K. P. SPREAD.

There was a highly interesting ses- sion of the Knights of Pythias at the Odd Fellows hall Tuesday evening. A class of seven candidates was initiated into the mysteries of the rank of knight and following this ceremony. there was another equally as interesting session in the banquet room. After a liberal repast had been done full justice. ci- gars were passed around and an hour of informal and unprepared talks were listened to. Nearly every knight was called upon and most of them respond ed. There were several visiting broth CTS present. The K. P. lodge in Tempe has made a remarkable growth since its institution less than a year ago and has almost doubled it's member ship in that time. It now ranks as one of the strongest if not the strongest lodge in town.

MAKING REPAIRS
>>,>. AT COUNTY JAIL

At the suggestion Of Sheriff Thorp,
the commissioners made an examina-
ton of the floor of theN1ail and found
it in a rotten condition. 1t appears
that when the floor was put down that
a covering of sheet iron was laid over
the joist, then the floor was put down
so as to leave an air space. This
naturally held all the dampness which
came from scrubbing and cleaning the
interior, until the accumulated hlth
became so rotten that the stencil be-
came almost unbearable. When the
commissioners discovered these con-
ditions they Immediately made ar
rangements to have a new floor put
down. Stone and gravel will be put
in and then the entire space will be
covered with cement, thus making the
place both sanitary and safe. During
the time the improvements are being
made, the prisoners are being held at
Boise. The cost for keeping will be
no greater at Boise than it is at Cald-
we'll. 1t will probably be ten days be-
fore the work on the Jail is finished.

STATE Land SALE
IS CALLED OFF

The state land board has cancelled
the sale of lots at the Payette Lakes,
which was to have taken place next
month. The reasons assigned for the
change was that the ground as now
plated would interfere with the gov
eminent project of impounding the
waters of the lakes. The plans OF the
government engineers was to lower
the outlet some fifteen feet and con-
struct a dam Of sufficient height to
raise the water fifteen feet higher
than it now is. With this accom-
plished there would be difference OF
thirty feet in the rise and fall OF the
water, and If the lots should be sold
according to the present survey, their
length would be curtailed about 80
feet. The state board will doubtless
perfect such arrangements as will OBJ
viate the present objections and the
sale will be held later, but perhaps
not this year.

MILK C0NDENSARY IS
NOW ASSURED Caldwell

At a meeting of the men who have
in charge the matter of securing a
milk condensary for Caldwell, held at
the Commercial Club rooms, Wednes-
day, the committee to secure cows
made it's report. Messrs. ]. e. More
land, ]. 7. Thorp and Sam Vassar
comprised this committee. They have
worked hard and faithfully. They re-
ported 2S1S cows signed. Only 1000
were required. The committee was
heartily congratulated, and everybody
feels assured that the milk conden-
sary will be secured. Messrs. J. B.
Gowen and H. d. Andrews guaran-
teed the condensary If the COWS were
contracted There is now no doubt
but the cows will be on hand, nor that
| the condensary will be secured. BY
getting this industry started Caldwell
has once again shown her energy anc
enterprise. There seems to be ne
doubt that the condensary will prove
of inestimable value to the farmer!
and dairymen. Letters received from

PLACE runs into
MOB OF BOISE
CHINAMEN

Col e. r. Place, the general man
ager for the Golden Gate route, had a
narrow escape Wednesday from a mob
of Cinnamon in Boise, and all be-
cause of his generosity in trying to
play Roosevelt, in settling dispute.
1t was learned from wireless dis
patch that while enroute from Nampa
to Boise Wednesday, Chinaman on
the car paid his fare, and as is the
custom, he received rebate check for
25 cents, but not knowing its value
he insisted that the conductor had
held him up for two bits extra. The
Con. plead with the Colonel to come
to his assistance, knowing that he
could talk Chinese like native, but
when the general manager commenced
making signs, the Celestial became
more insistant for his two-bit piece,
until finally the Colonel cashed the
check, and thought his troubles were
over, but not so. The Chinaman chung
to him closer than brother. He
wanted to go somewhere, but his bene-
factor didn't know where. At last
some one suggested that the Caldwell
man take his charge to Chinese wash
house near by, and turn him over to
his own people. The Colonel snapped
at the suggestion like trout at a fly
On arriving at the wash house the
Colonel endeavored in his graphic
manner to explain the situation, bu
the entire outfit raised such how
that the Colonel made his escape tt
, the street, and fortunately, run int
, the arms Of Mayor Haines, demanding
: to know If a man had any protection
in Boise. After few minutes Mayo
| Haines got Colonel Places nerves
quoted down and when last seen the.

HEPBURN and LOCAL OPTION
CARRY IN ADA COUNTY

The Ada county republican conven-
ton, held Wednesday, was the real ar
ticle. Never in the history of the coun-
ty was there a convention which was
run with more smoothness. The ar
rangements for starting the machine
had all been prepared beforehand,
consequently when Chairman Gibson
was called to the chair there was not
a bur to tighten, the belts were all on
and all that was necessary was to
press the button. One feature in par
ticular, which entities the inner circle
to more than passing notice, is the
fact that while they had absolute con-
troll of the convention, they selected
a few of the opposition as delegates to
the state convention, but first pledged
them to support local option and one
or two other measures. 1t is usually
the case that the successful party
shows disposition to give no quar-
ter and by so doing, the victory is
robbed of half it's fruit, but not so in

CALDWELL
ARTESIAL We'll

The city council have contracted
with Henry Cox to put down six
inch we'll on the following terms: The
first 400 feet. $2.S7h; below that
depth to 600 feet, $3.50, unless sufi-
ciant quantity OF water is secured be-
fore the maximum depth is reached,
1t is the opinion that a gusher viii be
opened up at much less depth than
600 feet, perhaps at half that distancsb
The present wells afford an abundance
of water, but as Caldwell Is always
after the best, 1t was decided to put
down a we'll as an experiment and II
found successful sufficient number
will be put down to furnish water for
the entire city. II the saloons are to
be closed next year, the council feels
1t is their duty to furnish an abund-
ance of pure water for the citizens.

THE CITY Will
Stone quarry

A very interesting meeting OF the
Caldwell Commercial Club was held
Thursday evening. The meeting was
for the purpose of securing the sense
of the club in regard to the city pur-
chasing the stone quarry north OF
town. Mr.. Cupp stated that the quarry
could be secured for $1,000 cash, and
that by the sale of the old city hall
lot, the city would have more than
enough funds to make the purchase.
After some discussion it was decided
that the city should make the pur-
chase. President Lowell appointed
Messrs. D. D. Campbell, ]. B. Forbes
and H. A. Griffiths a committee to act
in conjunction with the city council
in the matter. This committee was in
structed to act at once.
Other important matters, such as
the condensary. market day and the
securing of the headquarters OF the
Payette-Boise project were discussed.
Appropriate committees were duly
discussed.

Mining ACTIVITY
GREAT AT PEARL

HI. w. Dorman has returned from
the mining camp of Pearl, and reports
the camp as being little quiet, owing
to the closing down of the Lincoln and
Black Pearl mines and mills.
The citizens of Pearl, who are we'll
acquainted with the above two prop
critics and their past management, are
not taking the matter very seriously,
as they fully realize the cause of the
shutdown, and know it is not due to
any failure of the mills or mines.
There is much more activity in the
camp than appears at first glance. ].
c. Johnson, owner of the Alexander on
the Rock Creek slope, has installed
25-horsepower gasoline engine, and is
sinking the old shaft deeper. At the
2O0-foot level he will cross-cut for the
vein. This property has produced more
wealth for it's development than any
other claim in the camp, hence its de-
veiopment will be watched with much
interest.
Adjoining this property Is the !. x.
L., upon which large tunnel is being
driven. This is the longest tunnel In
the camp. On the same hill Is the FL
Paso mine, operated by the Granite
State Mining Co., who have a tunnel
over 1000 feet in length, cutting sew
eral large ore bodies. This property
is making an elegant showing.
The old reliable Checkmate is being
operated by local people through
tunnel, and they have a very fin
showing of ore in two drifts.
The leasers on the old Levan GROUP
now owned by the Dewey estate, ar
taking out some very rich ore, whicl
is characteristic of this hill.
The whitman people have been dc
yeloping the LeFiathan group for tn
past few years and have one of tn
greatest gold mines in southern Idaho
They are installing a Hathaway mill
recent invention-which gave gres
results upon their ore tested In cal
load lots In Denver. This mill Is n
markable for It's simplicity and II
proves a success, many more like
will be installed.
Mr.. Dorman did not visit the min'
on the river in the Pearl district, b,
was told that there was considerab
activity on the river. Mr.. Dorman ]
: Gated in the Pearl district in the ye'
1895, and has operated there cont
pppsly. He proved his faith in Il
camp by the many years he has stay
with It, and says, that district in t
near future will prove to be a big pr

this case. There was just sufficient
number provided for as will take the
sting from defeat and leave the party
in excellent fighting trim for the cam
paign.
The resolutions are all right. The
local option plank, the direct primary,
and the nomination of Senator Hey
burn are three planks which will meet
with the approval of the rank and file
of the party and will draw from the
opposition. The fact that no endorse
ments for state officers was made,
again shows the sagacity of the circle.
Had-an attempt to endorse been made,
the chances are that there would have
been a scrap and no real good accom-
plished. The conditions in Canyon
county are such that there is no need
for a machine. The party is practi-
cally united on the issues as laid down
by the Ada county convention, unless
it is decided to go Ada one better by
declaring for straight prohibition.

Bright Prospects.

Mr.. ]. e. Moreland, one of our prom
inent farmers was in Caldwell We'd
nesday. Mr.. Moreland says the pros
poets for the condensary are bright.
There are a great many more cows in
the country than they reported, he
says. In making the canvas a great
many were unavoidably overlooked.
He is confident the condensary will be
a great thing for the country. He
spent his own money and time in can
vassing. He will furnish $50 or zoe
COWS in case the factory is secured.

Letters from brokers and merchants
Of Forest Grove, Oregon, say that the
is one of the most val
liable assets of that community. The
farmers there are we'll pleased. From
s25 900 to $35, 900 is dispersed month
ly at that point among the farmers
and dairymen. Land has increased in
value from $40 to 500 since the estab-
lishment of the industry. Everybody
is more prosperous than ever before.
Mr.. j. e. Moreland has contracted
the greatest number of cows of any
one man. He has signed for rs.
Other prominent farmers have signed
for various numbers, from 80 cows
down. 1t is noticeable that the most
progressive farmers have contracted
the greatest number. This may be
accounted for by the fact that they
usually have more animals. Alto
gether, the dairymen have taken up
with the idea of factory and showed
| their willingness to do their part. II
