NAMPA WANTS IN
ON Big RAILROAD
RAILROADS ARE COMING BUT
ALL MISS NANIPA AND SOME
THING MUST BE DID.
Nampa Record Threatens to Build a
Few Especially and Solely for
Nampa, as Caldwell and Boise
Don't Play Fair at This Game.

The Nampa Record in it's last issue
gently chides Caldwell, Boise and
other towns for not taking IN Nampa
on their various railroad schemes.
1t don't look just right to leave Nam
pa out all the time, especially when it
costs very little to include that thirty
ing city. THE TRIBUNE has built
one or two electric lines to Nampa
but that isn't sufficient. The next
time we build a grand trunk line we
will switch off a mile or two SO as
to include Nampa. In the issue re-
ferred to the Nampa paper says:
The Boise papers continue to build
railroads through the country, most
OF which are connected up with the
Hill roads leading east and west and
north and south. All the towns in
this part of the state wait for the
Boise papers to build the road their
way Occasionally the road is built
through Payette and sometimes that
busy little city is missed and Weiser
gets it. Emmett is often the object
i've point and young Middleton is per-
mitted to become elated occasionally.
The latest is by the way OF Caldwell
Caldwell is rather a favored point
because a good deal of friendship is
apparent between the Canyon county
capital and the state capital since the
recent commercial club amalgamation
between those two places. The papers
of the various towns wait patiently
for road to be built their way, fin
anced by the Boise papers, and then
they reprint the story with big head
lines and great ado.
Nampa has been waiting patiently
for them to build a railroad through
here SO that we might reprint the
story and do some boosting, but they
keep putting it off and we don't get
any railroad. Now If they do not
come through Nampa with one pref
ty soon the Record is going to finance
and build the SWEETEST line in the
country right straight across the state
and we will miss Boise, Middleton,
New Plymouth, Caldwell, Homedale,
Nyssa and every other old town that
has so persistently curried the favor
of the Boise papers to get all the rail
loads while Nampa gets none. For
the sake of common justice let US
have one through Nampa anyway.

BIG FRUIT CROP FOR PAYErTE.

According to the reports sent out
the middle western and southern
states have been swept by a cold
wave that has done a great deal of
damage to fruit, grain and even the
cotton crop. While the white man
tie of snow covered those states and
in one stroke no doubt destroyed
crops that would have produced mil
lions of dollars, the fruit growers OF
the Payette Valley were basking in
the rays of the warm sun and seem
secure from such devastation.
The fruit trees of the valley are
fairly bursting with fruit buds this
season and there is every prospect
that the fruit crop this year will be
the heaviest and of the finest quail
ity ever produced in this already
famous fruit section.
Other crops will be as abundant
and this should pc banner year
for this valley.-Payette Indepen-
dent.

testee as He Did Not Establish
Residence.
Friday the register and receiver of
the Boise Land Office, in the case of
Gertrude Kelley VS.. E. Summer Rog-
ers in which the contestant, Cert
rude Kelley, alleged that the con
testee, E. Sumner Rogers, had wholly
abandoned the tract in question, that
he had never established his resi-
dencedence on the land since making
entry, and that said tract has not been
settled upon and cultivated as re-
CURED by law found for the contes-
tant. The testimony in the case was
taken before the United States Com
missioner, Geo. w. Stovel, Caldwell,
Idaho, on February %, 1910.
The register and received in de-
Gliding the question stated that there
were two questions to be determined;
one whether this entryman estab-
lished and maintained legal residence
on this homestead prior to the mi
tiation of this contest, and the other
whether he cultivated and improved
the land as required by law prior to
the initiation of the contest.
I'VE cannot feel" stated thte de-
cision, that in view OF all the cir
cumstances of the case that the resi-
dence, even thought it amounted to
two weeks in the month of August,
entryman with credit for establishing
and maintaining a legal residence on
this homestead.
He seems to have considered the
building of the house on the tract in
March as the establishment of resi-
dence, and whatever residence he
did maintain in August seems to have
been for the purpose only of main
tanning a semblance of residence. In
the case now under consideration
nearly IA months had expired after
the making of the entry and prior to
the initiation of the contest. This
entryman, according to his own state
ment, did not actually live on the
land more than II or Is days dur
ing the entire period, while his i'm
provements were SO negligible, out
side of the building of his cabin, as
to be scarcely worth taking into con-
sideration.
I'VE hold the allegations of con-
test have been sustained, and that
the entry should be Cancelled"
Messrs. Smith & Scatterday of this
city were attorneys for contestant in
the case.

OWYHEE SHEEPMEN
ARE FEELING fine
CONDITIONS AMONG OWYHEE
SHEEP MEN ARE LOOKING
GOOD THIS YEAR,


Glass Wool Crop Is Anticipated,
Says George Lewis-Eastern Mar
kets are Looking up,
George Lewis was in Nampa this
week from Owyhee county. He has a
large band of sheep that have finished
the Landing season and have come
through with over a hundred per
cent of lambs. The sheep have been
moved to the lower mountains and
they are doing exceptionally we'll for
this season of the year. Shearing
will begin sometime between the 5th
and 18th of May. The prospects for
good wool crop are bright and the
price promises to be good. There is
a slight decline in the price over a
few weeks ago but the Illustration
does not promise any material differ
ence.
The Commercial bulletin of April
% has this to say regarding the Chi
cago wool markets.
Manufacturers are still keeping in
close touch with the market and only
comparatively small difference be-
tween buyer and seller prevents the
sale of the bulk of the holdings. For
staple wool Is to Is IL cents or 81
cents clean has been bid and rejected,
and sales of sample lots are now be-
ing made at 10 to 10 IL cents or
about IS cents secured 1t is expect
ed that movement of considerable
Importance will be registered within
week or ten days. Dealers contend
that good staple Oregon is worth fully
6S cents secured basis but manufac-
turers are not disposed to pay over IS
cents.

JUNCTION CITY
MAKES BALL PARK
NANIPA PREPARING GROUND FOR
AN ELABORATE PARK
NEAR FACTORY.
-Four Teams Started Wednesday on
the Work of Cleaning and Level
ing-Will be Ready for Game May
18th,

1t is the intention of those inter
ested in Nampa's new base ball park
to make it an ideal place and the
present plans are for elaborate
grounds.
The site is on the hill just east of
the sugar factory, on the Boise Valley
electric line. The land is considered
favorable in every respect and there
has been ample ground provided for
the purpose. The leveling will be
done and the ground will be seeded to
grass. A high board fence will be
built around it and nothing will be
left undone to make the place ideal
for the purpose for which it is to be
used.
Williams & butcher are now pre-
pairing plans for the new grand stand
and it is to be some class" so the
promoters say. Financial backing
has been assured so that there is
nothing in the way of success of the
venture.
According to the original schedule
the first game in the new park will
be with the Caldwell team. They
are listed to play in Nampa May Is

A rousing good roads smoker will
be held at the Commercial Club
rooms this evening. All the road ov-
erseers, as we'll as the county com
missoners, will be present to discuss
ways and means of securing good
country roads. This afternoon the
road officials will be taken out to
see Mr.. Sam Vassars road that a
practical idea may be gotten of what
a competent man can do under ordi-
nary conditions. Mr.. Vassar has
built a few miles of as good country
road as can be found anywhere. He
has had only common material to
work with and very little money.
With the material at hand he mixed
brains and energy with the result
that his district is pointed to with
pride all over the county. The idea
of the smoker is to arouse general
and point out the way of accomplish
ment. The idea of the smoker is Sec
rotary Kneedlers. 1t is to be hoped
that there will be good attendance
of road overseers at the meeting.
Governor Brady and Judge Sui
livan, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, have both agreed to be pres
ent at this smoker. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. McGready Skyes of Boise will
also be present to assist at the SOL
emnities.

tuesday morning the Engel livery
ana iced barn on kimball avenue
owned by A. A. Faris was burned TO
the ground causing a loss of fully
100000 covered in part by insur-
ance. The fire was discovered ABOUT
half past four in the morning but if
was nearly five o'clock before a fire
alarm was turned in. The men reach
ing the fire first busted themselves
In attempting to save the property
Owing to their efforts several head
OF horses were saved but all other
property was total loss. Five head
OF horses were burned to death and
two others badly burned. The cause
OF the fire is unknown. Mr.. Faris
is inclined to think it was accidently
started by hoboes. He says that
they have had considerable trouble
during the past few weeks by buns
wanting to sleep around the place.
Mr.. Faris and Ira Vassar were
sleeping in the Office and were awak-
ened by the fire. They started
to work rescuing the horses until the
heat forced them out. Tom Whitney
was sleeping in an adjoining build
ing used as a harness shop. He was
badly burned in getting out, as car
riages had been placed in front of
the door completely shutting him in.
He managed to crayl under some of
the rigs after forcing the door
Five head of horses and about 33
rigs, four of which were new, besides
all the harness, were burned. Faris
had just finished painting 16 of the
rigs
All of the livery stock was gotten
out and a team belonging to VIM.
Isaac, one of which was greatly
priced, was twice brought to the
door, only to break and run back into
the doomed building. The fire by
that time had gotten SO hot that all
attempts to save the five animals re-
naming in the barn had to be given
up. The horses burned were the team
belonging to VIM. Isaac, a team which
Harry Amsberry had just paid $500
for, and driver belonging to Pete
Engle,
Mr.. Engle's loss on building is
about $4,000, and he carried insur-
ance in the Northern Assurance Co.,

CAPITAL news
CAN'T TELL TRUTH
CONGRESSMAN HAMER is NOT IN
COMBINATION WITH O'NEIL.

says Capital News Always Lies About
Him and Would Pay No Attention
to it Ordinarily-theC Colonel Will
Stand on Record.
The Capital News has stated that
while B. F. O'Neil was in Washing
ton recently he and Congressman
Thomas X. Hamer entered into a po-
litical alliance, offensive and defen-
siye. The matter coming to Con
gresham Hamer's attention, he wrote
the Boise Statesman as follows:
Washington, April 2S.-Editor
Statesman, Boise, Idaho: l am ad-
vised that the Capital News published
last night under a Washington date
line a story to the effect that I have
formed political combination with
B. F. ONeil. Ordinarily l would
pay no attention to any statement
appearing in that paper, as it never
tells the truth about me and seldom
about anyone else. However, in view
of the fact that ONeil has recently
been in Washington, which might lead
those unaequainted with the reputa-
ton of the News to give some ere
dence to this particular story, l deem
it advisable to say that there is alb
solutely no truth in this statement,
and l will be glad if you deny the
same for me. I have formed no poll
teal combine either with Mr.. O'Neil
or any other candidate for office at
the coming primary in presenting
myself to the people of Idaho as a
candidate for denomination and re-
election to congress. l promise to
stand solely upon my own record and
that of my party, and any report of
political alliances made or comtem-
plated by me are without foundation.
