HISTORY ON A TUSK.

Long ago, so long that even scien-
fist would hardly dare venture a
guess as to the date, man clad with
only a wild beasts skin obout his
loins was sitting at the mouth of a
cave in one of the rocky highlands in
what lie now Southern France. He
was scratching with a sharp flint on
the fragments of an ivory tusk, per-
haps picturing for some youthful ad-
mirers adventures through which he
passed or animals he had slain. That
ivory chip was stored away as treas
ure, to be lost and forgotten after the
cave mans death. One day a man
named Lartet, digging in the cavern
floor, found it On it was scratched a
very fair representation of the hairy
elephant, probably at once the Oldest
picture and the oldest human record
in existence.
We know the cave man was faith
full workman, for the melting ice fields
of Siberia have yielded a perfect spec
imam of this extinct mammal, and the
paleolithic picture is a true copy. Not
only has this ancient sculptor given us
a sample of the earliest art, but he
has left us, more valuable than all, a
historical record of his time, for this
rude picture is simply page from
the cave mans history which, trans
lated into twentieth century English,
says: "Men, thinking men, were con-
temporaneous with the hairy ele-
plant"
No record that any of humankind
have ever left is hair SO actual as
this The oldest Egyptian papyrus is
a thing of yesterday compared to this
paleolithic sculpture. While the
cave man was living in Europe the
valley of the Nile was yet only wild
waste. Egypt was not yet Egypt,
and civilization as we know it had
scarcely made a beginning.-Lippin-

Caldwell HAS The GREATEST
WATER and The finest PLANT

The first question usually asked by
prospective locator in town or city
is, What kind of water have you: :"
rs there a sufficient quantity and is
it pure?" Applying these questions to
Caldwell the answer is, that the city
is supplied both for fire and domestic
uses from artesian wells. The Tribune
representative visited the pumping
plant recently and found that the new
15 h. p. motor had been installed and
was furnishing power to drive Byron
Jackson pump of $50 gal. per minute
capacity. This is practically the out
put furnished by the three new wells
completed since the first of the year.
The two old pumps and gasoline en-
gines remain in commission as a re-
serve in case of fire. The old pumps
have capacity of 100 pounds pres
sure and $40 gal. per minute, all of
which can be utilized in the event of a
desperate fire. The daily consumption
of water in the present district is 210,-
900 gallons, to supply this quantity re-
quires that the pumps be run IA hours
per day. The water is soft, pure and

HAVE YOU HEARD?

1t is a peculiar belief among
youngsters that the new baby is the
gracious gift of the family physician,
and this belief is based upon the fairy
stories told by the parents to tide over
those events. Now and then trouble
results. The young son of a we'll
known tailor started out to advertise
his father. He was accompanied by
his chum, the young son of a we'll
known doctor. In the evening when
the Doctors young hopeful was asked
what he had been doing all day, he re-
piled, advertising" Advertising
whom?" inquired the father. "You
and Mr.. Brown" (the tailor.) "Me?"
Eyes" "How did you advertise me?"
ooh, we fixed up a sign that said
Buy your trousers from Brown and
your babies from DR.. Jones' "-Ex.

A "EWE" CAT.

An amusing incident occurred re-
Gently in Utah that illustrates the
tendency of everyone to unconscious
ly express their ideas in terms that
relate to their everyday business.
An old gentleman, the proprietor of
several large bands of sheep that
were wintering on the desert was
visiting one of his sheep camps in
company with friend from the East,
They found the herder absent with
his flock but in possession of the camp
was large and very active Thomas
Cat. The cat gave the visitors a
hearty welcome, expressing his pleas
ure at their coming by rubbing his
back and head against their legs,
jumping onto their knees when they
sat down and sticking his claws into
their pants legs in a somewhat heroic
manner. The old gentleman evidently
wishing to apologize to his visitor for
the actions of the cat remarked: "By
George, that old cat is lonely down
here alone, next time come down 1
am going to bring him eve cat for
company."-American Stockman.

such conduct. Owners of stock ought
to be compelled to provide plenty of
pure water and good food. Drivers
ought to be punished for overlooking
teams. 1t ought to be a serious of
tense to overdrive a team; and to
work horse with sore shoulder
should land the guilty party in the
county Jail.
Here is work for those who feel in
clind to lend a helping hand to the
thousands of creatures that cannot
speak for theselves. Here is labor
of love that ought to enlist the sympa-
thies of the great American people,
moving to immediate action and the
stopping of a curse that is blot on
our boosted civilization.-Star Mirror.

tasteless. There is no better to be
found in Idaho or any other state, than
that in Caldwell. The reservoir was
cleaned this week and there was less
than two buckets of sediment found,
and it has not been cleaned for six
months. Superintendent Fuller says
that some boys have habit of tearing
off portions of the screening and
throwing rocks into the reservoir and
he is of the opinion that steps should
be taken to make some arrests.
The expense for power is now much
less than when the gasoline engines
were doing the pumping. The cost
now is less than $500 per day. The
expense to the city for gasoline last
month was $4,000. Some of the Tri-
bune readers may ask why it is that
new wells were put down when the
old ones were supplying an abundance
of water. The answer is, that the old
wells were only down about 20 feet
while the new ones are near 200, thus
assuring a permanent supply and an
absolute pure article. No person need
have fear about the water supply of
Caldwell.

1T DO MOVE"

Asheville, N c., May 25.-The
theory Rev. L. J. Cook, preacher of
the Sanctified Sect church, that "the
earth is not round, but fiat like hat
on a post" was sustained by the
judges of a debate held between him
self and Leroy Henry, high school
student in West Asheville. Rev. Mr..
Cook read from one bible to show that
the earth had foundation and asked
how it could have foundation if it
were flying in space without even a
string attached to tie it down. If the
earth is revolving, he maintained, an
eagle flying at the rate of sixty miles
an hour east, would find himself in a
minute $40 miles west, and if a base
ball was thrown up high enough to
stay minute it would land in Olive
street, st. Louis.
The student made the point that the
earth must revolve, else there would
be no day or night, but the sanctified
preacher floored him by quoting from
the bible the command that the sun
stand still.
elbow could the sun be made to
stand still if it was already still?"
was the clincher.

its of its own class in some appro-
pirate yell and it was very evident
that all the classes were represented
by bright and witty members.
The graduation class wore badges
made of ribbon Of their class colors,
garnet and brown, and the diplomas
were tied with the colors also. The
members of the graduating class were:

qua association of Canyon county was
formed with about 20 members at
present. The following officers were
elected

ley as chairman. Two meetigs will be
held during the year, one in June and
one in September and any one in the
county holding ChautauQua certifl-
cate is eligible to membership, and 1t

Smith left Douglas, Wyo., on October g..
1908, and were cumming their way east to
save their money when they were kicked
off at Valentine on the morning OF the 18th.
They then walked down the track until
they came to the Niobrara river, which is
about three and a half miles southeast.
They then laid down and went 10 sleep.
1t was here that Story shot Smith in the
back OF the head and then robbed the body
OF S5 and destroyed certificates of deposit
for $40, and after destroying all evidence
OF who the murdered man might be, except
a black satin purse, threw the body in the
river. He then went to Norfolk, Fremont,
Schuyler, Columbus and North Platte, from

LINCOLN, March 25.-(speclsl.)-Sinc the
defeat Of the Lincoln charter by the house
and the failure TO secure support enough
for reconsideration the politicians of the
city are making plans for the municipal
campaign. There is an abundance OF can
didates for the minor offices. but as yet
there has been no effort to capture the
larger places. Mayor Brown and Robert
Malone are only ones mentioned for mayor
on the democratic side. with the extreme
probability Mayor Brown will run.
The republican city committee is now
called to meet Saturday night next at the
Capital hotel to determine what the repub-
licans OF LAncoln will do. 1t is believed
that the committee will call an old-fash-
Toned city convention to select candidates
to go on he ballot by petition, and the plac-
ing of the names on the ballot in this way
will prevent any party designation what
ever. 1t is thought probable that the demo-
Gratis will come along also with some names
to go on by petition, as there seems no dis
position upon the par Of the mlronity party
to let the election go by default.
