JOHNNY COME LATELIES
ARE ALWAYS UP AND DOING.
SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS SOME OF OUR NEW COMERS
HAVE ACCOMPLISHED FOR CALDWELL.

This man Is Harry j. Crookham. Mr..
Crookham came to Caldwell and saw
its opportunities. In short time
he was in the lumber business and
then manufacturing all kinds of
things in wood. Without detracting
one iota from the credit due Messrs.
Cooper and Summers and others, we
must say that the splendid factory
now operating in Caldwell is largely
due to the foresight and energy of
Mr.. Crookham. Then there is Mr..
Summers He came very lately"
and yet he is part of Caldwell and
thoroughly identified with its bust
ness interests. Me srs. Rockwell,
Aven, Lesser, Botkin. Gordon, Dodge,
Baker, Ballantyne, all splendid men,
dropped in on us and took up the
work. These men would be a credit
to any community. Hardly had they
settled when aolng came Mr.. S. ID.
Simpson with an eye to bank. AL
ready has he established two mag
nificient financial institutions in Can
yon county and interested a hif doz-
en- families in this city. He has i'm
bibed freely of Caldwell enterprise,
and today there is not more en-
thusiastic man in this city. Mr..
Simpson is a splendid type to work
on, and consequently we will devote
little space to him, knowing that
he won't feel bad, even II we donsi
state things just right Certain
men possess the faculty of arousine
enthusiasm. That is because the,
can see the opportunities, and havt
faith in their Judgment. They are
confident themselves and consequent
ly inspire confidence in others. Anon,
such is Mr.. Simpson. With determ
nation, energy and foresight maj
cannot help but succeed. Our new
men have these characteristics. o
course the older business men ar
maintaining their places. We hay
spoken so often of their good quail
ties that it is not necessary to repeat
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1906-10-06

Caldwell was very fortunate in
men of energy, thrift, industry and
enterprise. From time to time new
men have come in this city. With
very few exceptions these new men
were as good for the town as the old
residents. From time to time The
Tribune has called attention to the
energy and enterprise of the business
men of the community. At this time
We wish to speak of those men who
have come here within the past few
years. In a comparatively short
time a new set of men have as
sumed charge of the business in
terests, in a large measure. We have
seen new men come in, engage In
business, and in fact become one of
us without any comment. For in
stance, four years ago Hon. ]. H.
Lowell moved to Caldwell, engaged
in the real estate business and is
now thoroughly acclimated. And 1t
is noteworthy that Caldwell assimi-
lates business men with wonderful
rapidity. Mr.Lowel became inoculat-
ed with Caldwell activity and inn
mediately started work on the Pay
ette-Boise government reclamation
project. To-day that project is in
4 course of actual construction. This
great undertaking is being rushed to
completion. Shortly after, the ad-
vent of MIR. j. F. Herr was heralded
Mr.. Herr had the fever of enterprise
when he came here, but 1t has be-
come more intense. He saw the need
of Business Mans Association, and
with commendable spirit he under
took to organize such an institution
That organization has accomplished
a great good for Caldwell and the
surrounding country. Were 1t tt
cese operations today, the work al
ready done would rebound to thu
everlasting credit of Caldwell. IL
our anxiety to speak of Mr.. Her
we had overlooked another man

he said he had no use for Johnson

was being said.

the room with it's rafting noise. At
times Adams colored and at times he
was ill at ease. frequently whispering
to counsel, and once he got up from
his seat and sat for time beside his
aged uncle, who is proving to be his
friend.
The emotion of the uncle was
marked, and he several times arose
and went over to Attorneys Darrow,
Nugent and Wourms, whispering to
witness would touch upon some par
ticular detail he went to Adams and
the two exchanged words below their
breath, and with evident enthusiasm.
Attorney barrow remained cool and
did not appear to be at all surprised
at what was being told, regardless Of
the fact that the details of the al
legged confession are supposed to have
been kept a secret from the defense
and the public.
Why Thiel Joined the Union.
Attorney barrow worked hard on
Detective Thiel today, having him on
| the stand the entire afternoon, but
failed to get him to deviate from any
essentials of his direct testimony.
He cross-examined him on everything
in the nature of employment he has
done since childhood, and forced him
to admit that he had joined the Butte
Miners union as John Cameron in
| October, 1904, five months after he
] became a Pinkerton detective. THE
admitted that so long as he worked
in the mines at Butte he was in con
slant communication with his Office
reporting on millmen. II reported
ON millmen who were guilty o.
thefts," said the witness.
When the question about Thiep'
joining the union was asked by Oar
row, Attorney Knight, for the State
vigorously objected, and Mr.. Darrow
during a heated argument for hi
point, said this entire fight is agains

The Tribune is informed by re-
sponsible men that the city council
has accepted plans and Specifications
for the new city hall. The hall Is to
be built on First Avenue west, across
Indian creek. 1t is to be frame
building. thinly veneered with ce-
ment-sandstone formation. 1t will
cost SIS 900 and be disgrace to the
town. When the people of Caldwell
voted bonds to the amount of $25.-
900 for the purpose of building a
city hall in keeping with Caldwell's
size and dignity, they expected
brick and stone structure. If they
Fhad wanted sham, they could have
veneered the present elegant edifice.
and saved the cost of new lots. 1t is
understood that Architect Tourtelotte
of Boise came to Caldwell with plans
for a $4,000 building and the coun-
Gil held a midnight session for the
purpose of considering the plans.
Upon investigation it was found that
| only $4,000 of the $4,000 was
available for the building. The bal
ance was to be used In purchasing a
site and furniture. Two outlines
were submitted by other architects
for SIS 900 structure .of brick and
stone. The council was so enrap-
tured with the picture of the $4,000
building that they woiild not consider
the other plans. The look of the
thing was the only consideration, and
consequently We will have a frame
building. In the estimation of the
city council. it makes little difference
what material is used so long as 1t
looks right from the depot. The
council seems possessed of the idea
that a man will step OF the train at
the depot. cast an eye at the city hall
and go his limit In Caldwell real es-
! tate.

Anthony Gorham, young man
23 years of age, created some eX-
element here NJ inday afternoon
while temporarily insane. He jump
ed from the second story window In
Allen brothers drug store building,
rolled down the awning to the street,
and picking himself up, waded across
Sand creek and mounting the North
ern Pacific tracks, started for the big
bridge. Marshal Moran was called
to arrest him, gave chase stopping
him as he was crossing the Sand
creek bridge. He was placed In Jail
until night when Deputy Sheriff Mer-
ritt called and took him to Rathdrum
where he was examined as to his
mental condition.
Gorham was in a pitiable condi-
ton when placed under arrest. He
had no underclothing on and the
walk through the cold water had
chilled him through. He had gone
to DR.. McKinnon's Office and into the
waiting room and without saying "a
word to any one opened the window
and jumped out. He claimed to
have come from Spokane on a
freight. When asked why he jumped
from the window he said that a
bunch of Indians threw him out
