eral hundred miles to the home of
two brothers whom she asked for
shelter and protection. But her
heart was broken and her frail form
grew weaker day by day. One night
when she retired the brothers heard
a scream, and ascending the stairs
entered their sisters room to hear
her say, L love him STILL Her mind
was wandering and the death pallor
covered her face. A doctor was
summoned but could do nothing but
administer stimulant.
The woman lying there in deaths
grip, asked the youngest brother to
lift her up in his arms. He did so
and as he held her lovingly, she rails
ed her faint voice and sang her soul
into eternity.
Concluding his story and with
face showing signs of deep emotion,
the speaker cried:
Friends, that youngest brother
stands before you tonight, pleading
with You to protect the wives, mo-
theirs and daughters of this land in
their inalienable rights; protect the
men from the ravages Of rum and
the homes from the insane acts of
drunken fathers. You have the pow
er to remove the demonstrations
liquor license laws from your statute
books and If you'll do it, I'll promise
to close every bar in the State of
Idaho. My fight against this traffic
in mems souls will continue as long
as God gives me strength to walk
and talk "

from being worked. To the stock
men it will be of immense benefit,
for it will save a drive of forty miles.
The building of this road means
much to Caldwell and the surround
ing country, for 1t will open up a
market for the products of the farm
and orchard, and the development of
rich section of the country which
otherwise would remain idle. While
many of our citizens have been skep-
tical about the road being built, yet
there never was a time when Col.
Place faltered in his work. One dis
appointment after another would
come, yet each time he would come
to the front with a smile, determined
to fight it out to a successful issue
and he has returned home for the
purpose of commencing work. This
issue of the Tribune contains an no
tice for bids on grading and build
ing depot. There was another mat
ter which Col. Place looked after
while absent, and that was the publ
cation of book that eclipses any
thing for the kind that ever came
from the hands of the printer. The
expense Of getting out the first edi-
ton was over $4,000 and it is truly
a work Of art. These books will be
ready for distribution in about 80
days. The Caldwell Commercial
Club will consider the proposition of
taking 10000 copies and it will be
the best investment they ever made.

Col. e. R. Place, the superinten-

Montana R. r., has returned from an
extended business trip to Chicago
and New York. One of the objects
of his trip was to arrange for finan-
cling the road he represents Not
withstanding the stringency of the
money market, he was successful.
Everyone is aware that the volume
of money Is as great at present as
1t was six months ago, the only diff
ference now is that investors are
much more conservative than they
were at that time. Col Place was in
a much better position to attract
investors than others who have in
vestments to offer. In the first place

On the entire line at this time. The
first section of the road to be built
will extend from Caldwell to Shea
vile, distance of about 40 miles.
The termianl will thus tap a sec
ton of country rich in minerals and
the greatest stock country between
here and the Southern Pacific. Shea
vile is so situated that the road
when 1t reaches that point, will be
the shipping station for all the Sill

and South Mountain districts and
will solve the question of freight,

Temperance Story

The residents of American Falls
are making 1t rather tropical for sa-
looms In their twn. They first in
creased the license to $1,000 and now
they are petitioning the town trus-
tees to refuse to grant any more IL
censes. The following are their rea-
sons for urging the matter at this
time. so says the American Falls
Press:
The temperance wave has struck
American Falls. 1t is partly due to
a growth of sentiment against the
liquor traffic that is general thruout
the country, and partly to local
causes. When T. H. Stohl was burn
ed to death in the village Jail on Oc-
tober 9 last, following a debauch,
more than a ripple was created
against the cause responsible for his
death. When two months later two
men lost their lives in a rear end
collision in the local yards while the
train men were drinking in a saloon,
the ripples increased. When T. G.
Ray laid down his life because Of
over indulgence the feeling grew.
But it was not until gambling stalk
ed into the open when anyone with
money enough to buy stack"
could set into the games, that a de-
cision was reached to strike at the
fountainhead. Otherwise the matter
would probably have not become an
issue until the next election.
The matter has so far been han
died by the churches under the guild
ance Of Rev. Coen and Rev. Barkle
but 1t is everybodies fight now. The
public has been drawn into 1t and
every citizen must take a stand
either for or against the saloons.
There is no middle ground.
The citizens of American Falls Sc
cured the services of Reverend Mich
OILS Of Boise, who is said to be one of
the strongest temperance advocates
In the northwest. The following is
one of the illustrations he sometimes
uses In order to clinch his arguments
for prohibition. This article is from
one Of the Pocatello papers:
Finally he painted a romantic
word picture of an auburn haired
girl, the belle of the town. who

Judgment and followed the advice
OF relatives and friends, but who
chose otherwise and married a
stranger who was addicted to strong |
drink. The Lord blessed their I'M
lon with three daughters who grew
to girlhood but ever in the presence
of drunken father. Together with
hardships and sorrow, age had fur
rowed its lines on the face of that
once beautiful girl and her hair had
faded. Fearing death from her
drunken husband, she sought a home
for two of her children, and placing
upon their cheeks the parting kiss
of mother, bid them good bye for
ever. With her other child she Sc

was taken 1t was to meet with the

taken and handed In with names.
A committee of gentlemen will be
asked to act as judges and pictures

are in by May LIST, and We hope many
of our citizens will enter the lists.
