Why We SUPPORT GOWAN

AS the day for the city election
draws near, the strife for the candi-
dates increases. Rumors are being
circulated on candidates by men who
would spurn to utter such falsehoods
under the ordinary everyday business
life. One of the reports which is be-
ing industriously circulated is that If
Mr.. GOwen is elected mayor he will
grant a SO year exclusive franchise to
the Caldwell Electric Light Co. This
statement is actually believed to be
true by many good citizens, without
taking the time or trouble to examine
the constitution Of the state, which
prohibits the granting of perpetual or
exclusive franchises for anything. On
the other hand 1t is reported that there
will be but one change made in pres
ent city appointees in case of Mr..
Smiths election and that is to be in
the chief of police; that Jasper Mich
OILS is to succeed Mr.. Hodson. Those
interested in circulating this report
point to the fact that Mr.. Nichols is
one of the most Industrious workers
of the Smith faction and further that
Mr.. Nichols had been an applicant for
the position at the time Of Chief Row
lands resignation. The Tribune does
not believe there is any truth in ell
Their report, for the reason that it Is
legal impossibility for the frs
statement to be true and in so far az
Mr.. Nichols is concerned, he has in
formed the Tribune that he would no
accept the position If offered to him
The Tribune does not believe it nee
essary in order to elect a mayor anC
council, that false reports be circulat
ed derogatory to the character ant
reputation of either candidate. TIT
Tribune stands by all former state
ments regarding Messrs. Gowen ant
Smith. They are both morally eleaI
men, both men of their word and bot
men of business acumen. The onl,
perceptible difference in their menta
makeup is that one is always read,

mans life, procured for him seat on
a throne, which has ever since been
somewhat of thorn in the eyes of
other countries. This Mr.. Mohammed
Ali invited all the Mameluke beys to
a grand banquet in the citadel, where
upon he had them all massacred, but
one escaped and even now they show
the high embankment he vaulted with
his horse and so made his escape for
good. Later on Mohammed built
one of the most magnificent mosques
or churches right in the heart Of the
citadel, and this church is one of the
pearls of the Orient. His body reposes
there and a beautiful sarcophagus
marks the place where rest all that is
mortal of that poor boy from Corvalla.
This mosque is entirely built inside
and out of alabaster, the workmanship
and finish equals many European
cathedral of repute. Here 1t is where
the Khedive and his family worship.
This is but short sketch Of that part
Of the city known as Cairo. New CAL
no is simply the new part, where the
hotels are located and along the Nile
where the grand private dwellings of
rich Egyptians and Europeans are sit
uated. One thinks himself in Paris,
when. fashionable Cairo is taking an
airing. Talk about your beautiful
horses, nothing but pure Arabians, In
fact, I have not seen a poor looking
horse since l landed. Even the COM
mon cab horses are splendid specimens
of fine horseflesh. Jim Ford would go
wild over them and would use yards
of silk wiping their beautiful glossy
coats. The rich Egyptian ladies have
splendid turnouts, those of rank have
outrunners, that is, two men before
the carriage to clear the way. It is
really pityful to see those beautiful Ia
dies without gentlemen escort, when
there are so many gentlemen willing
to escort them. Their dress is very
modern, partisan, but all have that
thin, gauzy, white veil from the tip
Of the nose down, that all one can see
is two large dark, dreamy eyes, and
how those eyes haunt you! That pa
thetic look seems to express their In
nermost thought, freedom" but who
may know, they may like their condi-
ton and if they wanted 1t changed. 1t
would be easy for them to start a
movement for liberty. That Is what
Mohammedian religion does. After all
it is no worse than for a Catholic
priest to renounce marriage for all
time, and all for Christ. Are these

county having subscribed. Fully 81
100000 pounds will come from that
county alone to Chicago, not a single
shareholder having yet been induced
to sell his clip. The growers in
Sweetwater county, Wyo., are nearly
all interested.
Competent men will be appointed in
each state to take charge of the ship
ping of the clips. A circular will be
issued to every shareholder within the
next two weeks, setting forth who
these men will be and other informa-
ton regarding the shipment of wool.
Five cents per pound may be drawn
by each grower against his bill of lad
ing as soon as the wool is loaded, and
wool in the rain as has been the prac-
tice heretofore, waiting for some
chance buyer to make an offer on the
clip. AS soon as the wool is received
in Chicago a further substantial ad-
vance will be made the grower. In
fact, the banks of Chicago stand ready,
as they have from the first, to advance
to the growers such percentage Of
the value of the clips as the western
directors may think it prudent to ask.
The Association of Commerce of Chi
cago, which is the strongest organi-
zation of it's kind in the world, has
pledged its support to this movement
The best business men of the country
men who know the laws governing
the marketing the great products, do
not question the success of the pro-
| ject. Already mills are being planned
in the vicinity Of Chicago, and their
erection and operation will mean a
saving in freight as most Of the wool
is now shipped to the Atlantic sea-
board and then nearly all the cloth
is shipped westward.
Through the establishment of CEN
trail wool market the western grower
will learn how to properly prepare his
wool for market, and his clip will be
sold on it's merits. Heretofore, some
of the less desirable and the heaviest
shrinkable woods have brought the
owners more money per fleece than
many of the more desirable clips.

On the City Pay RON

dicovered by the Chief Of Police, while
under the influence Of liquor, and were
conducted before Judge Shorb. After
the prisoners were searched and only
80 cents and few beer checks were
found, it was concluded that two dol
lars and costs would be about the pro-
per amount. The prisoners were turn
ed over to the police department.
Chief Hodson Immediately put them to
work on the streets and as It was not
safe to permit them to remain alone
for fear Of some team running over
them, he deputixed his son-in-law, w.

AS an example of the way the finances
of the city have been squandered, this

fines and costs amounted to $1,000

ATTENTION VOTERS.

1t has come to our notice that GER
tain reports have been circulated by
INSCRIPTIONS persons, one of them to
the effect that If the Taxpayers ticket
is elected that they are pledged to
deal out certain long time exclusive
franchises for city privileges, to the
injury of the interests of the citizens
of Caldwell.
In answer to this charge we beg to
state that we have investigated this
report with all parties who might be
interested in such deal, and wish to
brand every word in this charge an
absolute falsehood.
Another report has come to us that
statement is being circulated that
supporters of the Taxpayers ticket
are using threatening means against
the sympathizers of the College of Ida
no. That IL such persons do not sup
port the Taxpayers ticket they will
withdraw their support from the Col
lege of Idaho. This story bears the
same stamp of base falsehood as the
first above mentioned.
Now, voters, do not let falsehoods
induce you to vote against your best
interests, make note of what you hear
that does not sound reasonable or true
to you and bring all these reports tC
the central committee. We want you
to have the truth, we want you to hell
us expose those persons whose whole
beings are clothed IN falsehood.

Mere Trouble.

ON Saturday OF last week County
Attorney Van Duyn was called to Pay
ette for the purpose OF prosecuting
four men who were charged with as
sault ON the person OF Thomas c. Kerr
at the Payette road house. The priso-
nera answered to the names Of
Thomas. Tuft, and two Beers The
story told BY the prosecuting witness
was, that one of the four prisoners had
told him that he was wanted at the
road house. He remembered arriving
there but nothing more until four or
I'VE hours later. When he came to
himself, his face was bloody and was
in a dilapidated state generally. A
warrant was sworn out and served on
some suspects, who have been known
to be freQuenters of the house. They
were brought before Judge Driscoll

The next meeting will be held at Pay
cite. The newspaper men present
were: Messrs. Bates of Parma, Kirk
and Brown of Payette, Paynter of
Middleton, Jenness and Mason Of Nam
pa, GIBSON, Burroughs and Davis of
Caldwell, The meeting was held in
the elegant quarters of the CONNER
cial club. After the meeting the edi-
tors proceeded in the general direc-
ton of the sugar factory They were
met at the portals by Mr.. Lockman,
who conducted the party through the
institution, while Mr.. Jacob Lockman
watched the safe and Office building.
An excellent view of Nampa was had
from the roof of the building. We
did not learn the capacity of the
plant, but it is several hundred bar
rels day. The quality of the goods
is above reproach.

Last Friday night the negative team
met and overcame, in debate, the af-
firmative team of the Albion State
Normal school. This leaves the Col
lege of Idaho the undisputed champi-
ons of the state.
The debate was not called until af-
ter nine o'clock, the judges being alb
sent. But a little after nine 1t was
opened by song from the Girls Glee
club. which was enjoyed by all. Then
the battle was on Mr.. Mahoney, OF
Albion, opened the affirmative side OF
the question. He has a fine appear
ance and an excellent voice. Things
we're looking blue for Caldwell after
he had finished, but upon Mr. McCor-
mick taking the floor, we once more
gained confidence. We not only gave
his set speech in splendid form, but
also did we'll on rebuttal. The next
speaker was Mr.. Smith, of Albion, and
then Mr.. Hill of Caldwell. Both OF
these men excelled themselves, Mr.
Hill especially. on rebuttal. Then
came Mr.. Dotson, OF Albion, and Mr.
Davis, of Caldwell. Mr.. Dotson gave
the final speech for the affirmative.
Although our boys were debating
under difficulties, they won by a vote
of to 1. The judges who had beer
selected failed, at the last moment t.
appear. Then Prof. Gipson, Of Cald'
well, Prof. Kay, Of Albion, and Mr.
Hunter, of Albion. acted as judges
We received the votes Of Prof. Clip
son and Mr.. Hunter. Prof. Kay gave
his vote to Albion because he said W.
need history in our debate.
After the decision was announced

proved conclusively that Albion coul'
not be excelled in debate or football

II VIII Prove a Roorback.

1t is reported that the hackers of
the Citizens ticket will issue a pub
LEGATION on the eve of the city cleo
ton. If this report proves correct, 1t
will be done for the purpose of mis-
leading the voters by false statements
regarding the candidates on the oppo-
sition ticket. The Tribune has en-
deavored to be fair in all statements
regarding candidates, feeling satisfied
that the citizens of Caldwell are suf-
ficiently intelligent on all matters per-
tanning to the city government and
will rest contented to await the re-
suit, whether campaign sheet is is
sued before election or not.

and willing with his time and money
to assist in improving and assisting
in all enterprises which so to make
Caldwell the envy Of all other towns
on the Short Line. While the other
cares only for his own personal pros
perity. AS an example, the citizens
of Caldwell are proud of their band,
but it takes money. 1t has been the
custom for years for q committee to
solicit funds from the business men of
the city for band purposes. Last year
the subscription list shows that @. G.
Smith subscribed so cents per month
while ]. B. Gowen put down $1,000
per month. Then again, when the
committee appointed for the purpose
of raising $4,000 for the College of
Idaho called on our citizens, the name
of ]. B. Gowen was down for $500,
while that of C. G. Smith was not to
be found ON the list. Thus the list
might be continued indefinitely, but
the above is sufficient. 1t remains for
the people of Caldwell to decide which
of the two men they prefer to have
for the chief officer of the city.
There are some of our citizens who
predict wonderful boom for Caldwell
and that it is necessary that We have
man for mayor who will be in SYM
pathy and who will assist in booming
the town. The Tribune takes no stock
in such utterances, but is supporting
Mr.. Gowen for the reason that he is
willing to perform his part in aiding
any enterprise which may meet the
approval of the business interests of
his home town, whether it be band,
| college, fair, baseball, or a manufac-
turing enterprise. Mr.. Gowen is al
ways ready and willing to put up his
money and donate his time and that
is why this paper is giving him its
support.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM EGYPT BY SCHNAVEL

The many friends of Mr.. Louis
Schnabel will be pleased to read the
following letter, dated at Cairo, Egypt.
Mr.. Schnabel Is a close observer and
an interesting writer.
One is kept so awfully busy that let
terwriting is put off till some quiet
day when there is no sightseeing to
be done. This Sunday is the first
of such days, since landing in Egypt.
AS we will start on March Z on our
trip up the Nile, must before leav-
ing, write this letter to you. Our Nile
trip will take about fourteen days, and
it is possible that the mail facilities
are rather imperfect, but will endeavor
to send you postals from the different
places and whenever an opportunity
offers itself. l am looking forward
with great impotence towards the
gem of my trip. up the Nile to the
first cataract" This is one of the
great treats of life. All the people l
meet who have made it, speak with
enthusiasm of the beauties Of the Nile,
the interesting monuments of the past
and the wonderful development Of the
country about there through modern
agencies, of which irrigation and the
great Assuan dam are no small fac
tors. However, more of this later and
in due time and when l know more
of it.
The city of Cairo is so intensely in
teresting that with real regret one
leaves it. In the first place, it is q
very large city, about six hundred
thousand, and consists of three dis
tinct parts, namely, Old Cairo, Cairo
and New Cairo. Old Cairo is the ole
original city (now almost in complet'
abandonment except for the poor), the
one the Greeks and later the Romans
conquered. What is known as Cairo
is that part known as the presen
Arab quarters and the citadelle, tn
Tombs of the Caliphs and the Tomb
of the Mamedukes. Around these his
toric centers clusters an air of re
nance not to be found elsewhere o
earth. Here it was where the grea

Yesterday as a lady was passing
along 7th street, she accidentally
dropped her pocketbook, which in
falling, bounded from the pavement
into one of the numerous mud holes
which are to be seen along the
streets. Two hobos and a number of
citizens endeavored to find it, but up
to the time the reporter left, the
property had not been recovered. The
street department have not yet de-
cided whether a diver will be employ
ed or a government dredge secured to
recover the lost purse.

ESTABLISHMENT Of WOOL
WAREHOUSE MEANS MUCH

]. e. Cosgrif, president of the First
National bank Of Caldwell; also presi-
dent Of the National Wool Warehouse
and Storage company, has written an
article on the establishment Of the
wool market in Chicago. The article
first appeared in the Sale Lake Her
aid, which makes the following state
ment:
u. q. Cosgriff, president of the Ma
tional Wool Warehouse & Storage
company, who will have the general
supervision of its affairs, has at the
request of the Herald, furnished the
accompanying article regarding the
establishment of the wool market in
Chicago. He will leave for Chicago
in the early part Of May to assume the
direction of the company's affairs dur
ing the period the woods are arriving
and until the company is thoroughly
organized and In active operation"
The mammoth five-story building Of
the National Wool Warehouse & Stor-
age company in Chicago is being
rushed to completion. The first two
stories OF the building will be ready
for wool on April 15, and the entire
building is to be completed by May 10.
Three hundred workmen are employed
night and day.
The general public understands but
little regarding this new enterprise,
which will mark new era in the wool
growing industry and will make the
Illinois metropolis the great central
wool market Of the United States.
Heretofore many OF the articles ap-
pearing in the press have been written
by men who have been working direct
ly or indirectly in the interests of the
eastern dealers, or by individuals
whose personal feelings led them to
desire the failure of the plan.
1t is not the intention or purpose Of
those interested to effect a combina-
ton for the control Of prices, but tc
ultimately establish an open market
for wool, where the grower may Obtain
the true value ofzhis product TIT
present antiQuated commission system
had become so obnoxious to the WOO
growers throughout the intermountaiI
states that they were ready to wei
come a new method. The new move
ment, built on sound business princi
pies, has been most heartily endorsed
and at the present time is steadil!
growing in favor.
The authorized capital of the new
corporation is 100000, $26O.OOO o
which is allotted to the wool grower
of the west in the proportion Of l cen
