You may say what you pleasei you
may think what you please; and, you
may do what you please, but cold facts
will still remain cold facts. No one
has ever made anything out of a cold
fact, except a cold fact. You can
convert a cold roast into hot stew,
a cold bottle into a beautiful jag, but
garnished with the metaphors and by
perbales of the liveliest fancy, a cold
fact is still a cold fact. There are
many cold facts, but the fact that is
coolest and the cold that is factest is
that Hon. Paul Clagstone of Clag-
stone, Bonner county, Idaho, Speaker
of the House of Representatives of
the Idaho legislature; candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor, is a farmer and takes things
seriously. All farmers do. Somehow
it seems to be in the hay. But as afore-
said, Hon. Paul is a farmer, and is
very serious about it. He is also very
serious about that Republican nomina-
ton. To get back to facts, there is
nothing frivolous, flimsy or trivial
about Hon. Paul Clagstone. But he is
not hypercritically mournful, pain
fully sedate, or lachrymosely meian-
choly. He is serious, but he is MILL
fluously serious. There is no jar,
rough side or ragged edge about him.
He looks at things seriously, but is
not oppressively serious. If you can't
differentiate there you should inter-
veiw him. He is intensely but melli-
fluously in earnest. That's it. We
knew all the time we'd get the proper
expression out or bust our
waistband. He is intensely but
mellflously in earnest. That suits
Hon. Paul to long and happy fare
you-well, Mr.. ClagstonO came to Ida.

Clagstone and liking the place SettleG

CLUB EMPLOYS
new SECRETARY

The Caldwell Commercial Club
closed a contract with Mr.. H. S. Knee
Ter, Wednesday. The Club employed
Mr.. Kneeler as secretary and publicity
agent for Caldwell at salary of
100000 per year. Some three or
four weeks ago Messrs. J. H. Lowell
and B. M. Holt were appointed a COM
mittee of two to employ secretary.
They made thorough investigation
of all the available men and decided
that Mr.. Kneeler was the most salts
factory man to be had. His recon-
mendations are the best. Mr.. Tom
Richardson personally recommended
him to Caldwell. He will enter upon
duties March LIST.
Mr.. Kneeler left Wednesday for
Los Angeles to move his family to
Caldwell. Mrs. Kneeler and children
will arrive in Caldwell about Febru-
airy 25th. 1t is the intention of MI
Kneeler to buy property and erect a
house in this city this summer. He
expects to become permanently identi-
fed with Caldwell.

METHODISTS Will SOON START TO WORK

when the building is completed Cald-
well will have an institution which will
be a credit to it's citizenship. 1t will
be one of the largest and finest
churches in the state. The young
mems club room and swimming pool
will be a great blessing to the city.
The basement will provide an audi
torium which will be able to ac-
commodate comfortably a thousand
people, and as that part of the struc-
ture will not be dedicated, it will be
used for public meetings and popular
gatherings. This will fill a much
needed want and will be something
which will give qualification to all
our citizens. The church will be one
of Caldwell's greatest and best as
sets. May all our citizens speed the
good work, and may the pastor and
his officials in their canvass for funds
meet with a hearty, encouraging and
prompt response on the part of every
body. The officials have $10,000.00 in
sight now and the prospect grows
brighter every day.

ging Caldwell both bigger and better.
The sentiment seemed to meet the
hearty approval of all. In fact such
sentiments were exactly what the club
was after and Rev. Springer made a
ten strike.
Prof. H. T. French was called upon
to explain how Caldwell might be
made bigger. He called attention to
the size, dimensions, topography and
geology of Idaho. His address was
listened to with close attention. Prof.
French was followed by Mr.. V. D.
Hannah who told about the pioneers,
Jonathan apples and future prospects.
Mr.. Hannah always makes an inter
esting talk and he did not fail on this
occasion. He in turn was followed by
Mr.. Kneedler who said that man
full of enthusiasm and Jonathan APP
pies was hard to beat. He was con
fident Caldwell and Idaho had 9
great future. Mr.. Kneedler made 9
very interesting address and helped
swell the enthusiasm. The enthus
iasm was further increased by a few
remarks from Col E. R. Place wh'
noted that things were commencing
to move. The Colonel said that HI
would fight it out on that line if i
took all summer. Col. Place likes t
see things move, and is something of ;
mover himself. He was followed b,
DR.. G. L. Powell who made an in
teresting and forceful address. Dl
Powell makes it his business to boos
and enthuse people, and he is sue
cess at the business.
J A luncheon was served after tn
meeting.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-02-11

The trustees of the Methodist
church met on Monday night last in
DR.. Powell's study and transacted
much important business. 1t was de-
cided to sell the old building as soon
as possible. In fact, it has been al
ready spoken for and the probability
is that the sale will go through. A
committee for that purpose was APP
pointed and authorized to take steps
to complete the matter. If the old
church is disposed of, it will necessi-
tate the erection of temporary taber-
nacle on the vacant lots in the rear,
which will serve the purpose as a
place of worship and Sunday School
room until the basement of the new
edifce is ready.
Several teams are at work hauling
sand and gravel and as soon as con-
ditions permit work will be commenced
on the basement. 1t has been de-
cided to put on some carpenters forth
with getting ready the window and
door frames for the basement.
1t is conceded on every hand that

SUCCESSFUL SMOKER
PULLED OFF MONDAY LAST

Enthusiasm may have originated
elsewhere, but it has taken up perman-
cnt quarters in Caldwell. Every day
something happens to arouse the peo-
pie. The beauty OF it is that it is
something real, and tangible that oc-
ours. The people do not recover from
one surprise before another is await
ing them. Tom Richardson drops in
to town and pulls off a little exhibi-
ton OF what a man can do, and &c
hours thereafter an organized effort
is no foot to keep the ball a rolling
Its like a revival meeting, the longer
it lasts the more fervid become the
people. The Club smoker Monday
night was a genuine success. Every
body just oozed enthusiasm. 1t was
dropping from every pore. The ardor
glowed to such point that 25 men
could no longer resist and joined the
club; $1,50000 was given the North
Siders for their irrigation enterprise; ;
a three thousand dollar a year secre-
tary was engaged and many other
things were done.
Nearly 200 Caldwell citizens CON

HEPBURN READY
FOR The FRACAS

Judge Edwin McBee of Occur d.
Alene Monday received a letter from
Senator w. B. Hepburn relative to
the recent decision of the Idaho SUI
preme court in the Marble creek cases,
in which the court held that the state
could not legally release it's rights
to sections 16 and 36 granted in the
admission bill for school purposes by
the United States. Senator Hey
burn is in full accord with the su-
preme court decision and supports the
settlers in their contentious relative
to these lands. Attorney McBee left
tonight for Boise to consult with the
state land board relative 10 the an
swer which must be filed by February
IL. This phase Of the decision only
applies to these lands the state at
tempted to select in lieu of sections
16 and 36 in tho Bitter Root forest
reserve and in the Occur dAlene In
dian reservation.
SENATOR HEYBURN'S LETTER.
Tho letter from Senator Hepburn
follows in part: 81 am rejoieed at
the decision of the supreme court on
the question of our school lands,
have no doubt that the grant attached
to the sixteens and thirty-siXes when
the admission bill was signed was to
the sixteens and thirty-sixes both sur
veyed and unsurveyed, Tho govern
ment can make no transfer from one
man 10 another of these lands. II can
etfectuato no surrenders or changes
without the consent of the state land
board. If Idaho does not get in now
under this decision and take posses
sloon of its school sections in or out OF
the forest reserve or any other re
serves where the title to them re,
manned in the state, il does less than
its duty. If it does not lease these
lands and collect the rents, it does les.
than its duty. Idaho can sell timber
from them and the fact that it is in s
forest reserve under the decision
makes no difference.

President Holt. He Immediately
started the flow of enthusiasm by a
hearty forceful address.
He then called upon the rural route
committee for it's report. Messrs E..
A. Clark and Walter Griffiths report
ed progress in the work and were in
structed to keep up the good work. In
the matter of the Greenleaf road, it
was decided that every member of
the club should appear before the
county Commissioners in behalf of
the road. This was done Tuesday and
tbs road was granted.
Engineer E. E. Hedden appeared
with several others, in behalf of the
Black Canyon Irrigation District. Mr.
Hedden had no trouble in showing
the club that Caldwell should loan
tbs district $1500.0O. The estimates
of Mr.. Hedden show that the reclama
ton of this tract will cost $63.5O pei
acre and that 100000 is needed t.
complete the preliminary work. Rev
w. S. Hawkes. appeared also in sup
