AS the matter of street paving has
come up for consideration by the peo-
pie of Caldwell, The Tribune has TAX
en- up the matter with the Warren
Construction Co., with the view of get
ting an authoritative statement as to
the probable cost of paving. The let
ter from the company we append, that
the people may know without preju-
dice, what the cost is. The Bitulithic
method of pavement has been adopted
and used all over the country, and is
giving great satisfaction. The follow
ing will prove interesting in any
event:
Answering your inquiry as to the
probable cost of paving in Caldwell
with the Bithulithic pavement, we
would estimate the cost for street So
feet between curbs, exclusive of the
8 foot car track area, would not ex-
coed $7.25 per front foot, including
curbs. If the present curbs were
suitable, the price per front foot
would not exceed $675 per front foot
for So foot street with car track.
For street 40 feet between curbs
without car tracks, we would estimate
the cost would not exceed $6.75 per
per front foot including curbs and II
present curbs were suitable the price
per front foot would not exceed $6.25
The city's portion for improving the
intersections will approximate $4,000
for each intersection and about $500

B|TUUITHIC PAVEMENT
COST IS ONLY NOMINAL

for the pavement in front of each al
ley.
1t is customary for the city to pro-
vide the funds for paying for the in
tersections and alleys, by municipal
bond issue authorized by the people at
a city election called for the purpose.
The property owners may either pay
their assessment in cash or avail
themselves of the bonding act under
the operation of which 7 per cent s.
year bonds are issued against the inn
provement district, interest payable
semi-annually and 1-5 the principal
annually for years. The first in
terest would be payable about six
months after the signing of the con-
tract.
The above prices are based on the
assumption that the work will be
brought out in the early summer, in
an amount aggregating about IL to
Is blocks, which is the least amount
it would pay to move the plant to
Caldwell to undertake. If less guam
tity than the above is decided on, we
VOL Id team the wearing surface from
our Nampa plant, and this would en-
tail an extra expense Of about 10 per
cent
! We shall be glad to answer any fur

will send our representative to Cald-
we'll upon request.
Thanking you for the inquiry, we

On the night of March third Albion
met and defeated Rexburg in debate.
The question was, Resolved, That
Idaho should adopt a system of ini-
tiative and referendum" such as Ore
gon has by Art. w of her Constitu-
ton. Immediately after the debate
President Axline of the Albion Normal
telegraphed Coach Gipson that they
preferred to debate the negative at
Caldwell, but for the C. of I. to take
it's choice, and he would be glad to
have us come down there. Altho our
teams are evenly matched, our aff1r-
native team had the misfortune to
lose one of their debates, through no
fault of theirs. Thursday Professor
Gipson decided that the negative team
had the better right to debate the AL
bion team, so he wrote that the college
would debate the negative side of the
their question, which was different
from ours. We thought this would be
SATISFACTORILY UuI "OuhO0OoJ ONOAAho
a telegram was received from Albion
saying that they had dropped their af-
firmative and would debate the mega
tive side of the question at Caldwell
But we had dropped our affirmative
team also. We wired to them saying
that we would debate the negative o
their question at Albion. Thursday
night they telegraphed saying that II
we went there we would have to de-
bate the affirmative side of the ques-
ton. AS this would call for a re-
modelling of our mems debates, we
wired back that we would debate the
negative side of the question whenever
they got ready. 1t seems that the rea-
son that Albion backed out on their
own proposition is simply a compli-

of Idaho enjoyed a most pleasant
evening as the guests of Miss Rae
Olmstead at her home in this city
Tuesday evening. The meeting was
to have been a sort of business meet
ing, but gaiety predominated from the
time of arrival. The first number on
the impromptu program was a Vir-
ginia Reel and other dances followed
quickly in succession. A picnic lunch
was one of the browning features Of
the evening, each member having do
nate ten cents for that purpose. At
ter the lunch the business for which
the meeting had been called was
quickly despatched, and the girls re-
turned to their homes, voting this
meeting the jolliest gathering of the
season. Besides they killed two
birds with one stone" by having
good time and attending to business.

Mrs. Devers gave the last OF her
series of parties Thursday afternoon.
A flower romance was read by Mrs.
Devers and the guests were asked to
distinguish the names Of the flowers
mentioned in the story, after this, pa
pers were passed round with questions
upon them and the answers were to be
formed out OF words beginning with
the initials Of each persons husbands
name; many amusing answers were
given. When luncheon was served,
the guests were told to hunt for 1t
and a general search was made. FL
nally some bright eye discovered
table out on the porch which had been
enclosed with flags and bunting and
here soup vase served. At the sum-
mons of horn the guests were hidden
to hunt for the next course, which was
found to be in the breakfast room, the
next was in a room upstairs and the
final one was in the dining room at
table beautifully decorated with green
and white carnations. Irish forts,
bearing the flag Of Ireland, shamrock
place cards, attached to which were
green and white favors bearing
shamrock. Each favor being snapped,
disclosed caps of various shapes and
colors which the guests donned and
quaint notices which we're read by
the guests. Hdlarity prevailed and
each one left thanking Mrs. Devers
for one of the most enjoyable after

It looks very much as though plat
forms and pledges will not cut much
figure in the Caldwell city election.
Two calls are published, both said to
be by the authority of the citizens
organization. The only difference in
the two is, that one calls for con-
yention Saturday night and the other
Monday night. The former is signed
by o. A. Christopher, H. e. Wallace,
and T. s. Jackson; while the latter is
authorized by Elmer Clark, r P. Scat
terday, and D. D. Campbell. 1t has
not been ascertained by what power
either of these committees we're
given authority, but it is believed that
pure and unadulterated patriotism
was the motive. 1t is generally admit
ted that SO far as the principles of the
two organizations are concerned, there
is no difference; they each are oppos-
ed to the saloons and both agree to
let the local option law take it's course
providing that If 1t should prove to be
constitutional, otherwise, the Christie
pher party will invoke the powers of
the city council to prohibit saloons
being licensed while the Clark combi-
nation agree to submit the question
of licensing saloons to vote of the
citizens. In all other questions, such
as the old chestnuts referring to mu-
nicipal improvements, economy in
handling the funds and such other
hot air promises as may appear neces-
sary for the good OF the people and
the salvation of the city, they both
agree perfectly.

Mrs. Mary Ash passed away at the
home of her daughter. Mrs. Dixon,
Monday morning, at the ripe age of
SO years. Mr.. and Mrs. Ash have been
residents of this valley for Is years

Mrs. Ash, whose maiden name was
Heckelthorne, was bora in Crawfords-
VILE, Ohio, In 1929. Her parents
moved to Morocco, Indiana, when she
was but q child. On reaching woman
hood she married Solomon Ash, who
early responded to his country's call
when the rebellion broke out, Shout
dered a musket and bid his wife and
six small children farewell, the eldest
being but 10 years old, During the
husbands absence, Mrs. Ash cultivat-
ed the farm and looked after the well
fare of her children, shearing the few
sheep and then cardlng and spinning
and weaving the wool into clothing
She was one Of the few pioneers who

convention without a slate of some
kind being arranged for before the
convention date, and this campaign
will be no exception to the rule. AS
the time for the conventions draws
near, 1t is interesting to note the diff
ferent opinions expressed by citizens
regarding the possibility of who is the
strongest man on each ticket. So
far as the Christopher ticket is con-
cerned it is generally conceded that
il Walter Grifiths will accept the
nomination for mayer 1t will be given
him. But c. G. Smith, the present in
cumbent, is after the nomination and
as possession is considered mine
points in law" and the rule works in
city election as well as in legal con-
tests, so it now looks like the honor
will go to the Smith family, that is,
providing Grif1ths declines. For
clerk, the sanhedrim favors Ralph
Beal, although c. J. Shorb had a num-
Der of friends present, consequently
no decision was made. The office Of
treasurer was skipped for the reason,

ton of councilmen was not difficult,
owing to the absence Of many Of the
proposed candidates. For the first
ward, the names of 1. s. Binford, w.
r. Wilkerson and Henry Blatchley,
were suggested, but it is understood
that at least two of these gentlemen
will positively decline the honor. The
second ward, H. B. Aven and Thomas
Walters were named without opposi-
ton. In the third ward there appears
to be plenty of good material from

gram was completed, the social COM
mittee, consisting of Mesdames Stone,
Clark and Aven, who were dressed to
represent Dutch housewives, served
Dutch cake and coffee to about 35 Ia

cided that this might go down in the
history of the club as being one OF
the successful social meetings of the
club.

Another Deal.

Since the above was put In type the
political atmosphere has been con-
siderably agitated over the proposed
nominees for city Offices. Caucusses
have been held both day and night and
compromises are being talked of but
as yet nothing definite has been de-
termined on. 1t Is said that the
Christopher crowd have fatty declar-
ed that they will not support some of
the proposed nominees on the Clark
ticket II they are nominated and II
necessary they will put up a third
ticket of their own choice. But on the
other hand II the Clark forces submit
there will be nothing but harmony.
II will then be up to Mayor Smiths
followers to get In line or combat the
united combination as the mayor is
not satisfactory to either crowd.
Nothing positive will be known just
what the final result will be, until
after the Monday night meeting
There Is no argument that can be
offered why some man should not be
nominated for mayor who Is not
