CALDWELL is GROWING.

A. o. Christopher, the retiring
principal of the Caldwell schools, is
authority for a number of interest
ing facts in regard to the-condition
If educational affairs, as he passes
Them into the hands of his successor,
Mr.. Christopher took charge of the
schools two years and four months
ago, and the present status of af-
airs, make an interesting compari-
SON Then. the enrolment was 40,
and the number of teachers, includ-
ing the principal, was 10. Now
there is an enrolment of 6S3 and a
corps of 16 teachers.
The high school and eighth grade
combined were in charge of the prin-
cipal and one other instructor. Since
then the High school course has been
changed from two years to four, and
nonopolizes the services of a special
principal and an assistant, the regu-
lar principal also helping in this de-
partment A two-years' course in
German has been added.
The material equipment of the
schools has been substantially in
creased. A. $3.50 piano has been
purchased and paid for, and a ply
steal laboratory added. One new
ward school has been built at a cost
If $4,000. A block on Washington
Heights has been purchased and
plans drawn for $4,000 school
building, thoroughly modern. to be
erected thereon and ready for occu-
fancy by September next.
Mr.. Christopher reports the at
tendance during the past two years
GOOD In interest, ideals. advance
ment and courtesy, he considers pu-
pills here in the west equals, If not
peers, of those in the east. This at
tributed largely to the absence of the
foreign element, the schools In this
section being distinctively American,
hence superior. The work accom-
Dlished during his administration of
affairs educational in the city is in
itself fitting monument of the eff

THE EAGLES DANCE.

The grand ball and supper given
by the Eagles of Caldwell, Friday
evening a week ago, was a brilliant
social success. There We're present
nearly one hundred couples, many
of whom came from Nampa. The
members of the Aerie express graft
fication to Nampa and the people of
that city for attending the ball. All
the visitors express themselves as
we'll pleased in every respect. They
had good time, and were glad they
came. The members from Caldwell
certainly did everything in their
power to afford pleasant evening.
The music by Christenson's orches-
ira of Boise was swell. Every num-
Der on the program was well render
ed and greatly appreciated. The
Auditorium was beautifully adorned
with Eagles, flags, bunting and col
ored electric lights. The persons
who did this work are to be con
- ot"iotSus hI dStlllelt VI tne
auditorium were attentive and did
everything in their power to make
the affair a success. The dining
room at the Saratoga was also beau
tiful. Bunting, flags and flowers,
plants and electric lights were used
in profusion. Manager Sebree is
certainly to be congratulated upon
the excellent manner in which he had
the room decorated and also upon
the supper. 1t was in keeping with
the style of the Eagles, which is al
ways high. The crowd was quiet,
orderly and we'll behaved. They
had a good time, but they did it as
ladies and gentlemen should do it.
The Tribune congratulates all.

TIE FAIR TROUBLE
HAS BEEN SETTLED

The Tribune understands that
Messrs. Froman and Mosby have
made the following proposal, regard
ing the disposition of the much vexed
question of the fair association. The
gentlemen offer duel proposition,
one of which is, that if the associa-
ton will give them the sale of the
lots embraced in the grounds, of the
present fair site, they will remove
the buildings and sell the lumber and
be at all expense for the plating or
other matters in connection with the
sale. They to receive rs per cent
commission and also receive par for
all the stock they hold which is
about 10 shares. part of which was
purchased below par and some at
par. Their other proposition is for
the fair association to give them
$1.OO premium for the stock they
hold or in other words, they will
take $4,000 per share for what cost
them $1,000 or less, and they will
step down and out.
We understand that there is a sub
scription to be circulated in Cald-
we'll for the purpose of equalizing
the holding of all of the stock of
the present Canyon County Fair as
ISOLATION, the subscription being for
the full $40, 900, of the present stock
Of the fair. which is to be held at
par, this will take up all of the treas
ury stock of the association and dis
tribute the present holdings equitably
among the people. 1t will furnish
sufficient funds to pay off the indebt-
edness and also to make several
thousands of dollars worth of per-
manent improvements to the present
grounds, and insure the permanently
of the fair on the present grounds.
Canyon county is the leading ag,
ricultural county of the state of Ida
no, with the county appropriation to
be obtained, increasing each year, the
fair should improve until it is the
best in the State. There is a posi-
bility that the Boise fair will be dis
continued and if so. Canyon county's
fair will then attain first rank in the
state,

Two men, Joe and Burt Slater.
rested last week at Emmett, charged
with raping girl of IA years, by
the name of Clara Williams. The
facts are, as near as The Tribune
could learn, as follows: The men
have been staying in shack on an
island just above Emmett. The girl
has been living at Knox, small sta
ton in Boise county. Her. father is
dead and her mother left her to
shift for herself The girl came to
Emmett, but could find no perma-
nent home, when the Skaters met her
and induced her to go TO their abode
and do their cooking for them 1t
was thus that they accomplished
their hellish purpose. The circum
stances are TOO revolving for publica
ton. The preliminary hearing was
before Justice Sinclair. The evidence
was sufficient TO bind them over to
the district court. The elder was
held for $500 and the younger in
the sum of $1,000. Not being able
to furnish the necessary bail they
are now in Jail. Sheriff Thorp and
Deputy Payne brought them to Cald-
well to await their trial in the dis
trict court. 1t is said that Burt
Slater claimed to have been the
coachman for Governor Adams of
Colorado.

Our neighbor, The Tribune, had a
splendid write up of Caldwell in its
last issue. 1t is just such pre-
sentation of the town and it's growth
during the past year as it deserved,

the business men of the community
will show their appreciation of this
service in an increased patronage of
The Tribune during the years to
come.

An unusual concert was that given
at the College Assembly hall, Tues
day evening, by Miss Eggleston, the
we'll known pianist and Mrs. Charles
Adams. reader from Boise. The
audience was small, but appreciative.
Those who attended are In accord in
pronouncing the concert one of the
finest ever given in Caldwell. Miss
Egleston opened the program with
two solos, consisting of: Prelude,
Chopin; Overture, Chopin; mazurka,
Poldeni.
The chief attraction of the evening
was the melo-drama, Enoch Arden.
The fine high sentiment of the
famous process is wondrously repro
duced in sympathetic music, which
flows in as an accompaniment to the
reading. Mrs. Adams is a reader of
highest distinction, being a gradu-
ate of the Emerson College of Ora
tory. Her splendid voice and in
tensely dramatic nature admirably
fit for the lines of Tennyson. Miss
Egleston is a pianist of great tai.
ent, who has been associated with
the worlds greatest artists, both in
this country and abroad and her DO
etic interpretations are always en-.
joyed.
