TOUR Of INSPECTIONBY CITY
RESULTS IN CLEAN UP

The following is the report of the
committee on sanitation. After spend
ing a day driving to various parts of
the city. 1t will be observed that they
were unbiased and appear TO have
been no respector of persons.
To the Honorable Mayor, City of Cald-
we'll:
The committee on sanitation recon-
mends that all property owners in
sewer districts be compelled to con-
meet with sewer and when this has
been done, fill in their clubhouse holes
In sanitary way. That all outhouses
not in sewer districts, cesspools, be
examined at once and where found to
be menace that same be filled in and
new holes dug. The mayor is asked
to appoint man temporarily to make
thorough inspection covering this mat
ter and report all places found to be
a menace to the health of the city.
This matter should be taken in hand
at once and pushed vigorously. The
matter of cleaning cesspools and out
house holes has not as yet been done
to any extent in this city. All alleys
should be kept celan and owners of
property adjoining should see that a
proper receptacle is placed in conve-
nient place for cans, rubbish, etc., and
that same is hauled away to dumping
grounds when full. Garbage should
be hauled away before it emits a bad
odor. Small pipe mains should be ex-
tended to sewer districts where city

CASE Of JAIL.
BREAKERS OFF

Judge Hagelin held an informal
matinee Monday. The principal
guests invited were eleven prisoners
brought from the Jail to answer to
the charge of destroying public prop
erty, in their attempt to break Jail re-
Gently. They were not representa-
tives of the highest type of citizens,
in fact some of them were the oppo-
site. Prosecuting Attorney Van Duyn
represented the state while one of the
prisoners acted for the defense, and
showed considerable ability, which if
put in the proper channels, would be
of value to him. The state had but
two witnesses, both of whom were
confined to the Jail at the time the at
tempt was made. The prisoners de-
manded that a material witness for
them be subpOenaed and asked that
the examination be postponed until
Thursday of next week. Since that
time, three of them have been con-
victed for burglary, and will be STOP
ping with Warden Shook before the
day of adjournment arrives.

SENT TO The
REFORM SCHOOL

Martin and Jess Garner had their
examination Monday on the charge of
forgery. They both waived examina-
ton before Judge Hagelin and were
Immediately taken before Judge Bry-
an, where they pied guilty to the
charge and were sentenced to the
Reform School until they are 81.
Their ages are fifteen and seventeen,
as testified to by their sister, Mrs.
Case. The boys look much older and
it is said that they are really II and
10. However, they will have to serve
their time on the basis of what their
sister testified to at the time of the
trial. The crime for which they were
convicted was for forging the name
Of Charley Madden to a $1,000 check
which Perry Groves cashed, and they
also endeavored to get M. Alexander
to cash a check for 100000. The
check was made payable to Ray Hart
ley and was signed by C. F. Madden,
but Alexander would not cash it un-
til he communicated with Mr.. Madden.
The checks were drawn on the Cald-
well Commercial Bank. After giving
them their sentence Judge Bryan gave
them a lecture for good measure.

Philip Zeal visited relatives in the
Deer Flat country the first of the
week.
]. B. Barker made flying trip to
New Plymouth on business this week.
Miss Egger, a forer teacher in one
of our schools, is visiting friends in
this vicinity for several days.
Mrs. Ora Cox and children are Wis

Mrs. Henry Cox has as fine a gar
den as can be found in any irrigated
district. 1t has required a great deal
of labor but is certainly an oasis to
the desert now.
Mrs. Baker has returned from her
visit to Boise.

HOMESTEADERS
GETTING BUSY

1t is evident from the aggressive
manner in which the homesteaders,
living on what is known as the North
Side of the Payette- Boise Project are
in earnst in thir endeavors to either
have the government commence work
or release the land and permit private
capital to put water on the 10000
acres in that part of the project.
Meetings have been held this week at
Middleton, Notus and Parma, and a
general meeting will be held in Cald-
well today. The meeting held at Mid
dleton Wednesday night was UNUSUAL
ly large, there being over 100 people
present. Ten delegates were selected
to attend the Caldwell meeting.
Strong resolutions were adopted, ask
ing that the government inform the
people just when they intend to COM
mence work, or if they intend to delay
for an indefinite period, to withdraw
from the project and permit private
capital to act. 1t was quite evident
from the several speeches made that
the homesteaders are of one mind in
their demands.
1t has been about six years since
the government announced their in
tensions of constructing irrigation
works for this part of the project and
as it is said chat hope deferred max
eth the heart sick" it is not to be won
dered at that the people located on
those lands are aroused and will be
heard through the right of petition.
Capital is ready to take hold and push
the construction to a successful issue
If the government will only say the
word.

DISTRICT COURT HAS BUSY
WEEK..-O'NEIL CONVICTED

Judge Bryan did rather light bus
mess in court Monday. This was ow-
ing to the fact that the criminal cases
on the calendar would be tried first,
and the jury would not be present I'M
til Tuesday morning. Two cases
were disposed of during the day.
One was the State VS.. RASPBERRY and
State VS.. Martin and Jess Garner, all
of whom plead guilty. Court then
adjourned until Tuesday at 10 a. m.
Tuesday.
The first business was the arraign-
ment of Jack Smith for horse steal
ing. The court appointed R. B. Scat
terday as his attorney, who announc-
ed that the prisoner would take the
statutory time in which to plead. He
was ordered to appear in court June
9Th.
The firm OF Graybill, Piper G Co.
made application to the court for a
change in their corporate name. 1t
was ordered that it be changed to
Johnson Bros. & Co.
The next case was the State VS..
Harry O'Neil on a charge Of burglary.
o. M. Van Duyn represented the state
and ]. ]. Plowhead the defendant. A
jury was empanneled and evidence in
trOduced, but there was nothing to it.
The prisoner was found guilty of bur-
glary O'Neil was one of three float
ers who had burglarized hardware

no question as to their guilt, yet they

water is not already on the street. Mo-
nure should be hauled away frequent
ly and barns kept in a sanitary con-
dition.
The matter of outhouses is one of
the gravest problems, especially as the
population is growing denser, and the
matter of keeping these places per-
rectly sanitary should be at all times
strictly enforced, and inspection made
at intervals of at least six months.
We recommend if not already cover
ed by ordinances, that one be passed,
covering the matter.
Attached is a list of places found
by the committee to be requiring i'm
mediate attention:
Drew: clean up stable and manure.
Gilgan: alley needs cleaning.
Three lots northwest of Ruby's barn
order cement sidewalk in at once.
Loveland: clean manure out of alley.
DuttOn: clean up manure
Cooper lots across street from Bap-
fist church: clean up.
DIR. Nichter: clean up.
Alley behind Rice & Lowells block:
clean up.
Wyngarden: open alley.
Elligde: clean up manure; keep
your COW in barn.
Hoskins: clean up alley and barn.
Aven: clean up manure.
Mrs. Williams: clean up back of
Jones.

his father were stopping 1t was found
that the boys injury was much more
serious than was first considered. He
was Immediately brought to Caldwell
and taken on to Boise where an ex-
animation revealed the true condition
of the injury. The patient recovered
consciousness and conversed intelli-
gently with his father, but his spirit
soon passed to the great beyond. The
remains were returned to Caldwell

Lincoln, Neb.

were permitted to attend. Owing to

interesting program for a like recep-
ton, but this time 1t was thought the
best way to entertain an old soldier is
to let him tell of some OF his exper-
ienoes in the war, which Rev. w. s.
Hawkes. and Rev. Waggoner did to the
enjoyment of those present. Light
refreshments were served by the
young ladies. which added to the
pleasure OF the evening.

Letters to Ann Laurie From NepheWS and NieceS
CANYON PICNIC PROMISES Joy
Running Stream, Broad Hay Wagon
and Lunch Are Requisites
tFIrst PrIze)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IF intended to go for picnic I'd
hire large hay wagon. A few
= OF the party could furnish the pro-
visions one could bring the sand
wiches, another the cake and soda
pop and so on. The lunch could be
placed either in the center Of the wa
gon or under the seat where 1t would
be safe and leaving the edge OF the
wagon for us to sit around and hang
our feet over while we would blow
horns.
I think that is much nicer than to sit
in the middle and be bounced about.
almost forgot. the chaperon. but
mamma always goes with us. Some-
times IL doesn't matter IL two chap
erons 20 along. About half past or
Z O'clock we would start out for q
cool canyon where there is plenty OF
water like the Arroyo Seco or Eaton's
canyon.
After long ride we could play
horse shoe while some of the party
gather sticks for a fire and build
furnace of stones. Wl1ile the coffee
Is cooking we'd spread the tRblecloth
over the ground or on a nice fiat rock
II there was one large enough.
The soda pop could be put in the
stream to cool while we lunched. Then
we'd start for long tramp through
the canyon and pick Wild flowers,
gather ferns, climb trees and wade
in the water. When we were all tired.
back to the hay wagon we could go.
After long. but merry ride we come
to the city and 1t would seem good to
be. home again. DAVID MARTIN.

= wife boys and girls. ana tell them
to bring old clothes or bathing suits.
When all got there, we would change
our clothes and away to the meadow

Papa or uncle would put some water
in the reservoir, and the boys would
wade and build bridges across the
creek. The girls would wade up and
down the creek and make sand houses
and caves.
When dinner time came we would
spread the table cloth under the big
cottonwood in the meadow.
After dinner we would hunt pretty
rocks and flowers, and If had the pic
mic before the men put the hay into the
barns, we would have swings in one
barn for the boys and the girls.

~RATTLERS' ATTEND PICNICS
Gorgeous Poppy Fields Make Scene
for Easter Monday FroIic
(FIrst PrIzel

Dear Aunt Laurie:
r WAS pleased to see my letter print-
ed in the Junior. I am spending
Il the winter up here, but my home
is in Sherman.
II were to get up picnic, I would
find place to put see-saws, and IL
there were any trees around would put
up swings, too. It would be fun to
play drop the handkerchief and other
games.
TO have a picnic on Easter Monday
would be great fun: the grown folks
could hide Easter eggs, and the chill
dren would hunt for them. Then at
lunch time every one could have all
the eggs they wanted to eat.
The incest time to have picnic
would be when wild flowers are sweet
est and prettiest. Poppies grow in
abundance here. From where my aunt
lives the hills seem tire red.
There are also lots of snakes up here,
especially rattIers, so picnic parties
have to be on the lookout and be care
full where they go,
There was a picnic given up here a
few days ago. / was not able to at
tend, so can tell nothing about it.

hides and the others hunt. 1t is lots of
fun. ), t
/ would also have shooting match
for both the boys and girls and prize
for the winner.
II there were old folks along a story
would be nice after lunch, and a violin
solo woui6 be fine.
After lunch, especially a big one,
we would not feel very much like play
ing-at least shouldn't.
I am waiting Cor Sunday after next,
SO that may read a few of the ideas
OF the other boys and girls.
