~SNODDY" IN IDAHO.
Almost Everybody In Caldwell Il
Having BIRTHDAYS.

Express: It is Just four months since
T landed in Caldwell. I am not sure
that you get next to all that is going
ON here that former Knoxville people
are interested in, so am going to tell
70 VA few things You see there are
things happen that might in terest
people there.
One thing concerns a man that used
to stand pretty high in Knoxville busi-
ness and social circles. He would
probably still stand just as high II 1t
wasn't for one thing-he left Knoxville.
He came here three years ago and
started q tailor shop, and now the poor
fellow is pretty nearly swamped with
work. Oh, we'll. might as well tell
you II Is no des a parsonage than Judge
Meranda. But the Judge was unfor-
tunate along shout the first of Febru-
ary. He had birthday anniversary,
and want to tell you the way his wife
Along sometime in the afternoon she
got word to few of his former Knox
Vile friends who now live in Caldwell
and then fixed the dining room all up
with flowers and dainty things to eat
and when the judge came home at .
D. m. it was worth the money to see his
face. He looked like he had made
mistake and got in the wrong house.
Here Is the assortment of grinnang
faces that greeted him: Mr.. and Mrs
Gerritt can Wyangarden and daughter
Elsie Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Crookham,
Misses Josephine Steunenberg. Jennie
Neranda and Edna Meranda, and
Messrs. John and Will Steunenberg,
Floyd Southwark, Clint Brann and L.
B. Snodgrass. Is It any wonder the
Judge looked like 80 cents without the
8? Caldwell hospitality relgned su
preme, and the Merandas are acknowl-
edged royal entertainers. BY the way,
Caldwell never takes back seat for
anybody when it come to entertaining.
Just keep that for ready reference.
Well, that isn't all-Mrs. Meranda
was foolish enough to have borthday
about a week later and the way the
Judge got even was beautiful to see.
He ordered q beautiful life-size bust
crayon portrait Of Mrs. NJ. from Mr.
snodgrass, the photographer, and the
schemins that was gone through with
to set the frame out of the house and
up to the gallery would have done
credit to General Grant or LATE Young
The picture was hung, and the first
thing Mrs NJ saw when she appeared
on the morning of her birthday was
that picture. Guess she was some
surprised.
Caldwell never starts anything that
abe don't finish. Clint Brann had
birthday and kept 1t to himself till
after it happened. and the he got fin
ished.
The first Monday of each month Is
Traders day It would do you good to
see the crowds. It looks something
like the crowds at are 4th of July
celebration or an Old Home Week at
Knoxville And It happens twelve times
year. MARCIA was an extra big one
so Mr.. Kneedler, secretary Of the Cald-
we'll Commercial club, telephoned post
haste to the Snodgrass Picture shop to
get a picture Of that crowd. AS it was
a hurry job the pictures were out next
morning. Everything goes in a hurry
In Idaho, especially in Caldwell. That
Is only a sample OF no wfast everything
Is done here.
Floyd Southwark is another Knox
Vile boy that Is making good here.
He is head clerk in Baker & Harris /
big srocery store, and I guess by the
They think he is about the best clerk
west Of the Rocky mountains.
10 sum It ali up: Idaho is peopled
by the hustlers from the east; Idaho Is
mighty good state, and Caldwell is
the best town in the state. There are
other towns, but they can't quite come
up to this town. am getting to like
the place better all the time
ALI Knoxville people here are getting
on fine and glad they are here.
The weather lie fine now. Seems like
Nay instead OF March. But the wealth
or, like everything else, is the best
that can be had have had fine health
and fine business sincs came here.
A hustler can make good here but
drone would starvs to DEATH, There Ia
no room for dronsA IN Idaho.
Yours very truly,
