This country is much better adapted
to dairy interests than is that. The
yield of hay is about two tons per
acre, while the average here Is fully
FIVE tons. There is no alfalfa raised
in Washington County, and the far
mers all admit that this country is
much better adapted to dairying pur-
poses. Hay costs $500 per ton in
the field and last winter it went as
high as $1,000 delivered. Mr. Mil
Ter will make out a detailed state
ment of his Investigations and also
will give his conclusions regarding
condensaries- and creameries to the
Commercial Club next week.
Mr.. Miller spoke about the roads
of the country, he said that the
county owned rock crusher and
other necessary machinery in making
good roads. The streets of Hillsbor-
ough are planked and the planking
has been renewed several times.
There is no gravel and rock has to
be crushed for road building. Mr..
Miller's visit will doubtless be of
much benefit to Canyon County as
he is close observer of local con-
ditions and his Judgment can be
safely relied upon.

VOTE FOR SCHOOL BONDS.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Tribune appears call for a special
bond election. This election is to be
held In the Caldwell school district
and for the purpose of voting bonds
in the amount of $4,000 for the pur-
pose Of repairing and charging our
present school houses, and their ia
cilities. We are informed that the
Lincoln school house is unsafe, I'M
sanitary and congested. The school
house has been thoroly examined
and found to be unsafe. At compar-
atively little expense improvements
could be made that would make the
building absolutely safe from fire and
comfortable for teachers and chill
dren. The Washington school house
is not completed, necessitating con-
gestion in the Lincoln building. The
expense of completing this building
Is not great as Is shown by the
amount Of money asked.
The Tribune knows that the people
Of Caldwell take great pride in their
public schools. 1t also knows that
there Is nothing that better adver-
tises a community or better illus
trates the progressive supirit of
town than the public schools. We
are cnfldent that the people will be
willing to spend few thousand dol
lars to insure the lives and protect
the health of their children. We
cannot afford to permit the present
conditions to remain. The school
board has done we'll in calling the
election, and we believe the people
OF Caldwell will approve their ac-
ton by voting the bonds.

Work on the new depot will be
commenced next week. Some
changes have been made In the plans
which caused some delay. Mr.. Rich
ardson Of the engineers department
was at Ememtt this week looking
after the purchase of ties. which will
be bought from Fred Barnes COM
pany. Invoices have been received
for as tons of rails, that are ex-
pected to arrive next week. Col. e.
R. Place and some parties who are
interested in the company are In the

looking over the resources of the

for another week.
The following article is taken from
the Winnemucca Star and will be
read with interest by the readers of
the Tribune:

ern Humboldt county is the building
Of the San Francisco. Idaho & Mon

Golden Gate Route" During the
past month or so 1.-THE Star" has been
in receipt of much advertising mat
ter pertaining to the building of the
road, which is now being construct
ed south of Caldwell, Idaho. While
the illustrated booklets and maps
greatly advertise that portion of
Idaho through which the road will
pass, Winnemucca, which is to be
the southern terminal, is receiving
its share of the publicity. This place
VIII be the terminal or junction point
with both the Southern Pacific and
the Western Pacific railways and in
all probability the shops will be 10
Gated here. The road is almost an
air line from Caldwell to San Fran
cisco and will be 600 miles shorter
to the Bay city than the present
route. The people of southern Idaho
are very anxious that the road be
built as soon as possible, as It means
greater and better market for the
products of that rich agricultural and
mining country.
Looking on the map Of the north
western states, it will be seen that
Winnemucca is just 24s miles south
west of Caldwell. and to go by rail

Death of Tom Davis.

Tom Davis, one of the oldest pio-
neers of Boise, died suddenly Tues
day night at his hime In that city.
Mr.. Davis was we'll known by all the
old timers In this valley. No ar
rangements have yet been made for
the funeral. The following is a
sketch of his life:
Thomas Davis was perhaps more
closely associated with the early his
tory of Boise than any other one man.
having located upon his present city
property several years before the city
was even thought of or named or the
barracks built. He was born In Gin
cinnati 20 years ago, and at a very
early age he and his brother Frank,
who was associated with him until his
death some years ago, were left or
phans and were bound to a wealthy
farmer In Monmouth, Ill. Here they
grew into manhood and after some
travels both crossed the plains In 49,
81 going first to Lemhi County, and
Just before Christmas of the same
year landed in the Boise basin. Here
they secured some rich placer prop
erty which yielded them quite an
income. But they were sons OF the
soil and their hearts were in that
work rather than mining and early
In the following year Thomas Davis
walked from Idaho City down to the
present site OF Boise and, looking
over the land, selected the property
which is now his home, as a ranch
upon which to raise vegetables, there
being no gardens in Idaho City. both

garden was great success and Mr..
Davis. remembering the fruit of his
early home, was inspired to plant
an orchard. The year that the first
crop matured freezing weather occur
red early in September, completely
running the crop. When this disaster
occurred everyone predicted that the
climate was not suitable for fruit
raising, but the following year, about
1855, weather conditions were pro-
piuous and the apples brought 1s

George Ellis of this city was a
partner of Mr.. Davis and his brother
in those early days but the partner
ship was dissolved in 1868 and from
that time Mr.. Davis was never asso-
ciated with any one except during the
last few years when he took his son
Edwin into partnership with him.
His property is chiefly in ranches
and stock The site of Boise was
formerly a part of Mr.. Davis ranch
and he often told Of the high rye
grass which covered most of the prop
erty when he located on 1t. Some
years later he acquired what Is
known as the government ranch
property, 500 acres, which lies across
the river just below the bench. The
value of this ranch alone is estimat-
ed at 100000. During the last is
years he has engaged extensively in
stock raising, most Of his horses be-
ing pastured on ranches belonging
to him In the Brunesu country. Ills
wealth was variously estimated by
old friends of his who were inter-
viewed on the subject yesterday and
the consensus of opinion was that it
was close to three-quarters of mil
lion dollars
Mr.. Davis and his partner built
what is known as the Nye house on
Grove street between Seventh and
Eighth and at the time 1t was the
finest home in Boise. Here Mr.. Da-
Wis lived during his bachelor days.
After his marriage with Miss Julia
McCrum he built small house near
er the river, where they resided for a
number of years. Soon after this he
planned veritable castle to be erect
ed near the site of his modest home.
The foundation, pretentious one of
stone, was laid and later the plans
for this home were abandoned and
the present home, an attractive frame
residence of IL rooms, was built.
During all the years of his life at
Boise Mr.. Davis never held any pub
lie office. devoting his entire time to
his personal affairs. He was one of
the reorganizers in the new Boise
City bank and a heavy stakeholder
In 1t, but outside of this enterprise
his money was in land and stock.
Mr.. Davis was man who cared
absolutely nothing for public opinion
OF himself. He wanted but few
friends, but these he wanted con-
stantly with him whether sick or
well. He was passionately fond of
music and was quite skillful vio-
linist. In the early days he was
member of the city's band. He had
the name of being very careful bus
mess man. He was devoted to his
family and to them was indulgent in
the extreme. His death will be a dis
tinct loss to the community in many
ways.

Death of Miss Iva Weymouth.
We are panied to learn Of the
death of Miss Iva Weymouth on last
Friday at Sernia Madre, California,
where she had gone. accompanied by
her mother, in hopes that the change
OF climate might benefit her health:
she had an attack of typhoid-pneu-
monia In the winter and tho she re-
covered sufficiently to be out of bed
she never regained her strength and
quick consumption set in of which
she finally died. Miss Weymouth
was a graduate of the College of
Idaho and gave great promise of a
long and useful career at that time.
She was especially bright and of a
lovable disposition and her many
many friends here will learn of her
death with sadness. Her father. Mr..
e. L. Weymouth. left here Saturday
morning and with her mother will
accompany the remains to this city.

Roswell, Idaho, June 10, 1908.
Madam Nordica, the great singer,
gave the people of Roswell and Big
Bend the pleasure of meeting and
conversing with her at Mr.. e. H.
Brumbach's Tuesday evening from
$50 to IL p. m. All found her to
be very sociable and an exceptional
entertainer. Dainty refreshments
were served to each guest after they
had met Madam Nordica. Each one
expressed themselves as being very
thankful for the privilege Of meeting
such noble and noted lady.
There has been quite number of
sturgeon caught from Snake River
the past week ranging in weight
from 20 to $40 pounds.
Haying will commence next week
in earnest; the hay is not quite SO
heavy as usual but of a very fine
quality.
The entertainment given by the
school was a grand success in every
respect.
The Roswell school was given a
lawn picnic at W. F. Towards Tues
day. Quite a large number Of the
children and parents were present
and one Of the main features of the
day was the boys show. About 1890
the big barn door of the Howard
barn slid open and out came the
young boys with their calves hitched
both single and double, hauling their
drivers on carts and In the rear
came the children with flags and en-
blems of all nations. After the din
ner was served each person had Ice
cream to their hearts content and
as the sun was going to sleep behind
Mitchell Butte all departed to their
homes saying they had had a great
day Of pleasure.

Francis B, Hardy of Desmith, s.

day. Mr.. Hardy is twin brother of
Frank Hardy, one of the oldest resi-
dents of Caldwell. The brothers
have not met for 81 years. Mr..
Hardy stopped off at Twin Falls land
sale, but finding that water for do
nestle purposes was as hard to get
there as 1t Is in, we'll say Goldfield,
he concluded not to locate. He will
visit with his brother Frank for a
few days before returning to his
home, and may conclude to locate
in this country.

Gives Up.

The Democratic party Of this State
is sadly demoralized and could have
no hope of winning even tho it were
In the majority. No party can en-
gage in a religious war and win. If
1t has political principles 1t must
stand for these principles and let re-
ligious questions severely alone. Sem
ator Dubois has endeavored to make
of the Democratic party purely an
ti-Mormon party, and all he has ac-
complished Is the utter ruin of the
Democratic party. If there ever was
possibility of succeeding in array
ing the people of Idaho against the
Mormon church, that possibility
could exist only in a separate and
distinct party, with a name indicat-
ing its purpose. Dubois succeeded
at one time in his war on the Nor
mon church. He then organized an
anti-Mormon party and elected a
majority of the members Of the Leg
islature. The test oath was the re-
suit of that victory. But the Nor
mon church has changed since those
days and strictly anti-Mormon par
ty could have no hope Of winning.
Dubois has undone the Democratic
party In this State and so long as he
remains member of 1t the party
will continue to be disrupted and
demoralized organization.-Idah

enemies and sought by them to be introduced into
society; and will not submit to such wicked
and unlawful treatment whether it comes from the
United States or United He'll, for the terms
synonymous as the government is now conducted"
These few extracts from the early-day utterances
of the so-caed prophets reveal the intention of the
Mormon establishment and from the beginning down
to the present, that intention has not been modified
1t was, and is, the purpose to establish govern
that shall be ruled by churchy head and shall
permit all the lustful ndugences that the first prophet
provided for at the beginning and in the insulted
name of God 1t is to be government antagonistic
to the government of the United States which it in
tends to extermnate with the rpening of its scheme.
These intentions have encountered serious reverses
between the time of Brigham Young and that of
Joseph Smith. The church was compelled for
time apostatize itself against itself, but mental
reservation INTERVIEWED and it will be ready to
declare the reservation and cast the manifesto aside
unless the governing fkorces of state and nation def
initey assert their supremacy.
