nurse from Chicago, who agreed 70
furnish and conduct the hospital pro-
Vided they would give her the place
rent free. The results more than
justified their expectations as the
rooms have been full almost from the
start. After trying the experiment
six months to see that the sama re-
suits would continue, Miss Cummings
felt justified in paying the rent her
self and adding another section of
rooms SO that she could throw the
institution open to all the regular
physicians. Henceforth instead of
sending Caldwell money to outside
places the situation should be revers-
ed and the places tributary to Cald-
well will soon be contributing to the
support of the Caldwell hospital.
''This section of Idaho is fast get
ting reputation in the East for fine
Winter Apples, and we should use
our best endeavors to the extension
of fruit growing, and especially in
this section adapted to the growing
of Winter Apples. Lands in the Yak
ina, Hood River and Grand Junction
countries are selling at from $500 to
$1,000 per acre which are no better
than our lands, but they have the
reputation.
Il am informed that within a few
miles of this city there is a very large
| deposit of the best tile clay In the
West, this is something that should
be looked into at once, for this is
natural product that is extensively
used, and by proper inducements
thrown out some outsidec capital might
be induced to develope this industry.
Near this city is large deposit
of fine China clay. I sent a sample
of this away to be analysed, and from
the report I received, this will some
day be very valuable, this should be
investigated.
1T seems to me that this Club
could not do anything better than to
enlist capital for the development of
our natural resources.
I would recommend that this
Club give its hearty support to Pay
ette-Boise Water Users Assn, in it's
scheme to advertise and settle the
lands under its project. But outside |
OF that one scheme I would recon-
mend that extensive advertising be
discontinued, and that we use our
best efforts. and what money we can
raise for the locating of Canning Fac
tories, Vinegar and Cider Mills,
Fruit Evaporator and such enterpris-
es as will manufacture the natural
products of this section.
During the past season several
farmers have called upon me COM
planning that they could not sell at
all times their produce. It appears
to me that there ought to be estab-
lished in this city commission
house with capital enough to buy at
all times all kinds of vegetables and
poultry, also, the handling of baled
hay There is nothing that will help
general busienss any more than good
markets for all the farmers produce.
We have been in correspondence {
with parties in the East, regarding
the locating of wholesale grocery
store at Caldwell. From the amount
of business that has been going to
other cities in the past year it would
look to me as tho this city ought to
have such an institution for Caldwell t
has the natural advantages as a dis {
.ributing point. /
Three of the largest manufacture
ing concerns of Farm Implements
Ind Vehicles in the United States.

md Eastern Oregon, this will very :,
aid to advance Caldwell
commercial interests and aid in the .

seems that this Club could not en- "
10y its means and influence to bet
er advantage than making this city N
jobbing center. In September, last F
ear, The National Irrigation Con-
ress met at Sacramento, Calf, sew c
raj of the business men of this city D
net and concluded that this city
ught to be represented. AS a result H
that meeting. Mr.. N. s. Miller was
ppointed as a delegate to represent l
aldwell. Mr.. Miller was given
beral amount of advertising matter If

ere very satisfactory, we have re- I
lived good many letters of inquiry Al
