IRAIGATION PALACE
IS MUCHLY NEEDED
THE IRRIGATION PROJECTS
GREATLY IN NEED OF
OFFICE ROOM

Four Enterprises Should Join To-
gether in Erecting a Palace of Ir- !
rigaticn in the Center of Centers of
the Universe-The Cost Would Be
Small
According to the reckon ing oil Mrs.
Sanderson here is the center OF inhn-
ity and now is the conhux of eterni
ties-two OF them. She had parti-
cular reference to Caldwell As a
center ard co.flux Caldwell is no
small potatoes. In fact, it is the cen
ter OF centers 1t is the hub OF about
everything this lar west. Every
point in the radius is equidis
tant from this cente-. rs i j. from all
other centers. 1t is haru I" ge,
around that proposition. |, Editor
Cormac J. Shorb would say. Having
laid down our premises, we will pro
coed to liquidate.
To particularize. Ca dwell j. the
center OF all things. 1t is the center
Of a vast area OF the richest soil on
earth. 1t is the center OF the finest
climate in the world All climates. in
fact. radate from this point. Ecce
signum: We have all the weathers
there are. Neither the chilling blasts
| from Greenland's icy mountains nor
the harmattans from Sahara's bis
terng sands are unknown to us. And
we have everything between the two
and sometimes all in day. As a light
ming sleight of hand performer with
the weather there are few places hav-
ing the edge on Caldwell. But back to
the center, ere we get beyond G
depth. Parenthetically we might say
that the most grevious fault with the
Tribune is a prediction to wander
from our text We seldom know
whence we came nor whittier we
are going We are very much like
the wandering Jew, a sporting char
acter with whom you have probably
met up, as he has been periginating
around for quite little while Every
fifty years he winds UP at Jerusalem
and about every three columns we get
back to the subject matter.
In addition to the soil and climate
Caldwell is the center of the fruit
growing dairying, Bookkeeping, sheer
and alfalfa producing industries. 1t is
also the financial, educational and po
litical center of Idaho. In particular
it is the center of several great irri
