toward his mother who IL now con-
fined to her bed.

Again the financial panic came on

put the matter to the board Of county

test the legality of the bonds by TAX

If the bonds are found to be legal.
Mcdonald & Mccoy will either have
to purchase them as bid In, or for
felt their certified check for $500

accompanied their bid. II the bonds
are found to be illegal. 1t will neces-

represent the plaintiff, while o. M

Will be taken to the higher court al

CALDWELL BANKS SOUND.

The recent suspension OF the Capt.
tai State Bank of Boise naturally
calls attention to the condition OF
our Caldwell banks. The Capital
State was one of the largest and most
trusted institutions In this immediate
neighborhood. and many exclams-
lions of surprize were heard around
town when the report came of its
suspension. Expressions of regret
were upon every tongue.
But the one spirit to which Cald-
we'll owes much of her prosperity
and stability was once more in evil
dence. When the Boise bank sus-
pended payment nobody in Caldwell
could help but see what an evil in
fiuence 1t might exert in this part of
the country, but no uneasiness was
felt by either banker or depositor
People saw and understood and rea-
soned and regretted. but never for
on instant thought of withdrawing
anything from the banks. This spirit
of loyalty. to the town and its insti'
tutions, this burning desire to dc
that which will bring the greatest
good to the general public. is very
pronounced In Caldwell and adds
very largely to the prosperity Of thu
town. Caldwell has strong banks an
people all over the country. have per
feet confidence In their ability t
stand. This Is evidenced by tn
steady dow of outside money into tn
banks. The banks here have give
property service in panic times.

Mr. W. H. Dorman who has just
returned from the meeting of the
State horticultural Society at Pay
cite, says that the meeting was q
great success in every way and that
the attendance was all that could be
desired
Among the questions that, were
discussed WAS one that caused a very

the best inspection laws and the
best method Of enforcing them. The
debate on this lasted about four
hours and grew quite heated at
times. 1t Is hoped that the facts
brought to light in this argument
will result in the needed enforce
ment of existing laws.

to meet in Caldwell next year.

SMALLPOX NEAR PARMA.

The country around Parma is suf-
ferlng from an epidemic of smallpox,
according to Dr. Waldrop, the coun-
ty physician. There are twelve
cases In all. In two sheep camps. and
four residences. all of which of course
are closely quarantined. The worst
sufferers are the Higgins brothers,
who are sheep men from Washington
County. They are feeding their
sheep at the Raymond ranch, two
miles from Parma and one of them
is suffering terribly from the effects
of the disease, with every chance that
the other two brothers will catch it
as neither of them have been vacci-
mated.
In a sheep camp on the Roswell
Bench there Is another suffer
or battling for his life with such mea-
ger comforts as a ragged tent affords
and no one to nurse him save his
fellow herder. Think of it, you who
complain II you have to dress In a
room where the temperature Is less
than sixty-think what 1t means to
lie on a pile of straw on the hard
damp ground, with nothing but
sheet of canvas between you and the
elements, the meantime battling with
one of the most loathsome disease:
known to mankind-try to imagine
what It Is like--and, maybe, you will
appreciate what small pox in CAM
means.
Ten other sufferers are already re
covering from the disease In fou
residences. located from two to fou
miles from Parma, and 1t Is though
that the diligent quarantine that ha
been kept has succeeded in stoppin
the spread of the contaglon.
But think of those poor fellows I
