CHECQUE ARTIST
VISITS CALDWELL

Caldwell business men are evidently
easy marks for the check artists who
are passing through the county. One
of these gentlemen was in town last
week and was DESTROYS of doing some
trading and he had doubtless seen
Alexander's bargain sale as advertised
in the Tribune, but not having the
cash he gave George Merritt, who is
in charge of the clothing emporium a
check for $3.50 on the First National
Bank of Payette and quietly left for
parts unknown. His signature was K.
F. st. John A warrant is out for his
arrest
Thursday ]. B. Wells, of Boise, ar
rived in the city and being we'll ac-
quainted with Dan Brown, and know
ing that Dan never refused friend a
favor, he only wanted check cashed
for $40. Dan might have suffered a
little, but he dished out the long
green. But through some means he
got a bunch that the check was N. G.
and when No. pulled in Dan went
over to the depot, found Mr.. Wells,
and requested him to. take up the
| check, which he did and tried to look
pleasant-so did Dan.
During Wells stay in the city he
called on his friend, Perry Groves
and was so glad to meet him that he
requested him to cash a check on
Sumpter bank for only $500. PER-!

old friend that he came near falling
in getting to his safe for the money

Next Monday night witnesses the
final and last appearance of the pres
ent city administration. There will
be no red or blue fire to celebrate the
event as the curtain is rung down. 1t
would not be fair to say that the adj
ministration had been a bowling sue
cess, for it has not, neither was it an
entire failure. There are a number
of good levelheaded men on the board,
but there was a lack of harmony from
the night the mayor made his appoint
ments, and the feeling engendered at
that time continued during the term.
This was in a measure the cause for
not obtaining better results. There
has been since the election vindica-
tive feeling manifested by some of the
council, which has been apparent In

GRANGE GIVES
COLLEGE SlOO

The first anniversary of the Cald-
well Grange, No. "a, was appropriate
ly celebrated Thursday evening. d. c.
Mullen, master of the State Grange;
f. P. French, secretary; and j. r. Ken
nedy, member of the executive com
mittee, were among the visitors. There
were present also number of the
members of the Notus and Pleasant
Ridge oranges. All the visitors made
interesting talks. They all reported
their respective local oranges in flour
ishing condition. They were followed
by charter members of Caldwell
grange. The ladies entertained with
bounteous basket supper
The grange authorized and a note
was duty executed in the sum of 500,
payable to the COLLECT of Idaho.

by May first. Then we have our own
time to get the next $4,000 and get
Carnegie's $4,000, making a total of
$175,OOO. Then we are in shape to go
to Rockefeller General Education
board and ask for 100000, $4,000, or
$4,000 as we care to undertake. You
see when we get a start of $125,OO0 we
begin to attract a class of givers who
will not be pioneers in giving, but give
where there is already good start
If worked right we ought to bring to
C. of 1. from 100000 to 100000 dur
ing the next five years. But now is
the crisis. We must clinch the $780,
900, or we lose No other time in the
history of the school can be so i'm

CANYON COUNTY MAY ISSUE
BONDSTO TAKE UPWARRANTS

There is some talk and absolute
necessity that the board of county
commissioners take some action
toward loking up the Indebtedness Of
the county. Canyon has a warrant in
debtedness of a trife over $1O1, 100000.
The proposition it to hold a special
bond election, and take up all out
standing warrants. The bonds could
be floated at per cent interest while
the warrants now pay seven. At this
latter rate all warrants are discount
ed from three to five per cent. The
condition makes a very poor showing
for the county, and those holding the
warrants can i'll afford to discount
them. 1t would place the county on
cash basis, which is most desirable,

Bill Fuller and Walt Freeman had
their hearing in Justice Stokesberry' 8
court at Emmett Wednesday. Fuller
was bound over to the district court in
the sum of $4,000 and Freeman fur
nished bonds for $1,000. They furnished
the bonds and were released from Gus
tody. Clint White, one of the states
important witnesses, was brought to
Caldwell and placed under $500 for
his appearance as witness. He had
no trouble in procuring the necessary
bonds.

Caldwell Wins
over BUTTE

The Caldwell and Butte teams met
on the home diamond Wednesday.
While the audience was not large,
what it lacked in numbers it made up
in enthusiassc. The weather was more
like tho late fall, being cold. and dis
Agreeable wind prevailed during the
game. While there was none of the
usual spectacular plays made, there
was some phenomenal decisions given
by the umpire OF course it is but nat
ural for the umpire to be accused of
being crooked, but in this game, the
score stood three to three in the ninth
inning. Ely, the on-armed wonder,
struck three-bagger and made third
when the umpire declared a foul. OF
course it was but natural that the
Caldwell team should take the deci-
sion somewhat to heart, as bets had
been made that the home team would
not score, but when the game ended
the talley showed that the game
stood three to three and had the de-
cision been fair, Caldwell would have
won by one score. However, the
Butte boys knew they had been in a
ball game. The same teams will play
another game one week from next Fri
day, at Caldwell.

doing work without legal authority.
Take, as an example, the laying of
the cement walks at the city hall, the
grading of certain streets, and the
work on the foot bridge across Indian
creek on 9Th avenue, should all have
been left for the new council to at
tend to. The new council will take
hold of the affairs of the city with a
debt of over $4,000, which is more than
can be raised by the full levy which is
permitted by law. 1t is true that the
present council inherited a debt from
their predecessors, but the debt has
increased, while the revenues have in
creased in a greater proportion.
One of the charges made against the
incoming board is, that they are boos'
tiers, yet even boosters require money

WATER REACHES
Lower dam

The water arrived in the lower dam
of the government reservoir sometime
during Monday night. All the ground
formerly occupied by Hubbard & Carl
son for camp purposes is now under
water. The water has reached the
gates and there is some seeping
through into the steel flume located at
the base of the dam.
The view from the embankment will
be one of grandeur when the vast eX
panse of land contained in the reser-
voir is covered with water. To ordi
nary observers it seems that it would
take until next fall to get the entire
lake filled. However, as it is a fact
that large bodies move slowly, the set
tiers under the project will have to be
patient, as it would endanger all the
entertainments, should water be forced
through the canal in too great guam
tity At present the canal is carrying
only about % per cent of it's capacity,
The trip from Caldwell to the reser-
voir is easily made. now that the gas
oline car is in operation; the round
trip is made in about 80 minutes. This
time gives the passengers about IL
minutes at the dam. The trip is well
worth taking and the traffic on the
line is increasing.

a new trial for Ed Wlnn, who was
found guilty last December of man
slaughter in owyhee county for killing
Spanish sheep herder. Winn has
been out on bail since the trial. The
grounds on which Mr. Stone based his
claim for new trial for his client
was that the jury who tried the case
became separated from the balm be-
fore a verdict was rendered. Judge
Bryan was satisfied with the showing
made and granted a new trial, which

and also save the county money in
interest. A bond issue is the only pos
sible way out of our present dilema.
Another thing that should be con-
sidered in this connection and provid-
ed for in the bond election is new
county jail At this writing there are
sixteen prisoners and one insane per-
son in the county Jail. The Jail has
four cells, which is wholly inadequate
for a county the size of Canyon. There
is always from eight to ten prisoners
in the Jail The commissioners should
provide for a new jail or at least an
addition to the old one. While we are
