Change AT WESTERN NATIONAL

At the last regular meeting of the
directors of the Western National
Bank, Mr.. L. S. Ollie, formerly cash
Ter of the Caldwell Banking & Trust
Co., was elected to succeed Mr.. S..
D. Simpson, retired, and Mr.. Ernest
Boone was elected bookkeeper, sue
ceeding Mr.. H. B. Cosby.
Both of these gentlemen are we'll
known and highly respected old time
citizens of our community. We con-
graduate the Western National Bank
upon this accession to it's working
force.
Speaking of the affairs of the
bank, one of the directors said: 1--WE
have little to announce. Our dt'
| rectory is a unit in its determination
| to keep our institution a sound and
| conservative bank. It's growth has
| been the pride of our people and 6
deserved compliment to the direc
tors and stockholders, whose un
doubted character and business abili
ty Immediately gave the bank stand
ing and prestige in the community
1--WE expect to continue to meet tn,
demands of our patrons to the ex
tent of our ability and as far as ma,
be consistent with the protection o
our depositors.
THE intimation in another pape
that the retirement of Mr.. Simpson
might be due to the influence of an
one or two directors should be cor
rected. The board consisted O

Sales Day.

Monday was sales day in Caldwell
and as usual there was large crowd
in town, and the sales were very sat
isfactory. While the amount of stock
VS. not near SO large as at the April
sales, yet what was offered was
much better quality and all brought
good prices. People are beginning
to realize that it pays to bring good
stock; old broken down horses are
not wanted at any price, while good
ones sell readily at good prices, and
it is the same with all other articles.
If you have a wagon or buggy to sell
it pays to have it clean, it often hap.
pens that a coat of paint will make
a vehicle sell for more than enough
to pay for the extra expense. The
difficulties which have confronted the
managers at previous sales are now
about overcome. At this last sale
everything moved like clockwork
from the offering of the first bedstead
to the sale of the last horse.
There were 81 entries consisting
of thirty-four horses, five cows, two
wagons, five buggies, seven sets Of
harness, twelve separate lots o.
chickens, ten pigs, five implements
besides numerous household articles
The next sales day will be on JUNE
1st. All those who have anything tt
sell can have 1t listed by addressing

last mentioned, the action of the
board was unanimous and fully con-
sidered.
while change of this character
is a legitimate cause of comment
and discussion, we can assure all in
terested inquirers that the affairs
of the bank are in excellent condi-
ton; our stockholders are local peo-
pie and have been identified with
the development of this section for
many years. They represent the sub
stantial business intrests which have
always conferred at Caldwell and CIV

years and we know him to be ban

are glad to put so efficient and well
qualified man in charge. All

V. d. Hannah brought a curiosity
to the Tribune Office that beats any
thing of the kind ever seen by the
agricultural editor of this paper.
1t is stalk of Stowell's Evergreen
corn that has two we'll developed ears
of corn, both of which grew from one
joint. 1t is not uncommon to see
two or more ears on one stalk but
not growing from the same joint. Mr.,
Hannah will plant some of the grains
with the hope that he may propagate
new species and If successful he
will be greater beneficiary than

There Will Be Plenty Of Fruit This Season

LAST YEAR.-..APPLES, cherries and PRUNES Big CROP
PEACHES and APRIC0TS SLIGHTLY HURT BY FROST

Adam Blackstock, the Squaw creek
stockman, was in the city Tuesday.
He informs the Tribune that he is
about thru lambing and estimates
that he will have from IS to 900 in
crease. The season thus far has been
unusually good, but owing to the
scarcity of water on the range he
looks for short feed this summer.
Asked about his fruit prospects, he
said that none of his fruit was in
jured by the recent frosts and that
he would have big crop of all kinds
of fruit in his orchard. While here
he sold 12O head of cattle because
of the prospective shortage of the
hay crop.
H. D. Andrews says that the pros
poets for fruit on his ranch near No
tue was good, the frost had done but
little injury. Mr.. Andrews has 100
acres in alfalfa and says it is look
ing fine.
V. D. Hannah, one of the progress
sive farmers of this valley, was in
the city Tuesday. Mr.. Hannah is a
prominent sheep breeder living near
Notus. He said that he had splendid
success in Landing this season, get
ting considerably over 1000. He has
his lambs to come early, and is well
provided with shelter in case OF
stormy weather, but this spring has
been unusually free from storms,

Defamation Contest.

Caldwell, noted for the successes
in contests, was again victorious in
the defamation contest with Noun
tain Home Friday evening. The
Opera House was taxed to its fullest
extent to hold the crowd that came
to hear the pupils of the High School
in this, their first public appearance
All contestants did we'll in the pre-
sentation of their different parts and
the verdict of the judges was approx,
ed by all. After the contest a re
ception VS. held in Lavering Hal
where delicious ice cream, punch ant
cake was served. Those from Noun
tain Home left on the early morning
train.

consequently his lambs are looking
fine. He says that his fruit is about
all killed by the frost, owing to the
location of his orchard, his fruit was
much further advanced than most
orchards. Mr.. Hannah has just in
stalled a pumping plant for irrigat-
ing a piece of land which lays above
the ditch. He is throwing about rs
gallons per minute, taking the water
out of the Sebree Canal. He is very
much pleased with the way the plant
IS working and is of the opinion that
there will be several more plants put
in as soon as it is demonstrated that
it is a feasible proposition.
j. P. Wilson, living about four
miles east of Caldwell on the In
terurban, has one of the best kept
prune orchards in the county. He
says that his prunes are not hurt, but
his peaches and plums are consider
ably injured, his apples are all right.

Place came to the rescue and outlin-
ed a plan whereby the Club could get
10000 copies of fine booklet of SO

promptly referred to the finance COM
mittee. A communication was re-
ceived from the Forward Club re-
questing the Club to cooperate with
them in petitioning the city council
to have the streets and alleys clean
ed up. A committee was appointed.
The membership committee was re-
surrected and called on for report,
but they had none. A motion was
made and passed that they get a
move on. The very important prop
osition of securing a stewart was
about the last thing tackled. 1t appears
that there had been some dissatis-
faction over the present incumbent

regular meeting Tuesday night. The
meeting was we'll attended and

present. President Lowell presided
and is was a pleasure they way he
disposed of business.
One of the first things done was
to invite the Independent Telephone
Co. to donate a phone for the use of
the Club. The Traders Day COM
mittee made report which was sat
isfactory and the committee was con-
tinued. The secretary reported that
there was $S0.49 in the Traders Day
fund. A communication was receiv-
ed from the president of the State
meet in Caldwell sometime in Janu-
airy of next year, asking about what
prizes If any are to be offered either
by the Club or the business men. A
committee was appointed to attend
to the matter and inform tho asso-
citation regarding the amtter. A
number of other committees made
reports and some did not The fact
remains that the appointment of COM
mittees is evidently considered a
joke for with one or two exceptions
the reports are very brief. The old

"As the Republican convention
draws nearer it seems more apparent
than ever that Congressman Burton
L. French and Senator w. B. Hey
burn will be nominated for the posi-
lions they now hold. In fact, there
has been but little, If any, doubt at
any time that they would again be
nominees of their party. And why
not? No two men in the state could
take their places and do as much for
Idaho as they have done and can do.
Then, too, the nomination of
James H. Brady for governor seems
to be a foregone conclusion. No bet
ter man could be chosen for that posi-
ton than Mr.. Brady. In recent in
terview he declred himself heartily
in favor of direct primary law. But
Mr.. Brady has always favored a d.
rect primary.
THE writer was a member of the
| so-called insurgents in the Idaho leg
islature two years ago, and a direct
primary law was one of our tenets
of political faith. And while Mr.
Brady tried to bridge the breach In
the legislature, he never opposed g
direct primary law, or anything else
pledged in the Republican platform
On the contrary, he seemed anxious
thta every party pledge should be full
] filled. "-Potlatch Star.
