Editor Touched.

Retiring Editor Hunt of the Weiser
Signal went over to Bose to see the
circus few days ago, and at the
Idaho lodging house drew room
with a broken lock on the door.
Guileless and innocent, as all news
paper men are, he thought nothing
of this, but retired and reposed in
confidence. In the morning, alas,
he awoke to the painful knowledge
that he had been touched" by some
heartless wretch and fifteen dollars
he had been able to amass during his
year of service with the Signal, to-
gether with a seventy-five dollar
watch he had acquired in some pre-
vious business incarnation, had gone
the way of things that he possessed
no more. 1t is sad to lose the hard
earned savings of whole year at one
fell swoop, but the incident proves to
world that on rare instances, an edi-
tor may accumulate wealth. Brother
Hunt has our purse-felt sympathy

Ex.Mayor Put Vice on the Bum

Ross Madden, Caidwelfs first re-
form mayor, and who retired from
Office only few months ago, was In
Boise yesterday for a short visit.
During his administration of city
affairs the redlight district was abol-
ished In Caldwell and the habitutes
run out of town, the saloons regulat-
ed and disciplined. early closing
adopted and the Sunday closing law
enforced. The opposing element knew
what Ross, would do, and in his first
race for mayor they defeated him.
The second time. however. he was
elected and a reform council with
him.
The people there have become ac-
customed to the new order of things
and the reforms enforced by Mayor
Madden have been accepted now as
the only way.
Madden is an unpretentious look
ing little cuss, with q good-natured
friendly boyish appearance, like he
wanted to be on good terms with al
mankind, but underneath it all is Q
mighty strong will. All his friends

The Unitarians have no creed, but
the name itself indicates pretty we'll
what the people of that body of be-
levers hold.
Many ages ago the Father turned
his children loose upon the earth.
He gave them boundless opportu-
nifty for growth and improvement.
But his children gathered on thought
sands in their play and, forming into
groups. each groups fenced itself
from the others and thus creeds were
born. Each group in its play feels
that it controls the sacred ground of
truth. In each of these play grounds
the boundaries of truth are defined
both of the known and the unknown.
and woe is he who is fenced out. The
Unitarians have proposed In their
hearts to believe that there is but
one God, even the Father, and pre-
sumo to define his relations with his
children, and the relations that exist
ed and does exist between the Father
and Jesus Christ, to what degree the
Bible Is to be accepted as truth, etc.
And. of course. while they are wont
to deny 1t, they also have erected
barriers OF sand And the great
Father of all benignantly abserving
the enjoyments of his children whts-
pers to himself. Let the children
amuse themselves so long as they
harm no one. The people OF Cald-
well are a kind liberal people-lke
the Atheians of old they are eager. to
learn of any new thing. and We ex-
pect they will all try to hear Rev.
Mitchell and take a peep at religions
truth at his angle. If they do they
they will broaden their vision.

Question Settled.

The Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line will shortly publish rate
of Sc per ton on soft coal from Mis-
souri, river points, that is Omaha, ST.
Joseph, Kansas City, to alb points in
Idaho, effective at the earliest legal
date. The interstate commerce com
mission have been asked by wire for
authority to put the rate in effect on
short notice, the statutory require
ment being thirty days. There is a
large number of coal producers in
the territory just east of the Missouri
river that are ready to ship coal on
this basis, The list of these pro
ducers. will be sent to all agents OF
the Oregon Short Line for distrubu.
ton to the dealers and consumers.
The cost of laying this coal dowr
at Missouri river points is SO per ton
so that the total cost to Idaho points
will be 50 per ton; as to what The
dealers will charge is problematlcal
but as individuals can procure thi'
50 rate and can lay in large suppl,
by combining their orders. the deal
ers will not be in position to hold NJ
consumers. This Is one of the mos
important developments in the fue

the following letter from the post
office department. This letter is self
explanatory.
Washington, D. c., August 9, 1907.
Mr.. H. r. Cleaver,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Sir:
With further reference to your
letter of the 18th ultimo,
with which you transmitted Pc
tition for the establishment of city
delivery at Caldwell, you are inform
ed that while the revenues of the
post Office for the last fiscal year
were $1O,623.31, $S74.40 of this
amount was for box rents. If city
delivery We're established this source
of revenue would decrease
and the receipts of the post
office would undoubtedly fall below
the required $lO,0O0.O0. 1t is not
therefore deemed advisable to take
favorable action on the application
at this time.
Respectfully,
G. P. GRANDFIELD
