RURAL CARRIERS
GET PAY RAISED
HOUSE STOOD BY THEM.
1T FINED THEIR SALARY AT $3.50
A YEAR.

Carriers Are Prohibited From So
Letting Business, But Are Permit
ted to Garry Merchandise for Hire.
Baker of New York Was "CnlIeo
Down" Just as He Was Having an
Amendment Rejecting Upon the
President Read-What Little Was
Heard Was Interesting Enough.
Washington, March 25.-The House
to-day passed the postoffice appropria-
ton bill after a prolonged debate on
the paragraph affecting rural letter
carriers, which yesterday broke out,
but which to-day was inserted under
a special order of the Committee on
Rules. Every amendment and sub
stitute offered 30 this paragraph was
voted down.
While a number of members were
clamoring for recognition to offer
amendments, Mr.. Overstreet suddenly
moved that all debate close and the
bill' be reported and put upon its pas
sage, which was carried with a vim.
Mr.. Moon made an unsuccessful at
tempt to recommit the bill with in
structions to strike out the appropria-
tions for special facilities over trunk
lines south of Washington and west of
Kansas City. His motion was voted
down, 121 to ia.
The provision relating to rural car
riers as adopted makes the salary $500
a year and prohibits the soliciting of
business by carriers, but permits the
carriers, under certain restrictions, to
carry merchandise for hire.
A provision for a purchasing agent
for the Postoffice Department, with
salary of $4,000 was adopted unani-
mously. Mr.. Williams said the office
of purchasing agent centralizes re-
sponsibility and makes one purchasing
agent responsible for the purchase of
supplies and for the honesty and pro-
priety with which it is done.
To Reimburse Railroads.
Mr.. Baker of New York proposed an
amendment, which the clerk began
reading. as follows:
ITO reimburse the great railroads
the cost of supplying the President of
the United States with special trains,
cigars, wines"
The reading was stopped by point
cf order. which was sustained.
Mr. Pou of North Carolina accused
the Republicans of legislating in the
interest of the automobile trust" in
establishing rural routes only where
there were good roads.
The House adjourned until to-mor-
row.

Colorado. He is a very afable
gentleman to meet and will, no
doubt continue to increase the mag
nifcent business built up by Mr..
Cowden. Mr.. Andrews is very fa-

He thinks that the town has a
bright future before it. The eli
mate is delightful, the soil produc-
tive and with these advantages the
people are prosperous. The town
having such a solid foundation is
bound to grow. THE TRIBUNE

community will be treated right in
dealing with the Central Lumber

CAUSE OF FIGHT
ON HEPBURN

When w. B. Hepburn was elect
ed Senator in Congress, it was
natural that the majority of the
Republicans in Canyon County
should be disappointed. They had
been for W. E. Borah and had made
up their minds that he would be the
choice OF the legislature. 1t was
noticeable that the closer men were
to Mr.. Borah, the surer they were of
his election. Up to the very last
moment, Mr.. Borah's managers
were practically certain of victory,
and went into caucus with supreme
confidence, although the atmosphere
was charged with the rumor that
the Standrod and Shoup forces had
gone to Hepburn. In consequence
of this state of mind in the Borah
camp, the nomination of Mr.. Hey
burn was a stunning blow to all of
Mr.. Borah's friends, and to relieve
their own stress of mind and, at the
same time, furnish some excuse for
their ignorance of the situation,
some of them began charging cor
ruptiou. 1t will be remembered
that, while everything was fresh,
the principal charge was that money
in great quantities had been used,
and nothing, said some of Borah's S
friends, could have defeated him
but wholesale bribery of members
of the legislature. AS time passed,
that charge, having no foundation
in fact, and having grown feeble in
the service, was quietly dropped
and cheerfu]ly forgotten. Then
came the effort of the Boise States
man to dictate appointments, and
the Mormon church was dragged
onto the stage.
When Mr.. Hepburn received the
Republican caucus nomination, there
was not to be heard a whisper ol
Mormon interference. 1t was well
known then and there that major
ity of the Mormon members of the
caucus had voted for Mr.. BorahD
This charge of Mormon church in
reference was an after thought. II
was brought out as substitute for
the original charge of money cor
ruption, which died of general de-
bility. Republican members of the
Senatorial caucus, who supported
Mr.. Borah loyalty to the end, were

OF the state and is well pleased with
the country. He has a-2o acre
farm across the river and it is all
Under cultivation. He, like the
other farmers, has found alfalfa to
De the most profitable crop under
the present conditions, although he
raises little grain. Mr.. Walker
believes it is better to farm a small
farm well than to half cultivate a
large farm. We are pleased to
state that he is doing so nicely.
Another of the old timers is Mr..
K. M. Smith, who lives couple of
miles down the river. Mr.. Smith
came here from Kentucky some 20
years ago. He took up an 80 acre
farm and has made all the improve
ments that are now on his well cul.
tlvated place. The entire 50 acres
IS under cultivation. Alfalfa and
timothy are the principle crops.
Idaho beats Kentucky in Mr..
Smiths opinion, who having lived
IN both states, and possessing an
observing eye knows. What mere
needs he said. One of the best
ranches in this section is the old
Bixby place now owned by Henry c
Jones who came here from low a
about the first of the year. Mr..
Jones believes in thorough cu1tiva-
ton of the soil. His health was
not good in the east and a dry
climate was recommended. For
this reason the month of March
was discouraging but April was
much better. Mr.. Jones likes this
country but of course could not say
much having been here but a short
time. He says that many other
people from his section are think
ing of locating in Idaho. We are
always pleased to have men OF his
kind settle here.

Besides taxes, the saloon of Caldwell
pay into the city treasury $1,000 year Ii
cense money, and $1,000 year to the
school fund of this district. The license
paid into the city treasury pays the salar-
les of marshal and night watch. and that
to the public school pays the salaries of
two teachers during a whole school year.
If it were not for the rakeoff from the sa-
looms we good people would have to dig up
a little more tax money, and if it were not
for the fact that some people will drink to
excess and some of the loafers it harbors,
the saloons would be considered as respec-
table institutions as ice cream parlors and
soda resorts.

SEN. HEPBURN
SPEAKS PLAINLY
Is no QuibbIing Aboot His
Communication

United States Senate Washing
ton, D. G. April IL 1904. Idaho
Daily Statesman, Boise Idaho,
Dear Sir-Again in your editorial
columns of April 9TH, you repeat
the untrue statements in a former
editorial to which T. called your at.
tention, in that you charge that I
prevented the Senate Committee
from getting at the evidence in the
"Woolley" case. This is untrue and
the statement was either made in
utter ignorance of the fact or is a
willful lie.
You say further in your editorial
that the record was in the Treasury
Department and that the committee
intended to send for it, and that
when I found such was the intent
ton of the Committee I interposed
objection and was so insistent upon
my demand that the record be not
looked into that the COMMITTEES
yielded. This statement is a lie.
AS I before wrote you I never ap-
peared before the committee. I
was spoken to by the chairman OF
the Committee in regard to the
case and I urged upon him that the
entire record at the Treasury De-
partment be examined. If you
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-04-23

wish to verify this statement you
had better communicate with Hon.
N. w. Aldrich, United States Sena-
tor from Rhode Island, who is
Chairman of the Committee on
Finance in the Senate. He will tell
you that your statement is untrue
in every particular. You cannot
find Senator or Member of the
Committee on Finance who was
spoken to or approached by me
with reference to not sending for
the record or not examining it at
the Treasury Department; but I as
sure you that an examination of
this question will only emphasize
my statement that your editorial is
lie from beginning to end without
the slightest justification, and is
evidently made in malicious and
desperate attempt to cover up your
own dirty tracks in the matter.
There never was time when I did
not insist upon seeing all papers
connected with the "Woolley" case
AMI in having every other person
interested in or connected with the
matter in any way having full
access to them.
Very Truly Yours.

THE FARMERS
QUITE JUBILANT
Have Faith in Country and
Hopes for Future

the farm hasnot received the atten-
ton among farmers which it is en-
titled to, so we are informed. Mrs.
Frost is making nearly $I.2s per
day from her chickens. She is of
the opinion that gardening would
be very profitable. This farm is
conveniently situated and we'll
adapted for a dairy. Our fertile
soil and delightful climate appeals
strongly to all classes. Mrs. Frost
is one of the most enthusiastic
Idahoans we have ever met.
Mrs. Emma Fowler, who came
here nearly 40 years ago, is watch
ing the growth and development
of the country with pride
and pleasure. She has lived in
eastern states and visited other
western states but she has never
found such an ideal climate as we
have. Mrs. Fowler says that years
ago, great amount of grain was
raised along the river but of late
years alfalfa and timothy are found
to be more profitable. There have
been great changes since Mrs.
Fowler came to this section.
G. w. Walker located here about
a'year ago. He came here from Nez
Perce county, i'll the northern part
