In these piping days of peace and politics, the
"times that tried mems sous"-when the desert
had not yet lost its terrors when painted warri-
ors camped the trail of the emigrant and
freighter, and when the wild West" was some
thing more than mere figure of speech-seem so
far distant that one experiences a shock OF sur
prise to meet the scout and plainsman OF old days
face to face, and to hear them talk of great
names and historic deeds as the mere common
places of existence But Of the real pioneers,
the makers of the trails that great high
ways of commerce, the builders of the first camp

remnant of the army of the Empire Builders.

OF the surviving scouts and Indian fighters, few
are more widely renowned than Oliver Perry Wig

not as pioneer but weather prophet that he
is best known. Whenever there is nothing

are to hunt up Virgins, get his views con-

the official forecaster of the weather bureau is
remarkably expert at making the wrong guess
Virgins weather wisdom, therefore, has become
a standing joke the whole way from Boston to
San Francisco; and his representations are not
merely copied by all the metropolitan dailies, but
are even incorporated in the boiler plate" that
goes to make up the patent insides" of the little
country weeklies. Yet Virgins served his country
well and faithfully through two great and

JOINS THE DRYS

Council correspondent of the Cap
ital News is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
The petition recently presented to
the county commissioners from tax
payers of Council precinct praying
that honorable body to put this old
town on the water wagon by refus-
ing to grant licenses to sell liquor
here, was successful and henceforth
the time-honored trantula juice of
yore will be conspicuous by it's elu-
siveness.
Five years ago five saloons flour
ished and the corpulent proprietors
thereof waxed financially fat in this
peaceful little burg. Then the festive
vacquero astride his rambunctious
cayuse dashed gaily into the various
wet goods emporiums and while his
steed pranced, proceeded to irrigate
the arid regions of the interior. Then
the silent silence of midnight's soli-
tude was oft times punctured by the
belligerent below of baby cannons,
while the circumambient ether was
agitated by the melodious war-whoops
of the wild and woolly Bills. Then
the good old health resort was bloom
ing-and' the blossoms were a deep
purple red. In those joyous days the
inhabitants of this beautiful summer
retreat, among the opetically pine
clad hills, were largely filled with hi
larity and other things.
Nov, alas, all is changed. Civili-
cation has civilized. The red nose
and black eye, the wabbly walk and
tangled OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES en-
blems of abundant booze, have gone
down to utter defeat before the white
ribbon of temperance. No more will
the cheerful gurgle be heard; instead
will sound the gentle ripple of lemon
ade as swiftly through paper straw
it flows. Instead of red-rye and forty
rod, lemon extract and cough syrup
wood alcohol and benzine will supply
local demand for internal pyrotech-
MICS. Council few short years ago,
the worst booze town in the west
Council today is dry, corked, under
the lid, purified.

Artful DODGERS.

Insanity experts have no occasion to
point the finger of scorn at the lawyers
who take one side of a case or the
other for pay and make no pretensions
Of believing any other way than the
way they are being paid all the money
a man has to believe.
The experts, on the other hand, are
supposed to be impartial scientists who
are ready to go on the witness stand
and tell the truth regardless Of whom 1t
hits. 1t is needless to say that they
don't do anything of the sort, and the
way in which they make science the
handmaiden of the almighty dollar Is
really something of public scandal.
1t makes no difference. ON which side

The Payette Cannery.

Col. L. v. Patch, one of Payette's
hustling business men, was in Cald-
well Wednesday for a short time, en-
route to Boise to attend the l. N. G.
encampment. Col. Patch is superin-
tendent of the canning factory at his
home town. He stated that the output
of the cannery this year will be thirty
cars, consisting of twenty cars of
peas and ten cars OF fruit, consisting
of apricots, peaches, pears, cherries
and apples. They can" neither toma-
toes or corn. The tomato crop Is so
uncertain that farmers do not like to
take the risk of growing them, owing
to the blight. Two years ago 80 acres
was planted to this fruit, but there
was less than 200 cases canned. Col.
Patch is Of the opinion that when the
soil gets thoroughly mulched with
vegetable matter, that this much
sought vegetable will produce abund-
antly. The cannery now employs 70
people and affords quite a pay roll
for the town and country. .a-9

From Alaska.

w. F. Schnabel of Fairbanks, Alas
ka. arrived in Caldwell Wednesday
morning. His visit was unexpected
at this time. Mr.. Schnabel is a dep
uty United States marshal of the third
district of Alaska, with headquarters
at Fairbanks, and he came to Seattle
with six deputies and eleven prison
ers. He stated that this lot of pris-
oners were nearly all men who had
become demented while in the north.
He said it was surprising the number
of men who become unbalanced from
hardships, disappointments and self
abuse, while seeking gold in that
country. The next batch of prisoners
will be largely criminals and there
will be some desperate characters.
Mr.. Schnabel will visit with friends
here for a few days before returning
to his northern home.

ELECTRIC lights +.
III.,,,FOR O.S.L. DEPOT

The Oregon Short Line Railway and
the Caldwell Light & Power Company
have at last come to a partial agree
ment regarding prices for electric
lights, but unfortunately for the good
Of the travelling public, the contract
only embraces the depot. There will
be no arc lights. 1t is not so import
ant to the public whether the depot
is lighted, as it is to have two arc
lights placed at each end of the
depot. The Tribune has not been able
to learn just why the much needed
arc lights were not included in the
deal, unless the company intends to
persist in following the maxim of j.
Gould, when he uttered the words,
"The public be damned" 1t may be
possible that the city council will feel
able to help the railroad by bearing
the expense of two arc lights, but it
is not at all likely.
