The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-01-27


Structure in Idaho to be Located on
Arthur Street-PrOminent Men are
Backing the Enterprise co. all ii il
Worth.
Speaking of men and accomplish
ment there is happy combination in
Caldwell, consisting in the main of
Walter Griffiths, D. G., Ruby, c. H.
Turner and Edgar Kimbrough, all
Democrats, with such trimmings as
Screw HURT says, as the exegencies of
this occasion require. We do not know
who the exigencies are and for the
present purpose it make little differ
ence. The point is that the combina-
ton exists and as consequence things
will be doing in the spring These
gentlemen, having looked into con-
ditions, decided sometime ago to erect
a modern, our-story business block in
Caldwell The building will be 75x120
feet, located on Arthur street where
that thoroughfare intersects Tenth
avenue, or wise versa as you prefer. 1t
will be four stories and basement and
will cost 100000. The ground floors
will be used for store purposes and the
second, third and fourth floors will
necessarily be used for other purposes.
It will be one of the largest, finest and
most handsome structures in the state,
The men behind the building say that
the have raised the money and there is
no question but that the building will
be erected.
We have now given our readers the
facts in the case and a little play of
fancy is not inappropriate. From a
four story building to the extension of
the Caldwell Boise electric railway
may seem long step but we learned
the art of quick change of subject by
listening to the dissertations of Hon.
Bayard Francis Templeton. The Hon.
Bayard Francis can start on haciendas
and senoritas, drift to bareback and
wind up on fiat money. He don't ex-
haust his subject at one sitting, which
by the way, is very good idea, as you
may wish to revert to the subject at a
future date. Besides variety is the
spice of life. But we were going to re-
mark, when interrupted by Mr.. Tenn
pleton, that the Caldwell-Boise electric
railway is going to extend itself or be
extended by somebody else to Roswell
The road will go up Main street as at
present toward but not to Swain
Beaty's hen house. Stopping at Tenth
avenue 1t will turn to the left and head
for far-famed Lake Howard which it
will reach, pass and leave behind 1t in
due time; thence the road will go on
to Roswell via Jimmie Higgins and
such other places as may be on the
trail We do not mean to follow the
meanderings of the road to Roswell. II
will pass in front of or alongside of the
big building, depending in large
measure whether the building faces
| Arthur or Tenth avenue Across the
| street from the combination building
the electric line company will build
three story depot This building will
be much larger and handsomer by far
than the new building recently com
pleted in Boise. As Caldwell is to b'
the hub of the system the main offices
will be located here necesitaing large
and handsome office building. On this
basis 1t is calculated that Arthur stree
In the vicinity of Tenth avenue will
soon become hive of industry to use
metaphor invented and copyrighte'
by Brigham Young or somebody else
The construction of the Caldwell-Lan
dore line will be considered also TIL
promoters of this line, built entirel
and exclusively by the Capital News
have purchased terminal grounds o.
Tenth avenue near Arthur street,
may be that big union depot will b
erected. We hardly look for thi
though 1t is not improbable. This lin
will take direct shoot for Lander
via Hip All Longs vegetable gardens
The builders of the building on Al
thur street are we'll known local cap
talists. They are all Democrats, hu
aside from that, are considered Law
abiding citizens. We have great fait
In them. We believe them implicitil
at all seasons, campaigns years {
course excepted. When they assure L
that the building will be built we b'
lieve them. and when they say the built
