EXCELLENT TALENT SHOWN
CONumbiaNs Again Victorious in the
Literary COntest-GettiOg to
Be a HABIT With Them.

The sixth annual contest between
the Lowell and Columbian Literary
societies of the College of Idaho,
took place last Friday night at the
assembly hall of the college.
The hall was decorated in a very
pleasing manner with the colors OF
the contending societies and the
national colors.
President w. J. Boone presided,
and the Caldwell orchestra dis
coursed delightful music.
About 400 people witnessed the
contest. The judges for the occa-
sion were, on the manuscripts, J. c.
Rice, Miss Cora Bean, L. S. Ollie;
on delivery, c. E. Helman, Frank
J. Smith and w. A. Stone. Fol-
lowing is the program:
March, with Iron Hand" Or
chestra; prayer, Rev. Boone; Gala
gazuar'' orchestra; essays, "What
Many Men Desire" Maysel Cooper;
Sunlight from Mt. Olympus"
Maybel Dement,. Waltz, "Sym-
phia," orchestra. Debate, ERE
solved, That Cooperation Promotes
the Virtue and Happiness of Man
kind more than does Competition"
Affirmative, Willard Franks; mega
tive, Pearl Keller. Two-step, "Blaze
Away" Orchestra. Orations, "The
Passing of the Boer," Edward
Clemens; "The Hague Tribunal"
Albert Christensen. Gavotte, eel
amor" orchestra. Declarations,
Engineer Connor's Son." Bertha
Masterson; "King Robert of Sicily"
Della Myers. Galop, 1.-The PAGER"
orchestra.
At the conclusion, the President
announced that the Columbian lit
erary society had again won the
contest, making three successive
victories for that society.
Everybody was we'll pleased with
the result of the contest. The con-
testants were at their best and did
honor to the occasion, and to the
training received at the college,
the result was close, the societies
tying on ersay and oration, the Co.
lumbians winning the debate and
defamation
One pleasing feature of the con-
test was the number of Middleton
people attending. Both the de-
Chalmers were young people of that
place. And the people up there
have every reason to feel proud of
their representatives at the College
Of Idaho, and the product of their
city.
We have not the time or the
space, had we the ability, to do JUS
tice to the several productions. Ali
handled their subjects with the ease
and grace Of veterans. We repre-
sent the sentiment of the people of
this place when we say we are
proud of the product of the College
of Idaho.

Wells Representatives.
the Old Timers up.

The Statesman of last Saturday
contained an interesting communi-
cation purporting to tell some things
about Caldwell. The purpose of
the article was to proclaim the en-
ergy and enterprise of some two
year-old striplings, and animadvert
on the apathy and general no-ac-
countedness of the older members
OF the community. For the edifca-
tion of those who had not the
pleasure OF seeing the original COM
munication, we present the follow
ing extract:
"a couple Of years ago some new
comers settled in here and soon
made stir. First they organized
a fair, and many of the old moss
backs began to wake up, and after
rubbing their eyes. which had be-
come bleared by their long Van
Wrinkle repose, they predicted dire
things for these adventures, who
had disturbed their peaceful slum-
bers, but we had fair, and then
another, and the prospect is better
than ever for one this year.
Then the pioneer irrigation dis
trict soon followed, and little later
some of them began to build lean
tos to some of their old shacks.
Last year quite a number of new
structures were built, among them
one of the finest churches in town.
We now have five churches regu-
larly occupied, and in addition to
this have had church in the court
house every week day since Janu-
ary IS.
We also had an electric light
plant and water system put in last
year. This year we have a large
fireproof warehouse nearly com
pleted, and large brick block we'll
under way. Another will be COM
menced as soon as spring is fairly
opened"
The people of Caldwell would be
delighted to know who the "new-
corners" are that caused such a
commotion. They ought to display
some sign or signal light by which
they could be identified. 1t is really
too bad that these nervous two year
old plungers should have been stir
ring up the very bowels of things
for two long years and the commu-
nifty at large remain in ignorance
of their identity. They organized
the fair association. Probably they
did. The record shows that some
rather coltish work was done in
that connection. But, to be accur-
ate, they organized a fair associa.
ton, not tie fair association. And
in six months their fair association
was a financial wreck-a bowling
wilderness of debt and desolation
Sebree held the grounds, Cowden
held the buildings, exhibitors en-
titled to premiums held the sack
the Superintendent and Secretary
held high carnival, while the presi-
dent, a real old mossbackr good and
true. held his tongue and his breath
in terror of the ruin which the two,
year olds had wrought. That fail
association did make a stir, but few
men having regard for the reputa
ton of Caldwell exhibit any anxi.
ETY. to have their names conspicu-
ously identified with it. It is toe
fresh yet. When century or two
shall have rolled by, and the evils
inferred with the remains of that
two-year old enterprise shall have
passed through decay and worms to
primal elements, and naught re-
mains but a delicate reminiscent

TO the welfare and upbuilding Of
this place. It would have direct
and beneficial influence on property
valuations in every part Of town,
and would give an added air of
progress and stability that at this
time is much to he desired. >

fragrance of the good, posteiity
may whisper to the generations un-
born. "our great grandfathers were
responsible for the shaking up
which Caldwell got through the or
ganization and sudden collapse of
the first Canyon County fair associ-
alton" When the two-year olds
got through with it the fair associa-
ton was some $4,000 in debt and
hadn't an asset worth the price of a
gin fzz. Then came the throes of
reconstruction. and when it came to
lifting the debt, the two-year old
agitators vanished like mist before
the morning sun. They didn't
have energy enough to even grunt.
The business of lifting had to be
done by the mossbacks, Walt Sc
bree, Egleston, Cowden, Tom Little,
Redway, Dee, Campbell, Horn,
Doan, Foote, Frank Smith, Fahy,
Picard and Roberts, Russell Smith,
and the rest of the substantial old
standbys. The two-year-o1ds re-
lapsed into innocuous deseuetude,
and their repose remains unbroken.
And they lay claim to the organi-
zation of the Pioneer Irrigation
District. They had just as much
to do with that as the next lunar
eclipse. That work was begun
back in 1897, not by two year olds
but by such mossbacks as T. G..
Egleston, Dan Campbell, Frank
Smith, Ed Hedden, John T. Morri-
son, Chris Fahy and others of the
same class. They did the work;
they put up the money while the
two-year olds slept profoundly in
the womb of futurity. Then there
is the electric light enterprise.
Who is responsible for that? The
two-year o1ds? Not on your life.
That monument to the spirit and
enterprise of Caldwell was builded
by mossback-Walt Sebree-an
old timer, one of the alleged Van
Winkle sleepers. And what have
bubbling, squirting, stirring two
year-olds done? The ear of Cald-
we'll is bent in eager attention, but
no answer comes back save an
empty echo and rippling, nit, nit,
nit.
1t is good to have newcomers in
Our midst. They are entitled to
and always receive hearty welcome.
They should be encouraged t. take
an active part in all the affairs and
undertakings which make for pro-
gress and civilization. They should
and will receive due credit for every
good they do; but their disposition
to sneer at the older members of the
community is anything but credita-
bic to them. 1t is at once amusing
and disgusting to hear the airy,
lightweight newcomer dilate scorn-
fully on the mossbacks, when we
all know that his entire stock of
energy and enterprise consists of
hot air. But this noisy, bubbling,
volatile creature often serves a use
full purpose. He directs attention
to the good works which the sub
stantial elements of the community
have accomplished. For this let
us try to be grateful, and, in char
ity, forgive the newcomers conceits.
After a while the fermentation in
them will exhaust itself and they
will settle down into solid, worthy
and really valuable citizens. In
other words become mossbacks.

comment from all the states in

critics as the strongest program
they have ever given, and the COM
