DIR. Hollingshead summoned. He soon
revived those afflicted. 1t is thought the
trouble was caused by burning some
poisonous substance In the stove.
In these days of modern ideas 1t is said
that women are embarking In the trades
and occupations of men and the men are
engaging In the avocations of the women.
This Is truth that can be proved at Bev-
erly, where James J. Carr advertised for
washing, and he can be seen daily at the
washtub, wringing and hanging up clothes
like an experienced washerwoman. Carr
has very poor eyesight and is unable to
work at any trade, and has engaged In
the washing business for living.
One of the most important sales held in
Burlington county In recent years will
take place in Mount Holly on December
10, when Sheriff Norcross will sell the
property of the Chatsworth Park Com.
pany, embracing 5,428 acres of land In
the pine belt. The foreclosure proceed
ings have been taken by the Trust Com
pany of America. The Park company wa
incorporated about twelve years ago by
party of wealthy New York bushes
men with an authorized capital of 81,

ers of the company was Prince Don Mari
Ruspoli. The site of this palatial clu
house is about three-quarters OF mil
from Chatsworth station on the Jerse
Central Railroad. On the grounds ar
several cottages belonging to the mem
bers. An artificial lake furnishes aquatic
sports and magnificent drives complet

that the trouble In the club was cause

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Will NOT come THROUGH

route was fixed and that 5000. 90
would not change 1t one iota or
words to that effect. Mr. Cosgriff
argued that the owner of real estate
was the man to be benefited by rail-
roads, new Industries, etc.; that the
bank would not be benefited to any
appreciable extent; and consequently
that $4500.00 was an unfair and I'M
just assessment. AS business prop
osition he would rather pick up the
First National Bank and move 1t out
Of Caldwell than pay that amount
He strongly intimated that as he
could find plenty of places to invest
his money, that he might do so. How
ever, out of the charity of his heart,
and after consultation with his as
sociates in business, the bank would
pay what they thought reasonable
and fairly proportionate to the bene-
fits that might accrue.
Mr.. Cosgriff is undoubtedly a great
business man and financier. He Is
in close touch with the financial in
terests of the west and is ina position
to know what is going on. His state
ment that the road will be built will
be good news. His theory that the
man with money, or a bank will not
be benefited by the growth of the
country is a new one to us. We were
always taught that the growth and
development of country meant more
business and more business meant
more money. We note that the First
National Bank of Caldwell is after
new business all the time. We note
that the bank spends money every
month in soliciting new accounts.
But as we never have had
more than six bits and
shoe string at one time in our
whole life, we are in no position to
discuss banking with able bankers.
As the people of Caldwell cannot
enforce the collection of the banks
proportion OF the bonus. we think
that Mr.. Cosgriff really don't expect
to move the First National Bank
from Caldwell.
Messrs. Cosgriff and Smell are
pleasant, affable gentlemen. They
treated the business men with mark
ed respect. We are sure the business
men of Caldwell were greatly pleased.
Mssrs. Herr. Cupp, Cleaver, Cue, Bal
lantyne and Clay were the business
men who presented the Caldwell side
of the proposition.

Caldwell line
A GREAT Thing

While out where the people are do
ing things in the valleys, for a few
days this week and last, the writer
enjoyed ar ide over the new interur-
ban trolley line from Boise down to
Caldwell running the greater portion
of the way through a fine section of
Boise valley which he had not form
erly visited. 1t is fine piece of our
fine state, covered by beautiful farms
with orchards, clover, alfalfa and
grain fields, indicative of the prevail
ing prosperity this portion of the
state is now enjoying. An air of pro-
gress and improvement covers nearly
all of it with new buildings going up
and stacks and shocks of recently
harvested hay and grain and fat
stock in pastures, showing abundance
all along the splendid valley. The
railroad now connecting the villages
and communities with the two ter
minal towns is we'll constructed with
heavy rails and solid roadbed hand
some stations and a substantially
built power station where the electric
current received from the Swan Falls
power plant is distributed along the
line. Both passengers and freight
are handled, even steam railway cars
are handled, even steam railway
freight cars being hauled over the
road for transfer to the steam rail-
ways, enabling the farmer to ship
their products to outside markets
without a long haul to the station.
That this electric interurban road
will do wonders in building up this
fine and productive valley none can
doubt. The same road will be ex-
tended to other towns down Snake
river and in other directions until a
net work of trolley lines cover all
the territory contiguous to Boise
Owyhee Nugget.

Mr.. j. e. Cosgriff, president OF the
First National Bank of Caldwell, and
a heavy stock holder in several other
banks scattered over Idaho, Utah
and Wyoming. was in Caldwell Satur-
day, looking after business interests
and getting acquainted with the peo-
pie, conditions and possibilities Of
Caldwell. At the invitation of Mr..
G.. d. Smell, Jr. cashier of the First
National, a number of Caldwell BUSH
ness men met Mr.. Cosgriff at the
bank for the purpose of discussing
the justice of the assessment levied
by the railroad committee on the
bank for the purpose of discussing
445O0.00 and was considered the
amount the bank should put up for
the bonus promised the San Francis
CO, Idaho & Montana Railroad Com
pany. The people of Caldwell under
stand that the committee appointed
to raise the $45.000.0O bonus took
the county assessment roll as basis.
The amount each man was asked to
contribute was taken from this basis
It is equally well understood that
public sentiment and the mans liber-
atty are the only things that could
force the collection of the assess
ments. Mr.. Cosgriff is man Of
acumen, business ability, we'll able to
think clearly and eloquently and
forcefully express his thoughts. He
first asked who owned the bonds of
the Boise Interurban Railroad Com
pany, and who was behind the San
Francisco, Idaho & Montana railroad
company. These questions the bus
mess men were unable to answer.
Mr.. Cosgriff then went on to state his
views. He said. that without doubt,
railroad would be built from Cald-
well, connecting with the Western
Pacific at Winnemucca, Nevada. He
granted that the building of the road
would open UP magnificent country,
give Caldwell a wonderful impetus.
and be of great benefit, financially
and otherwise to the whole country
and especially Caldwell. But he
thought that whether Caldwell put
up the $45. 100000 or not made alb
solutely no difference as to the build
ing of the road via Caldwell. He said
1t was absurd to think that the Gould
interests, who are supposed to be
behind this project should come to
Caldwell and demand petty $45.-
10000 bonus. He said that the

A Big Congress Assured.

The biggest National convention of
the year will the Fifteenth Ma
tional Irrigation Congress that con-
venes in Sacramento in September.
1t is confidently anticipated that the
attendance of delegates will reach
three thousand. This is more than
double the number present at any
previous meeting of the body. The
congress will also be the most repre-
sentative in the history of the or
ganization. The delegates include
the Vice President of the United
States, members of the Presidents
Cabinet, Senators and Representa-
tives in the Federal Congress, from
nearly every state in the Union. In
addition to these representatives OF
the National Government, governors
of states, legislators, state officials
and municipal officers from every
important center in the United States
are among the members of the same
body. There is not an Organization
of National prominence in the coun-
try that will be unrepresented in this
great convention. Educational, pro-
lions and institutions will send dele
fessional and commercial associa-
gates. No unofficial National con-
vention in the United States ap-
breaches this in the broad scope of
its purpose and the distinguished per-
sonnet of its membership.

They are cutting the revised statute

This method of work, the COM
