Tons Of Chinese Hair.

New York, June ga ton of Chi
nese hair for the rats" of American
women, formed part Of the cargo of
the big freighter Wray Castle, which
has just arrived from the Orient. The
hair came from the heads of Chinese
bandits, who had been beheaded, and
is valued at more than 5000.
Enough of this hair is on board the
Wray Castle to provide thousands OF
American girls with the necessary
Filling" and great care was taken on
the freighter to keep 1t from exposure
Of any sort that might spoil 1t for
the market in the United States.
Hardly had the consignment of Chi
nese hair been brought to the Ameri-
can docks on Staten Island before the
British steamship Seneca arrived at
quarantine with % cases of Chinese
pigtails which, a ccording to Captain
Grimes, were collected in Chinese
cemeteries by crafty American, who
collected the gruesome souvenirs for
profit, In three months plumber of
Chinese burial grounds.
"The gathering OF hair in China,
said Captain Grimes, sis quite an in
dustry, as when q Chinaman is buried
he is placed in hole in the ground
in an upright position with the head
sticking out Of the ground. The head
is closely shaved except for the pig
tail. The Chinese believe that their
big joss comes around in the might
and takes the soul of the buried one tc
heaven by the pigtail.
After the first visitation of the
American the brothers and sisters Of
the buried Cinnamon reported that tbs
joss had been busy with their relative.
and were contented In the belief tina
the joss had lifted the souls to HEAVIER
by the missing pigtails."

TO CONDEMN
STARTED BY RAILROAD

The" San Francisco, Idaho & Mon-
tana railway Co. was compelled to
commence condemnation proceedings
ia oraer to get the rlght-of-way
through the lands of Messrs. Rowland
and Rhodes. The property lies be-
tween Homedale and Greenleaf. 1t
appears that when the survey for the
road was first made the right-of-way
was purchased from the party who
was then one of the claimants, but
who afterwards sold his relin-
punishment to the present owner.
The railway company neglected
to file their REIMBURSEMENT for
the right-of-way before the new
owners had their filings of record in
the land Office, consequently. it was up
to the company to make some ar
rangements with the present owner.
This they endeavored to do. They Of
fered each of the two claimants $50

hibition to the Spokane exposition was
discussed with the result that N. S.
Miller was instructed to Investigate
the subject and report at some future
meeting.
Mr.. F. o. Mahan, formerly of Grand
Junction, Colo, was present and made
talk on the. possibilities of fruit
culture in Boise Valley. The gentle
man is evidently an expert on horti-
culture and is not backward in max
ing criticisms on the conditions as he
finds them here. He urges the fruit
growers to organize fruit growers
association for the purpose of pur-
chasing trees and getting uniform va
rieties. Mr.. Mahan has recently pur-
chased land in this valley and will
permanently locate here, and is just
the kind of men who are needed in
this valley to make it one of the great
est fruit countries in the northwest.

is no reasonable doubt. ~
While there was not as many of the

there should have been, yet those who
were there were evidently in earnest.
Messrs. Morland and Thorp were APP

The postmaster at Caldwell has re-
ceived a communication from the
postoffice department stating that 60
per cent of the patrons of the r. F.
route must pledge themselves to pur-
chase a mail box of some approved
pattern, otherwise the route will not
be operated. This question came up
in connection with Route No. 3, soon
to be established on the north side of
Boise river.
Big Celebration at Star July Fourth.
The people of Star have the ar
rangements all made for a big cele-
bration at that place the Fourth. A
fine program has been arranged and
the big doings will start at 1880 with
a big parade and there will be some
thing doing every minute for the rest
of the day and evening. A large tent
has been obtained to hold the speaking
and other exercises in and to provide
shade for the large crowd that will
be present. One of the best features
of the sports will be a steer-roping
contest, in which five persons will
take part. There will be many other
sports and some good purses are Of
fered. Star is noted for its fine cele-
brations and this year is prepared to
show the people better time than
ever before. Many from Caldwell are
going to spend the day at the little
city of Star and no doubt will have
an enjoyable time.

failure, for they are not, but on the
other hand, they have been success.
These sales days have brought large
number of people to this town, many
of whom would never have formed
business acquaintance had it not
have been for the sales days. The
people found that they could buy
goods to much better advantage
here than at other towns where they
had been trading. The result is that
our merchants have gained many per-
manent customers. But, to refer to
the cause of the probable discontin-
uance of market day. The only cause
for disseminating is, that the burden is
carried by three or four business men;
that is, SO far as the work is con-
cerned. The same committee has been
in continual service. They not only
contribute funds, but they have given
their time from their business The
result is that unless they receive as
sistance, they will refuse to act fur
Their as committeeman. 1t is now up
to the business men to see that assist
ance Is forthcoming, or market days In
Caldwell will be thing of the past.
The above statements are not
visionary, but are facts which can be
verified by the members of the COM
mittee. And the statement is again
made that it is up to the business
| men.

Marriage Licenses

The run on the clerks Office for
marriage licenses continues. The fol-
lowing couples have been authorized
to unite in the holy bonds of matri-
mony during the past week: Louis
Lent and Anna Mcbride, of Parma;
Marion Hurst and Anna Smith of New
Plymouth; Phillip johnson and Mrs.
Florence Johnson, of Boise. This is
the second time that this couple have
been embarked on the sometimes
troublesome sea of matrlmony. They
were once married, and afterwards di-
vorced. The groom then married a
second time, was divorced, and now is
again married to the woman who was
his first bride. There is no telling
what some fellows will do. The last
to sign up was Delbert Soper, of
Greenleaf, and Grace Izora LEVEL of
Homedale.

This was refused. 1t was then pro-
posed that the case be arbitrated, but
when the arbitrators met, Messrs.
Rowland and Rhodes refused to stand
by the agreement, but asked $500, al
though the rights had been paid for in
good faith to the then owners of the
land, before they would permit the
right-ofway to be cleared of
sagebrush. The company then COM
menced legal proceedings, in the dis
trict court. Judge Bryan appointed
Nathan Dills, A. F. Hart and N. s.
Miller appraisers. These gentlemen
awarded the defendants $25 in one
cose, and $50 in the other. The COM
pany paid the money into court, and
the work of clearing the right-of-way
is proceeding. 1t is said that the
owners of the land will appeal from
the decision of the arbitrators and the
case will go to jury.

The Tribune is authorized to make
the statement that it is now up to the
farmers whether condensary is es-
tabiished in Caldwell or not. If 1000
cows can be guaranteed, Messrs. An
drews and Gowen will pledge them
selves that condensary will be built
and operated in aCldwell. This state
ment does not mean to convey the
idea that 1900 cows to start with, and
then after month or two, this num-
Der may be reduced. to 1900, but it
means 1900 cows for one year. 1t can
readily be seen that the object is to
keep the condensary in operation the
year around. When 1t is realized that
1t will require an Investment of at
least $4,000 to establish and operate
a condensary Of $4,000 pounds daily
capacity. it will need no figuring to
determine why men who are going to
make the investment require a guar

WOOL SALES ARE
A Big SUCCESS

Ihe second wool sales Tor Calawen
this year was held Thursday. mere
was almost an enIlre new set OF buy
ers present, and prices onered were
very much better rnan those onered al.
the last sales day, and there was con-
siderable more wool changed hands.
1t is the opinion OF those who are
best informed that the Inauguration
OF the storage system at Omaha has
had something to do with the increase
in prices being offered. 1t is the pur-
pose OF the Idaho Wool Growers AS
ISOLATION to perfect arrangements be-
fore next years clips are ready for
market, SO that all VINO wish can load
their crop ON the cars at any point
and have it shipped direct to Omaha
for storage, and can draw on the b. L.
1t Is claimed that this ARRANGEMENT
will lessen the cost of handling the
wool for the grower and will, cut out
the expense of having the buyers come
west at heavy expense, all of which
the grower has to pay, indirectly, for
expenses are always reckoned in when
bids are submitted.
The prices paid were much more
satisfactory than those of the first
sale. This was evidenced by there
being 72S,442 pounds disposed of at
the following prices:
+. Parks & Pegram, 70 bags, $4,000
pounds, at 1880.
Andy Little, S43 bags, 313,466

HAGERMAN NEVER HAD
A BETTER APPLE CROP


Said J. J. Hagerman to a Record
representative Saturday afternoon:
"I have never seen prospects for a
great apple crop better at this time
of the season than Just now. l expect
my apple crop to be as large as the
largest in the history of the South
Spring ranch. / am not prepared to
talk of other orchards, however"
The favorable conditions are gen
eral While there are a few trees on
almost every farm that have a light
production Of apples, these are decij-
edly an exception, and unless some
thing yet destroys the apples there
will be a crop over the whole valley
that will equal the greatest ever
known in eastern New Mexico.
At a recent meeting Of the Horti-
cultural Board it was decided that
the next spraying should be done be-
tween the Sth and 18th Of June. There
are less worms this year than usual,
resulting from spraying il the past,
and for that reason it is more impor-
tant than ever that the spraying be
done this year to exterminate the
pests.

Confederate Memorial Service.


The memorial sermon preached yes
terday by Rev. John w. Smith at the
Methodist Church, South, to Confed-
crate Veterans a1d the Sons and
Daughters of the Confederacy, was
one of the ablest and most patriotic
sermons ever heard in Roswell.
About sixty veterans were present,
and with the Sons and Daughters, be-
sides many strangers and visitors
from other churches the capacity of
the building was taxed to it's utmost
The special musical program was
most pleasing feature of the service.
The Norvell-Croft Orchestra played
and among the hymns by the choir
were "Blest Be the Tie that Binds"
and Il Need Thee Every Hour" The
congregation assisted with great fer
vor in singing "My Country 'Tis of
Thee" The best of all the musical
mum bers, perhaps, was "The Blue and
the Gray" quartet by Mrs. W. M.
Bohannon, Mrs. J. L. Gibbany, Mr.
]. S. Kirby and Mr.. Sam Jones. There
were quite a number Of veterans who
wore the Blue seated with those who
wore the Gray, and both were pleas
ed with the music and the sermon.
A vocal solo, Lead Kindly Light"
by Miss Olivia Ledbetter, was a veri-
table benediction of sweetness.
Before commencing his address
Rev. Mr.. Smith read some statistics
in regard to Valverde Camp No. 1491
United Confederate Veterans. The
camp in Roswell was commissioned
and chartered March 20, 1902. The
following named members have died

The sermon breathed the spirit of
the New South as we'll as the old
South, and dealt with the reunited
spirit of the greatest nation in the
world 1t touched the heart as well
as the brain, and contained not
word of bitterness or OF buncombe.
Mr.. Smiths topic was AGlories
Following Loss and Defeat" and the
lessons drawn were fit for practical
application to every day life and
good citizenship.
