free OF
charge and would furnish spec.
ial train for that purpose. AS fa,
us the date was concerned we did

The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-03-12
HEYsuRN's sPEEoH.

THE TRIBUNE this week pub
fishes in full the speech delivered
by w. B. Hepburn Esq, at a
public meeting in Boise the 4th
of this month. 1t is plain,
straightforward statement of facts
and conditions; it appeals to the
commonsense of common men and
women. There isn't a word of
buncombe or jingoism in it. And
what is yet more noticeable and
commendable, is the entire abb
sense of bitterness or anything cal
culated to give offense. 1t is so diff
ferent and SO immeasurably super
Tor to the usual political harangue
that it can be read with interest
and profit by every man and
woman in the land, irrespective
of political creed. There is no
attempt at rhetorical effect, the
subject is not smothered beneath
a wildness of verbal ornamen-
tation or obscured and degraded
vulgar fustian, but, in short, a
plain and digni6ed argument.
We urge that it be carefully read
and considered.
