COMMERCIAL CLUB.
The Caldwell Commercial Club is
unusually responsive to public inter-
ests. 1t does not believe in letting
Providence do all that is done for the
city, as a single instance demon
strates.. The result of three days
canvassing by a committee of three
was to get $500 subscribed for the
general promotion Of the city.
! The Club has an active membership
of $50, maintains sumptuous Club
rooms, and the members invariably

OUR BAND.
The Idaho State Band of Caldwell
is rightly one of the glories of the
city. 1t is commonly admitted as be-
ing the best interior town band in the
Pacific Northwest. Its leader is a
well-known master of band and or
chestra music, and the concerts of the
band on the streets each week edify
the public.
AS A HORSE CENTER.
Caldwell is fast forging to the front
as a horse center. 1t is the head
quarters of two dealers on mammoth
lines-one an importer of famous
bred horses, and million dollar bus
mess has been done by the other OPP
orator in the past three or four years.
A daily stage brings Jordan Valley

the business in and out for interior
points tributary to Caldwell, and not
including local business.
INDUSTRIALLY CONSIDERED.
Caldwell has the largest elevator
and flour milling plant in Idaho, a
$50 barrel mill, with a storage ca
pacity of 100000 bushels of grain,
and which will consume vastly more
wheat than the section now grows.
The largest stone and marble works
in the state is here, as is also the larg-
est cement block, tile and building ma
terial industry.
Caldwell is the distributing en-
ter for great power plant on the
Snake river, and can furnish an
abundance of electric power at min
imum cost.
Two creameries are capacitated to
churn much more milk than dairymen
can furnish at the present writing.
A large planning mill and up-to-
date ice plant, an artificial stone
works, cement block factory and two
brick yards and four large lumber
yards are here.
GOLDEN OPENINGS.
Although annually shipping mil
lions of pounds of wool, we have
neither securing plant nor wooden
mill.
Although we ship carloads of fruit
per season, we have no canning fac
tory. Our over-ripe fruit is allowed
to go to waste.
Although our potato output is
enormous, we have no starch factory
We urgently need, too, fruit evap-
orator, a vinegar and pickle factory
condensed milk factory, and fruit
and produce commission house.
But we have abundance of fuel and
cheap power to operate manufactor-
les.
BANKING STRENGTH.
Our four banks have about $4,000.
900 in deposits-about $40O per per.
son, on basis of 5000 population.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Caldwell has 100000 in public
buildings 100000 court house, g
$4,000 city hall, a $4,000 depot
among the number.
EDUCATIONAL.
The College of Idaho, located a
Caldwell, is the only institution il
Idaho, aside from the State Univer
sity, of college rank. There is nj

Nineteen were silver medals and nine
of these were for Canyon county
fruits.
LIVESTOCK.
While an irrigated farming and
fruit growing district, Canyon county
is surrounded on the north, east and
south, by high, rolling hills and
mountains, which are covered with
grass and timber that afford sum
mer pasture for great bands of sheep,
cattle and horses that seek the huge
hay stacks of this county's valleys
for winter support. These mountains
also contain gold and silver mines
that afford an eager home market for
the fruit, grain and vegetable prod
uct of this valley.
PRICES OF LAND.
Improved lands in the county have
reached a value of $75 to 5000 per
acre, and pay good return N IT,
investment at this figure. Raw
lands sell at $40 an acre and upwards,
and can by improvement and cult

five years fully $50 per cent.

No other medicine for woman's ills

icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia f.

For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation. liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

A Good Breakfast Needful.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, iconoclast- in
ordinary to the medical profession, as
usual upsets previous ideas OF bodily
health in an article in Woman's Home
Companion. DIR. Hutchinson has a fac
ulty for restoring to US our self-respect,
and assuring us that, left alone, We are
not such idiots, after all. In this particu-
lar article, for instance, he points out that
the idea Of eating little in the summer
time is q faliacy. OF breakfast, for in
stance, he says:
at is customary to make the first meal
of the day slightly the hghtest and dis
tinctly the plainest and simplest Of the
three. II there be any deficiency of the
appetite, fast is the meal at which
this is most likely to show itself. But
this lack of appetite is, in nine cases out Of
ten, clearly traceable to sleeping in an
unventilated room or to late hours in
foul air the plight before, or to insufficient
exercise the preceding day, and is no in
dication that the body really requires less
food at this time. Perfectly healthy men
who sleep with their windows wide open
tell you that they enjoy their breakfast as
well as any other meal OF the day, and
many even call it their best meal
"Another popular delusion in regard to
the lghtness and unimportance OF the
breakfast is that widespread subteriuge,
the continental breakfast, consisting OF
cup Of coffee and some fruit or q single
roll. This is very pretty breakfast as far
as it goes, but it doesn't go far; and the
sole basis for its adoption on the continent
is that it is only intended as q temporary
tide over, until the real breakfast OF meat,
eggs, fish, with beer or wine, which is
taken about 10 or II o'clock like a very
early luncheon.
"If you have not a good appetite for
breakfast, make it your business to 90
and get one, instead Of allowing yourself
to be blinded by this morbid state OF
Affairs and deciding that all you really
need is cup Of coffee and . roll or an
orange or puff Of breakfast bran"
