"Well, sir, counting sixty heaters to
the acre and twenty pounds of coal to
each heater, you have 1900 pounds and
for four acres you have 1890 pouds for
one night only. There might be two
or three or more nights when fires
would be needed. You see what an ex-
pense we would be at.
"Now, if our location was such that
we only got crop once in three
years, positions would be different"
He would indeed be blue, who after
reading the above failed to respond in
true reciprosity of heart and soul. We
are convinced that on the whole the
newspaper men of Idaho are pretty
good lot. AS the Herald says var

it all sincerity stands out clear,

in kindly vein.

CALDWELL CREAMERY Will REORGANIZE

movers in the new organization in an
interview with a representative of
the Tribune yesterday said: at is a
we'll known fact that THE great mar
ket controlling centralizing plants of
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wis
consin, have become so oppressive to
dairymen that cooperative plants
have taken their places with but few
exceptions, as the dairymen found
that it was impossible to obtain fair
price in any other way"
"The cooperative companies in the
Mississippi Valley have the reputa-
ton of manufacturing the highest
grade butter in the world today, sim
ply because the dairymen there were
the first to supervise the sale and
manufacture of their products.
The Caldwell company will be CO.
operative in every sense. The men,
bers receiving all of the proceeds a.
bovo actual operating expenses.
The boosters of this city now have
an opportunity to boost in a practical
way, this will be the means of bring
ing great deal of cash to our dairy
men that is now being spent else
where. Come up to the meeting Mon
day and help the good work along"

After having long suffered patient
ly in the hope that the school trus-
tees would accedo to School Trustee
Clagett's judgment, four of the ladies
who formed the teaching staff res
igned in a body, refusing longer to
submit to the positive indignities that
have been forced upon them.
A statement appeared in a Boise
paper recently to the effect that the
four former lady teachers of the Vale
School had been retired, but it is
we'll known that the information Civ
en- to those papers was erroneous.
The ladies voluntarily sent in their
resignation to the very great regret
of the citizens of Vale. Mrs. Jacobs,
Miss Mulkey, Miss Platt and Miss
Ford are the ladies' alluded to. Their
resignation leaving the school would
be keenly felt by every one.

After some delay on account of
the sickness of debaters, the Annual
Cleaver Gold Medal Collegiate Elk
temporaneous Debate will occur We'd
nesday evening next in the College
Assembly Hall. This is the second
annual debate and as it is almost an
unique affair it will be we'll to say a
word about the same. The middle OF
October announcement was made that
the general subject for this debate
would be labor and capital. Students
were told to read up about the various
problems of labor and capital. We'd
nesday afternoon the faculty will as
semble and decide upon tho special
question for debate, This subject will
be given out to the debaters two and
one-half hours before the debate. In
this contest the student needs good
grasp of the general subject and a
quick mind for choosing tho impor-
tant and vital points.
The only debate of this kind is the
Berkeley Stanford debate. Last year
the general subject was American
Imperialism, and the special subject
was whether America could be bene-
fitted by securing Cuba. Miss Marie
Boone was last years winner,

COL. CLAY Wins
IN CONTEST CASE

In the contest case of Mamie h.
Bedford VS.. Henry c. Clay, involving
a quarter section of land near Cald-
we'll, register and receiver of the
Boise Land Office Monday handed
down a decision dismissing the pro
test. 1t is held that the aged entry
man had shown good faith and that
when de discovered he could not make
living on the land had right to
offer communication proof. The decis-
ion is in part as follows:
On the question of cultivation and
improvement, the evidence shows
these have been entirely satisfactory
when considered in connection with
the age of this entryman. He is now
in his list year, and it will be admit
ted by any reasonable person that he
has done as much as could be expect
/ ed of him under the circumstances.
/ 1t has been held by the department
that a person cannot take homestead
entry for the mere purpose of secur-
ing title TO Ine ldllu -'"iI vi ~
Communication proof by one who has
made an entry with that intention
will subject the entry to cancellation.
GENERAL CHARGES REFLECTED.
The general charge is reflected in
the question of protestant's attorneys,
that this entry was taken solely for
securing title to the land, but there is
no evidence whatever to sustain that
idea. The entryman himself states he
took the land intending to make it his
! home, and desires still to make it his
home, but found he was unable, IN
the absence of water for irrigation,
to make living there. Witnesses tes-

Editor Tribune:
The water works bonds have been
voted, the present city administra-
ton is upheld, and Caldwell will con-
tinue it's upward, progressive move
ment. 1t was said of an eminent
Greek statesman that he found Athens
a village of mud houses, and he left
it a city of marble, and when the
present city administration shall have
completed it's work, almost as much
will be said of them. 1t will pave the
business section, sewer the greater
portion of tho town, water the ceme-
terry, have an adequate water system,
adequate fire protection, have miles of
cement sidewalks lining both sides of
every street, the streets lighted,
curbed, drained and macadamized in
the residence section as we'll as the
business section. And, notwithstand-
ing it makes US gray-headed and bald
headed and nervous from lack of sleep
and overwork trying to find out
where the "cowries" are to come from
to pay for all these improvements,
and at the same time fed and clothe
the children, the city will be thing
or beauty and source of perennial
joy.

in the prospect What if one or two
of us must fall by the way in keeping
abreast of progress, it is no more

A movement is now on foot and will
be formally launched Monday after
noon at two o'clock in the city hall
that will prove of interest to all farm
ers and dairymen in this section Of
the country, when a meeting will be
held for the purpose of organizing a
Cooperative Creamery Association.
The company will have capital stock
of $4,000, which the promoters be-
lieve will be ample to place Caldwell
dairy products on the best markets,
thus assuring the dairymen interested
an equablo price.
That the project will be amply fin
anced is already assured as $4,000
has already been subscribed by the
following we'll known dairymen: M.

HOMESTEADERS GET time
EXTENDED BY LATE RULING

The commission of the general land
Office has promulgated set of regu-
lations for the guidance of registers
and receivers of local land offices in
the administration of the provisions
of an act of congress, approved Jan
uary %, 1910, extending the time for
certain homesteaders to establish res
idence upon their lands as follows:
1.-The first section of the act applies
named made after June /, 1909, and
in such cases the entrymen are given
until May Is, 1910, to establish resi-
dence on their claims. 1t also applies
to soldiers declaratory statements
filed in the states named after June l,
1909, and such declarants are given
until May Is, 1910, TO make their
homestead entire and establish their
residence on the land. If any payment
is required to be made in connection
with the entry under the declaratory
statement, as in the case of coded In
dian reservations, the act also oper-
ates to extend the payment until the
entry is made.
TIME WILL NOT BE SHORTENED.
The first provision to section 1 of
the act provides that the period of
Communication or of actual residence
under the homestead law shall not be
shortened, Entrymen who have taken

From the above statement it clearly
appears that the cost of running the
water works plant for the past eight
months has been $24O.67 per month
and that the plant earned for the city
by improvements, extensions and ma
terials on hand, $4,235.68. Deducting
the $85O.00 from the present deficit it
clearly appears that the present out
standing indebtedness chargeable
against the system is $1O87.16 for the
past eight months and is set off by
$4,235.6S profit, making a net profit
in the past eight months of $3148.52.
Had this money been set aside for
the payment of interest on the bonded
debt and to create a sinking fund
instead of being used for the purchase
of material, improving the system and
making extensions, the showing would
