Took q Shine" to Him.

Once a young Spanish Amer
ican arrived in New York who
was morbidly afraid of being mis-
taken for foreigner. He wished
to be just like a New Yorker in
all he did. For advice on how
to act he sought countryman of
his. a wag. who had been a resi-
dent OF New York for years.
You will have a hard time.

succeed in deceiving the New

Law and Order League.

A move to accomplish the strict
enforcement of the city prohibition Or
dinance was started at d meeting of
citizens at the Y. M. q. A. Sunday
afternoon. 1t took the form of the
organization of a Law and Order
league, with d. w. Ainey temporary
president and w. M. Davis temporary
secretary. The league appointed a
committee Of nine to interview Mayor
Coughanour and ask that the mayor
and the citizens cooperate in en-
forcing the ordinance referred to.
This interview, which was held Mon
day night, ended by the mayor stat
ing he would proceed to enforce the
ordinance in it's strietest sense II the
citizens would furnish evidence of
violation of It, and share with the city
the expense of probable lawsuits, and
furnish advisory counsel, All this the
committee agreed to do.-Payette In

GOODING LANDS
SCHOOL FOR DEAF

Monday by unanimous vote of the
board of education the deaf, dumb and
blind school was located at Gooding.
The news of this was a surprise as
the people thought the fight was be-
tween Weiser and Boise and that one
or the other would surely get the in
stitution. The decision was the result
of deadlock over the above named
places. For weeks now the matter
has been in the air. Secretary Lans-
don made hard fight for his home
town; but the governor and super
intendent of schools were determined
that if Boise could not get the school
Weiser shouldn't. The town of Good
ing is to be congratulated. The Tri-
bune thought that Weiser would GER
tainly get the school, but it makes
little difference. Gooding is well and
centrally located. The climate is
healthful and the surroundings pleas

TELEPHONE line
TO JORDAN VALLEY

Messrs. E. A. Clark and C. ].
Sincel have returned from Jordan
Valley, where they have been for sew
eral days, interesting the people at
Jordan Valley, and the people at in
termediate points between Caldwell
and Jordan Valley, in the establish
ment of telephone line between that
place and Caldwell. They were en-
tirely successful in their efforts. All
the people along the proposed line
are interested in the establishment of
telephone communication between
Jordan Valley and Caldwell. The In
dependent Telephone Company have
a line to Homedale. They propose ex-
tending that line along Sucker creek
and on to Jordan Valley.
The people along the line are TAX
ing stock in a company that is being
organized. The contract allows pat
rons at any point along the line to
talk to Caldwell for 25c. Those who
are interested in the new company
aside from the Independent stock
holders and the business men of Cald-
well are: Sid Knight, Finley Nc

STATE MAKES BIG

Two hundred and seventy-one
thousand acres of land in Fremont
county, known as the Dubois PROPOSE
ton, has been filed on and is matter
of record in the office of the Land
Register of the United States Land
Office at Blackfoot.
The segregation has been made by
the state under the Carey act and is
to be promoted and financed by the
White-Kuna company of New York,
who have handled a number of SINH
lar propositions, being interested in
the Twin Falls project.
The land in question ID among the
very best in the state and consists of
a vast sagebrush plain, the soil being
fertile and when brought under water
will be equal to any in the state.
The segregation begins at a point
six miles west of Market Lake and
extends west thirty miles and north
to Dubois.-Idaho Falls Register.

GOOD
FRUIT CROP

L. M. Lyon, of the firm of Lyon &
Lyon of Payette, and Charles Boul-
ton of Willow creek are in the city on
business pertaining to an irrigation
project. Mr.. Boulton is of the firm of
Van Sicklin & Boulton, while Mr..
Lyon is an attorney recently estab-
lished in Payette.
In speaking of the section along
Willow creek, Mr.. Boulton reports
the hay and grain crops in a splendid
condition. The fruit crop was some
what damaged by the late frosts last
spring, although a fair crop of hay
is expected. Their second crop of hay
is up while in this section the ranch
ers are just cutting their crop. From
the fact that nearly all of the people
along Willow creek feed their own hay
Mr.. Lyon reports that it is the Gus
tom to make their cutting earlier and
thus furnishing finer quality of feed
than to harvest big crop by letting
the grass grow. The development of
this section has been gradual, along
the lines of better stock, improved
farms and more up-to-date residences.
INTEREST ON STATE FUNDS
The interest earned by the public
funds of the state for the month of
July amounts to $3369O4, making a
total in interest earned for the first
seven months of the present year of
20,330.18. State Treasurer Hast
ings predicts that under his term of
office covering four years, the public
funds will earn 100000, all-told, in
interest. The interest account shows
a total of $7,O27.O3 earned during the
first quarter of the present year and
of $9934.11 during the second quarter.
L. N. Seawell of Payette, was in
Caldwell few days this week looking
after property interests.

LAND LEASED
FOR STATION

Regent o. E. McCutcheon of the
State University was in Caldwell a
couple of days this week, meeting with
the Commercial club experiment sta
ton committee and arranging for the
leasing of the 800 acres of land re-
quired for the experiment station.
The necessary papers were procured
and Mr.. McCutcheon is company with
number of the Caldwell business
men went to Boise and secured the
necessary lease. The board of re-
gents will now be in a position to make
contemplated improvements at the
station. There is about $4,000 of
available funds for the use of the
station, nearly all of which will be
used in constructing buildings. So
far as equipment is concerned, there
will be no expenditure. The matter
Of securing this land has been delay
ing improvements for two years, but
now that it is settled to the satisfac-
ton of the board we will look for
more and better results from the ex-
perimental station.
McMcCutcheon went to Boise Tues
day and by accident found a quorum
of the board and the action was
taken enabling the regents to go
ahead with the experiments at the
station. Caldwell is under great OBJ
legations to Mr.. McCutcheon for the
interest he has taken in this matter.
He has been loyal to Caldwell all
through. At the meeting of the board
of regents at Boise Mr., M. F. Lewis of
the board also gave great assistance.
He pointed out the ideal conditions
here for an experiment station and
did much good in getting the board to
act. Both these gentlemen are broad
minded, energetic and far seeing.

UNITED STATES
GIVES UP PROJECT

The government has definitely de-
cided to withdraw from all that por-
ton of the tract covered by the Boise
Owyhee project excepting the territory
embraced within the Malheur project,
and it may later withdraw from that
Such is the news conveyed in a tele-
gram to c. B. HURT from James E.
Clinton, Jr., in Portland, where Mr..
Clinton has been in consultation with
Secretary of the Interior Ballenger and
officials of the reclamation service.
The decision of the government to
make this withdrawal leaves the Boise
Owyhee project undisputed authority
to proceed with the reclamation of all
the land embraced within the scope of
it's plains excepting 10000 acres OF the
original Malheur project, which, it is
said, can be handled as part of the
private undertaking and which the
government may later turn over to
the Boise-Owyhee people.
The withdrawal authorized by the
government takes in everything south
of the Malheur river excepting about
5000 acres covered by the Nevada
ditch. There is 10000 acres in the
tract, 10000 of which is in Owyhee
county, Ida, and the balance in NAL
heur county, Ore, and not embraced
within what is known as the Malheur
project
'The withdrawal will enable us to
go ahead with our plans" said Mr..
HURT to a representative of The
Statesman. cit assures immediate
operations on the Boise-Owyhee pro-
ject. We hope eventually to also take
over the Malheur project, which we
can handle easily in connection with
the reclamation of the greater tract"

Will HAVE TO
CHANGE CURBS

Because the last council let some
very narrow streets slip through in
the new additions to the city, the
council will be forced to provide new
curb and park lines. The land BOOM
ers in the Cupp addition, Lakeview
addition and other additions in the
south part of the city made larger
lots and to do so cut from the city
streets, making them fifty and sixty
feet wide. AS the park lines are es-
tablished at present they are 20 feet
on each side of the street, and to fol-
low the provisions of the ordinance
would give but ten feet for wagon
way or fifty foot streets.
If the city continues the fifty foot
street they will be forced to make the
curb line ten or twelve feet from the
block line and on sixty foot streets
fifteen feet from the block line. On
the very narrow streets, the sidewalks
could be cut to four feet in width.
Several parties in the additions are
anxious to improve their street 'front.'
age and the council proposes that no
blame will attach to it for failure
in this regard. 1t will pass an
ordinance at the next meeting regu-
lating the matter.

THAT RECORD KICK.

Last week the Nampa Record pro-
ceeded to take a fall out of Uncle
Sam because, since the establishment
of free delivery at that place, he
charges one cent extra for the circu-
lation of papers in that city We
mildly chided our esteemed contem-
porary for its gently damning the gov
eminent and suggested that it scrape
the moss off and establish a delivery
on its own accord. To our sugges-
ton the Record makes a fearful, do
lorous reply, and claims that The
Tribune accuses it of lack of enter
prise. Such, however, is not the case
The Record is entitled to great
praise and consideration for it's mag
nificent and masterful enterprise
since the late fire in that city which
destroyed everything it had. For,
like a phoenix it rises from its ashes
with more vigor and sprightliness than
ever, and at the present time issues a
paper second to none in the state.
We consider that an evidence of pluck
and energy of very high order and
feel to congratulate it. We are more
than glad it possesses such vitality.
We feel that that paper has to stand an
enormous strain and our criticism
coming at the time it did naturally
grated harshly and was considered as
a reflection on its enterprise. We do
do not wish to be so esteemed. Never
having suffered as our contemporary
has, we cannot begin to feel the
1.-THE of what it has passed through,
but we know that the labor and the
difficulties must have been stipend
Gus, and with those of less stern fibre
and less consummate ability the re-
suits would have been fatal.

MUST EXTEND
WATER WORKS

Before the system of sewerage in
the south side of town will be COM
plete the city will be forced to extend
its water mains. In order to do this
1t will be necessary to erect a stand
pipe some where on Washington
Heights, and to put in an entire sys-
tenn in that part of the city. At the
present time the water pressure at
the Heights is unsatisfactory as the
water must go through a considerable
extent of mains and as a result much
power is lost through friction, and
further, because Washington Heights
is considerably higher than the rest
of the city. 1t is thought that the
cost of the new system will not ex-
coed $4,000, as the present plant can
be used by the addition of extra
wells.
The improvement is necessary as
considerable portion of the Heights
now has no water for fire purposes
and there is no water at the new
college grounds.
The city engineer in conjunction
with the water works committee are
gathering data preparatory to the
providing of plans and specifications,
and expect to have everything in
shape to submit to the people in a
very few months.

BIG STORAGE RESERVOIR

Now that the Short Line has an
nounced it's intention of building an
extension of the Twin Falls branch
west from Bull to Nyssa through the
Bruneau and Owyhee country, active
steps will shortly be taken by the
Kuhn-Buhl interests toward the con-
struction of the largest storage reser-
voir in America to conserve water for
the irrigation of approximately 60O,-
900 acres of land lying in Twin Falls,
Owyhee and Canyon counties. An
immense dam will be built across the
Snake river a short distance above
American Falls, and water will be
backed up in the main stream as far
as Blaclfoot. The immense artificial
lake will extend east as far as a
point about three miles from Poca-
tello, and it will be possible to go by
boat from the Gem City to Blackfoot.

SPLENDID TRIBUTE To
IDAHO'S FIRST GOVERNOR

Ex-Governor Morrison was in the
city on Saturday of last week, attend
ing to private business and shaking
hands with his old-time friends. In
speaking of the splendid growth of the
state in general and Caldwell in par
ticular, he remarked the passing of
the pioneer and the days when 1--WE
knew everybody in the country" and
at was an hours ride to your next
door neighbor" "The historians
should be busy" he said, Gin gather
ing and recording the data from the
pioneer trails, the real place to find
the roots of empire-building, before
the travellers cover the smouldering
embers of their last camp fires and
pass over the Great Divide"
He spoke of the lives of the splend-
i'd men and women who, as pioneers
of our state, had made the present de-
velopments possible, among them the
late beloved Senator Shoup, whose
statue has recently reached the cauitol
at Washington from Rome.

The work of securing the statue has
been accomplished under the direction
of state commission provided for by
the law of 1907. This commission
consists of the Hon. Frank R. Good
ing, ex-governor of the state, Senators
Hepburn and Borah, eX-Congressman
the senator's warmest and most init
mate political friends, and Addison T.
Smith, who was for many years Sen
ator Shoup's secretary. The statue
was made from fine Carrara marble,
and together with the statues of Gen
erals Washington and Robert e. L.
which have been presented by the state
of Virginia, will be unveiled with ap-
propriate ceremonies during the next
session of congress.
Over a half century ago, congress
granted to the states of the Union, the
privilege of placing two statues OF
their distinguished citizens in Statu-
sry Hall. Not many of ao tate have
yet availed themselves q heir full
privilege under this grant, and of
those west of the Mississippi but three
have done so, viz; Kansas, Missouri
and Texas.
The statue of Senator Shoup was
chisled by Professor Triebel, who is a
native of the state of Illinois, and now
lives in New York City. Prof. Triebel
enter the Royal Academy of Fine Arts
at Rome when Is years of age, and
graduated with honors in his class in
1888, having been awarded the highest
medal for each years study. He was
chief of the art department at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago. In 1898 he
was elected to a professorship in the
class of sculptors in the Royal Aca-
denny at San Luca, the oldest and most
renowned academy of Fine Arts in
the world. Among some of the statues
he has created are those of General
John A. Logan, Robert G. Ingersoll,
General T. T. Eckert, late president
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, besides numerous portrait
busts

The Caldwell Milling & Elevator
Co. have a force often men at work
at Meridian erecting new ware houses
and elevators at that point. The men
are under X. Navesetter. The ware
house will be 47x60 and have a capa-
city of $4,000 bushels. In speaking of
the Caldwell concern the Meridian
correspondent of the Capital News
says: This company is one of the
strongest corporations in Idaho and
its financial rating passes the million
mark. The same company owns the
fine new flour mill recently erected at
Caldwell and one of the uses to which
they will put the new warehouse is for
the storage of flour for the local
trade. They are now turning out 200
barrels daily which is said to be the
finest of the unexcelled Idaho product.
The Vickers-Sims Company will act as
their local agents and they will be on
the market for the purchase of grain
this season.
