Tho stockholders of tho Western
National Bank held their annual
meeting Tuesday February 8th. 1t
also happened that Mr.. Claud Catch
the United States Bank examiner was
engaged in the regular semi-annual
examination of the bank on this day.
So between being good to the examiner
and doing their best to impress the
directors and stockholders of the bank
that they were the right people and
at the same time attending to their
routine duties the bank force had a
lively time.
Mr.. Catch was invited into the
stockholders meeting, the stockhold-
ers thus getting the benefit of the
light his official examination could
throw upon the affairs of the bank
and also of the helpful suggestions
which his large experience enabled
him to make.

HON. PAUL BLACKSTONE
VISITS THE Magic CITY

ever since. His farm contains several
hundred acres, 600 of which are in
timothy, which he is now selling at
$4,000 per ton. One crop of timothy
would surely pay his campaign expens-
es, SO you needn't worry about Hon.
Paul Clagstone, farmer. He has hay
to burn and might as well burn a little
of it running for governor as in any
other way we know of.
Mr.. Clagstone arrived in Caldwell
last Friday and remained here until
Saturday evening. While in the city
he was guest of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M.
Thompson. He met most of the prom
ineRt men of the community and ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
Caldwell and vicinity. In fact he is
quite willing to come down here for
two or may be four years. A change
of air would be of considerable benefit
to him. While in this section he feels
that he may as well be busy as not.
A little job like holding down the ex-
ecutive chair at Boise would just about
suit him. The work is light, the en-
virons pleasant, and the occupation is
considered respectable. All in all, that
job would suit Hon. Paul Clagstone.
His purpose down here is to let the
people know that he can be depended
upon. He is not saying much but is
in earnest intensely and mellifluously,
He has a few ideas of government that
he thinks should be tried and of course
no one could put those ideas to the
test like Hon. Paul, himself. We are
inclined to think he could do pretty
well ourselves.
The people of Caldwell were well
impressed with Mr.. Clagstone. They
are inclined to look upon him with
favor. He is, undoubtedly, conscien'
tious, hard working and capable
Then he is a farmer. He is an in
tensely and mellifluously earnest
farmer. Remember that.

the grounds is $3O,866. There re
mains in the treasury 10 cents. The

The business of the rieeting was

After the business of the meeting
was transacted the gentlemen pro-
ceeded to systematically enthuse each
other. Hon. John c. Rice was called
upon and he responded in an appro-
pirate manner. 1t seems Mr.. Rice has
an idea that Caldwell ought to be bet
ter as we'll as larger. This idea is
something new. Most of US were un-
der the impression that Caldwell had
reached the acme OF perfection in
goodness. AS Mr.. Rice promised tc
work in harmony with the club ir
making Caldwell bigger, his reference
to the other improvement was excused
President Holt seized upon Mr. Rice''
suggestion to make Caldwell better
by Immediately calling upon DR.. F
E. Springer. Holt is man who be
lieves in doing things at the drop O
the hat and Rev. Springer is the maj
to help in making Caldwell better. H
said that he was with the club in max
