the latter being accused of favor

The most importanta acts perform
ed by the County board of Super
visors at the meeting of last week
were the change made in the gov
ernment of the work on the public
roads.
The resignation of County Sup.
erintendent of Roads J. II. Wilson
was accepted by an affirmative
vote of Haid, Church, Henning
and MeyeS tKaiue voting no).
This would have left the executive
work in the hands OF the coun-
ty engineer. Supervisor Church
brought forth a resolution resciding
the action Of the board taken on
January 4th 1906 giving the whole
management of the road depart
ment into the hands of that official.
After some discussion this resolu-
tion was introduced by Supervisor
Haia and seconded by Meyer ard
carried unanimously.
The amended sections are as fol-
lows:

direct charge of all contract work
either in person or through an in
spector appointed by him with the
approval of the local Supervisor If

spector and shall have charge of
such other items of County work
that he shall be specifically direct
ed to do by the Board of Supervis
ors. He shall when requested by the
Supervisors or Road overseers give
advice and instruction on matters
pertaining to public work and as
far as possible shall make a per.
sonal inspection of public work in

Tuesday evening, the 18th, a
most successful Literary" was
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

dance was unusually large and the
program most interesting. 1t was
an evening in honor of ST. Valen-
tine and hence the interior decora-
tions consisted of a-inyriad of red
hearts of all sizes hanging every
where with pleasing effect through
out the different rooms. Each
guest was the recipient of a valen-
tine, some in comical strain and
others OF a sentimental nature.

Father Valentine and the tender
feeling were the principal themes
was given.

1t is not perhaps generally known
but it is a fact that religious services
are held twice week at the county
Jail, Seven Day Adventists have SER
vices on Saturday and the Presbyter-
aims on Sunday. In speaking about
these meetings Deputy Sheriff Parrish
stated that great amount of good
had been done by reason of these
meetings. He said that the prisoners
made it rule to dress up on Satur-
day in anticipation of the visit and
with the exception of the time when
the Jail was under quarantine there
has not been Saturday when services
were not held. Another improvement
the officer observed is the desire of
the prisoners to read better class of
literature than before these services
were held. The Presbyterians as rep
resented by Rev. Springer have been
equally attentive in holding services,
The officers appreciate the motive
which prompts the two denominations
to labor in behalf of those temporarily
confined in the count Jail.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
AN EXCITING MEETING

The regular session of the city coun-
Gil was held Monday night with all
members present, except Miller.
The reports of all the officers were
read and approved with the exception
of the assessors report. The law says
that the assessor shall collect all taxes
and turn the same over to the city
treasurer and that he shall receive "
per cent as compensation. 1t appears
that the assessor kept that percentage
out of the amount collected and turned
the remainder over to the treasurer,
and for so doing the council refused
to accept his report. Following the
reports of the officers the little mat
ter of bills was the next order of
business. All went smooth until the
bill of Henry Cox for putting down the
city well was reached. 1t appears that
Henry Cox had entered into con-
tract with the city as follows:
1T is hereby agreed by and between
Henry Cox, party of the first part, and

Gone, But Not Forgotten.

Monday evening, December the 7th,
the spirit of Mrs. Kate Patton Mosby
passed over the silent river to that
bourn from whence no traveller ever
returneth. By her death vacancy is
caused in more than one circle where
she will be missed but not forgotten.
Her absence will be felt not only in
her home, but her neighbors and lit
erary friends will each miss her pres
.ence. AS neighbor she was kind
and generous, seeming to anticipate
what she could do without causing
embarrassment to the most sensitive.
She was not captivated by display or
GORGEOUS dress, but rather chose to
have a circle of friends in whom she
could confide as friend and neighbor.
Mrs. Mosby was the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Patton and
was a native of Iowa, coming to Ida
no with her parents when quite young
and locating at Caldwell in 1888. The
following appears in the Tribune un-
der date of November 10, 1888: Mar
ried Sunday, Nov. 4, 1888, at the resi-
dence of the brides parents in Cald-
well, Rev. b. F. Morrow officiating,
Mr.. w. Z. Mosby and Miss Kate Pat
ton" Mr.. and Mrs. Mosby have resided
in Caldwell continuously with the ex-
ception of a short residence at La
Grand, Oregon.
Many beautiful flowers were in evil
dence as a mark of esteem from
friends and neighbors. The services
were held at the residence under the
auspices of the Eastern Star of which
she was a member and the remains
laid to rest in Canyon Hill cemetery.
The primary cause of death was a
goiter in the glands Of the neck which
in time affected the heart. Mrs. Mos
by has been a patient but brave suf-
ferer for several years. She leaves
a husband, father and mother, two
sisters and brother, besides a large
circle OF friends who mourn her de-
parture.

Caldwell Lodge No. 10, l. o. o. F..
held their first roll call" Wednesday
night at their elegant hall at the cor
ner of Main and 9TH streets. The roll
call is something new in the order,
but will doubtless be the means of
getting better attendance on lodge
nights. Odd Fellows are much like
other orders, there is always a better
attendance on the nights when re-
freshments are served than at any
other time, and the roll call feature
requires that as each members name
Is called, If present, he responds with
a short speech, if not present, it is
expected that he respond to the in
vitation to be present by sending a
letter which Is read. The general re-
suit of the meeting Is that great
many promises are made for future
attendance. The meeting last Wednes-
day night reminded spectator of an
old fashioned Methodist class meet
ing, in that those present enjoyed the
meeting and promised to be more
faithful for the future. However, the

Misplaced Charity.

A subscription paper was circulated
In Nampa Monday to secure aid for the
Mrs. Wilson whose children were re-
Gently sent to the industrial school
The Leader-Herald is not informed as
TO whether anything. was secured or
not, but it is quite probable there was
more or less donated. Our people are
charitably inclined and would rather
help the unworthy than to take
chances of refusing the worthy.
In this particular instance there is
no need to be led astray if the Capital
News has been carefully followed
That paper which started all the talk,
is authority for the statements that
Mrs. Wilson has good supply of food
and fuel for the winter and is receiv-
ing $40 per month from her brother
and $50 per month from the sale OF
sagebrush. If that be true, and GER
tainly those who are taking any steps
in the matter have faith in the truth
fulness of the Capital News, there
would seem little need of charity. More
than that the people of Caldwell and
Middleton are possessed of the same
sympathy for the poor and unfortunate
as we of Nampa possess and would
have extended help to Mrs. Wilson
long ago had the circumstances war
ranted it.
There are cases of deserving poor
right here in Nampa that need all the
aid that can be given; people who are
not able toswork by reason of old age
or feeble health and they may be help
ed with the absolute assurance that
the help is needed and will be appre-
ciated. By the way suppose every
thing is admitted that has been claim
ed for Mrs. Wilson, can you see any
reason why she should be subject OF
charity? No one has claimed that she
I is not strong, healthy, woman and
she has a 17-year-old boy to help her
Besides these two there is a small
child in the home, and that is all, since
I the other children were sent to the in.
4 dustrial school. Does it not seem tc
you that they should decently support
themselves, without public or private
laid, whether they have 500 per month
EDr any other fixed Tncome or not?-

Market Letter.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 2, 1908.
Receipts of sheep and lambs here
the first three days of this week show
very heavy increase over the cor
responding time last week. The de-
mand has been such for fat stuff that
ment, choice lambs selling today as
high as Z cts, the bulk at 6A to 81
cts. This is an advance of 25 to 40
cts. all along the line, excepting on
feeders, which are selling at strong
prices.
This advance is caused by the Buff
falo market being closed which makes
big eastern demand. Most Of the
eastern buyers are getting their sup
plies here this week, which makes
very strong competition with the pack
ers.
The sheep market also shows a good
advance, choice wethers selling today
at Sass, although there is not the
snap and life to the sheep end of the
market as there is to the lamb end.
This is where competition again comes
in as there is very little demand for
shipping sheep while orders for lambs
are plentiful.
Another thing that has helped out
the fat stuff this week is that there
has been a larger proportion of feed
ers here than for six weeks past. We
believe that a good many people with
feeders for sale held them back fig
uring on having them here during the
International Show, believing there
would be more demand. They are
right as there is good demand fol
them from all sources.

The local contest of December 7th
was well worth hearing and with these
three speakers the College of Idaho
hopes and expects to make this con-
test of the 18th even more so.
The proceeds are to be used in pay
ing the expenses of the declaimers
from other schools. The success of
the contest depends in great part on
the size and interest of the audience.
Let the good people of Caldwell inspire
our three representatives by their
presence and help win as glorious a
victory in this contest as the c. of T.
recently did in the football combat.
Do not forget the date, Friday, De-
cember 18th.
The winner in this contest will rep
resent Southwestern Idaho in con-
test with disclaimers from Southeast
ern Idaho, at Boise, during Christ
mas week.
