Mr.. GEORGE IS
FROM MISSOURI

EDITOR TRIBUNE-At the last
meeting of the Directors of the
Pioneer Irrigation District it was
proposed TO reimburse those who,
here, to fore, and are still getting
water from the Ridenbaugh. Many
of US have been and still are pay
ing on land without water and no
chance to get water from the Rideu-
baugh, a privilege for which we
would have gladly paid SIS per acre.
By what measure Of justice, does the
man who pays for all the water he
needs and gets half that amount,
pay to the man who pays for more
water than he wants and gets all he
needs. 1t would seem those men
were more fortunate than their
nelghbor, who could not get water
by paying any price. This is not
In the spirit of fault finding but I
am from Missouri.

the best and most costly in the city.
It will have all the modern conven.
fences of which Caldwell boasts and
in this respect We are away ahead
of most towns. Mr.. Oakes will lay,
a cement walk in front of his lots
and leading to and from it. Cald-
well is surely growing, not too fast,
but substantially. Those towns
which boom are merely hot house
plants, too frail to stand an early
frost. They collapse at the first
unfavorable turn in the financial
conditions of the country. Caldwell,
has the soil, the climate, the tribu-
tary country, and last and foremost
the people to make this a fine town.
An enterprising lot of business men
sustained Ihy public-spirited and
enthusiastic people can work WON
ders. THE TRIBUNE anticipates
town of $500 people by January I,
1905.

R1DENBAUGH
ORGANIZATION
Carried by an 0VePWhelm.
ing Majority

In the election held last Tuesday
for the organization of an irrigation
district under the Ridenbaugh there
were COZ votes for organization and
,os against it. That indicates not
only and overwhelming favorable
sentiment but the aggregate vote
shows the deep and lively interest
that is taken in irrigation matters
by the people of that section. In
many respects, and in one most i'm
portant respect, the people under
the Ridenbaugh were confronted by
the same conditions which confront
ed the people under the Phyllis and
Caldwell canals. The owners of
the canals had reached a point
where they either would not or
could not enlarge them, and in coz
sequence the agricultural develop
ment of the country had reached
practically its limit and come to a
full stop. Under these circum-

IN THEIR NEW
QUARTERS

The Caldwell Banking and Trust
Company moved into its new quar-
tiers this week. New fixtures and
furniture were purchased and are
now being used. The building was
constructed with a view to the con-
venience of its occupants. The
bank is on the corner, A. Greenlund
occupies the room adjoining and
facing Main street. The Canyon
County Abstract Co. and Herr
Clothing Co. are located in the
rooms facing the Saratoga. The
offices upstairs are very convenient
ly arranged. Attorney Frank ].
Smith is thinking of moving his law
Office to this building and Messrs
Rice and Thompson will also have
Offices in this building. Hart Nor
man is fixing up one of the finest
BARRIERS shops in the State in the
basement. The building is steam
heated and has city water. 1t is a
fine place in every respect, adding
to the attractiveness and stability
of the town.

Governor Morrison is the esp ec-

just now. We trust not a single
Republican in the State of Idaho is
giving aid or comfort to the enemy
in this move. Governor Morrison
is a good Republican-and a loyal
one, too. AS the chief executive
of this mighty young commonwealth
he is the head of the party. He 3

Political Jealousy.

From all that we can see and hear
the opposition which prevails in
certain quarters against the renomi-
nation of Gov. Morrison arises
more from political and personal
jealousy than from any commenda-
Bile spirit. A turning down of Gov.
Morrison's administration by the
nomination of some QUE of the nu-
merous candidates who desire to
succeed him at this inopportune
time, would mean to go before the
people in an attitude of apology,
when, in fact, there has been moth.

stances there was nothing to do but
face stagnation indefinitely or or
ganize district and push canal de.
velopment. ...-
The remark is frequently heard
in the Pioneer District, that things
would have been better left as they
were. People who express them
selves that way forget that if things
were left as they were only 3 or a
thousand of the $4,000 acres in the
Pioneer Irrigation District could
ever hope for irrigation; the towns
of Caldwell and Nampa would have
shrunken up to practically nothing;
jackrabbits and coyotes would have
held dominion over thousands of
acres tillable lands.
The same remarks will be made
in the Ridenbaugh; the same pessi-
mistic spirit will manifest itself,
and often the evaugels of gloom
and encouragement will be the
only preachers heard in the land.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-02-13

We wish, for the good of the
Ridenbaugh District, that we could
get the ear Of every water user in
IN the district, and drop a few re-
marks therein that would live and
burn in each particular heart and
brain. We would like to drop in
something like this: An Irriga-
ton District once legally establish
ed is an irrevocable fact. You can
no more take it back than you can
stop the stars in their courses. To
repine and regret and bewail is as
prohtless as useless. Difficulties
and disappointments will arise, but
they can be disposed of only by
overcoming them. And the easiest
and quickest way to overcome
them is to attack them cheerfully
and bravely. You have chosen be-
tween stagnation and action-between
standing still and moving forward
between camping on the hill side
and climbing to the summit. YOU
could have remained camped on the
hill side and gradually slid down
to the bottom without stress or ex-
ertiou, but when you undertook to
climb you invited the work and
sweat. Don't think of Sinking.
The more you shirk and squirm the
greater distress you will suffer.
The problem will be solved, and all
will be well in the end. Again,
after chosing men to carry on the
work, hold them in just esteem;
give them your good will and con-
fdence. Consult and advise with
hem on all matters of import. Try
to understand in a broad way the
perplexities which constantly con-
front them. Attend the meetings
of your directors for the purpose Of
gaining helpful information, and
not for the purpose of carping and
censuring. Bear in mind that a
great enterprise cannot be developed
and systematized in year. There
will be new things to learn for a
long time to come. And always
remember how much easier it is to
grumble than to mend.

Governor Morrison has made a cap

tive, and, with alldue regard to the
many able men In the south end of
the state who are announced as can,
didates for the gubornatorial nomi-
nation, we believe the nomination
of anyone else but Mr.. Morrison
would meet with sufficient disap-
proval from the people to jeopardise
the excellent opportunity the Re-
publican party has before it in this

To fail to endorse an administra-

enemy weapon against the party

complished except in case of dire
necessity or last resort. The times

ted to over $4,000. The next highest

these amounted, respectively, to S29.'

STAGE FOLK STRANDED
Greatest Distress Among Actors in
tbs History of the Country
The Iroquois Theatre Fire Has Caused
Loss of Millions to the The
atrtCal World.

Chicago Il!.--Nearly 5000 stage folk
are stranded in Chica go, it is estimated
by agents. With the number being in
creased daily through the closing Of
theatres and attractions in neighboring
cities and States. Chicago. because of
the Iroquois fire and its results, is now
the centre of the greatest distress that
has orertaken the amusement business
in it's history in this country.

public and even TO those in close touch
with the theatrical profession, man
ayers, agents, actors, actresses, chorus

numbers of other crafts Identified with
the mimic world are awaiting want.
Idle groups stand about in hotels and
besiege tile agencies. Hunger shows
in the faces of some. They spurn Of.

cism about some Of the alleged "bene-
fits planned in the name of the pro-
fession.
"It is a case of the survival of the
ittest. and probably the starvation
of the rest" said one old-time MALI
ager. Millions in amusement invest
ments have been and are being swept
away. The collapse following the 1ro-
quois Theatre disaster is not local in
scope. There are the same discourage
ments in varying degrees throughout
the country. and the stranded en-
ployes Of attractions driven on the
rocks are seeking refuge in New York
and Chicago.
AS the greater number of companies
are disbanding throughout the Middle
West, Chicago is feeling the results
worse. OF the four big producing con-
Germs in Chicago in the field Of melo-
drama two have closed all their attrac-
tions and the others have called 10
