charge In the complaint being a very
unusual one. The statutes, however,
make this provision which affordt

ed for Vale, Ore, but were inter
copied at Caldwell and taken Dack
to Boise. 1t is said that the girl OBJ
jected to going with Rhodes, but un
der force of threats consented to dc
SO.

peacemaker and smooths out the lie
gal difficulties of those who arr
brought before him, asked Rhodes /
he still wanted to marry the girl
and being assured by the defendan
that "Bakis was willin'," dispatched
him to the court house for mar
riago license and then and there tie'

OUR STREET FAIR.

Payette is preparing to hold a
street fair and carnival the latter
part of this month, the magnitude of
which will be a surprise to many
The list and amount of prizes as
sumo proportions in keeping with an
old established county fair. But the
men who are planning the important
event want to give the people of the
Payette Valley a fair and carnival of
which they will be proud. 1t will be
no dinky affair. Liberal prizes are
being offered in all lines of industry
and the fair committees have assur-
ances from farmers, stock men, mer-
chants, manufacturers and others
that they will bring in large exhib-
its. Then the carnival company that
Is to furnish the attractions is reput-
ed to be first class, with fine lot of
entertainments. Already the carni-
val spirit is in the air. 1t is contag-
ious, and by the time the fair opens
we predict that this spirit will pos
sess all of us. That is what makes
fairs and carnivals successful. Get
the spirit and then boost.-Payette

TAX RATE Higher
THAN EVER YET

The County Commissioners at the
meeting this week fixed the tax rate
for this year at $3.50 on each one
hundred dollars valuation, This is
the highest tax rate in the history
Of Canyon county. The assessed
valuation of the county is $S,916,-
900. The rate last year was $1.65
per one hundred dollars. Owing to
the fruit crop failure in the Payette
valley last year the taxpayers and
bankers there asked the commission
ers to make the rate $3.50, the
bankers OF Caldwell. Nampa, Pay
cite, Emmett and Parma agreeing to
carry the warrants. The commits
sioners knowing that the money
raised would not meet the expenses
of the county. This accounts fol
] the high rate this year.

NICKLE BADLEY
BESMEARS HIMSELF

Our friend, G. M. Nickle, has II
and has 1t bad. He has suffered /,
relapse. We trust that time will
cure him of his affection. In We'd
nesday's News Mr.. Nickle says: Il
would not come down and besmear
myself with the filthy muck of the
swamps or even stoop to answer the
article in the Tribune of Sept. 8, in
which my affidavit is deceitfully, dis
honestly and viciously abused, were
it not that | might possibly help 10
elevate the mind of the pimple-head
blubber-brained individual who
would DARE to SO deceitfully mis-
construe the right meaning of the
truth, made public in said affidavit.
We are quite certain that that SELL
tence alone will prove real elevating
both to the Tribune and to the gen.
eral public. 1t is too bad though
filthy muck of the swamp" in order
to elevate his fellow man. We APP
preciate the sacrifice he has made
He takes quite naturally to the
muck, though, and we would be
quite justified in saying he seems
right at home. He is evidently nc
stranger to the "muck of the
swamp" and besmears himself quite
cheerfully. In fact he besmearS
himself without answering the arti'
Gle in The Tribune. No doubt he
found it easier to besmear himself
than to answer that article. Others
than Mr.. Nickle have done the same
thing time and again during the past
twenty years. He is not alone in his
degradation.
We would like to have Mr.. Nickle
explain the precise object, purpose
and intent of his affidavit. When we
are in possession of his version OF
his own affidavit we may be able tc
tell what he is driving at. His com.
munication in the News convinceF
one that he got down into the muck
all right but it contains little other
information. Does he now mean tC
say that he did not intend giving M
O. V. Bailey a clean bill of health
We stated that that was his object II
making the AFFIDAVIT. He now says
that we "deceitfully, dishonesty anc
viclously abused his AFFIDAVIT ano
"deceltfully misconstrued tho rtgh
meaning OF the truth made pubic II
TINT AFFIDAVIT" We fear that Mr. o
V. Bailey will not relish reading Mr.
NIckle's version OF tho affidavit. Al
va understand 1t now Mr.. Nieklt
does not wish to swear that Mr.. BAD
lev is honest. II that be his posi-
tion we humbly crave his pardon OF
our Bonded knee. He Is entitled u
get mad. In fact, he has license
IN besmear himself three or foul
times If he sees fit and 1t affords Mn
opv relief. He is entitled to goot
long wallow in the "muck OF tn
swamp" or any other muck he ma.
bovo Mt hand. He has earned al
tho t,Ith he can use. If we are righ
this time we again offer him our ao
ject apologies.

The HIGH SCHOOL
is COMPLETED
CALDWELL'S NEW HIGH SCHOOL
is COMPLETED AND READY
FOR OCCUPANCY.

Contractor Harding and Superinten-
dent of Construction Baumgardner
Turn Over the Beautiful and Spac-
iOus New Building to the School
Board.
At last Caldwell has a high school
of which she may feel more than
proud, especially those that may have
the pleasure of occupying the same.
for more delightful building does
not exist in the State of Idaho or
any other state.
On the first floor will be found the
commOdious rooms for the Superin-
tendent and teachers, together with
three large class rooms,
On the second floor are to be
found seven class rooms. All of
these rooms are fitted up with the
most modern conveniences, and the
building throughout is equipped
with the best possible heating, ventil-
ating and other necessary conven-
fences which go to make a complete
building.
Indeed, this is a long-felt want
supplied, and one which the citizens
should appreciate and be benefited
thereby.
1t is a duty every parent owes
to his children to educate them up
to the point whereby they can at
tain the privilege of going to this
school, and is also the duty of each
student to appreciate this opportuni-
ty and resolve to make good use of
their time.
So, to the young people of Cald-
we'll, allow me to say, take advan-
tage of this golden opportunity which
the School Board has given you.
Show your appreciation and graft
tude to your parents and those noble
citizens by studying, learning and
obedience,
And this is not all of the High
School. They are to have gym
nasium.
The wise and generous School
Board a few days ago awarded a
contract to Mr.. w. G. BaumgardneT,
the gentleman who on August 10
took the superintendency of con-
struction of the High school, and
who so skillfully managed it's com.
pletion to the entire satisfaction OF
all concerned. Be it said to Mr.
Baumgardner's credit, the manner in
which he completed the High School
leaves no doubt in the minds of the
public that the High School of Cald-
we'll will have a gymnasium second
to none in the State.
Mr.. Baumgardner has several
other large contracts on hand, one In
particular, the Ballantyne building
at the corner of Main sctreet and
Kimball avenue, which the skeptical
people are watching with great in,
terest. This building will be mas
terpiece of work, we are assured.
That Caldwell is making a steady
and rapid growth cannot be denied
for it speaks for itself.

Big Sergeant Wanted.

A Portsmouth detective. in the
employ Of the United States govern
ment, was here Tuesday looking for
T. Z. Jansen. the big Norwegian
sergeant in charge of the marines al
Camp Harrington for several years.
It is alleged that Jansen was ship
caterer, and owes that sum to his
mess. the detective said.
While here Sergeant Jansen made
many friends among the people he
met. He was a genial companion
and was a delightful entertainer.
He seemed to be a model young
man. stood well with the command
ing officer and was implicitly trust
ed. His friends here hope there is
some mistake. and that Sergeant
Jansen. when found, will be able tc
explain his absence and account foi
the alleged shortage. He has beer
missing two weeks, and the Offices
came here, thinking Jansen may
have come back here TO see a youns
lady with whom nc was deeply il
love some years ago.
Those who know Sergeant JanSsei
do not believe that there is an
foundation for suspicion against hin
and that be viii come out with
clean record.
