900 of which was raised in Caldwell
and very liberal amount being do
mated by citizens of Canyon County.
''The Canyon County Fair has been
firmly established in this city with
a total investment in new buildings
and 40 acres of land amounting in
round figures to $4,000. The stock
of the Association Is carried mostly
by members Of the Club.
During the past year there has
been thru the efforts of this Club
one new Rural Mail Route estab-
lished, and petitions for two more
routes have been obtained and will
be sent to the Department as soon as
the roads are completed; we have the
assurance from parties whom we
have been in communication with,
that there will be built in this city,
a condensed milk factory. costing not
less than $4,000, which will re-
quire the product of from two to
three thousand cows, and have a pay
roll of from thirty to forty thousand
dollars per mouth.
1--WE have also been assured from
parties in the East that they will be
here In the near future with the idea
in view of locating a canning factory,
vinegar and pickle works and an
evaporator for the drying of fruits.
I'VE are in communication with a
party who has a wooden mill and
securing plant in the State of Maine,
and it is my opinion that with very
little inducement. he could be in
duced to locate in Caldwell.
THE San Francisco, Idaho and
Montana Ry. has made good progress
during the past year, the grade being
nearly finished to Snake River and
the thousands of dollars that has
been spent on this line has all been
distributed among the different bus
mess houses of Caldwell.
do not believe that the members
of this Club and the citizens at large
of Caldwell realize the Importance
OF this line to this city. 1t will open
up vast territory contiguous to us,
which will call for the distribution
OF all kinds of merchandise from
this point, making Caldwell an i'm
portant junction point, and being the
means of helping to locate important
manufacturing plants here. This
company has done vast amount of
advertising thruout the U. s. and
Caldwell being the headquarters of
the company. it has done more than
any one factor in the advancement
Of this community. Every resident |
Of the city should give this company
their moral and financial support.
During the past year the Cald-
well and Boise Interurban Electric
Ry. has been completed to this point
and from my observation it has help
I'd the business interests of this city
% a great extent, and / wish to i'm
press upon each member of this Club
he Importance of each doing all in
lis power to further the interests of
his company, for by SO doing Cald-
veil can be made the electric CEN
or of Southern Idaho, as you know
ne company Is managed by a man |
'ho knows the needs, the resources {
this section and will do all In his
over to up-build the territory con- l
Iguous to his lines. !
The Caldwell Interurban Ry. was
Did, during 1907, to the Boise VAL
~ Railroad, which is being built G
ntirely by local capital. This road
now built within nine miles of this o
ty, and will, undoubtedly be COM c
leted to this point within the year; L
which event, will give us one more d
'pid transit line and open up a Sec o
on of rich farming country to our
erchants. During the past year the o
overnment experiment farm has te
zen established, and thru a commit 81
OF the Club, satisfactory arrange u
ents have been made for the trans II
and title to the lands comprising W
is farm. This committee has vet et
