coming to our busy city during the
past year, one of which its good eff
fects will be felt by the entire com
munity for an indefinite time, was
closed Just at the close of the past
and prosperous year, namely, the
: change in ownership of 400 acre,
OF land in our city limits. II. w
Dorman, the mining and real estate
: dealer, purchased of Senator Ale,
: Caldwell of Leavenworth. Kansas
his entire land holdings south OF
Washington Heights The consider
alton was Forty Thousand Dollars
cash, the largest cash real estate
deal ever contaminated in our coun.
ty.
This body of land is beautifully
located, being on what is known as
the bench; its elevation is much
higher than the original townsite OF
Caldwell; it is covered by a large
growth of sagebrush, which Is evil
dence of its good soil; it has a per-
feet drainage, and the view of the
surrounding country and city of
Caldwell is superb. Mr. Dorman in
forms The Tribune that the entire
400 acres will be cleared of brush
and plated into lots, blocks, 21a, 5
and 10 acre tracts. The clearing of
the brush is being done now. The
contract for same being let in 100
acre lots.
| Those of our citizens who know
Mr.. Dormans style of handling real
estate know full we'll this land will
be sold quickly. When did-means
as we say above-of great benefit to
| the community at large.
An illustration of Mr.. Dorman's
quick work is amply demonstrated
In his proposition to the Caldwell
lnterurban r. r.. which was having
some trouble over Its present fran
chise and right-of-way. Mr.. Dor
man proposed to give warranty
deed for right of way 2 miles in
length and perfect franchise
through the City of Caldwell and
thirty-f1ve hundred dollars in cash
If the Interurban r. r would move
Its road through the center of this
400 acres. The proposition was ac-
cepted, and the rails will soon be
replaced upon the new right-of-way,
which Is graded on each side of this
railroad for distance of four blocks.
The land will be plated in lots and
blocks. Churches, school houses and
park sites will be reserved and divid-
ed direct to the different organiza-
tons. The plating will be made on
broad and liberal lines. Large
streets, large lots nicely arranged for
suburban homes, will be the style of
plating. Another attractive feature
of this land deal is the fact of East
ern people being heavily interested
with Mr.. Dorman. The organization
will be known as the Dorman Land
Co., of which Mr.. Dorman is one of
the directors and general manager.
Electric Power.
That Caldwell is supplied with
electric power is due to home capital.
w. r. Sebree was first to install cleo
ric power in the city. About six
months ago he made arrangements
for power from Swan Falls on Snake
river. The city now has one of the
best systems in the State. Mr.. Sc
bree has over $4,000 invested in
this plant
Hardware.
Boyes Hardware Co. are exclusive
dealers. Mr.. Bowes is the manager
and has many years experience in
the business. The firm carries an
extensive line of all kinds of hard
ware and the stock is owned at bed
rock prices, and the firm IL not afraid
of competition.
Livery Barns.
Caldwell Is we'll equipped with
livery barns, there being Ave estab-
lishments of this kind, and you can
get anything from a bronco to q
team of thoroughbreds. Dan Camp
bell leads the procession and p. f.
Engel is next in order. The fact that
the number of barns have increased
is further proof of Caldwells growth
Candy Factories.
Two firms are In the candy manu-
featuring business now. Two years
ago Caldwell had to depend on Salt
Lake for candy, but 1t is different
now.
Two Stationery Stores.
Ed Adams and c. E. Brown handle
the bulk of the stationery of the
city. Their stocks include books and
toys, and during the season they
have Ice cream and soda on tap
