Caldwell GETS
GOOD CITIZEN

Miles Cannon of North Yakima,
Wash, arrived in Caldwell Saturday
and will make his home here. Mr..
Cannon has lived in the metropolis of
Washington's famous irrigated dis
trict for the last IA years. He served
nearly nine years as receiver of the
United States land Office at that place;
was manager of the st. Paul & Taco
ma Lumber company's string of lum-
Der yards in eastern Washington dur
ing the last seven years of that time
and for two years thereafter, has been
engaged in the banking and mercantile
business. He established the Yakima
Valley bank and remained with it I'M
til its deposits reached 100000. He
afterwards organized the Emporium
department store, the largest institu-
ton of its kind in central Washington.
He disposed of this last month, after
having made several visits to this
state and decided to go into the stock
business mere. MI. CduhoA mas AoA
dozen years been leading Republic
can of his state and is considered one
of it's best political speakers. North
Yakima newspapers express regret
over his departure from that town
and say that Caldwell has acquired
one of It's most energetic and useful
citizens.

CORONER EXHUMES BODY
OF Two MONTHS old BABE

and that about IL o'clock she woke
and gave the baby its bottle and then
turned on her side and the next thing
she remembered was when she woke
about four o'clock and found the child
dead-she having laid on it and
smothered it to death. She Immediate
ly called her mother and her brothers
and a married sister. 1t was ten
o'clock when the child was laid in its
coffin and was buried in Canyon Hill
cemetery between two and three
o'clock on the afternoon of January
10Th. On being cross examined the
girl admitted that she did not go to
the ceemtery owing to severe head
ACHE but so far recovered as to be
able to attend a dance the same night.
The girls evidence was fully cor
federated by all the witnesses and the
jury were satisfied that no crime had
been committed and so rendered their
verdict. The jury was as follows:
John Semones, w. Williamson, e.
Johnson, j. Chamberlain, and L. B.
Perkhiser Attorney Van Duyn con-
Quoted the examination of the wit
nesses. This will doubtless close the
incident in which both comedy and
tragedy have been enacted.

The following is an extract from a
sermon delivered in Portland by Rev.
Billy Sunday, the celebrated evangel-
list. Rev. Sunday is considered one
of the most successful ministers in
the Northwest.
When the consensus of scholarship
DEGREES one thing, and the Word Of
God DEGREES another, the consensus
of scholarship can go plumb to hell,

If you came ogling around my wife,
your old carcass would assay for
lead, and they could tan your old hide

Some people will go to dirty,
good-for-nothing, sinking card party
to carry home a glass dish. All these
card-playlng, therater-going, gam

To the Editor:

Inasmuch as the Tribune has raised
the question as to the handling of the
funds of the city, l desire to make
brief explanation, especially as there
is an implied charge that l am with
holding my reason for disposing of
the funds as l have done.
In the summer of 1908, the city
council, in accordance with the law,
passed an ordinance providing for a
city depository. In the absense of
such an ordinance, the law provides
that the city funds shall be in the Gus
tody of the city treasurer. The statute
provides that the money shall not be
taken from the treasurer and de-
posted elsewhere other than in some
regularly organized bank, nor with
out bond taken from such bank in
such penal sum, or with such secu-
rity, as the council or board of trus-
tees shall direct and approve, but that
such penal sum shall not be less than
the estimated receipts from taxes and
special assessments levied and to be
levied by the corporation.
1t was provided by the ordinance
that the depository must furnish &
bond from some surety company au

REASON FOR HOLDING FUNDS

thorized to do business in this state,
and the same was fixed at 100000.
Such a bond costs bank $4,000 per
year and bids were called from the
banks on that basis. The American
State Bank was the highest bidder,
and was named as the depository. On
the 18th day of August, 1908, the
treasurer was notified of that fact, and
that the said depository, instead OF
filing a surety bond, had filed a per-
sonal bond in the sum of 100000,
which the council had authorized and
approved until Decembre LIST, 1908, at
which time the personal bond was to
give place to surety bond.
Feeling some doubt about the effect
of the council undertaking to accept
a personal bond, in violation of their
own ordinance, instead of a surety
bond, l requested the opinion of the
city attorney, and was advised by
him, by letter, that he believed ]
could safely deposit the funds with
the depository named by the city and
be relieved from any liability, but
that, in his opinion, 1 was not Obliged
to deposit them there and could MOI
be compelled to do so.
Nevertheless, for the time being, !

Us. for scotch wster Power

The growing industry Of extracting
aluminium has stimulated the search
for water-power in the British Isles,
because the extractien Of aluminium
is so expensive that only low-cost
power can be economically employed.
In this respect Scotland, with its
mountains, is coming to the front. The
water power at the falls Of Foyers, In
Scotland, has hitherto been the largest
in Great Britain; but now a still larger
plant, at Kinlochleven, utilizing the

Paris, June 2s.-Signor Gugnemo
Ferrero, the Italian historian, who Wis
tied the United States last year. con-
tinues the publication in the Figaro to-
day, of his comments on the anti
plutocratie movement in America. He
calls attention again to the lack of
organized resistance on the part of the
rich, which he explains by general
recognition on their part that the
movement has been provoked by real
abuses which must be corrected. Many
people sympathize with this movement
openly, and some sons of rich men
have thrown themselves into the fight,
This fact, the writer considers TO be
another proof of the endurance of
idealism in America, where the basis
of everything. is the theoretical rule
of the majority.

Signor Fefrero is of the opinion that

masses Is erroneous. OF the belief
held in some quarters in Europe that
the masses in America are organizing
