The next matter to come up was the
abatement of the Canyon County jail.
The people living in the vicinity of
the Jail say the institution is an I'M
slightly and obnoxious nuisance and
ask the Club to assist them in abat-
ing it. 1t is said that the prisoners
use loud, boistrous and profane Ian
guage; that the building is unsightly
and unsanitary; and that property is
depressed in value on account of the
great number of Nampa citizens who
are, from time to time, guests Of
Sheriff Breshears. A committee con-
sisting of A. I. Meyers, w. R. Wilker-
son and w. H. Roadway was appointed
to investigate.
The next business was to pass a
resolution asking Idaho's COMPRESSION
al delegation to support bill appro-
priating $25,000,00O.OO to complete
the government reclamation project
now under way.
A communication from Rigby, ask
ing Caldwell to join in a boycott
against the Chicago & Great Western
Railway Co., in order to compel it to
build to the coast was gently laid on
the table. 1t is the concensus of
opinion in Caldwell that we shall put
on the soft pedal in talking railroad
matters at present. The people of
Caldwell will wear gum boots and
gloves kid gloves in handling the
Oregon Short Line and E. H.
Hartman during the next few
months. The company can rest in
peace for some time in the full as
surance that Caldwell will do nothing
radical. We don't want to do any
thing to antagonize the railroad un-
til the South Side branch reaches
Caldwell.
The last thing was the admittance
of Mr.. Hibner as a member Of the
: Club.

LANSDON MAKES
SERIOUS Charge

The charges made by Secretary of
State Lansdon that he had been offered
100000 to make no argument or pre-
sentation before the Board of Educa-
ton at its meeting to decide upon the
location of the deaf, dumb, and blind
school, created a great deal of inter-
est in Caldwell. The Tribune asked
Secretary Lansdon for a statement Of
the transactions of the board at this
meeting, and also made an investiga-
ton of the meeting. 1t now transpires
that it was Miss Chamberlain and not
Mr.. Lansdon who first introduced the
question of a monetary consideration
for some of the members. Miss Cham
berlain used little discretion in her
haste to give publicity to something
that to her could have been nothing
more than gossip.
The facts of the meeting as learned
by The Tribune from Mr. Lansdon fol-
low:
Statement of Facts Regarding Meeting
Board of Education Held to Locate
the Deaf and Blind School.
The governor called the meeting of
the board and vote was taken rela-
tive to the location OF the school,
which vote resulted in a tie, the gov
ern0r and Miss Chamberlain voting
for Boise and McDougall and Lans-
don voting for Weiser. Then a gener-
al discussion was had relative to the
merits of the two places, between Miss
Chamberlain and Lansdon, during
which Miss Chamberlain made the
statement that certain members OF the
Commercial club of Boise had told her
that they understood that certain votes
could be secured for the location of
the school at Boise for money con-
sideration, at the same time refusing
to give the names OF the parties max
ing this representation to her. At this
juncture, Lansdon made the statement
that he had been offered a thousand
dollars not to make any argument on
behalf of Weiser, but to simply cast
his vote and allow the others to vote
without making any presentation of
the Weiser case. At this the name of
the man making the offer was demand
ed and Lansdon replied that it was
Andy Carlson, at which time Miss
Chamberlain admitted that he was one
of the same ones that had made the
representations to her, or at least it
came through him to her.
The governors statement that Lans-
don did lot of sQulrming and made
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1909-06-26

lot of qualifications is not true.
Lansdon repeats the same statement
that he made to the board that Andy
Carlson offered him money to keep
still at the board meeting; that Lans-
don did at no time make any repre-
sensations that any member represent
ing any part of the Commercial club
made him any offer, and he never made
any such statement at the board meet
ing; that the offer was made by Mr..
Carlson as an individual without men
tioning the Commercial club at all.
There are a few facts relative to
the action of the Boise Commercial
club regarding the location of this
school which it would be we'll to have
made public. At the time of the start
ing of the agitation for the school dur
ing the session of the legislature, Mr..
Barton, of Weiser, met with the Com
mercial club of Boise, or members
representing themselves to be direct
ors of the Boise Commercial club, at
which meeting they agreed to keep
their hands off the school and allow
it to go to Weiser, which agreement
they have failed to keep. Further,
through the efforts of the Ada County
delegation in the legislature, the first
two bills were killed for the location
of the deaf and blind school. Second,
through their efforts, and their efforts
alone, the appropriation was cut down
from forty thousand dollars to the pitt
full sum of twenty-five thousand dol
lars for the building for these children.

TRIBUNE OFFERS ANOTHER
FREE TRIP TO EXPOSITION
Special Prize Offered to Candidates

Special Prize Offered to Candidates
In view of the unusual amount of
interest already aroused by The Tri-
bune's Great Subscription Contest,
the management has decided to offer
an additional prize to the contestants.
AS many Of the candidates have a
friend whom they would like to visit
the fair with, we have decided to make
the following offer:
To the young lady who receives the
largest number of votes from June
26th to July 9th we will give an extra
free trip. This trip will be held sub
ject to her order and she may dispose
of it any way that she likes, sell it,
give it away or use it. The votes that
candidate receives during this time
will be counted in the big contest as
heretofore.
By working hard now one candi-
date may win two trips. The extra
trip will include railroad transporta-
ton to and from Seattle. Pullman
reservations, full admission to fair
grounds and all attractions on the
Pay Streak.
The extra expense incurred by the
management by giving this additional
trip will be heavy, but we intend to
make this the greatest popular sub
scription contest ever held in the
state of Idaho. We are doing this
because we believe that we have the
hearty support of every man, woman
and child in Canyon county.
The Tribune is acknowledged by
all to be the leading newspaper in
Southwestern Idaho, both in circula-
ton and as a newspaper disseminator,
in sending four Of Canyon county's
most popular young ladies to the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition
without monetary cost to themselves;
save a little work that can be done at
odd moments, we will establish an
other record for newspaper progress
iveness.
Look elsewhere in this issue for the
big ad. giving full particulals of this
extraordinary offer. Following is the
standing Of the contestants:
