BROOM FACTORY
A DEAD SURE GO

The International Manufacture
ing Company of Caldwell filed ar
ticles Of incorporation with the Sec
retary of State Thursday. The
capital stock is $40, 900, fully paid
up. The directors of the company
are c. T. Howard, John F. Groome,
James H. Merritt, A. K. Stunen-
berg and W. c. Stalker, all of Cald-
well. The purpose of the Company
is to manufacture brooms, mattresses
brushes, etc. AS previously an
nounced in THE TRIBUNE Caldwell
will have a broom factory. The
conditions here are exceptionally
favorable to such an enterprise.
The climate is ideal and the soil is
suitable. In speaking with a re-
preventative of THE TRIBUNE Mr..
c. T. Howard, an experienced
broom corn grower and manufacture
er says; Broom Corn can be easily
grown in this section. The aver.
age crop is I-3 of ton per acre and
the present market price is S15o,
per ton with tendency to grow
higher. The finest quality with the
least labor should be the result of
broom corn culture in the Boise
Valley Messrs Howard, Merritt
and Groome have been very active
in interesting Caldwell people in
this industry. The new company
should received every encourage
ment from the business men of
Caldwell. The factory will employ
between IS and 20 men, besides
giving the farmers a new crop.
Diversity of crops is an excellent
thing for the farming community
any where. 1t is the intention of
the promoters to enlarge the plant
as rapidly as possible. Besides
brooms, woolen and hair mattresses,
hair and corn brushes will also be
made.

the geological features of the coun-
try deny the possibilities of running
a traction engine between either of
these towns and Pearl. On. the
other hand the road from Pearl to
Caldwell is a gradual grade
enough fall to really help the en-.
gine draw its heavy load of ore. A
good, substantial road now exists
and it is the intention of Mr.. Hay
ward to better the road as rapidly
as conditions warrant and dema nd.
1t is proposed to deliver the ores at
a point just below the railroad
bridge, as it would be too costly to
construct bridge across the Boise
river especially for this traffic. This
move should receive every encour-
agement at the hands of the people
Of Caldwell. There is along the
proposed lines large and growing
farming community, besides a rich
section. There is a great
country tributary to the line, which
Immediately becomes tributary to
Caldwell.

WILL Do THE
RIGHT THING

On the 9th instant the people of
the Pioneer Irrigation District will
say whether or not they think best
to complete The irrigation system
they have undertaken. Every ef-
fort has been made to apprise them
of the exact status of affairs in the
District, and it would seem that
there is no just cause for blaming
anything or anybody. It has trans
plred that the cost is somewhat
greater than the original estimates,
but that is not to b. wondered at.
The change Of conditions between
1899 and 1903 sufficiently accounts
for the difference Work on the
canals has not progressed as rapid,
ly as all earnestly hoped it would,
but it may be said that it is now on
the home stretch.
When we come to look about us
and ind people paying SIS per acre
TOR water right, it seems that the
people of the Pioneer Irrigation
system have much cause for self
congratulations when they get the
same thing for eight or nine dollars.
And moreover, when this system is
completed it will be one of the verv
best in the country.
1t is to be believed that the peo-
pie OF the District will do the thing
On the ninth that is wise and profit
able.

Big Gains.

An evidence of the growth of a
town is clearly and Enthusiastically
shown by the receipts at the post
Office and the railroad Office. A
year ago last February the receipts
at the railroad Office were in round
numbers $1,000 while last month
the receipts were $4,000, an i'm
crease of over. 100 per cent. The
receipts at the post Office for Feb
ruary, 1903, were $378.55, while
those for February 1904 were S4o4.
g., an increase of a little over 28
per cent. This is good showing.
It should be borne in mind that
February is not an extraordinary
month. Usually one would not ex-
pect to find much of a gain. The
month of January showed an in
crease in business at the post Office
of 80 per cent and December an
equally large gain. The business
of the town in other lines make as
good a showing.

The report of the sale was a great
surprise to the people of Caldwell.
