Electric Lights.

The question of having electric
lights installed at the depot has been
talked of for some time with the re-
suit that letter has been received
from the Salt Lake office In which
the prices the company is paying for
lights at all points on the line where
electricity is being used. rrices vary
In different towns, the highest paid
Is 75 cents per month and the lowest
is so cents. At Nampa they have a
rate OF 7h cents per kilowat. The
company appears to be willing to put
in lights providing satisfactory rates
can be arranged for at Caldwell. The
letter stated that the Caldwell cleo
trio light company quoted $500 per
month for the required number of
lights here. This they say is exhor-
bitant and will not accept that price.
The board of governors OF the Com
mercial Club will endeavor to see II
1t is possible to arrange terms that
will be satisfactory to both parties.
1t is fair to presume that prices paid
at Nampa should in measure gov
ern those at Caldwell as both towns
get their fluid from the Swan Falls
Co., and perhaps have similar con-
tracts. 1t is to be fervently hoped
that some satisfactory arrangement
can be made so that the depot and
grounds can be lighted the same as
our neighboring towns.

tie. The election was unanimous.
After the election Judge Smith made
the statement that the bond holders
had commenced action for the col
lection Of the bonds by reason of the
interest having been defaulted. This
was not the kind of news the stock
holders were prepared to hear, but
when 1t was explained that there
would be a receiver appointed to
hook after the interests of the road,
and In case of a sale being made,
that the surplus left after paying the
bond holders would be prorated they
felt somewhat better. that is. some
did. ]. H. Lowell introduced reso-
luton instructing the board of d.
rectors to file an appearance and
waive the statutory time for answer
ing the complaint, and allow the
bond holders to take Judgment by
default.
One very embarrassing question
was asked by one or the stockhoid-
ers, was, what had become of the
money which belonged to the COM
pany and was in the bank at the
time the Boise Valley road took
charge Of the Caldwell Interurban?
The chairman had to confess that
the B. v. people had spent that be-
sides contracting other debts. The
question which is most frequently
asked and which up to the dime of
going to press, remains unanswered
Is why did the Caldwell Interurban
directors turn over the entire road
and equipment together with the cash
In the treasury to an outfit without
first being secured in some manner?
Talk about farmers being film fam
ed, there Is nothing equal to this
transaction ever happened half so
bad to a hayseed. No one appears
to be willing to shoulder the respon-
sibility for the transfer. 1t looks
now as tho the stockholders are hold
ing the sack, the bond holders may
possibly get their money.

School District Sued.

The Caldwell School District has
been sued for $1,000. The plaintiff
in the case is G. w. Cooper. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Cooper rented room
in his Main Street building to the
board for school purposes during the
time the Washington School house
was being built. the rent amounting
to $4,000. When his bill was pre-
sented the board knocked off $1,000
because the room was not heated,
consequently he has brought suit to
recover the amount he claims as due
him. The case will come up In
Judge Hagelin's court.

10 Navarro, 1865 pounds, bid
1871 cts, sold.
This wound up the sales for this
time, another sales day will be an
nounced in the near future. The
feeling was general among the SELL
ers that they were not getting value
for their crop. One experienced
wool dealer was heard to remark that
there was not pound offered at this
sale but would bring AZ cts. secured
in Boston, consequently the prices
value. When 1t is known that there
Is about one million pounds now in
the warehouses at this point, and
that only about 10000 pounds was
sold, it can readily be seen that
prices are not satisfactory. The
last lot offered received a bid of
10 @ cts; this same owner received
20 cts. last year. 1t is quite evident
that there is a combination among
the buyers to hold prices down SO
that they may in part retrieve the
losses sustained last year.
1t was evidently an error on the
part of the executive committee when
they set several sales days in sue
cession. Monday at Midvale, Tues
day at Caldwell, Wednesday at Mt.
Home, and Thursday at Boise. This
arrangement did not give the buy
ers the time required.

NAMPA FERRY
BROKE away

Adam Blackstock. one of the lead
ing stockmen from south of the
Snake River, met with a thrilling
experience Sunday while crossing
the Snake River on the Henderson
ferry boat. He had ON the boat
about SO head of cattle, besides sew
eral saddle horses, and when the
boat was about halfway across the
cattle listed to one side and the cable
giving way, the entire cargo was
thrown in the river. Mr.. Blackstock
narrowly escaped drowning. The
saddle horses all escaped but the cat
tie did not fare so we'll Two were
injured SO that they had to be killed
and several calves were lost. Some
Of the cattle landed on one shore and
some on the other. The boat drifted
down the river for about tw omiles
before is was caught up.
Aside from the loss OF the cattle,
Mr.. Blackstock is disappointed in
not being able to deliver the cattle
as they had been sold to ]. L. Baker
and he is likewise disappointed as he
had them sold. The old gentleman
who has charge of the ferry Is wor-
rying about his boat as he Is I'M
able financially to stand the expense
of getting the boat back to its moor
ings. The boat was built and equip
ped by the Nampa Commercial Club
for the purpose of drawing trade to
the Junction City and the ferryman
was to receive the income until It
paid expenses, after that point was
reached, he was to divide with his
benefactors. In order to show that
his heart was In the right place. Mr..
Blackstock gave the old man $40 to
assist in getting the boat back to its
place.
