A Caldwell Wedding.

Wednesday afternoon, Miss Mary
e. Meyer and Frederick F. Beal, of
st. Joseph, Mo-, were united in mar
riage by Rev. Springer. pastor of the
Presbyterian church of this city. None
but the members of the family and
two or three friends were present at
the ceremony. Mr.. Beal is one of
the leading professors of music in
the northwest, and has until recent
ly been connected with the st. Joseph
Conservatory OF music and it was
while Miss Meyer was a pupil at that
institution that she met her husband.
Miss Meyer is the eldest daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. Meyer, of this city, and
has long been favorite in the musi-
cal circles of our town; her absence
will be greatly missed The bride and
groom left on No. for Portland on
the day of their wedding. They will
make Seattle their future home.

The Weiser Sigal smarting under
two defeats at the hands of the Cald-
well champions is getting soured on
world. The Signal feels bad all over.
1t can't help it. We don't blame IT,
but have to smile. Listen to the soul
splitting plant from the last issue:
IF the city of Weiser desires a sea-
son of good, clean baseball sport,
she should organize on a different
basis. Weiser is certainly baseball
city. There is no city in the north
west whose business men take greater
pride in baseball than Weiser, but
they desire to see the national game
played on the square. 1t may be
that within the cities of Emmett,
Caldwell, Nampa and Mountainhome
there are honest sportsmen, but If so
they are kept hopelessly in the back
ground that their influence is never
felt No honest sportsman will deny
that the action of the sports of EN-
NETT, Caldwell, Nampa and Noun
tainhome, during the latter half of
the season has been rotten and with
out the slightest resemblance to or
ganized BASEBALL or honest sport The
Weiser team was composed of a
bunch of fine young men whose hab-
its were such that they were well
come visitor into any household,
perfect gentlemen everyone of them
and apparently for this reason the
big four" started in to down them,
and when fair means failed, then by
foul and unsportsmanlike methods.
The Weiser team has repeatedly de-
feated every team in the league and
has also defeated every Imaginable
combination of the best players of
the league and can do so again. But
what honor or glory is there with
playing with a bunch of polecats-
Better by far go in with such cities
as LaGrande, Pendleton, Baker City
cities that know honest sport when
they see It,, Then place themselves
under the protection of the National
Association and let Emmett, Cald-
well, Nampa and Mountainhome form
little hades of their own where they
can play rotten ball to their hearts
content"
BY all means let Weiser go in with
La Grande, Pendleton and. and, and
Aberdeen. It would do her poor soul
good. Probably the Signal will ex-
plain how Caldwell won her first
game with Weiser. That probably
looked rotten too. TO the Signal.

NJ. A. Bates the only Democratic
editor left in Canyon county, was in
Caldwell Tuesday, as defendant in a

encouragingly about Parma, and vi

fish and snake stories, but The Tri-

from business trip to Boise, where
he went for the purpose of complet-
ing arrangements with the Boise In

side track at his prune orchard. Mr..
Pierce informed Mr.. Wilson that a
side track would be put in and II the
electric power was not ready when
the prunes were ripe that steam pow
err would be used to move the prune
crop. 1t is impossible at present to
compel the installation OF additional
power at Swan Falls by reason of the
high stage of water in the Snake riv-
er. The lower Snake river is the

Caldwell q Financial Center.


Tuesdays Capital News has a very
interesting article inspired by Mr.. 8.
D. Simpson. The News says:
From s. D. Simpson, cashier of
the Western National Bank of Cald-
we'll, some very interesting data are
secured showing the abundant pros
perity of the residents of this county,
of which Caldwell is the financial
center. He said the deposits in the
IL banks of Canyon county amount
in round numbers to $3,375,OOO.O
The combined capital of the banks is
100000, with a surplus of over
$25O,OOO.
Caldwell is easily the banking Nee
CO of the county. A number of rea-
sons contribute to this fact Money
finds it's way to the county seat
through various avenues and is in
turn distributed from this financial
center, making Caldwell the heart of
this circuiatory system. The immense
are rich source of revenue niece
stock interests of the interior regions
tributary to Caldwell are a rich
source of revenue to the country and
the owners of flocks and herds have
found the institutions of this city
good custodians of their spare change.
Doubtless the lodestone which at
tracts money in this direction is the
conservative and reliable character
of the men who are the head of the
banking institutions of this city.
Caldwelrs three banks aggregate
capital stock of $4,000. equalled
by their combined surplus. and their
united deposits spell prosperity In no
uncertain type.
1t might seem that these store
houses of treasure would attract the
Jesse James style of investor. but not
so. The present system of insurance.
time locks and other precautionary
measures complicate matters for the
thief who would break through and
steal, discourage such attempts and
insure the saftey of deposits. Coun-
terfeit pieces seldom pass the eagle
eye of the money changers of this
neck of the woods without detection.
In Dickens days and closer in than
that, too. bankers were recognized as
far as one could see them. They
never varied from one prescribed
ing dignity supported by cane or UNI
brella, funeral habiliments and a
generally forbidding atmosphere
were their striking characteristics.
The banker of today bears scant like
ness to his ancient predecessor. In
the west he bears absolutely no pro-
dustry. He may be young or middle
aged or old. He Is frankly human, a
good mixer and invites rather than
repels business.
The banking status of Canyon
county is perhaps fair index to gen
! eral conditions In the northwest. 1t
is true We do not have money enough
in this section to develop Its unlim-
tied resources forthwith. but the
time is past when New York and Chi
cago were called upon to meet every
financial energy, as was the case 10
years ago. We are still on neighbor-
/ ly borrowing terms with eastern cap
| ital, but as a rule We finance our
own undertakings and maintain our
own institutions.

TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronlze the Mer-
chants of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti-
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason II is necessary for you 10
ask for credit. you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask II Of a mail
order house?
Because: II a merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort TO
build and better your market, thns. in
creasing both the value of city, And
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does not tighten your taxes or in any
way hold the value of your property.
Because; The mail order merchant
does nothing for the benefit of mar
kets or real estate values.
Because: II your town Is good
enough to live in it is good enough to
spend money in.-Gov. Folk of Mis-
souri,.
Because: The best citizens in your
community patronize home industry.
Why not be one OF the best citizens?
Because: If you give your home
merchant an opportunity TO compete,
by bringing your order to him in the
quantities you buy 0ut of town, he will
demonstrate that. quality considered,
he will save you money.
