l IeTndpS III was MS OWN youth tIldt
led Munsey to decide on a boys week
ly as his first venture. He rented an
| office in an obscure section of the city
and there the Golden Argosy'' was
,, born. The accouchment was a painful
of labor that would have discouraged
a majority of men. In the little clos
ct where he held forth. Munsey was
all things to all men. He was not only
editor and published. but also adj
vertising manager, circulation boomer
and office boy. After days of bitter
toll, he spent the nights in writing the
stories which ne was unable to buy
Fighting against thousand discour-
agements, which only gave way to
others. the Golden Argosy" at last
achieved temporary success. 1t was
won at a greater cost than any other
man, perhaps, would have been will
ing or able to pay. and even then the
seeming success soon turned again into
failure
At last Mr. Munsey decided that the
Juvenile weekly could not be rendered
permanently profitable and turned his
attention to literature for adults Mum
sey's Weekly was the result, but it
was not received with any enthusiasm
by the reading public.
Then Mr.. Munsey determined 70
make last stand with a scheme that
the whole publishing world laughed at
and ridiculed-a monthly magazine,
similar in style and contents to the
high-priced magazines of the day, bur
to be sold at ten cents a copy De-
spite the scorn of the prophets, Nun
sey's Magazine caught on and with
in a few years it returned to the pock-
cts of it's promoter a flood of COLA
Many other ten cent magazines have
been established by Mr. Munsey. some
of which have failed to be permanent
but practically all of which have made
big money
With an income beyond what may
be originally called 1.-THE widest

and finally gave up the venture In !
other cities he was more successful
and he now owns f1ourishing evening
papers in Washington. Baltimore, Phil |
adelphia and Boston. He has the dis !
tincton of being the only publisher Of
papers with Sunday af-
ternOon editions. This innovation was
seriously criticised by cIergymen ard
others. but it has apparently become
permanent
Mr.. Munsey's day is divided into
two parts. At $3.50 or 6 o'clock every
he takes off his Clothes,
don his nightrobe and HES himself
to the land of nod for an hour or two.
Then he gets up. dons evening clothes
and resumes the serial story of his
day at the point where it was left off
in the preceding chapter. No business
or social engagement is permitted to

settlers under this district on Satur-
day, August Z. This meeting is of
great Importance from the fact that
the decisions reached at this meeting
will determine the plan of irrigation.
In this work c. s. Faurot has been
very active and will have at the meet
ing August Z three plans of irrigation
from which the people are to make
their choice. One plan to be consid-
cred is the one known as the original
plan. This proposition considers the
building of dam in Snake river and
installing a pumping plant. The
power for this plant would be electri-
cal and generated at the dam near
where the plant will be installed This
plan, If feasible, will afford several
horse power for commercial purposes
In addition to that needed for pumping
water for the irrigation of the land.
Another plan Of irrigation to be pre-
sented involves the electrical plant at
the Thousand Springs on Snake river
several miles above the Gem Irrigation
district, the electricity to be trans
mitted to the head of the district
where the pumping plant is installed.
This plan will eliminate the building
of the dam across the river.
The third plan Is a gravity system.
This is known as the Trowbridge &
Niver proposition which takes water
from the Owyhee river.
Engineers representing each of the
three propositions will be present and
it is urged that the settlers attend this
meeting and have a thorough under
standing of the merits Of each, as the
decision arrived at will be final and
become the basis of future work.
This will mean great things for
Caldwell and has the encouragement
and support of our citizens.

GOOD FINANCES.

W. B. Jones turned over to the city
clerk Wednesday a check for $4,000.
Sometime ago the city had a windmill
and pump and gasoline engine put
in at the cemetery. Later it was
proved that these were inadequate,
and Mr.. Jones as chairman Of the
cemetery committee sold the windmill
at good figure, and rented the gaso-
Line engine to the U. s. reclamation
service. The engine cost the city
$4,000 and the reclamation service
paid the city $4,000 for it in rentals.
The money will be put to the credit
of the cemetery fund. The city still
has the gasoline engine and is SEEM
ingly just as good as new. That is
good finances.

BALLINGER WAS HERE
Listened to Our Grievances Had Very
Little to Say.

Mr.. R. A. Ballenger, secretary Of the
Interior, accompanied by A. P. Davis,
chief engineer Of the reclamation SER
vice, John M. Carr, private secretary,
e. M. Kirby, stenographer and e. M.
Keys, inspector of the reclamation de-
partment, visited Caldwell Saturday.
The distinguished visitors were met
at the train by Mayor Gowen, V. D.
Hannah, E. A. Clark and F. ]. Bur-
roughs and escorted to the Saratoga
hotel where lunch was served, and
later visited the Commercial club.
Here they were met by the farmers
and homesteaders, and prominent
citizens of this place.
Mr.. Ballenger came to Caldwell at
the urgent solicitation Of a delegation
of the homesteaders and the members
of the Caldwell Commercial club.
Walter Griffiths, president of the
Commercial club, introduced Mr..
Ballenger who responded in a few
well chosen words in which he stated
that he wanted to be told of the
troubles and difficulties and perplex-
tiles Of the homesteaders, and invited
any criticism or suggestions they had
to offer. His remarks made a very
favorable impression. Mr.. Burroughs
was then called upon and gave in a
few words the report of the club as
to the chief worries and perplexities
under which the people labored. They
are here given as follows:
We, the undersigned committee rep
resenting the Caldwell Commercial

for each project a board of local ad-
justers, who may determine the lines
of each farm unit.
Under present rulings, a settler can
not sell a part of his holding after
making five-year residence proof until
his water right is all paid. We believe
he should be able to sell a part to en-
able him to cultivate the balance, leav-
ing unpaid water installments a first
lien upon the part sold.
We ask you to consider this. Under
proper safeguards, to kill off specula-
ton, we believe the modification of
recent ruling would inhere to the
benefit of the homesteader.
We respectfully call your attention
to what is locally known as the north
side project, or Section "A" of the p.
B. project. The homesteaders on this
land have been patiently waiting your
decision. They desire government SER
vice, but want water. They can get
private enterprise to cover the tract,
and in case the government cannot
take it up, will do so. We urgently re-
quest that you give an early decision
on this matter which means so much
to our people.
We present you with copy of this
memorial, asking that it shall receive
uorr aorDaCt oonSjdaro4ioD oitbor u0uy

Referring to the first objection, the
SECRETARY replied that the law govern
ed that matter. AS to lengthening the
time limit for payments he thought
that we were treading on dangerous
grounds as the enemies of the service
would grasp at any attempt to change
the law as an excuse for abrogating
it. This matter together with the mat
ter of defining the farm unit was dis
cussed to a considerable length.
Messrs. Griffiths, Lowell and others
made short speeches. Mr.. Ballenger
said that he had the northside pro-
ject under consideration.

IdagOn Irrigation District

L. C. Woodford and H. D. Page,
representatives of the Idagon Irriga-
ton Co.,-the Schenck project in Owy-
hee county-were in the city Wednes-
day. The purpose of the company Is
to irrigate by means Of several res
ervoirs on Jump, Cow, Succor and
Jordan creeks a large tract of magni-
ficent agricultural land, embracing
about 10000 acres and located about
20 miles south of this place. In the
spring these creeks carry good bodies
Of water and the object of the COM
pany is to conserve the same. The
work will be done under the Carey
act and has the approval and recon-
mendation of State Engineer Steph-
enson. The project has been financed
and wor kon the reservoirs will begin
at once. The land lies near the Col
den Gate" route which the o. s. L.
railway Co., are now pushing to COM
pletion. Some of the land has been
under cultivation for years.

WILL BUILD TO SHEAVILLE
Oregon Short Line Construction Crew to
Begin Work Monday

The most interesting news that the
people of Caldwell have heard for
long time is that the Homedale road
will be constructed at once. Work
was begun Thursday by the railroad
surveyors and this morning a track
laying crew under the capable super
vision of Pat O'Connor will begin the
placing of the ties and the laying of
rails. The work is being done under
the Oregon Short Line. J. P. Cong
don, superintendent of construction,
has been in the city the past few days
looking up the maps and plans of the
proposed route in Engineer Richard

May Be Nimpkins.

A little stir was created at this place
when 1t was reported that Jack Simp-
kins, an accomplice Of Harry Orchard
In the murder Of Ex-Governor steun-
enberg at this place, had been cap
tured at The Dalles, Ore. When he
received word of the arrest Sheriff
Breshears Immediately sent photo
graphs of Simpkins to the Oregon Of
ficers. But 1t seems from reports from
there that the photograph of simp-
Rins and the man captured at The
Dalles do not tally in every respect.
The lower part of the faces of both
are identical, but the photograph
shows a broader forehead than that Of
the prisoner captured. It may be
Simpkins, and it is hoped by many
that it is that justice may be eventually
melted out to Governor Steunenberg's
murderers.

and who did not know of their un-
Improbable character, might, with
justice, doubt as to the truth of their
statement that they had been attend
ing a temperance meeting.
The Caldwell Steam Laundry is
just assuming shape and proportions.
1t will, without doubt, be the finest
institution of its kind in the state.
The building will be of brick and
has a floor space of something like
50x12O feet. G. H. VanWyngarden
has the contract. Messrs. E. A.
Wheeler ard Ed. Murray are to be
congratulated upon their business
push and enterprise. The new laun-
dry will be equipped throughout with
new and up-to-date machinery, with
all the latest and improved wrinkles
for cleaning clothes.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the M.
e. church was held at the lovely home
of Mrs. A. Horner In the south part Of
town. A hay rack load of ladies drove
out from town besides others in bug
giles. Quite a little business was done
and social time was spent and berries
and Ice crea mand cake were served
by the hostess and Mrs. w. A. Doug
las. A very pleasant time was spent.

An Important Arrast

What seems to be an important ar
rest was made at this place. Wednes-
day of this week when Sheriff Bre-
shears took into custody man wanted
in San Francisco for embezzlement.
The prisoners name is Victor Kline
and he has been stopping at the Paci-
fic Hotel here since May. He seems
to tally with the description OF the
California offender to a T. He claims
that he is not the man wanted. The
California officers are expected in a
few days.

CALDWELL'S FLOUR MILL
When Completed Will Be the Largest in
the West.

Caldwell will soon be the central
grain, hay and farm produce market
for a large scope of rich southern
Idaho agricultural land by reason Of
the immense new -four mill and eleva-
tor now nearing completion here.
"This plant is 10Ox14O feet. The
elevator is 80 feet high and has a
storage capacity for 100000 bushels
Of grain. The elevator will be COM
pleted in ample time for handling this
seasons grain crop. The elevator ma
chinery is now being installed.
The mill proper is four stories high
and will have a capacity of 200 bar
rels of -four per day. The mill ma
chinery is now on the road and will
be ready for -four making within two
or three months. The mill will also
be equipped with a steam barley roll,
feed grinders, etc. The -four mill will
be in a position to put out as good
quality of -four as any -four mill in
the west, because the machinery that
has been bought and soon to be in
stalled is the very latest and best i'm
proved flour machinery made.
This plant is also equipped with an
immense basement, part of which
will be used for storing potatoes, the
storage capacity for potatoes being
forty cars.
Besides handling grain and pota-
toes, this plant will also handle seed,
hay and all kinds of farm produce
except fruit. 1t is thus quickly ap-
parent that the ranchers in this sec.
toin of Idaho from now on will have
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-07-31

an ever ready and permanent market
for everything produced by them ex.
cept fruit.
The name of this plant is Caldwell
Milling & Elevator Company. Its
cost is about 100000. 1t is owned
by J. K. Mullin of Denver, who owns
string Of mills and elevators in
Idaho, Colorado and Kansas. Mr..
Mullin states the Caldwell mill is the
largest in Idaho and is the best plan
ned and constructed mill and eleva-
tor between Denver and the state OF
Washington.
"B. M. Holt Of Caldwell, ID the
general manager Of the Caldwell Mill
ing & Elevator company. Mr.. Holt
has had large experience in this
line Of business and is one Of the most
capable men in the west for this po-
sition.
Warehouses in connection with
this mill are under course Of construc-
ton at Meridian and Cambridge.
Other warehouses in other grain CEN
ters in this vicinity may be built
later.
"This mill will be also equipped
with a gas producer plant, a new de-
vice whereby practically all of the gas
in coal is consumed instead of going
to waste as at present in the form Of
heat and ashes.
"The location Of this mill here
makes Caldwell the leading grain
market of Idaho and will be an i'm
portant factor for Caldwell's CONNER
cial interests"

so men will begin laying track. The
grade is already completed to Home
dale and the track will be completed
to that place In a few weeks. From
there we are assured the road will be
built to Sheaville to tap that section
Of country, big in possibilities. In
case the Malheur project goes and
there seems at this time no doubt Of
1t, the road being built from this place
will tap the great central Oregon
country and will eventually be built
