net use them. The trouble was moi
with the clerk, had the auditing COM
mittee been posted on Mr.. Shorb's sys-
tenn, there would have been no difficult
ty in understanding just what the true
financial condition of the city is.
However, the auditing committee and
Mr. Shorb will have a joint session
and it is predicted that a report will
be forthcoming by Monday night.
The deputy city surveyor made a
report which was a paralyzer. 1t is
found that there is no two corners
where the sidewalks join that are on
the same grade. There are places on
the Boulevard where the grade on one
side of the street varies nearly two
feet from that of the opposite. In fact
the grades Of the various lots and
blocks on the west side of the city diff
fer as much as the colors in a crazy
quilt pattern. Hundreds of dollars

great deal of the work is botch.
The mayor recommended that an
automobile ordinance be drawn. The
attorney was so instructed. The city
contracts for printing have caused
the council more trouble than it does
to get drink in a dry town in Kan
sas. Three bids for the printing were
submitted as follows: Tribune, Caxton
Printers, and News. Neither of the
bidders received a majority of the
votes. The bids were all very close,
but no decision was reached and the
matter will appear again at the next
meeting.
Mayor Gowen announced that he
would be in his Office at the city hall
from 8 a. m. until IL m. each We'd
nesday. The door will be unlocked
and no admission charged. If you
have troubles, tell them to the mayor.
1t was decided to have the city cleo
trio fixtures installed for the purpose
of illuminating the streets during the
Sunday school convention. Council
adjourned to Monday night.

.HAzELWOOD PEOPLE START
Caldwell CREAMERY

The Hazelwood Creamery, located
in this city churned the first batch
of butter Tuesday, thus adding an
other industry to Caldwell. "Hazel-
wood" has become a household word
in Northern Idaho and Southern
Washington, so much so that consum-
ers only require to see the name on
the wrapper to know that the arti-
Gle is pure and sweet. The company
are also extensive manufacturers of
of ice cream. The machinery for
that branch of the business at this
place has not yet all arrived, but is
expected at any time. The Hazel
wood people sent Representatives here
largely through the representations
of DR.. Dutton, and found conditions
to be so favorable that they decided
to put in a branch at this point.
They perfected their arrangements
without any of the usual "fuss and
feathers" which generally accompany
an enterprise of this kind. The citi-
zens were not called upon for stock
subscriptions or for the donatin of a
site. The firm sent their manager
here who superintendent the erection
of the necessary building, which in

Some of the ardent admirersof the
new council are fearful that they may
have a relapse by reason of overwork.
Last week they held three sessions
and this week two. But as long as
they enjoy setting up until eleven
o'clock without extra charge, there
should be no kick from their con-
stituents. An adjourned meeting
was held Monday night with a full
council present. Sidewalks was the
principal theme of the evening ses-
sion. The Tribune desires to an
nounce for the benefit of those who
stated during the city campaign, that
if Bob Farrar was elected on the
council, that he would favor any inn
provement the railroads might want
and oppose any they did not want.
At Monday nights session it was
road from Kimball to 14th street
the railroad man from thhe first ward
who introduced the blanket resolu-
ton praying that an ordinance be
passed compelling sidewalks to be
laid on the streets east of the rail
road from Kimball to Fourteenth.
This ordinance, if passed, will COM
pei the opening Of two more streets
across the Short Line tracks and the
laying of cement walks over the
same. Now will you take it back?
Owing to meeting of the CONNER
cial club the council adjourned much
earlier than usual to meet Thursday
night.

He Resigned.

J. b. Gowen, who has been secre-
tary of the Caldwell Commercial club
for two or three years, resigned the
Office Tuesday night and George H.
Handy was elected in his stead, Mr..
Handy being vice-president, resigned
that office and Gowen was elected in
his stead. Mr.. Gowen gave as his
reason for resigning that the honors,
emoluments and other paraphernalia
of the mayors Office required so much
of his time that he could not give the
secretary's Office the time it demand

He Brought Him Back,

Sheriff Breshears left on Monday
for Baker City to arrest a man by the
name of Jack Smith, who was charg-
ed with the crime of horse stealing.
Judge Bryan sentenced his partner,
o, B. Cooley to the pen" for IA
years just about a year ago, but
Smith evaded the officers until now.
The chances are pretty good that he
will join his partner during the next
month or as soon as court meets.

Anniversary OF the Magic Theater.

On Wednesday, May 18th, the man
ayers of the Magic theater will cele-
brate the first anniversary of the
opening of their popular moving pic
ture show. During the entire time
the management has extended every
effort to obtain for its patrons the I'm
est pictures and music obtainable in
this part of the country, and the show
has a clear record of running con-
ttnuously under the same manage
ment with no shut downs except
through accidents to the electric light
plant.
Messrs. Alexander and Tschumy
have planned many important i'm
provements during the coming year
and everything possible will be done
to add to the entertainment and COM
fort of their patrons.
The managers take this occasion to
thank their friends for their continued
patronage during the past year and
to invite any who delight in a good
clean cheap entertainment to make
themselves at home any time at the
Magic. AS BETTING their anniversary
an exceptionally fine program of mo-
ton pictures and musical features has
been arranged for the evening of May
18th and the public may be assured
of seeing a show of more than ordi-
nary worth.

this case was built as an addition to
the Caldwell Cold Storage Co. plant.
The present capacity of the plant
is three tons of butter per day. The
machinery is all of the latest pattern.
The churn is of the Simplex make. 1t
has not yet been decided just what
make of ripener will be installed.
The churn being used for that pur-
posepose for the present. The pastur-
izer and cooler is the machine which
cools the cream to the desired point,
A Danish Cream separator has
been installed and is one of the
the best machines that money can
buy. In fact, everything from the
boiler which furnishes the hot water
and the steam for cleansing the ma
chinery and tools to the tiny set of
scales that determine the amount of
butter fat contained in each lot of
cream received, is all up-to-date.
L. R. Clough, the superintend-
ent of the plant, is a pleasant, affable
gentleman and he assured the Trib-
une that visitors would receive a
cordial welcome at any time. Doan
& Hay purchased the first box of but
ter and Ballantyne Bros. the second.

The Caldwell Commercial Club held
a meeting Monday night for the pur-
pose of receiving the report of the
Soliciting Committee who had been
selected to secure subscriptions to a
fund, to be known as the Advertising
Fund. It was estimated at the time
the committee was appointed that
they should get at least 100000
which was to be paid in twelve annual
payments by the subscribers. The
club builded better than they expect
ed, for the committee secured con-
tracts for $3.50.

COMMISSIONERS
and ASSESSORS

The county commissioners met in
special session Monday. The first
matter that came before them was
regarding the road connecting with
the Middleton bridge on the south side
OF the Boise river. This matter has
been hanging fire for some months
owing to the fact that the amount of
damages could not be agreed upon.
But this trouble was arranged and
John Thomas was given $4,000 and H.
M. Whitney $4,000. George Milliner
donated eight feet a half mile long,
and thus the matter is settled and
the bridge will now be open for the
public.
