unbroken to the very end, news of
Mr.. Harriman's death was conveyed to
New York before it came to Arden
and the valley below. Then, by way
of New York, the report spread quick
ly and confirmation was sought at the
residence by telephone. During the
last 10 days rumors have been so
persistent and variable that little con-
sideration was at first given the re-
port, and it was shock when a
voice on the hill replied; Yes, that is
correct; Mr.. Hartman died at 1855

Recent estimates of Mr.. Harriman's
personal wealth have varied all the
way from $5O,OOO,OO0 to 800 900, 900.

with which he was identified. Report
credited him whit large personal
holdings in the Atchison Topeka &
Santa Fe, Baltimore & Ohio, Della
ware & Hudson, Erie, Illinois Central,
New York Central and the Pacific
Mail Steamship company. He was re-
ported to have been the largest indi-
vidual stakeholder in the Wells Fargo
Express company, which only recently
acquired virtual monopoly of the ex-
press business in Mexico.
His Arden home, is was said, cost
more than 100000.

SCRIP IS Still
Held AS ILLEGAL

Secretary Ballinger Wednesday re-
ceived from Attorney-GenerA Wicker
sham second opinion, holding that
the cooperative plan of building gov
eminent irrigation projects is illegal
Under this plan settlers were permit
ted to aid in building canals, laterals,
ETC., and were paid in certificates,
which later were to be accepted by
the government from settlers in pay
ment for water rights in lieu of cash
Secretary Ballinger says no further
certificates will be issued, but that all
outstanding certificates heretofore is
sued by the reclamation service will
be redeemed at full face value and
paid in cash as quickly as money is
available in the reclamation fund. He
expects all such certificates to be re-
deemed in the near future.

Mr.. Newell stated that his twenty
years experience had given him some
ideas in this kind of work, but left
US in doubt as to what the ideas
were. He mentioned the facts that
the government was engaged in a
big undertaking, and that the work
couldn't be done in a minute, but that
the government officials would hasten
the work as fast as possible. He
thought that the government might
possibly undertake the north side, if
the settlers didn't. He had many
doubts and many desires. In fact
doubts and desires were about all he
did have.
Senator Warren next spoke. He
seemed to have a little energy even
if he didn't have any promises to
make. He told about having come
west about forty years ago and spoke
of sugar beets. Sugar beets don't
arouse much enthusiasm in these
parts. He left the assurances that
congress would do the best it could.
Senator Borah next spoke and as
usual had something to say. The
Senator compares very favor
ably with any United States Senator
who ever drifted into Caldwell. He
spoke of his proposal to have bonds is
sued and said that he would advocate
such a measure; as the government,
as a business proposition could not
afford to. quit now. He also advo-
Gated shortening the time of residence
from five to three years. He compli-
mented the people of Caldwell upon
the manner in which they had pre-
sented their case. After his remarks
the people felt as though there was
some good in the meeting.
Congressman Hamer made a few
general remarks in a happy vein.
He was greeted with applause and
listened to with attention.
After his remarks the meeting ad-
journed in order that the visitors
might go to Nampa to get square
meal, the which Caldwell cannot fur
nish.

Will BUILD fine
BRICK BUILDING

Miss Martha E. Gilgan has noti-
fed the city council that she is ready
to erect a modern business block ON
the corner of Blaine and Seventh
streets, provided the city will make
some street improvements there. Miss
Gilgan proposes to build 70x12O
pressed brick building across the
street from the City Hall. She
asks the council to put in some piling
along the street line on Indian creek
to confine that stream. She will start
to work on the building as soon as
the city signifies a willingness to
make the improvements. The city
council has taken the matter under
advisement. Indications are that the
city will do it's part, as the council is
favorably disposed.

RECLAMATION OFFICIALS
VISITED US SATURDAY

A meeting of the people of Caldwell
and surrounding county with a part
of the United States senate commit
tee on Irrigation, and some of the of
ficials of the Reclamation Service,
was most pleasant and interesting
and should prove profitable to all
concerned. In the party were Sena-
tors Carter of Montana, Warren of
Wyoming, Paynter of Kentucky and
Borah of Idaho; F. H. Newell, Di-
rector of the Reclamation Service;
Congressman Thomas Hamer of Ida
no; Stephen Eaton, official reporter
and Stephen D. Murphy, Seargent-at-
arms of the United States Senate,
who has the party in charge. Sena-
tor Paynter was not feeling well so
did not attend the public meeting.
The distinguished visitors were met
by several hundred citizens headed by
the Idaho State Band. After a few
selections by the band an adjourn
ment was taken to the City Hall.
At the meeting at the City Hall ].
H. Lowell, president of the Payette-
Boise Water Users Association, pre-
sided. He introduced Senator Car
ter, chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Irrigation. The Senator spoke
briefly but to the point. He quickly
reviewed the history, provisions and
operations of the Reclamation Act of
1902, under which the project was I'M
dertaken. He said that the commit
tee was here for the purpose of hear
ing from and listening to the people.
He assured US that the committee of
which he was member, would sup
port any measures for the benefit of
this project. He wanted information,
which was furnished by a list of
questions answered by Mr.. Walter
Grifiths. The questions have been
asked and answered a number of
times, and with which the people
here are familiar.
v. D. Hannah called attention to
the necessity of something being done
at once on the north side. The peo-
pie there must have water at once.
F. H. Newell was next introduced.

WORK Will START
Immediately

Col. E. R. Place has returned from
New York and other eastern cities.
The Tribune asked him for a state
ment of the railroad prospects and in
tentions. We were given an elegant
line of talk in the fertility of the soil
and the ideality of the climate of the
Boise valley, illustrated by some beau
tiful pictures of Mary's little lamb.
The colonel had nothing to say ex-
cept that he was in good health and
spirits. You can take 1t from us that
the colonel tells about as much about
railroads as a clam.
The Tribune has learned elsewhere
that there will be a party of eastern
capitalists here in a few days to look
over the Jordan Valley country, with
a view of financing some irrigation
projects there; that the railroad will
be built across Snake river before
spring; and that it will be extended to
Winnemucca as fast as possible.
There will be found in the advertising
columns of The Tribune this week an
advertisement of the opening of town
sites along the route of the proposed
road. This means that everything is
arranged for the building of the road.
This is no secret. The work will be
started at once and pushed to COM
pletion.

BOISE AROUSED.

The people of Boise are aroused
over the fact that the dairy center of
the Boise valley has gradually moved
from Boise to Caldwell The Boise
paper thinks that the result of the
local option fight in Boise has some
We would advise Boise to wake up
Long before the local option fight
started Caldwell had become the head
quarters of the dairy interests of this
part of the state. When the Halle
wood people decided to build at Cald-
well, Bosses doom was sealed. Cald-
we'll has two of the largest creameries
in Idaho. These two creameries will
buy and can use every quart of milk
produced in Ada and Canyon counties
and then a little more. Caldwell has
market for every pound of butter and
cheese that can be manufactured here.
Boise has lost out and that is all
there Is to II.
While Boise was dllly-dallylng with
saloons and establishing brothels,
Caldwell was locating and building
creameries; securing COWS and inter-
esting farmers In the dairy business.
It is natural that the city should have
captured the dairy industry. Poor
Boise will walks up some day, but not
until Caldwell is miles ahead of her

HARTMAN Died At HOME
THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Edward H. Hartman, the greatest
organizer of railroads the world has
ever known, met the only actual de-
feat of his active life Thursday at the
hands of death. Secluded in his mag
nificent home on Tower Hill he sue
cumbed to an intestinal disorder, after
a fight against the disease which will
rank for sheer grit with his remark
able struggles in the financial world.
The exact time of his death is
known only in that limited circle of
relatives and associates, who had so
effectually shielded Mr. Hartman
from all outside annoyances during
his last illness. The time was given
out as 1886 p. m. but Mrs. Mary
Simons, sister of the dead man. said
tonight that Mr.. Hartman died at
1870. Whether this apparent discrep-
ancy has any bearing on the current
belief that every effort was made to
lessen the influence of the financier's
death on the New York stock market
is problematical But it is significant
that the time of his death as officially
announced was just 35 minutes after
trading had ceased on the New York
exchange.
Mr.. Hartman died peacefully and
to the end his brilliant mind retained
its integrity.
With the secrecy that has been
maintained at the Hartman residence
