Has Enough Carey.

w. H. Look returned from Emmett,
where the people are having water
supplied under the Carey act. These
people were promised water two years
ago, and today the water is not there
in sufficient quantity to do them any
paying interest on the water rights
and get nOahing for it.. But by the ma
nipulation of the capitalists these
lands are selling for 5000 per acre.
These people all have, enough of the

Some months ago he concluded to

After a thorough investigation he de-

grocery was for sale, purchased the
store. Messrs. Stofstall and McArtor

live, active business men and will
undoubtedly continue to make the
business a SUCCESS. They will occupy

SPOKANE RAILROAD MAG
NATE VISITS At Caldwell

Mr.. and Mrs. r. e. Strahorn of
Spokane were the guests Wednesday
of Mr. and Mrs. Blatchley The Stra-
horns were among the first to locate
in Caldwell In fact, Strahorn was
one of the original townsite owners
when the town was plated in 1882.
He also constructed the canal which
bears his name and was for years
one of the original Caldwell boosters.
Mr.. and Mrs. SNrahorn made a trip to
the government reservoir and were
greatly surprised at the development
OF the country. They now find beauti-
full homes surrounded by beautiful
waving fields of hay and grain where
once the coyotes and jackrabbits held
undisputed sway. Mr.. StrahOrn is in
terested at present building a rail-
road from Spokane to the coast. The

NAMPk NEARLY WIPEDOIT
By A DISASTROUS FIRE

Nampa experienced the largest and
most destructive fire in the history of
this section OF Idaho Saturday after
noon, when that portion of the city
bounded by Front and First streets
and Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues
was destroyed. The total loss will
run TO about 100000, with an insur-
ance of about $15O,00O. The fire
alarm was sounded at 3 o'clock and In
three hours So business blocks were
in ashes and 60 firms were out of
house and home. Help was sent from
Caldwell and Boise and much prop
erty was saved. The Boise steamer
did great work and alone effected a
great saving in property. The Lead
er-Herald'si account of the origin OF
the fire follows;
THE fire started about 8 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon in the Arnold CT
gar store, A fairly dressed stranger
entered the store. and picking up a
bomb, inquired the price. Upon being
told he said that he would see how il
would burn Before anyone thought
of his having any real intention of do
ing so. he applied the match. Mr.
Arnold attempted to throw the bomt
out but 1t exploded in his hands
throwing fire over the room and ig
hitting the other fireworks. Every
thing seemed to burst into a blaze al
at once. The three or four people u
the room were barely able to get GU
through the door, which was open ant
but a few feet away. The report OF
the streets was that the man wa

AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK
INCREASES FOUR times

The Tribune appends an interesting
statement showing the growth of the
resources of the American National
bank month by month for the year
ending July 6, 1909. The American
National was a year old July 9th and
the growth of the bank was steady
and phenomenal This bank has new
err made an. effort for large fostings,
having been content with the natural,
steady growth that follows conserva-
tive banking. Each month shows an
increase over the previous month.
The bank was organized under the
laws of Idaho, with a capital stock
of $4,000. In a few months it was
necessary to increase the capital to
$4,000, and it is not unlikely that
the capital stock will again be dou-
bled in the near future, as the de-
mand for stock and the assured in
creased business demands increased
banking facilities. At the time II
was deemed better to nationahze the
institution. The growth OF the
American National bank has shown
that there was room in Caldwell for
another bank at the time of its Or
ganization. In view of the fact that
Caldwell also has three other strong
banks, the record made by the
American is remarkable.

one ready to jump at the others
throat, and suspecting the other of
every dire design that the moral or
the statutory law might prohibit.
Would you imagine it possible for a
third railway man, unknown and I'M
heralded, to step in between those
two warning giants and build a road
on their battle-ground, spending mil
lions and millions, without disclosing
the parentage of his money bags, re-
sisting every inquiry and battling all
the detectives upon his trail, for three
years?
The feat of mystifying the trans
portation interests of the entire West
as we'll as of Wall Street has been
performed SO successfully by Robert
K. Strahorn that to this day no one
knows more about his North Coast
railway, with his 700 miles of pro-
iected railway and 80 miles of COM
pleted roadbed, than when he first
sent his surveyors into the field
This North Coast railway sindeed
the enigma of the Northwestern rail-
way situation. 1t is the riddle of rid
dies. Time and again have his rivals
thought to pry from President Stra-
horn his secret in the courts, or sur
prise It from him while he slumbered.

Nampa's FOurt.h,

The people of Nampa had a great
Fourth of July celebration. Every
thing was carried out as though there
never had been fire. Everything on
the program was carried out to the

10000. There were ball games, two
bands, rock drilling contests, dances
and everything that goes to make a
good Fourth of July celebration. The

success she attained in the face OF
so many discouragements.

WORK Will
START At Once

The Tribune has reliable informa-
ton that the Oregon Short Lines
south side branch will connect with
the main line at Caldwell; and that
actual construction work will be start
ed at this end within 80 days. The
Short Line is building down the Snake
river from Bull, and construction
work will start from this end in the
next few days. Col. q. r. Place, who
is to be the superintendent of con-
struction, left this week for Salt Lake.
It is presumed that a definite am
nouncement will be made upon his re-
turn.
The building OF the Malheur irriga-
ton project will be great thing for
CALDWELL indirectly. The success Of
that project demands the use OF NAL
heur canyon for a reservoir. II this
be done the extension Of the Vale
branch to the coast is impractical and
almost impossible. This leaves the
Caldwell route as the only feasible
route to the coast. This also means
that road win be built south to
Winnemucca, Nevada, and also to
southwestern Idaho, with Caldwell as
the center Of the entire system. IT
is now only a matter Of short time
till Caldwell is made division point
Of the Main line. The Tribune hopes
to give it's readers more definite in
foramtion in its next issue.
