CITY COUNCIL
HAS A MEETING

The city council met in special ses-
sion Monday night for the purpose of
passing ordinances and considering
resolutions, but owing to the absence
of the attorney, the resolutions were
not considered. The only ordinance
passed was for the reorganization of
the fire department. One of the most
important changes made by the new
ordinance was that of paying the
members of the department. The
new ordinance fixes the number of
members for each hose cart at not less
than eight and not more than fifteen.
1t further provides that the chief shall
receive $3.50, each foreman 75cts., and
each member so cents.
The company shall drill not less
than once a month nor more than
twice and shall be entitled to the
above pay for each drill. For attend
ing a fire the members shall each re-
ceive $1.00 and in case of fire last
ing more than three hours, they shall
receive 35 cts. for each additional
hour. 1t is generally understood that
the firemen are satisfied with the new
ordinance.

He Has the Habit.

1t appears like old times TO see
Monte Gwinn on, the Caldwell streets
once more. The Gwinns were among
the first locaters in this town and for
many years M. B. Gwinn's name was
almost household word for more
than 100 miles south and west of
Caldwell. There never was an enter
prize launched but that the name of
Gwinn was near the head Of the list,
whether it be for church or a road,
or whatever it might be. Monte was
always johnnie on the spot" and
the best of 1t is he is still a contribu
tor Notwithstanding that his property
interests heer are small. It was largely
through his efforts that the Odd Fell
lows home was located at this point,
and he is helping out the college and
the Commercial club. Monte got the
habit years ago and 1t is hard to stop
at this stage of the game, and Caldwell
is glad that he don't stop.

Claims the Bridge.

Simon Dement, has laid claim to the
foot bridge across Indian creek on
fifth avenue and has taken it out. Mr..
Dement, bases his claim to the bridge
on the fact that he together with Alb
ner Galloway and Riley Cox built the
structure and it was agreed among
them that Mr.. Dement, should fall
heir to it whenever the city should de-
eide to put in a new one, which is
now being done. There is no record
in the archives of the city regarding
the transaction, but Mr. Dement, has
possession of the material and that is
nine points of the law. The bridge
which is to be put in is the one which
was in use on Seventh avenue before
the present bridge was built.

OLD FRIENDS GO
To LAKE lowell

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. Gwinn
and Mrs. r. E. Strahorn, to the num-
Der of %, we're invited to take a ride
on the Caldwell Interurban gasoline
car Tuesday, in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gwinn and Mrs. Strahorn,
through the courtesy of H. W. Dor
man, the superintendent of the road.
The party were, with few exceptions,
all old timers of the city. 1t was the
intention when the party left town
that the trip would extend to the gov
eminent dam but owing to the fact
that the road bed was undergoing re-
pairs, the car could only be run about
two miles from town. However, the
trip was a most pleasant one and af-
ter getting off the car, Ralph Cakes
photographed the entire party. Those
who were passengers were Mr.. and
Mrs. Gwinn, Cooper, Blatchley, Dor
man, Cakes, Devers and Little; Mes
danes Stone, Strahorn, Hedden, Steu-
nenberg, and Miss Kelleher; Messrs.
Stalker, Brown, Horn and Dee.

Cement Walks.

The city council is up against it.
There are several matters they want
to attend to before they become pri-
Nate citizens, but by reason of teh
scarcity of men, will have to be left
for the new board to handle. A con-
tract has been let for cement walks
around the city hall. Just how or
by whom this contract was authorized
has not yet come to light The min
utes of the council meeting fails to
reveal any information on the sub
ject of laying cement walks at the city
hall. Besides the plans contemplated
by the architect are not being follow
ed at the present time.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-04-17

of $1,000 per year, and six incandes-
cents at 800 per year, making to-
tai annual expenditure for lights OF
$1,000. Under the proposition of the
electric light company the cost will
be $14OO for 20 arcs, or 500 per year
more for double the service.
The addition of 10 more arc lights
judiciously placed throughout the
town will make this the best lighted
city in the state if not in the North
west. Coming, as 1t did, voluntarily
from the company, the reduction in
cost displays a generosity not often
shown by corporations and will GER
tainly be highly appreciated by En-
nett people.-Emmett Index.

1t is Different Here.

The old city council met Monday
night and its last official act was the
acceptance of the proposition of the
Idaho-oregon Light & Power company
to reduce the cost of arc lights to the
city from s12O per year for each light
to $40, provided the number of arcs
was increased from 10 to 20
This proposition came as an agree
able surprise to the city officials. Since
the installation of the electric light
plant six years ago the city has paid
$40 per month for each light. Ten arc
lights are now being used at a cost

what II Costs to Grow Orchards.

The question has been frequently
asked the Tribune, what ii costs to
grow an acre Of fruit trees. After dill
gent inquiry it is found that the Or
binary price is $4,000 per acre per
year. That price includes furnishing
the trees, setting them out, cultivating
and caring for them for five years. In
other words, it costs 800 per acre for
a five-year-oldorchard. This amount
is supposed to secure a frst-class
man, one who will give the orchard
his attention and who understands
how fruit trees should be pruned and
sprayed. OF course where a man is
doing the work for himself, the cost
would not be near so much.

WIN Entertain,

The Caldwell fire department will

the city council, together with the
mayor elect and council and their la

things tonight, at the fire hall. The

the present administration and a re-
ception to the new. A most enjoy
able time is anticipated, as the Cald-

well as fight fire.

CANNOT Sell and
file ON ANOTHER

The department of the interior has
handed down a ruling under date of
March 18, holding that when an en-
tryman sells his improvements on
the land and relinquishes his entry in
connection Herewith he is not entitled
to make a second homestead entry un-
der the act of February Is, 1908. This
decision is of far-reaching effect, as
almost daily such entries have been
allowed by registers and receivers Of
United States land offices in southern
Idaho. No further entries under this
act, however, whose improvements
have been sold, will be allowed until
the full text of the ruling has been
received.
There is some question also con-
corning entries already allowed, but
it Is not considered probable that any
entries prior to March Is will be af-
fected. Entrymen taking lands under
the act subsequent to this ruling will
no doubt be notified to appear and
show cause why their entries should
not be cancelled. This will necessi-
tate filing additional affidavits to the
effect that they received no considera-
ton for improvements upon lands for
merly relinquished. In order for an
entryman to avail himself of the pro-
visions of the act of February 8, 1908,
it seems he must aver that his former
entry was abandoned and that no con-
sideration of any kind was received
either for improvements or relinquish-
ment
United States Commissioners and
Other Oficers Taking Homestead
Applications: 1t was decided by the
department on March 10, 1909, that
when an entryman sells his improve
ments on the land and Feiinquishes his
entry in connection Herewith he is
not entitled to make a second home
stead entry under the act of February
8, 1908. In view of this decision it will
be necessary in all cases for second
homestead entry for them TO add to the
second homestead affidavit that they
did not sell their improvements on the
land of the former entry and relin-
quish the entry in connection there
with.

Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1909-12-20

befell tho country, John Wesley
charged to the iniquities and abstract
Wall street.
III the debate In the house waxed
dry, some bored legislator would
turn to John Wesley Gaines, Of Ten
nessee, and implore:
"Tell us about Wall street, John f"
And John would.
John appeared in Washington this
year as soon as the congressional ses-
sion began, despite the fact that cruel
fate and an ungrateful constituency
had barred him from lifting his voice
in rigorous denunciation of Wall
street He called on President Taft,
and on leaving held a score of news
paper men spellbound with a vituper-
ative discourse on Wall street. He
holds forth on the same theme night
ly to an audience in the lobby of one
of the legislative hotels.

TENNESSEE HUMORIST
is IN CONGRESS

Washington, Dee. IS.-The robust
figure and resonant voice OF John
Wesley Gains, of Tennessee, Sab"
may no longer grace the chamber of
representatives and animadvert on
the iniquities Of Wall street, but that
same robust figure and resonant voice
are by no means lost TO the national
capital.
John Wesley, who went out in n
blaze OF glory when he escorted Pres
ident Taft--then presldent-elect--t
the capitol for his Inauguration, is
resurrected.
Despite the efforts OF the Demo-
cratic voters OF the sixth congression-
al district of Tennessee to shift the
limelight from his heroic figure, and
their success in casting the glory of
representating that section upon Hon.
Joe Byrns, John Wesley is undis-
mayed. He is back in our midst.
BE 1t known that John Wesley was
one of the few reactions OF the last
congress. Whenever things got very
dull--which was quite often-John
Wesley unlimbered his oratorical ar
tillery, advanced his elocutionary cav
airy, held his verbal infantry in re-
sreve, and began a wordy assault on
Wall street.
From the failure Of the tobacco
crop to the latest storm that swept
the Great Lakes--every detail that
