ARNEY Tells OF
Caldwell DOINGS

Wednesdays Salt Lake Tribune
contains an interesting article from
the pen of c. E. Arney, on Caldwell
and Canyon county. The article deals
with facts, fads and fancies, as seen
by Mr.. Arney in a recent visit to
Caldwell We quote extracts that may
prove interesting to our readers:
Caldwell and the County of Canyon
are blessed with many superb assets,
of which the Jealous Caldwell folk
are justly proud.
Chief among these assets are good
land, plenty of water, a salubrious
climate and most befitting attrib-
ute to preside over the extraordinary
physical elements, very high order
of progressive citizenship.
Caldwell is proud to be the seat of
the government of this rather ideal
young empire which was voted into
existence by the people of southern
Ada county sixteen years ago this
fall. 1t is also justly eager to main
tain its prestige as the county seat
of this empire whose boundaries in
clude such spirited rival towns as
Nampa, the Junction City, Payette,
the melon center, and Emmett, the
renowned peach country, all of which
look jealousy down the avenue of
time toward the day when they may
so divide Canyon county, that they
may be seats of county government.
This county today covers an area
of some 1900 square miles and has an
assessed valuation approximately
$9,O00,000.
Breaking away from old Ada three
years after statehood, Canyon has
given good account of her steward
ship in the galaxy of Idaho counties.
She has contributed two governors,
Frank Steunenberg and John T. Nor
rison-both of Caldwell-and in af-
faris of state her delegations and rep
resentatives have stood high in con-
ventions, legislatures and commercial
bodies.
Aside from these chosen to office,
such Canyon county names as Moss,
Sebree, Dewey, Horn, Gwinn. Rice,
Bailey, Coughanour, Walling, Bilder-
back, Hartley and Foote stand high in
the minds and the hearts of the men
of Idaho, who love the Gem state more,
because these men are a part of it.
This is followed by individual men,
tion of some of our county officers
with such comment as appears peril
nant to Mr.. Arney. Political fore
casts are intermingled with the bust
ness affairs of the county. According
to Mr.. Arney Commissioners Van Der
dausen, Rinehart and Kerrick will
stand for reelection, but that Messrs.
Van Derdausen and Rinehart will have
opposition. Mr.. G. w. Stovel is men,
toned as probable candidate on the
Republican ticket for clerk of the
District court.

State of the United States with refer
ence to taking of dispositions in the

WILL INSPECT The COWS HERE

DR.. Paul P. Taylor, veterinary in
spector in the government bureau Of
animal industry arrived in Caldwell
Tuesday morning. He will devote
several days to inspecting the dairy
COWS in the vicinity of Caldwell for
tuberculosis. He says the disease is
not so common or widespread west
OF the Rocky Mountains as it 10
east. He accounts for this by the
fact that the cows here are not so
closely confined. The farmers are
greatly interested in the outcome of
his Investigations here. The tests
will be made under the direction of
the city health officer.

GILLESPIE HAS
COURT HEARING

The case of Thomas Gillaspie Of
Nampa VS.. the county commissioners
of Canyon county was argued in the
district court Saturday before Judge
Ed. L. Bryan. This is case where
Gillispie attacks the constitutionality
of the local option law of Idaho.
Some time ago he filed a protest
against the county commissioners call
ing the special election. The protest
was overruled by the commissioners
and Mr.. Gillispie appealed to the dis
trict court.
The point raised by the attorneys
for the appellant is that the law is
insufficient in that it does not pro-
vide time when voters might be reg
istered for such special election, and
is consequently null and void and of
no force. The appellant was repre-
sented by Messrs. Paine and Snow
of Boise. County Attorney Van
Duyn represented the commissioners.
The case will be watched with great
interest as upon it rests the fate Of
1daho's local option law. Which ever
way Judge Bryan holds, the case will
be appealed to the Supreme court. 1t
is said there will be a special session
of the Supreme Court to hear this
case.

IDAHO RULES SHEEP WORLD.

IDAHO RULES SHEEP WORLD.
In an interview published in the
Chicago Live Stock Reporter, of a
recent date, F, J. Hagenbarth of the
Wood Live Stock Co., Of Spencer, Ida,
says:
"Idaho rules the sheep world, hav-
ing gradually reached the acme of
perfection from a sage brush begin
ming. Making special reference to
sheep husbandry and wool growing,
the higher tone and improvement
scale of development which animates
the business today is not appreciated
or thought of by the average observer.
Twenty years ago we used to send to
the market a class of mutton the peo-
pie could barely eat. They were aged
wethers, tough and unsavory. Today
the very best mutton to be found in
the eastern markets and grills are
lambs that come from Idaho. There
was a time when Vermont, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Texas ruled the
business. But these have all been de-
posed in turn and Idaho today rules
the sheep world. We not only ship
more lambs to market than any 9TH
er state in the union, but we ship a
better quality"

THE VALUE OF THE GOAT.

Rarely indeed do we hear or read
anything complimentary to the goat.
We have been educated to regard the
goat as a highly odoriferous animal,
whose habitat is vacant lots, ash
piles, back yards, alleys and highways
in many chimes and which feeds vo-
raciously upon weeds, brush, cloth
ing, clothes lines, tin cans, garbage
boxes, old iron and similar delicacies,
making itself both smelt and felt, if
not seen and heard. 1t will probably
be surprising to many to be informed
that the goat has considerable in
trinsic worth.
In many foreign countries people
consider the goat very valuable ami
NAL. In this country, experts in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture are studying the industry of
goat raising in other lands and en-
couraging its introduction here

correct and approved. The people Of
Idaho have an interest in the ex-
penditure of these funds, however,

stating that you wished to examine
the funds, and ask if any objection
would be made. do not anticipate
that any will be offered.

TAFT FAVORS
BOND ISSUE
PRESIDENT SAYS WE MUST RE.
CLAIM ALL THE DESERT LAND,
BOrah Highly Gratified With Outlook
for Action by Congress Next Winter
May Be Some Opposition But Not
Enough to Defeat Ends.

Senator Borah's plan to issue bonds
to complete the government reclama-
ton projects now under way meets
with the approval of President Taft.
In an interview published in Tues
days Statesman, Senator Borah says: :
II am in position to state that the
president will give his full indorse-
ment and assistance to the PROPOSE
ton of issuing sufficient bonds or GER
tificates of Indebtedness payable out
of the public lands funds with which
to complete the irrigation projects now
begun. Of course there might be some
change of opinion as to the particular
manner of raising the fund but l think
and l am authorized to say, that the
president proposes in some way to as
sist in raising this fund either by
bonds or otherwise sufficient to COM
plete the projects now begun. I an
ticipate he will cover the subject in
his Spokane speech. But he will at
least, as he stated, give the matter
his full support next winter at the
opening of congress.
"He also stated very emphatically,
that he was in favor of having the
certificates of Indebtedness outstand-
ing, taken care of, that they must be
paid up, and I think there is no ques-
ton as to his full determination in re-
gard to both these matters. My in
terview with him was entirely salts
factory and he was as usual, when
he takes up subject, very enthus-
iastic about it. The secretary of the
interior is also in favor of both these
propositions. feel, therefore, that
the question of issuing bonds and
taking care of these outstanding GER
tifcates and completing these projects
is almost an assured proposition.
81 have no doubt at all that we will
have some opposition in congress but
I feel, to say the least, very san
guine that with the presidents full
Endorsement we will be able to put
the matter through. The next step
is to get unity of action of all the
western members of congress and as
many in the east as we can. I did not
have time to discuss in detail the
question of shorter homestead resi-
dence and some other details of the
matter. But know the president has
become greatly interested in the ques-
ton of the reclamation of arid lands.
AS we were riding up from Utah
Sunday afternoon and while observ-
ing the great stretch of country he
said: we must never quit until all
these lands are under cultivation that
are capable of cultivation, either by
private enterprise or by the aid of The
government

quiet, they often distracted attention
from the preacher. 1t was the habit
of the president to have preachers
from all denominations, and Method
lists, Episcopalians, Catholics, He
brews, Baptists and advanced think
ers had their respective hearing.
The choir, however often grew rest
less and Miss Wilson in particular
was prone to creep unobserVed out o.
the choir loft and walk on the campus
The whole choir often followed hel
daring example. One long-winded
Methodist was particularly tiresome
and when he preached it was a safe
wager that the singers could be founC
anywhere but in the church during
the sermon.
However there came a Sunday
when this particular shouter abso
lutely lost his voice when he
had reached "tenthly." The serv
ice had to stop, of course
and the voiceless preacher whispered
that the choir would sing the last
hymn A painful pause ensued I'm
broken by any response from the
choir. The president parted the cur
tains and found the choir loft de
serted except for a freshman who was
contentedly curled up on the organ
seat fast asleep.
Next Sunday no curtain divided the
choir from the congregation and fol
once the singers were among the
most attentive listeners.
