Prominent VISITORS.

q. ID. Day OF Seymore, Wis, was
in Caldwell Wednesday in company
with G. Otto and s. Trowbdidge of
Mr.. Days home town. These gen.
tlemen came west with the first
homeseekers excursion this month
for the purpose Of spying out the
promised land. The party stopped
at Mt. Home and Nampa before COM
ing to Caldwell. but owing to the
misleading statements made by one
of the leading real estate firms of
Nampa, it is very doubtful If any of
the party decide to locate in Canyon
County. One of the members of this
firm of knockers is also one of the
directors of the Payette-Boise Water
Users Association and should be q
booster instead of a knocker. One
of the statements made by this de-
lectable crowd was that the bank of
the lower dam at the reservoir might
break and thus food all the adjoin-
ing country; another statement was
that when the reservoir Is filled the
water would come to the serface by
pressure and thus ruin the vast coun-
try below the reservoir. II the gen.
tleman really believes either of the
above statements it Is his duty as
an officer of the association to inform
the public or at least those settlers
who may be in danger of being flood
ed and not continue to stab the set
tiers on Deer Flat land incidentally
hundreds of others) in the back. The
residents of that section of country
will not feel kindly towards the busi-
ness men of the thriving city of Nam
pa for fostering a nest of bushwhack
ers in their midst. whose sole object
is to enrich themselves at the expense
of the man who is striving to carve
for himself a home in the richest
tract of land in Canyon County.
The Tribune desires to state that
this Is not the first time that the
above statements have been made to
prospective settlers and 1t is time
that the people of this particular Sec
ton Of country were informed of the
methods being used by some of the
highbinders in the real estate bust
ness at Nampa. The Tribune does
not believe that the substantial busi-
ness men of the Junction City en-
dorse or foster such bushwhacking
methods for as a class the business
men are the equals of any other city
In the State and for that reason they
should not be held responsible for
the utterances or a coterie of knock
ers In their midst.
Mr.. Day Is cousin of Miss Cora
B. Bean, the present county super
intendent. and Is Mayor of his home
city and is also an extensive imple-
ment dealer. His two companions
are prominent farmers, Mr.. Otto be-
Ing the proprietor of a large cream
cry, manufacturing 1000 pounds of
butter every day In the year; these
gentlemen are just the kind of people
we need to assist In the building up
of our County.

Old FavOrites



The BaiIiR's Daughter of Islington
There was youth, and well beloved
youth,
And he was an esquire's son;
He loved the bailiff's daughter dear
That lived In Islington.
She was coy, and she would not believe
That he did love her so,
No, nor at any time she would
Any countenance to him show.
But when his friends did understand
His fond and foolish mind,
They sent him up to fair London,
An apprentice for to bind,
And when he had been seven long years,
And his love he had not seen,
MANY tear have l shed for her sake
When she little thought of me-"
All the maids Of Islington
Went forth to sport and play,
All but the bailiffs daughter
She secretly stole away.
She put off her gown of gray,
And put OF her puggish attire.
She's up to fair London gone
Her true love to require.
AS she went along the road,
The weather being hot and dry,
There was she aware of her true love,
At length came riding by.
She stepped to him, as red as any rose,
And took him by the bride ring
i pray you, kind sir, give me one penny
To ease my weary limb"
Il prithee, sweet heart, canst thou tell me
Where that thou vast bornT
"At Islington, kind sir" said she,
where have had many a scorn."
Il prithee, sweet heart, canst thou tell me
Whether dost thou know
The bailiff's daughter of Islington~
"She's dead, sir, long ago."
"Then will 1 sell my goodly steed,
My saddle and my bow,
l will unto some far countree
Where no man doth me know"
20 stay, 0 stay thou goodly YOUTH,
She's alive, she is not dead;
Here she standeth by thy side,
And is ready to be thy bride"
20 farewell grief and welcome joyl
Ten thousand times and more,
For now l have seen my own true love
That l thought l should have seen no
more"

Since the earth is much farther from
the sun when it is summer in the
northern hemisphere and winter III the
southern than when the seasons are
reversed, it might be supposed that the
climate would be more extreme in the
southern half of the earth than it is in
the northern. The actual difference is
made slight by the fact that the pro-
portion of land to water is much great

There is no French law against

But said the judge OF instruction,

the river That Is Illegal"

vides for the punishment Of those
who cast dead, not living, bodies int
the river, else every one who wen
swimming in the Seine would be a
criminal"
But" said the Judge. you intended
to be dead. You had wickedly planned
to make of yourself an offensive
corpse and with that most loa,hsome
thing to corrupt the waters Of the
Seine fine you thousand francs

"Take 1t from the sum which was con
fiscated from my pockets by the police

were seated in chairs which had to be

pounds, was seated in the front row
After the meeting had been duly
