Suggestion to Change Creek.

Some of the prominen men of
Caldwell are talking about the prac-
ticability and ACCESSIBILITY of chang
ing the course of Indian Creek.
These gentlemen think that the creek
could be diverted from it's present
channel about a mile and half
above town, and thrown over toward
Canyon hill, following along the
foot of the Hill and finally Gmptying
In to the Settlers canal, this a OF
the Boise river. Gentlemen who
have Investigated say that the cost
would be nominal. The advantages
are so manifold, as to need no COM
ment. The city could well afford
To have its engineer make prelimi-
nary survey and estimate of the
cost. Indian Creek is an eyesore to
tn town and If 1t can be abated at
reasonable cost, it would be a great
thing for Caldwell. Here Is an oppor-
tunity for the present administra-
ton to earn the eternal gratitude of
Caldwell.
