Service Proud Under Fire.

1T is the honorable distinction Of the
forest service that it has been more
constantly, more violently and more bit
terly attacked by the representatives OF
the special interests in recent years than
any other government bureau. These
attacks have increased in violence ana
bitterness just In proportion as the serv-
predatory wealth. The more successful
we have been in preventing land grab
bling and the absorption OF water power
by the special interests, the more in
genous, the more devious and the more
dangerous these attacks have become. A
favorite one is to assert that the forest
service. in its zeal for the public well
fare, has played ducks and brakes with
the acts Of Congress. The fact Is. on the
contrary, that the service has mad war;
rant of law for everything 1t has done.
Not once since il was created has any
charge of illegality, despite the most
attack. ever led to reversal or reproof
by either house of Congress or by any
congressional committee. Net once has
the forest service been defeated or re-
versed as to any vital legal principle UNI
derlytnS its work in any court or adj
ministrative tribunal of last resort. We
hold 1t to be the first duty of a public
officer to obey the law. But we hold
II TO be his second duty, and a close
second. to do everything the law will
let him do for the public good, and not
merely what the law directs or compe's
him to do. Unless the public service is
alive enough TO serve the people with en-
thusiasm there is very little TO be said
for IT,

FACTORY
FOR CALDWELL

There are at present about 1900
cows tributary to Caldwell. If the
average milk flow of these cows is 20
pounds per day for the year, (they are
not worthy of being in dairy herd
if they do ont) and of per cent test
butter fat, we will have $1,000 lbs. Of
milk handled daily, 800 days in the
year. The average test of the valley
is estimated to be 4 per cent butter
fat, and the average price for butter
fat has been about &c. the last year.
This would be 1900 ibs. OF butterfat
a &c, which Is $405,O0 per day. To
this add 1Oc per 100 lbs, milk for the
whey, $3.50, total OF $442,50 for
each and every day of the year. This
would be 29ho. per day or $3.50 per
month per COW or $4,000 per year for
the COW. The cows feed bill will
range from $40 to $40 per year; de-
duct the average of $40 and we have
left 5000 for the COW per annum, or
total of $114,S00 for the 1900 COWS
in one year.
1t will be necessary to take good
care of the milk and be prompt about
the morning delivery in order to net
the farmer this amount. 1t will be
the duty of the field man to locate the
COWS that do not pay their board and
have general charge of the sanitary
condition of the milk. Probably COZ
OF these cows will not average more
than six pounds at a milking Of twelve
pounds per day. The above plan will
give food for thought as we'll as FOL
the body. 1t will require about si1
men in the factory and ten or twelve
to haul the milk to the factory.

From word received thsi week from
President w. ]. Boone of the College
of Idaho, who is at present in New
York City, we learn that he has sue
ceeded in persuading Mr.. A. Carnegie
of that city to contribute $4,000
towards an endowment fund of $780,
900 for the College Of Idaho. Mr.. Car
negie's gift has a string attached, in
that he insists that three buildings be
erected to cost $4,000 each. AS the
college board had already secured the
necessary funds for one building,
there now remains but one more to
be provided for. The Tribune is in
receipt of a wireless from the east
to the effect that our old friend ]. D.
r. has promised President Boone
that he will contribute $4,000 when
certain conditions are complied with

making of counterfeit money. The
two men were working together on
house, when the proposition was
made. Major Caldwell advised Kimp-
ton to go ahead and join Shea, and
when the proper time came he would
be an important witness in behalf of
the government Kimpton did so, and
it will be upon his testimony that
Shea will be brought to justice.
Kimpton is quoted as saying that
Shea had not yet perfected his dollar
molds and was working up to make
some bogus $40 gold pieces.
Shea was convicted of making
molds at American Falls for counter
felt money about two and half years
ago and was sentenced to serve ID
months in the state pen. The gov
eminent was unable to find any coun-
terfeit money made by Shea at that
time, otherwise his sentence would
hav been much more severe.-Pocatel-

THOMPSON GETS
LEASE ON Land

The state land board has granted
Hon. G. w. Thompson of Lewiston
5O-year lease on 5000 acres of land in
Nez Perez county. Mr.. Thompson
proposes to prospect the land for iron
ore. BY the terms of the lease he un-
dertakes to mine at least 1000 tons
of ore during the first five years of the
lease and at least 5000 tons annually
thereafter. The state gets royalty
of Is cents per ton for the ore. The
land is mountainous and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that there is ore all
through the range, which is As or so
miles long. The grazing and timber
privileges are retained by the state.
Mr.. Thompson is confident that he is
starting a new industry and develop
ing a new Idaho resource. Meager
information as to details is at hand.
Some have criticized the board for not
permitting more publicity in the mat
ter. In our next issue we may be able
to more thoroughly inform our read
ers in the premises.

County Bridges.

The commissioners visited the pro-
posed site for the bridges across the
Payette river in the vicinity of New
Plymouth, but not having the faciii-
ties for crossing the roaring Payette
they were unable to examine both
sides of the river, consequently they
returned without deciding on the pro-
posed location. 1t is understood, that
some of the citizens of Payette are
not in favor of the lower bridge and
it is just possible that there will be
but one bridge voted for, and that will
not be decided until the April meeting.
The commissioners also visited the
Parma and Notus bridges; they found
the former in some danger and steps
will be taken Immediately to protect
it by means of rip raping the banks.
The river has already made such in
roads that it is necessary to go
through fields in order to reach the
Parma side of the bridge. The Notus
bridge and approaches were found in
good condition.

Caldwell HOST
OF LEGISLATURE

Word was received Thursday after
noon from Boise that the legislature,
or, at least, a number of the members,
would visit Caldwell Friday afternoon
as the guests of the Commercial club.
A joint meeting of the Ladies' For
ward club and Commercial club was
called and steps taken for entertain
ing the visitors. No regular program
was outlined other than that lunch
would be served, as the limited time
which the visitors would remain
would preclude any extensive or elab-
crate functions. The Tribune scribe
was permitted to view the main room
after the ladies had been at work for
few hours on the decorations. The
color scheme was red, white and blue,
The, ceiling and walls being hung
with bunting, red apples were pro-
fusely displayed on the several tables
that glittered with cut glass and sill
verware, resting on snowy linen,
making a most pleasing effect Ow-
ing to the unavoidable absence of
President Grifiths, George H. Hardy
made the address of welcome, which
was responded to by Paul Clagstone
The Caldwell Glee club then render

lunch was being disposed of.
The special over the Interurbar
brought the guests in on the 8 O'Clock
and after visiting the Steunenbere
home, where the fearful tragedy
which caused the death of Franz
Steunenberg occurred, they returned

POCATELLO CAPTURES
BAD COUNTERFITTER

the counterfeit money was brought by
a former peace officer of the city. The
department sent one its best opera
tives post haste to Pocatello in re-
Spouse to Mr.. Turner's telegram, and
within "a hours Shea was landed in
the county jail to await preliminary
hearing before Commissioner Turner,
which is scheduled to occur on Feb
ruary 4. In the meantime Shea is in
the county Jail without bonds.
Suspicion that Shea was up to his
old tricks induced in the mind of a
former peace officer of this city by
Noticing him and Kimpton paying
surrepticious visits to the home of
Mrs. Brown on South Hirrison ave-
nue. The ex-off1cer waited on Mrs.
Brown and induced her to give the
snap away. She admitted that Shea
and Kimpton were trying to make
counterfeit dollars and the ex-of1cer
traced the matter up, found where
plaster of paris had been purchased
and at length secured possession OF
one of the bogus pieces. 1t was then
that he brought the matter to the of.
fetal notice of Mr.. Turner and the
telegram to the treasury department

nell discovered that a short time age
