The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-04-29
80 wAR ooNTRovE:.sY.

TIE TRIBUNE, while in itself ut
terly unworthy serious notice,
suggests that there may be those
unaeaaainted with the origin Of.
the controversy and the excuse
for the Signals frenzy. When
John w. Jones Of Blackfoot was
appointed Lieutenant Colonel Of
the Idaho Battalion, THE TRIB-
UNE remarked that "Col. Jones is
sixty years of age and withal a
man of delicate physique, For
active military service he is utter
ly incapacitated.' Further than
that we made no criticism which
could by any stretch be construed
as a reflection on Col. Jones. We
did, however, criticise Governor
Steunenberg for making what
seemed to us an improper and
injudicious appointment. We
stated there could be no justiica-
ton for it except that the Colonel
had attained rank in the Confed-.
crate army. We were quite sat-.
isfed, however, there were pollt-
iicat reasons. Nothing more was
said on the subject, until letters
began to come home from the
Philippines after the battle of
Manila A letter written BY one
of the Idaho boys to his brother
in San Francisco, said that the
Idaho boys were prevented from
participating in the battle Of Ma
Mia because when the order came
for them to go to the fron,, their
colonel was down on the beach
gathering shells, A number Of
letters, all conveying substantially
the same information reached
Idaho. The Malad Enterprise
published one without signature,
because the editor happened TO
know that in a court martial pro-
ceeding a private would not stand
much show no matter what the
truth might be. Along about
this time came letters squarely
accusing Major Higgins Of cow
ardice, and we have seen them in
black and white over the sigma
lures Of men whose word will not
be questioned even by such ram
pant Democrats as the Weiser
SigRal If the occasion arise
those letters will be in evidence.
Next, George Steunenberg, then
lieutenant, now captain, of the
Idaho volunteers, at public as
semblage of his company, accused
Higgins of Cowardice, and here
the matter rests. For the present,
THE TRIBUNE prefers to believe
in the Idaho privates and inferior
officers, who could hardly have
had any purpose in maligning
their superior officer, to believing
the officer who has every incen-
tive for striving to exonerate him
self. 1t may be reasonable in
us, we may be what the Signal
bullishly calls a "paltroon" and
we may be all Hatred and
Spleen" but, all the same, we are
going to believe in the Idaho
boys in the ranks-the boys be-
hind the guns-until something
more tangible is offered, than
anything which has yet appeared,
to prove them liars and calumni-
ators. Now, in respect to Col.
Jones, his presence in this State
today proves absolutely the only
charge we ever made against
him. He came home because he
was physically incapacitated for
active military service. We ney-
er charged him with gathering
up shells" but Idaho boys who
were there did, and we believe

With a Steady Tone.
Local Transportations Make Ad-
vances With Good Dealings.
Granger and Pacific Railway Shares
Fairly Active and Steady-suEar
Q Notable Exception.

New York, May 3.-The stock market
opened with the trading In moderate VOL
ume and showing a generally steady tone.
Sugar refining in a decline of over two
points, was the most notable exception to
the general tendency of prices.
All the stocks founded on the steel and
iron industry were particularly strong.
American steel and Wire notably. on re-
ports Of the amalgamation Of these COM
panies into one great corporation.
The local transportation of stocks all
opened active and substantially higher with
fairly large dealings in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, Manhattan. and Metropolitan
Street Railway. So far as could be learned
from general discussion the Ford franchise
bill was no longer regarded as a menace to
these stocks. The trading was fairly active
in the granger shares and in the Pacifics
all of which we're steady.
The London market was reported strong,
but the actual price changes were limited.
Berlin was said to be buyer OF Canadian
Pacific and Northern Pacific.
Notwithstanding the outbreak of the
fight between the gas companies there was
not much trading in those stocks and Con-
solidated Gas was steady at yesterdays
prices. There was no particular news over
night although a good effect followed the
announcement that three-quarters OF the
Spanish indemnity had already been re-
mitted in Europe and placed to the credit
of the Spanish government.
After the initial dealings the market be-
came quiet and irregular

permanent locators appeared. They are
scattered, he says, over considerable
frontage of the island and mainland.
Wherever several were located near each
other provision was made fer streets.
Each locator was required to attend to the
police, etc, of his premises. Many fail
ures have been reported among the build
ers OF small river steamboats, Lieutenant
Walker states that many of these appeared
there with poor quality OF machinery.
and after building their boats could not
develop power sufficient to run the boats.
Others came with machinery that had new
er been put together. He says in addition
that the public should realize that in COM
ing to Alaska a place is reached where
such things cannot be obtained or replac-
ed without great loss Of time and expense.
In addition to this many come with no
properly certified masters or engineers and
those had great difficulty in clearing from
the port. There was no dock establish
ment during the summer A place was
selected near the n. A. T. & T. Co.. and
dock will probably be ready for use this
season. He says that the troops are well
supplied with clothing except fur gloves
and also remarks that good library is al
so needed for the troops.

Jim Jeffries at Coney Island on May 26
Accompanied by Yank Kenny and Dan
Hickey he went into his quarters at Bath
Beach yesterday and this morning began
work in earnest. The leisurely way in
which Fitzsimmons went about selecting
his training quarters shows that he has
lost none Of his old confidence in himself
but he does not propose to let himself off
easily in the matter Of training He will
spar steadily with Kenny, but will devote
the greater part of his time to perfectipg
his wind. Fitzsimmons has fitted up a
gymnasium near his quarters and will
work there, but his main work will be
road running and bicycle riding.

his men to remain idle long, has under
