The State Horticultural Society met
at Nampa Wednesday and Thursday OF
this week and had an interesting ses-
sion. It was we'll attended. One of
the features was fine display OF fruits
and farm products raised on the lands
contiguous to Nampa. The merchants
up there did neat thing which was
no doubt greatly appreciated by the
farmers. They offered prizes for the
best exhibits of fruits and farm prod
ucts. Those in attendance from Cald-
well were, Mayor and Mrs. Little, Rev.
Il. NJ. Gwinn and Hon A. E. GIBSON.
We notice by the Spokane papers
that A. E. GipsOn. of this place, Score.
tary of the State horticultural Society
and editor Of the Gem State Rural.
will furnish for the Spokane Industrial
Exposition an exhibit OF Southern
Idaho fruits. The exposition mana
gers are looking forward to this exh,b-
it with keen interest, as this will be
the first time In the expOsitiOn's his-
tory that Southern Idaho has been rep
resented. Mr.. Gipson shows a COM
mendable public spirit and energy and
we hope our people will lend him all
possible assistance to the end that our
exhibit shall be the best.
John Kimsey, the 1s.year-old boy Of
James Kimsey, was painfully injured
in Highland Valley ,SThursday by the
bursting of shot gun. He was
brought to Boise Friday for treatment.
1t was found that the sight Of one
eye was destroyed. and it is feared the
boy will lose his other eye. He was
taken yesterday to his mothers. who is
iu Caldwell. The boy was handling
the gun. having it close to his face
when one Of the cartridge exploded
shattering the gun. 1t was a miracle
that the boy was not blown to pieces
Ills face was laceratad, but he sustain
ed no serious injury beyond the loss
of his eye.-StGtaSmGn.
Tho way the Caldwell base ball club
treated the Nampa "Unkuowns" was
simply shameful. They coaxed them
down here and then didn't do thing
to theN but run up a score Of "a to 9.
The Caldwell team was: Sebree, pitch
er; brennan, catcher; Beatty, first base;
W. Kelleher, 2nd base; J. Kelleher, Sd
base; Dunbar, S. s.; Harris, F. f.; Nc
Kee, C. f.; Dee, /, +. James Boone act
ed as umpire and did well as is evil
denced by the score. a good umpire
is half the game and Caldwell had the
umpire. The "Unknowns" did we'll
considering the fact that they were
bucking a dead hard game with the
champion amatuer nine of Idaho
against them.
E. ]. Smith of Long Valley was in
Caldwell Wednesday and while here
called upon THE TRIBUNE. He re-
ports everything up there as being
prosperous. More settlers have come
into the valley this season than have
come in the past five years all put to-
gether, and they are all good people;
He said they were mostly Finlanders.
Besides, capital is coming into the
country and opening up the mines and
preparing to take care of the timber.
Politically, he says, the valley is grow
ing Republican, and next election will
see Long Valley In the Republican
camp. The farmers crops have done
nicely, and altogether that part OF
Boise county has little to complain Of
The commissioners last Monday lev.
led an assessment for State and county
purposes of $3.50 on the every 800 Of
the assessed valuation. The Record
saws the assessment last year for the
same purpose was 1915, that being the
case, it seems to us the taxes will be
about 20 cents on the 800 OF the as
sessed valuation more this year thar
last year. This may not be very much
to the individual, but in the aggregate
it means S6,32862 more money to be
raised and the man. on the outside

more about this kind of "rigid ecOno.
