Examination disclosed that Jackson had been hit In the breast. and that the bullet had taken such course as to break two of his ribs.
 Andrew Jackson weat upon that field expecting to be killed, but he expected to kill Dickinson. He held hIs fire by prearrangement with his second, and according to Maj. Truman, declared that he would have lived to kill his enemy, the maligner of the woman he so Intensely loved, even if he had been shot through the heart. It may be. believed that he would.
 It has been frequently declared that Jackson and Overton resorted to a trick. to deceive Dickinson as to the location of Jackson's heart. by peculiar adjustment of his loose coat or frock.
 If that was true. Dickinson and his friends had little cause for complaint having themselves resorted to the un- dignifled trick of trying to unnerve Jackson by exhibitions along the road of Dickinson's superb markmanship.
 Never Definite.
 Contrary to pretty general impress sion, there has never been a definite duelling code in the United States. Nearly all of our duels have been fought according to the terms of foreign codes. or else under regula- tions made for each individual affair. The Irish code contains nothing which could be constructed as forbidding a subterfuge such as it is said Jackson and his second used. The only ground Of criticism under that code. has never been mentioned before. It was thfiat Jackson's mishap at the first attempt to fire was equivalent to a shot and Dickinson was entitled to another chance, unless Jackson dis closed the fact that he was wounded.
 Rule 1s reads:

Chief Engineer Nelson P. Lewis, of the Board of Estimate Is of the opinion that the pavements an the large cities of Europe are not only superior in ma terial and method of laying to New .Yorlxs paving, but cost less Mir. Lewis was sent by the Board of Estimate to attend the International Road Congress in Paris last October and visited the populous cities of Great Britain and the Continent to look into their paving sys- terns. He has prepared . report which he will submit today to the Mayor, says The New York Sun
 MT Lewis thinks the highway system of France is the finest in the world. He says:
 The minute attention given to drain age and other details of construction and the extreme care with which the roads are maintained are impressive to one accustomed to what must be ad- mitted to be the slovenliness of Ameri- can practice in these particulars.
 The French highway system has been an evolution. The work of construction and maintenance is entirely under the control of the engineers of bridges ana roads, thoroughly trained corps of technical men constituting what Is probably the greatest engineering or- ranization in the world. All the roads in commune department or city are under their .jurtsdiction. There is no conflicting authority, no diversity Of policy or method in contiguous depart ments or communes. The, results have been so striking that the nationaliza- tion of highway work has lately been advocated in Great Britain. This policy is in marked contrast to that prevailing in this country, and especially in the City of New York, where In nve boroughs there are five distinct hign. way bureaus entirely independent or each other, each one of which has US oSyn organixation its own methods Of administration and It's own standard or work. The French system Of natiohal- ization might not be adapted to tne conditions existing in this country Dut that system has resulted in France , n the best built and perhaps the mos' thoroughly maintained highways in the world! while in this city there IS par pable waste of energy. material anu money, and the results are by common consent unsatisfactory.

DICKINSON HAD INsULTED MRS. JACKSON
The deed Gave Cuecfal Test of Jack- son's Nerve--He Thought His Own Wound was Mortal
 When He Fired.

Nintey-three years ago today And rev Jackson, Tennessee's greatest son fought and won the battle or, New Orleans, says The Chattagooga Times In all the Union this anniversary. observed as Jack son day, will recall the military prowessr and the match less statesmanship of "Old Hickory treaty of peace between England and the American states had been signed at Ghent, Dec 24,- 1874. two weeks before the battle of New Orleans but the fact was not known to the British and American commanders. With his motley army of regulars, militia from surrounding states. few pirates and a battalion of negroes, Jackson held the city.
 On Jan. 8, 1915, the British, under Gen Peck enham attacked In force but were repulssd by the hardy Ameri- cans entrenched behind hastily con- ssructed barriers Of cotton bales The Britons lost their commander and more than 200 men. while the Ameri- can loss was only eight killed and thirteen wounded.
 One of the most dramatic incidents In the career of the immortal Jack son was his duel with Charles Dickin- son. An interesting account of that tragic event. prepared especially for The Times, ise appended:
 The duel which cost to America the life of Alexander Hamilton Is prob ably the most widely known of any in the annals of dueling. Next to that Andrew Jackson's "affair of honor'' with Charles Dickinson is probably most familiar to the people of this country and Europe. s
 This Is due, not only to the great prominence of Gen. Jackson at the time and the worldwide fame he later achieved, but of the halo of romance the radiance of fierce, yet tender affection which cling to the history and memory of the tragic event. st
 Judge Jo. c. Guild gives as trust- worthy an account of it as Is to be found in his book called "Old Times In Tennessee" Many other accounts have been written notable especially those of the late Col. George E. Purvis and the historians, Parton and Maj

to e shot. and snap or non-cock Is to be constructed as a mishre.
 The impression Is almost universal among those who are familiar with tlris duel that Gen Jackson never ex- perienced regret that he had killed Dickinson. Indeed. Judge Guild re- lates on authority of the St. Louis Republican. that in his latter days e friend, calling on him, chanced to lying on table.
 That is the pistol with which I killed Mir. Dickinson" quietly remark ed the general.
 The statement seems exceedingly improbable. The remark ascribed to Jackon was neither Jacksonian nor delicate. Most men who have taken human life do not care to talk about the misfortune.
 Some twenty-five years ago the Louisville Courier Journal stated that, while Jackson and his friends were taking the last looks at the face of Mrs. Jackson the general raised his cane, as if to command silence, and solemnly said:
 "In the presence of this dear
 saint I can. and do forgive all my
 enemies. But those vile wrethes
 who have slandered her must look
 to God for aiercy."
 But Judge Guild states in his "Old Times in Tennessee" that the late Gen. Harding, of Belle Meade Farm fame, wrote to Gen. ). c. Harris. that long before Jackson's death he ex- pressed to Gen. Harding sincere regret that he had killed the man. He had intended to fire into the air. but. under the belief that his own wound was mortal, on sudden impulse, he took the deadly aim.

GOVERNMENT MAY QUIT.

A rumor has gained currency that
the government may turn the north
side portion of the Payette-Boise re-
clamation project, over to private cap
italists. The Tribune can not sub
stantiate the rumor, and is convinced
that there is little or no foundation
for it. 1t would be great thing If
private capital should undertake the
project. We have no fight to make
against the government reclamation
service, or any of the officers; but it
is certain that private capitalists
do more in two years than the gov
eminent will do in FIVE. If private cap
ital were interested the present gen.
GRAFTON might live to see the compl-
ton of the north side part of the pro-
ject. We sincerely hope there is some
foundation for the rumor.

MUST TAKE CARE OF WATER.

"All persons, companies or corpora
tons who suffer any water used by
them for the purpose of Irrigation, or
any other purpose, to flow into or
upon any public highway, road or
street, in any manner than that au-
thorized by law, are guilty of a mis-
demeanOr, and upon conviction thereof
must be fined in any sum not less than
twenty-five dollars nor more than If
ty dollars, together with the costs of
suit, and for a second offeIse, double
said fine and costs; and 1t is hereby
made the duty of all road supervisors,
constables and marshalls, to make
complaint before the proper court, for
violations of this section, whenever
notified or having knowledge thereof"
The foregoing is section 7139 of the
Revised Code of Idaho. The county
commissioners and county attorney
have taken steps to see that the law
is enforced, and the Tribune takes
this opportunity Of warning the peo-
pie. In the past in the city and coun-

NAMPA SPENDS AND SMILES.

The city of Nampa has an unbound
ed confidence in the future of herself.
She is backing up that confidence
with some mighty substantial i'm
provements. A Nampa citizen spends
his own money and the public's money
with equal ease and fiuency. He goes
the limit with confidence that can
not fail, and time has shown that he
cannot go fast enough to keep ahead
of the citys needs. A Nampa map
thinks that Nampa is larger city than
any other on earth, ten times its size.
We are convinced that he Is right. Men
and towns are usually about as large
as they feel. 1t pays to feel big.
Some of us in Caldwell have been
wondering for nigh on 20 years now,
what keeps Nampa going. We cannot
see what right Nampa has on earth
anyway. We don't believe she really
has a licence to be; but there she Is
with her million dollar sugar factory,
and the finest hotel in Idaho. She has
her brewery and her railroads, hand
some business blocks and beautiful
homes; and more are building every
day. She decided a year or so ago
that in order to be the biggest little
town on earth she needed paved
streets. No sooner said than done.
She felt a pinAng for a city hall, and
Immediately set about getting one to
the tune of 100000. Nampa needed
a postofice in keeping with her digni-
ty, and along comes Hickey with an
idea and $25,O00.0O in cash. He built
the postofice building and rented half
the ground floor to Uncle Sam for la
cents per month. Major Hickey Is nc
philanthropist, desiring to cut down
the postal deficit. He saw the need
of a postofflce in his part of town and
built one. Some one got an idea once
that a public library was needed. Ole
Andrew Carnegie was at once convlnc.
ed that the only way on earth to per
petuate his name and fame was t.
plant $25,OOO.OO in Nampa soil. HI
did it. Nampa in some manner o.
other gets them all. She gets then
coming and going. The reason sh,
gets them is because OF her suprem
confidence in herself. She knows tina
she has future, and proposes realiz
ing upon the future in the present. l
may be that Nampa is not conservative
enough. We do not know about that
All we know is that Nampa Is growing
rapidly; that her business houses ar
prosperous, and that her people ar
happy.

Caldwell, for $4,000 damages. There
is nothing small about the Boise val
ley road except their income and that
is what got them into their present
dilemma. Two years ago the repre-
sentatiVes of the Boise road made
overtures to the Caldwell Interurban
stockholders to purchase their road and
pay for it with gold bearing per
cent bonds" The preliminaries had
all been arranged, the stock was all
in the bank and the Boise road had
their bonds also deposited. Then
came the financial crisis and the Off
GERS of the Boise Valley road were
looking for place to escape comply
ing with their contract and finally
found one, but not before they had
spent all the cash which the Caldwell
road had accumulated, besides con-
tracing numerous debts with mer-
chants of this city which they refused
to pay, with the result that numerous
suits have been instituted by the
Caldwell merchants. The present suit
is brought for the purpose of getting
$4,000 worth of Boise valley bonds,
now in the vaults of the First National
Bank and for $4,000 damages.

Another Attempt.

Yesterday morning when the jail
was getting it's regular overhauling
for sanitary purposes and also as a
matter of precaution, since the at
tempt last week to break Jail was dis
covered, it was found that partial ar
rangements had been made by those
occupying the corridors to cut
through the steel lining of the ceiling
in such a manner that it would have
been but trifie of few minutes work
for the inmates of the corridor to have
made their escape. The place selected
for the attempt was in one corner of
the room used for kitchen and loUng-
their work from being noticed, besides
they used the remainder of candle
to cover up the work of the saw on
the metal. 1t was only through the
vigilance of Deputies Mitchell and
Paynter that the escape was foiled.
Had 1t not been discovered yesterday
the chances are that at least a num-
Der of the gang would have made their
escape. Sheriff Breshears is in the
northern part of the state looking for
fellow who victimized the Tuttle
Grocery company, of Nampa. The dep,
uties in charge are Charley Payntel
and Fred Mitchell. 1t is Just possible
that a guard will be located in the in
terror of the Jail until court meets ant
disposes of the extra inmates. 1t is con
ceded that Sheriff Breshears has abou
the toughest lot of prisoners ever con
fined in the Jail.

gard to who is injured. 1t has become
such a nuisance that it must be abat-
ed. The city officers could also spend
a little time in correcting the evil In
the city with benefit to the cOmmuni-
ty, generally. Some of our streets
have become lakes under lax enforce
ment of the law. The Law provides
that the user Of the water shall take
care of his waste; and that he cannot
use streets and roads for disposal pur-
poses. The law should be enforced.

High School Commencement.

The high school commencement ex-
ercises were held last night in the OPP
era house. Every seat was occupied
and many remained standing. Caldwell
has always proved loyal to her schools
with the result that our public school
is second to none in the state. Public
schools like other associations have
their ups and downs and our schools
are no exception to the rule. The Tri-
bune is of the opinion that there never
was a time in the history of District
No. 20 when the conditions were bet
ter. Professor Boulton and his corps
of teachers, finished the school year
last night, leaving only the kindliest
feeling between teacher and pupil.
The high school graduates this year
are Elsie Isham and Mary Bales, and
are the first to graduate since the four
year high school course was adopted.
The fourth year class consists Of eight
members who will graduate next year.
Professor Boulton has been connected
with the Caldwell schools for two
years and has given universal satisfac-
tion. Many improvements are con-
templated for next year. The faculty
will be increased by the addition OF
Professor Hill, of Cincinnati, who has
had eleven years experience and who
is now one of the best teachers in the
Lane Seminary.
The Tribune regrets that 1t is Inn
possible to give a detailed report OF
the exercises in this issue, but will dc
so in next weeks paper.

walls would not stand the extra
weight. The result of the report is
that an addition will have to be built
