county, in case where William Wall
of Midvale is trying to compel the

was denied. He then made a second
application asking permission to sell
intoxicating liquors not to be drunk
on the premises. This was also de-
MED and he then applied for an al
tentative writ of mandate compelling
the sheriff to issue the license or
show cause why he should not. This
was garntde and the case was tried
before Judge Bryan. Robert Nc

commercial CLUB MEETING.

The Commercial Club held very
interesting session Monday night for
the purpose of selecting delegates to
attend the state meeting of the Com
mercial clubs. The following dele

ing the appointment or the delegates
the parcel post question was discus

instruct the delegates on this ques-
ton. So far as Senator Heyburn's
long and short haul amendment was
concerned, there was but one opinion,
all were in favor of 1t. II. A. Grit

came under its observation wherein
the Caldwell banks had not lived up
to the reputation the Tribune claimed
for them. The Tribune comes back
with the statement that We are
strangers to the truth or words to
that effect and still insists that the
checks where there was a deposit
back of them. The fact, however, re-
mains that the manager of one of our
leading stores called up the First
National bank of Caldwell to know If
a check of $3.50 would be cashed il
presented and received a negative
answer, and the same bank gave
the same answer to the cashier of
one of our banks and both gentle
men will make affidavit to these facts
If 1t becomes necessary. Incident
ally it might be mentioned that good
banking does not consist in having
all the deposits on hand at any time,
but in keeping them safely loaned
SO that depositors may in turn re-
cieve a fair interest rate. AS the
Caldwell banks are considered good
banking institutions it is safe to say
that the bulk of their deposits are
loaned and that if there were any
great demand for ready cash all at
once they would be like other banks,
sooner or later compelled to issue
cashiers checks or take the chances
of a run

FOOT BALL GAME.

Those who enjoy a football game
will have a chance on Thanksgiving
to see the best team the G. of l.
ever put out, line up against the
fast team from Ontario High School.
Last year Ontario had the strongest
team in this section of the country.
This year their team Is faster and
but little lighter, If anything. C.<of
l. and Ontario have met times the
-fast- 3 years, two mo score" games
in 1905, last Year, Ontario won two
very close games from the local
lads, and this year the first game
was a mo score" game, and the
second will be a hard fought game
and one full of up-to-date football
stunts. Ontario will prove stronger
in end runs probably, having two
very fast backs in Smith and Fiser.
Caldwell will prove stronger on
plunges just outside of tackle, as
there Is no High School line in the
State who can stop Mccormick and
f. Vassar in their quick plunges out
side tackle and through the line.
Mccormick ought to outpunt the
Ontario full 15 yards on an average
In back-field defensive work Malon-
ey is in class by himself and WISH
tors at the game are apt to see some
thrilling runs of Ontario's punts.
With Cupp and I. Vassar to skirt the
enemy's ends the local boys ought
to win the game. If they go in from
the first and play hard, fast ball.
One of the most encouraging
things of the team is the fact that
they play clean ball from beginning
to end. This honor has been accord
ed them by written letters from the
Principal of every team they have
played this year. Their goal has
been crossed but once this year and
that on account of tumble, and the
boys intend to keep the record clear
IL possible next Thursday.

I.ine-Up,


and Ruark.
College of Idaho football team Is
entitled to claim the Championship
of Western and Southern Idaho by
default. II they care to do so. In
the first. series each team won a
game, Caldwell beating Boise, Boise
beating Payette, and Payette beat
ing Caldwell. In justice to the To-
cal boys it may be said that they
played Payette in crippled condi-
ton, but that does not count. Pay
cite claims that the decision of the
referee was wrong in the Boise
game and the score should have been
tie. But the rule book on page
1S1 decidedly says that the "Decis-
lon of the Referee shall be final as
to the score" Caldwell has tried
to arrange a game with Payette the
last three Saturdays to play off the
tie, as the Boise team has disband-
ed, but Payette has refused to play
The local boys do not care for a
Championship gained by default and
II they play Pocatello, Champions OF
Eastern Idaho. It will be played un.
der those conditions.

there is some hope Of farming in this sec

IF the Government could only be induced
to give US q duty on tea for a few years
l am sure the Southern States would soon
be able to supply the country. 1t need only
be q tax amounting to 10 or is cents q pound
on tea brought into the country. 1t would
have the effect Of excluding the cheap and
unhealthful grades Of foreign teas and Civ
ing us native growers e chance to ge. up a

1t seems very peculiar that the United
States, which has duties on nearly every
other commodity, should receive tea free.
In that respect Il stands almost entirely
alone among the great nations Of the earth
In England the duty on tea is ~ cents q
