NEVADA men
VISIT CALDWELL

E. A. Stauffer, Dave Stanton, and
Ed Smith, arrived Sunday evening in
Caldwell from Winnemucca, Nevada.
The trip was made overland in an au-
tomobile Of the Toledo-Pope manu-
facture. The machine is a 65-H. P.
and weighs 1900 pounds. It has 10
inches clearage, that means that the
framework is that many inches above
the ground, thus enabling the machine
to pass over the ordinary obstacles to
be found on mountain roads. The Or
binary sage brush has no terrors for
the driver of this vehicle. These gen.
tlemen had business of Importance in
Boise and several other towns in wes-
tern Oregon and concluded to make
the trip in the auto. Mr.. Stauffer is
one of the heaviest dealers in cattle
and horses in southern Oregon and
northern Nevada and is we'll known
to Caldwell business men. Mr.. Staun-
ton is a prominent business man and
politician of his home state, having
represented Humbolt county in the
/ legislature two years ago and made
the speech nominating Senator Nixon
for the U. s. senate. There were
much older men In the legislature
but none who we're on to the curves
more than Dave" as he Is familiarly
called. Mr. Staunton buys nearly al
the wool In his part of the state. Mr.
Smith, who had charge OF the throttle
and knows all the kinks of getting
every pound of pull that It Is capable
of furnishing, and he owns two of thu
big cars. The party left Monday af
ternoon for Boise and started on thei
return trip Wednesday.

PRIVATE CAPITAL
MAY TAKE HOLD

P. c. Allen, living about three miles
north of Notus, where he has a home
stead, has 80 acres in rye, 10 acres in
spring wheat. and acres in potatoes.
The crops all look fine, but as there
is no water for irrigation, about the
only thing for him to do is to cut the
grain for hay. The potatoes will get
along without water and make a fair
crop, Mr., Allen had heard rumor
that the government was going to re-
lease all the land on the north side
of the river and that private capital
would construct the works. He said
that II this was true, he believed that
everyone in the distritc would sign up
even II 1t should cost more than I'M
der the government project.

DORMAN WILL
HAVE fine fruit

H. w. Dorman, whose orchard pro-
duced the apples which won some of
the princAW prizes at the big apple
show at Council Bluffs last year will
again be a strong competitor for adj
ditional honors this fall. This orchard
it situated at the west side OF town
and about one mile from the depot.
There Is nothing particularly remar-
kable about it, other than It gets good
care, such as spraying and pruning.
In fact, the orchard is a model as COM
pared to the general run of orchards
in this country. Mr.. Dorman Is on the
verge of crankiness when it comes
to his orchard, and the success he
met with last year at both Omaha and
Council Bluffs fully justifies him in
the course he pursues with his trees.
The Tribune called upon him for
information regarding the prospect
for fruit. He said that his Rome
Beauties were so thick on the trees
that they will require thinning. He
largely credits this condition to the
fact that they continued to bloom af-
ter the frost had killed the first bios

concerned, they will be better than

vicinity surrounding Caldwell, there

streets, as they should be, the location
of the mud holes is changed, but not
removed. Why not give an example
of what can be done by constructing
cutters leading from, say, the Com
mercial Bank corner west ON Seventh
to Indian creek, and If this plan
should prove a success, Kimball street
could then be improved in the same
manner. Until a system Of drainage
for those streets is established there
will be the same nuisance to contend
with, gravel will be hauled in during
the late spring and taken out in the
fall in order to keep the surplus water
from flooding the streets. There is no
question but that the business houses
located on the principal streets would
be pleased to.s see an attempt made to
rid the streets of the mud hole nuis-
ance.

TWO DIVORCE
CASESuARE FILED

Two divorce cases were filed this
week. One was entitled Margaret G.
Wiseman VS.. T. b. Wiseman. The COM
plant states that they were married
at Burnville, North Carolina in 1885.
Five children, from the age OF 10 to
% years, have been born to them. 1t
is alleged by the plaintiff that the de-
PENDANT has been willfully neglectful
in providing for the family the neces-
saries of life and has been shiftless
and dissapated and occasionally
drunk. Therefore the plaintiff asks
for a divorce.
Cora Addleman wants a divorce
from P. B. Addleman on the grounds of
neglect. He left Holyoke, Mass, in
1908, and has continued to remain
away. Three children of the ages of
IL, Is and 20 years are living.

Big EXPENSE

The careless manner In which or

located was bought by the government

COMMISSIONERS Will
BOND To- PAY INDEBTEDNESS

The commissioners were in session
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
One of the most important matters
disposed OF was that of issuing bonds
in the sum of 100000. This issue is
for the purpose of taking up the war
rant Indebtedness of the county. The
date set for the sale of the bonds is
July goth.
In the matter of the application of
the assessor for deputies, it was or
dered that in addition to four field
deputies for two months, at the rate
of $500 per day, that he be allowed
one Office deputy for one year at a
salary of $500. 1t is further ordered
that said assessor be allowed one re-
ceipt clerk for two months at $4,000
per month. 1t is understood that the
assessor has refused to accept the
above. Mr.. Crowther's proposition is
for four field deputies at $500 per day
one Office clerk for one year at $1OC
per month and one for six months al
$500 per month and does not ask fol
a receipt clerk. The refusal of the
assessor to accept the terms of the
board will doubtless bring the mat
ter into the courts.

CHANCE FOR
WHOLESALE HOUSE

The determination of the w. H. Red
way Co. to go out of the grocery bust
ness, brings to mind the fact that
there is an opportunity here for a
wholesale grocery house. This firm
has done considerable jobbing BUSH
ness in the past, while making no par
ticular attempt to build up wholesale
business. Mr.. Roadway is convinced
that such a business could be built
up in Caldwell. This city is the nat
ural business center and distributing
point for an immense section of rich
country. 1t is on the main line of the
Short Line and will be on the main
line of any other railroad that might
go through this section. The system
OF electric lines now In course OF con-
struction and extension will greatly
increase the railroad facilities Of
Caldwell. The city is well located for
a jobbing and wholesale center along
all lines. Here is a business ready
made for some enterprising man. A
retail and wholesale business could be
conducted in Caldwell with profit to
any man with capital and energy
There are undoubtedly hundreds Of
men in the county looking for Just
such an opening. Some one Of them
should get next to this opportunity
