Gov. CRAWFORD claims that the leg
islature reduced passenger rates from
three to two cents and half. The pro-
ceedings of that body show that the
railroad commissioners as a board were
given power to reduce the rates to that
figure, but the people continue to paw
three cents per mile Lake Preston

"The board of railway commission

of charges for the transportation of
passengers" Provided, that

In the face of the statute can anv-

J. H. Lowell is in receipt of the
following letter from D. w. Ross.
the supervising engineer of the Re-
clamation department of the Paw
ette-Boise project. The interior de-
partment has recently issued a nine
page circular on the Truckee-Carson
project in which much valuable in
formation is given to home-seekers
regarding lands under that project,
such as the number of acres of land,
the size of the canals and bitches, al
titude, soil, climate, and productive
ness of the country and in fact all
information which would be of in
terest to the home-seeker. Mr.. Low
ell desires that the settlers under
the Paytte-Boise project formulate
such questions as they desire to have
answered. submit to the government
representative when he arrives.

to forget, for it is the original Ben
Davis" Then he informed Mr.. Ba-
ker that he had bought the farm
from a Mr. Ben Davis, who told him
that years before he had called the
attention of Mr.. Campbell, a horti-
culturist of Delaware, O., to the ap-
PIE. He said that he was more in
terested in grapes than in apples and
turned the matter over to some nur-
seryman, who purchased the tree, or
rather the right to take gratis from
it, requiring Mr.. Davies to keep Sc
cret the identity of the tree. We
find that this tree has been so wide
ly spread that there are already sew
eral accounts of it's origin.
The general manager of one of the
largest nurseries and orchard com
panies in the United States has seen
the article on apples and writes us
that he has made a study of them
for thirty years. He sends us a pro-
found treatise upon the Ben Davis
apple, and several others. A section
of it can be found in the department
of Wise and Otherwise. The little
story contins the names of eighty
one varieties of apples. DR.. Homer
j. Smith, of Ohio, says that the Ben
Davis apple originated on the farm
of his maternal grandmother's bro
Their, in Fayette County, Pa. 1t was
the early part of the last century.
There are three reasons for its wide
distribution. First, it is very pro-
First, it grows almost
everywhere. Second, it is very pro-
ductive. Third, it is a beautiful ap-
pie, of dark red color, with bloom
on the fruit like a grape, and its
color makes it a good seller. He
alleges some defect in the apple,
which we will let our readers find if
they can. He closes his note with
the old rule that "The apple eaten
raw is golden in the morning, silver
at noon, and lead at night. Green's

Stabbed Three Times.

A disagreeble stabbing ARRAY oc-
Cured last Saturday night about
midnight at Campbell & Gartin's
livery barn in which Louis Pane. a
young man in the employ of D. G.
Ruby. received three stabs in his left
breast, one of which came near
reaching his heart. His clothing
was considerably slashed up. The
attack was made by Ross Dement,,
who has been in the employ of Camp
bell 4 Gartin. The only person pres
eht besides Dement, and Pape, was
Ed Dement,. All three of the men
were more or less under the infiu-
ence OF whisky. 1t is learned that
the difficulty arose over which should
have the pleasure of Ed Dement'S
company for the remainder of the
night. Ross wanted to take him and
Pape wanted that he should share
MS bed. The result was that both
men became angry and the first
thlng Pape knew he was stabbed.
he walked across the street to the
cigar and pool room in the Lowell
steunenberg-Jackson building and
was taken from there to the hospi-
tai where his wounds were dressed
he Is still in the hospital and grad
ually improving. A warrant has
been sworn out for Ross Dement'S
arrest and Sheriff Thorp is now look
ing for him and as Bill always gets
what he goes after the chances are
that he will have his man in short
time.

The New Bank.

1t is now fully decided that there
will be another bank opened in
Caldwell. S. d. Simpson, who re-
Gently retired from the cashiership
of the Western National Bank, has
his arrangements all complete, so far
as the financial part of the business
is concerned, to open another bank.
the lobby of the Saratoga Hotel has
been leased and the work of fitting
up the room will soon be commenced.
The furniture, including safes, have
been ordered. The plan of the Or
ganizers is to get as many small
stockholders interested as possible,
thus making the institution a "peo-
pies" bank. Mr.. Simpson has met
with no trouble about securing peo-
pie who will take stock, in fact, he
finds just the reverse, one party Of
fered to subscribe for all that was
left, while another wired him that
he would take $4,000 worth of the
stock. But Mr.. Simpson says there
will be no large holders of stock as
he is of the opinion that it will be
much better for the general good,
to have a large number interested,
than for only six or seven men to
own the entire stock.
The bank when open for business
will have connections with some of
the strongest financial institutions in
the country, and that, together with
Mr.. Simpsons experience as ban
ker, should place the new concern on
a sure footing, from the day the
doors are first opened.

1t Is All Of.

The ball game Sunday was an eye
opener to the baseball department
of Caldwell. Nothing like it had
ever happened to the Caldwell bunch
before. The game was played at the
fair grounds between the Weiser and
Caldwell teams. 1t was clearly dem
onstrated that in order to success
fully play ball there must be some
practise work. Under the present
conditions three members of the team
reside at Nampa, one or two are
working on lateral construction on
Deer Flat, and the remainder reside
in town. The Weiser team are hus-
ky, active fellows and all know the
game. The score was 10 to 0. Our
boys have goose eggs that will last
them the remainder of the season.
A meeting was held Monday night
at the Commercial Club rooms for
the purpose of discussing the advisa-
bility of Strengthening the team and
continue in the league or disband for
the season. 1t was decided to follow
the latter course, which means no
more league games this season at
Caldwell. The business men of Cald-
well are willing to contribute a rea-
sonable amount to assist in maintain
ing team here, but the local con-
ditions are so much different from
what they ever have been before that
practically the entire team would
have to be on salary and that would
be too heavy burden for the city.
Regarding Sundays game, it has
been reported that the umpire was
not fair in his decisions, this is not
the general opinion. 1t was painful
ly evident from the opening of the
game that the Weiser team was much
the stronger team and the decisions
OF the umpire had but little to do
with the final results of the game.

We Still Have It.


A meeting of the directors of the
Caldwell lnterurban was held Tues
day night, in the Commercial Club
rooms, for the purpose of discussing
the financial and physical condition
of the road. The Caldwell Interur-
ban, like all trunk lines, has had its
ups and downs, but in this case 1t
has been mostly downs. In the first
place the road was built and operat-
ed by local capital, none of the off,
GERS ever having had experience in
building or operating railroads. At
ter the road had been operated for
year or more, representatives of
the Boise Valley Electric r. r. made
overtures for the purchase of the
line, negotiations proceeded until all
preliminaries had been arranged. and
only needed the signatures of the Of
ficers to consumate the deal. This
was finally accomplished, when Robt.
Noble. w. N. Donaldson, DR.. Ustick,
and Judge ]. B. Oldham came to
Caldwell, signed the papers and took
charge of the property. At the time
the road was turned over to the
Boise aggregation there was about
$500 in the treasury. After having
possession for about six months,
there was not a cent in the treasury
but about $4,000 of debts had been
incurred, and now they refuse to
comply with their contract. Mr.. No
BILE having recently sent a letter to
F. ]. Smith, the attorney for the
road notifying him that negotiations
were off. This announcement was
the cause of the meeting being called
Tuesday night. Messrs. Noble and
Donaldson were present, armed with
Attorney Pickett, and ready and
willing to participate in the proceed
ings, but the board of directors
thought differently. The Boise gen.
tlemen were told that they would be
NSoSo 40 thCS were NOT directors
in good standing.
The result of the meeting is
that the case will be taken into court
for adjudication. Merchants and
Others who have bills against the
Idaho Construction Company, will |
place them in the hands of collectors
The experience will doubtless have
a beneficial effect on some of the
Caldwell financiers and the next time
they will know better thin to rely on
some mems word. However, as the
Boise Valley crowd were to exchange
bonds on their system for the Cald-
well Interurban stock. there will be
no great loss, other than the funds,
which were in the treasury.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-05-16

as it has since transpired that there
is mortgage of $4,000 on each
mile of the road thus far built, con-
sequently so far as security is con-
cerned, the Caldwell crowd are bet
ter off with their ''Interurban" than
they would be with bonds on a road
already mortgaged for about all it
is worth.
