SAN FRANCISCO is
TOTALLY RUINED

Loss of life that is appalling in
its extent, probably one thousand
persons have persisted, destruction
of property exceeding $500, 900, 600,
are the results of the terrible earth
quake that devastated San Fran
cisco early on Wednesday morning.
Without doubt the disaster is the
greatest of its kind in the history of
America, and closely approaches in
magnitude many of the greatest
earthquake disasters of the world.
After the shock which wrecked
the city, flames broke out in scores
of the demolished buildings and the
entire business center of the great
city was swept by FIRE. The water
supply was cut off and the only
method of checking the progress of
the flames was the destruction of
buildings by dynamite.

The Street Seized.

Monday morning the Caldwell
Interurban seized Main street, from
the Saratoga corner to the Central
Lumber yards. The Boise Inter
urban was going ahead building on
a lortion of Main street for which
the Caldwell company had a fran
chise. The Boise people were lit
tie inclined to be independent about
terminal and traffic arrangements
until the Caldwell company took
possession of the street. Every
thing was pleasantly adjusted, how
ever, and work resumed by the
Boise company. Monday evening
a franchise was granted the Boise
Interurban on Main street from
First to Fourth avenue west.

CALDWELL Y. M. c. A. ASSURED

A very interesting meeting of
Caldwell business men was held in
Lowell & Madden's Office Tuesday
evening for the purpose of discuss
ing the practibility of establishing
a Y. M. G. A. in Caldwell. It was
the sense OF the meeting that every
effort should be put forth toward Sc
curing funds for the purchase of a
suitable site and the erection of a
magnificent building. The esti-
mated cost of site and building is

to raise $40. 700 by public subscrip-

Butte Railroad.

A number of strangers have been
in Caldwell during the week look
ing up conditions in Caldwell with
a view of locating and going into
business here. These men have
money and are anxious to invest.
They all speak as though the Mon
tana, Idaho and San Francisco rail-
road was a sure 60. and seem sur
prised that so little interest is man
ifested in Caldwell. They claim
that the proposed road cannot miss
this city.
In case the road is built it will
mean great deal tor this whole
section of country and especially
for Caldwell. The population Of
the city will be doubled in the next
two years. AS construction work
in both directions will start from
this point, the d oubling of the pop
ulation. in a year is a very easy

GNINN ON IRRIGATION CONGRESS

M. B. Gwinn, chairman of the
executive committee of the Irriga-

In Boise this year, was in Caldwell
couple of days this week. Mr..
Gwinn says that while the other
states of the arid region are taking
great interest in the congress, gen.
eral apathy seems to prevail in
Idaho. The people here do not
seem to realize the great benefit to
be derived from the congress.
Either they do not realize or do not
care. At present Mr.. Gwinn feels
somewhat discouraged. He thinks
that if the people of Idaho are not
sufficiently interested to raise money
to appropriately entertain the con-
gress, that it would be better to
abandon the idea of trying to hold

Antoine Hinkey, who is so widely
known and popular in this section
of the universe, returned from an
extended absence in California, the
morning of April 1st 1t was snow
ing and the worst blizzard in years
was raging. Antoine, with his i'm
pediment of step, struck for his old
popular hotel - the Commercial,
which he leased out. He went to
the old front door and it was locked,
with a barber-shop inside; he then
visited the bar-room and big new
fellow-a stranger to him, was on
duty. He was directed how to get
into the Office, where he found that
old "Crickets," the night clerk,
was gone and on inquiry he learned
that the brindled Mira, terror OF
rats in the Commercial vicinity, had
died. Hlnkey was a lost man, an

Arguments on Right of Way.

Saturday Judge Smith heard the
arguments on the demurrer in the
case of Kate Green VS.. Charles Will
hite and Ed. Conway, government
contractors on the reclamation pro-
ject. The plaintiff asked for an in
junction restraining the contractors
from constructing the canals over
her lands. The decision will be
handed down in few days.
Fremont Wood appeared as attor-
ney for the complainant, Mrs. Green,
while United States District Attor-
ney Ruick appeared on behalf of
the contractors by virtue of the in
terest which the federal government
has in the outcome of the case.
The only question at issue be-
tween the parties to the suit is the
construction of the act of 1890, and
its effect upon the reservation in the
patents issued since then, which are
made subject to reclamation canals.
1t is claimed by the government
that the clause in the patents, based
upon the act of 1890, acts as a grant
of the necessary right-of way for the
government bitches. no matter when
they are constructed. The COM
plainant, on the other hand, con-
tends that the act in question gives
the government free right-of-way
only for such bitches as were con
structed at the time the patent was
issued, and not tor those, such as
that for which Conway & White
now have the contract, constructed
subsequently,.

Without Delay Everything r7 ~,
Now Finally Settled ,dt bdu

The bids for the construction Of
the main canals of the Payetter
Boise reclamation project from the
dam now being constructed on the
Boise river to Indian creek were
opened Monday. The length, uef
the canals is 20 miles. WluH.
Thompson of Boise and Page 81
Brinton of Salt Lake are the sucr
cessful bidders. The former gets
the first two-thirds, while the lattef
gets the balance. AT the time the
reclamation bids were let, a few
weeks ago, there was but one bidI
that of Hubbard & Carlson. Theft
bid was considered too high. The
present bid is $225,e5o, which is
$6775 less than Hubbard & Carl
sons bid.
The 20 miles of main canal,
which is exclusive of the stretch
between Indian creek and the Deer
Flat reservoir, for which the con-
tract has already been let to Con-
way & White of Star, was sab
divided into three schedules, in or
der to LEI smaller contractors submit
bids. if desired.
The first schedule, that nearest
the river. includes 35,2So feet of
canal, besides some $500 yards of
rip-rapping. 1t involves the hand
ling of about 4o2, 900 cubic yards of
earth. The second schedule, 81
900 feet in length, will require the
handling of 100000 cubic yards of
earth; and the third necessitates
the disposal of about 2s4, 900 yards
of dirt, the length Of this section
being $1,000 feet.
/ The bids for the first schedule or
section of canal were found to be
as follows: w. H. Thompson. $e3,-
gas; Smith & Youngkin, $Io6, o25;
Page & Brinton, $13o,8 800.
Second schedule-W. H. Thomp-
son, $66,475; Smith & Youngkin,
$4,000; Page & Brinton, $6o,75o.
Third schedule-W. H. Thomp-
son, $o6, 600; Page & Brinton.
$6o,I5o; Smith & Youngkin SUBJ
mitted no bid on this section.
1t will be noticed that Mr..
Thompson is the low BIDDER on the
first and second sections, while
Page & Brinton of Salt Dake are
just $3.50 lower on the third Sec
ton.
The total combined bids of these
two, including the lowest amounts
for which the work can be done on
each of the schedules, is $225,e5o.
The total of the bid of Mr.. Thomp-
son is $226, 400, and that of Page
& Brinton is $226, 100. The bid
of Smith & Youngkin on two Sec
tons of the work amounts to
$Is7,525.

The POstOffice Receipts Show a

No one thing is as perfect and

growth of town, as the postofhce
receipts. Caldwell is growing rap
idly, and the fact is forcibly re.
flected by the business at the post
Office. The town has nearly
reached the second class. when
city delivery will be established.
The business Of postoffice must
reach $1,000 per annum to place the
Office in the second class. The re-
ceipts of the postofice for the last
four quarters were;

The increase of business OF the
quarter ending March 81, 1906,
over the quarter ending March 81,
1905, was $35o.oS, or 10 per cent.
The total receipts tor the quarter
ending March 81, 1905, were
$1853.I3, while for the same quar-
ter this year they were $22Io.2I.
If that ratio is maintained during
the next three quarters, the Cald-
we'll postofice will easily be in the
second class by the first of the year.
But with the present growth it
should be raised to the second class
by September 80, 1906.

Are You a Booster

The best man we have in our little
town for the general good OF the town
is the one you will always find on the
front seat OF the progressive band
wagon. He is the first one to extend
an open and warm hand to greet the
stranger and welcome him to the best
town in the state. He will resent an
insult to our town as quickly as ne
would slur at member OF his family.
He very politely invites the chronic
croaker to "move on" He is ever
ready to give his just proportion to
every public enterprise. He talks up
our town at home and abroad and
believes it the best place upon God s
green earth in which to live and desires
to be buried here when he dies.
Let us all try and be like this man for
one year and our little city will take
on new life and improve as never
before in its history.-Ex
