This Club during the past seven
months has received over one thous-
and letters, and answered about
eight hundred, we sent out ten thous-
and copies of the booklet entitled,
Caldwell, the Magic City" also,
one hundred and fifty of the Sunset
Magazine" besides several hundred
copies of the local papers have been
sent to those who have asked for
the same. We have a mailing list
of $4,000 names of who are pros
pective settlers of Idaho.
During the past year there has
been received at this station two hun
dred and sixty-six cars of emigrant
goods, some of them containing the
belongings of two and three fami-
lies, and as many more have arrived
with their effects in less than car
loads, these people are now all set
tied on farms around this city, and
not small number of them were
attracted to this section by our ad-
vertising.
1t has been thought and there has
also been some talk of late by few
members of the Club, that it was
run entirely in the interest of a few
Real Estate men. Now In Justice
to the Real Estate dealers in this
city, want to say that in not a sim
gle instance has any Real Estate man
OF this city ever asked me to favor
him, either in correspondence, or in
any other manner, and in every in
stance when any one has written me
as Secretary to give them the names
OF reliable Real Estate dealers. I
have without exception given them
the names of all the dealers of the
city, and this is also true of every
inquiry I have had; if they asked
about Banks, l gave the names of
all of them; also the stores, lumber
yards, and SO on down the list.
1T has been intimated by a few
that l have used the office of Secre-
tary to further my own Real Estate
schemes, in answer to this 1 wish to |
say, during the past year l have not
tried to sell, nor have 1 shown any
real estate in which 1 am interested.
to any one not a resident of the CITY. |
Nor has there been any sold in which
was in any way interested, except
to parties who have ben residents of
Caldwell for more than a year. nor
have l In correspondence referred
any one to that in which I was per-
sonally interested.
The work of the Club has grown
to such an extent that it has been
impossible for me to attend to a
great deal that should have been
done, in consequence it has been ne
elected. A little quotation here from
John ]. Ingall might be applicable
