from Idaho. From the city of Cald-
well came advices yesterday that
mounted courers had been dispatched
into the ruarl district in the face of a

Caldwell for San Francisco that it was
urged that the city go forward with the
exposition plans even if congress
Should withhold official recognition"
The comments are followed by the
telegram referred to in the Examiner
of the same date.
The Chronicle of San Francisco had
the following special from this city,
dated January "a:

and committees were appointed with
instructions to secure the signatures
of every property owner in the county.

rail communication, and the short time
in which the committee had to secure
them, the magnitude of the accom-
plishment became apparent. In many
cases it was necessary to send couriers
on horseback, with orders to report
back to the committee not later than
