|0LLER TALKS
To ATHLETES

DR.. Roller made great speech last
might. He was an honored guest at
a meeting of the Diamond Head Ath-
u letie club and talked straight from the
shoulder on the subject of athletics
generally. EVERY man can aid in
athletics whether he is an athlete or
not, was the essence of the grand
wrestler s talk.
There was a large aggregation of
athletes belonging to the club to meet
the Doctor and they listened with in
tense interest while he told of his life
and how he had worked his way
through college and had made a name
as an athlete. 1t was goodly sight
( to see those young fellows, every one
of them well muscled and straight,
listening to man who could tell them
how to develop themselves and how to
reach the top of the ladder of amateur
sport.
Pete Baron also made a very telling
speech in which he implored the mem
bers of the club to stay together and
show real Esprit de corps.'' "We
have,' said he, ga collection of ath-
fssk.SS,sia this club that can beat any

CHAPTER Nv

Victor Lablanche owed his unprece-
denied success largely to the fact that he
never permitted anybody to share his
discoveries in the field of crime If
ever he found out anything remarkable,
he never suffered the slightest hint of il

grand coup when the crisis of the case
should be reached. And these surprises.
which invariably enhanced his reputation
as shrewd officer, were generally eff
fected through the exercise of the most
searching Investigations of the locality
where crime had been committed. No
sooner had the door closed than the whole
demeanor of the project underwent an en-
tire change. From the staid, unconcerned
official, quietly engaged in the perfunctory
discharge of duty, he became imme-
diately transformed into an eager enthu-
siast.
But whatever success might have at

SAYS
LISA GREAT FAIR

Professor H. T. French president
OF the University of Idaho, was in
Caldwell this week attending the Can
yon County fair. Mr.. French kindly
acted as the Judge of the horses. He
spent the entire day Thursday Judging
horses. When seen by a representa-
tive of the Tribune Thursday, Mr..
French said: you may say that the
fair at Caldwell is by far the largest
and best the town has ever had. This
fair is one of the best in the North
west. In fact it cannot be beaten by
any. The livestock exhibits are larger,
better and more varied than those of
the Spokane fair. Your fruit and veg
etable display is one of the most mag
nificent l have ever seen anywhere
1t certainly gives the visitor a splendid
idea of the resources of Canyon Coun-
ty. 1t is worth going hundreds of
miles to see. I am glad that attend
ed the fair. Through the Tribune l
desire to tell the people of Idaho that
Canyon County Is a county of which
the whole state may well feel proud,
and the fair is credit to your coun-
ty."

Yea, indeed, why not state hog yard

Give us initiative and referendum,
government ownership of railroads,
telephone and telegraph lines. The
government print shop is such a pay
ing institution! OF course. give us a
state print shop. Give us Karl Marx
and Wiltshire, and copy of Looking
Backward and the Statesman will be
left in the farmers dooryard every
morning. Why don't the struggling
Statesman do the thing up in red ink
and have the nerve to fly Gene Debs'
ticket at the head of it's editorial col
umn, and call the whole shooting
match off? The Idaho Statesman is a
pippin proper on consistency. Its
seriousness is better than a funny

A Change.

The personnel of the Idaho Imple-
ment Co. has been changed during the
past few days. In fact the Caldwell
branch of. the firm has been reorgan-
lied. B. M. Holt of Longmont, Colo.
is one of the heavy stockholders in the
new company. J. w. Watkins is presi-
dent and w. G. Cowden is secretary
and manager. Messrs. Watkins and
Cowden will need no introduction to
the people of Canyon County where
they have lived and transacted bust
ness for years. Mr.. Holt is a we'll
known member Of the Holt Land &
Livestock Co., of Longmont, Colorado.
Mr. Holt will make Caldwell his home
in the future. The new company will
continue to handle the same lines of
staple farm implements as before the
change, but they will be in no way
connected with any other firm.

q. w. Peterson, who lives on one
of the best improved places in the
New Sweden district, marketed two
hundred and twenty-four head OF hogs
to Hit & Field here, Thursday, at six
cents per pound, receiving a check for
$500 for the lot. They were the
smoothest and most uniform bunch of
porkers that have been put on the To-
cal market for some time and attract
ed good deal OF attention as they
were being delivered.
Mr.. Peterson delivers a bunch like
that each fall adm has the reputation
OF being the most successful feeder
OF Logs in this section. He has reduc-
ed the feeding to a science and knows
exactly what feeds will produce the
best results. He weighs his feed and
his nogs frequently and eau tell
whether the hogs are gaining in
weight from the amount of feed given
them. This bunch was finished on
wheat and Mr.. Peterson figures that
his wheat fed in this way brough, him
one dollar per bushel.
by keeping in touch with the gain
he found that from the time he conf
menced feeding grain that the hogs
put on gain of three pounds and
half per day per head.

The sale made by Mr.. Peterson
proves beyond question that raising
hogs for the market in this section
is one of the quickest and best meth

From newspaper reports we learn
that the burden of Nose Alexander
speeches are that his taxes have been
increased under the republican state
administration. 1t is true that he
paid more taxes in 1907 than he did
In 1898 but that was by reason of the
large increase in his property valua-
tons. In 1898 his property was valu-
ed at $24.O30.52. and he paid 1888 90
taxes. In 1907 his property was valu-
ed at $115,6S0, and his taxes were
$4,000. Thus. it will be seen that
with more than four times the valua-
ton he paid less than one-half the
amount of taxes in 1907 that he did in
1898.

ulated. That beautiful town had a
display of fruit and vegetables that
would do credit to any county on
earth. Payette Day brought nearly a
thousand visitors from that thriving
city. We believe the people who came
to Caldwell on that day both enjoyed
and profited themselves. They GER
tainly helped to make the fair a sue
cess. This is appreciated by the peo-
pie OF Caldwell. The Tribune has
no hesitancy in saying that there is
not another county in the United
States that could make the DISPLAY
Canyon County did at this fair.

TAFT LEADS.


If a straw vote taken by the Ore
CONAN at the various theaters, the
Commercial Club during Saturday
luncheon, brewery, sawmill, a
ship-building plant, a labor union and
several other places, is indicative of
the way Multnomah County, and Port
land especially, will vote at the Pres
idential election on November 8, Taft
will, without question, have a good
majority. In some of the theaters the
vote collected was very light, but this
was due to the fact that not all of the
men in the audiences had pencils, and
because no announcements were made
from the stage as to what was to be
done with the ballots.
Representative Vote Taken.
The total vote collected was 1850.
The vote would have been much larger
but no returns were made from the
Pantages or the Orpheum Theaters.
No effort was made to insist that peo-
pie at the various theaters vote. The
ballots We're simply distributed and
those marked them who desired to do
so. Some of them were marked and
handed to the ushers, while others
were left on the seats and collected
after teh shows were over. The poll
at the Grand was extremely light, con-
sidering the size of the audience dur
ing the first performance. This vote
was taken last night, while those at
the other theaters were taken Satur-
day night. The vote taken Saturday
night was heaviest and the explana-
ton of this is perhaps that the audi
ence was made up mostly of men.
The straw vote will be cheering
news to the Tafe followers, for the
vote undoubtedly indicates the politi-
cal complexion of the campaign, and
in a fair way represents the senti-
ment of the voters on the Presiden-
tial campaign.
The votes, gathered as they were
from the various sources, are repre-
sentative of all walks of life. Taft
will undoubtedyl poll larger vote in
the country than Bryan, for in the
country the influence of organized la
boris vote is not felt.
