HIGH TIDES AND CURRENTS.

The Potomac river above Great Falls
threatens to do great damage to prop
erty along its banks as a result OF
the recent heavy rains. At 6 O'Clock
last evening it was several feet above
its usual level and had overaowed
corn and other crops at many places.
The river, it is expected, will continue
to rise for "a hours.
The rise came suddenly. At Great
Falls the water started rushing over
the rocks with roar that could be
heard for miles. Great quantities OF
driftwood, trees, logs, and several dead
cattle passed over the falls in a few
minutes. Later a rowboat went over.
Forty Foot Rock is completely COW
cred. All of the small streams which
flow into the river were raging torrents
last night.
The river had not been so high in
ten years.
The river is unusually high along
the Georgetown and Washington front,
but no damage has been done.Es
Abnormally high tides have made

damage has resulted. A strong current
in the river is still carrying bushes.

Thrice defeated, William Jennings
Bryan sat on small table in his room
at the Fort Pitt Hotel, Pittsburg, yes
terday and in reply to direct cues
ton declared in effect that he had no
designs on Taft's job.
Then Bryan put this question to
himself:
What will the democratic platform
be2''
To this he also gave the answer:
It is too early yet to guess with
any accuracy, because platform states
the issues upon which the fight is to
be fought and we are to have another
session of Congress whose actions may
effect those issues"
Mr.. Bryan was asked:
What have you to say about the
complaint OF the money interests that
the present government Investigations
are running the country's chances OF
business recovery"
This is the answer: If there is
such complaint it is confession that
there is crookedness which should be
investigated. An investigation can do
no harm unless something. wrong is
found. Honest business does not fear
the light. Ifthere is a complaint from
the business interests it looks as if
they have been keeping fashionable
hours'-they had better adopt the day

Who will be the democratic can
dldate for the presidency"
That is impossible to say, as the
issues have not been decided. Candi-
dates, to be right, must fit the plat
form. I am interested in getting
opinions as to the availability OF can
didates. I want to see the strongest
man nominated"
What do you mean by STRONGEST"
The man who can poll the most
votes. He could net do this unless
the people believed be would make
satisfactory president.
Bryan thinks reciprocity with Canada
will be a good thing and the Govern
ment Tariff Board fraud.

the American enthusiasts.
1t was a current opinion among
followers of the trials today that the
winning Yesterday or losing of the in
ternational races next week will mainly
be up to the Dixie Nv, the only boat
which, has yet qualified as a cup de-
fender.
None of the four boats brought out
yesterday made satisfactory showing.
The Sand Burr II, 90 tooter, entered
by A. K. and c. W. White, of the
Motorboat Club of America, won to-
davis race over the 30-knot course.
She finished full 2 miles ahead of
the Viva, 32-foot hydroplane recently
built by Rear Commodore j. Stuart
Blacktou especially for these races.
The Vita II, new boat OF which a
speed of 50 miles an hour has been
expected, had engine troubles, aud
was unable to start. The Disturber
II, entered by James E. Pugh, OF
Chicago, withdrew after covering 100
yards because the gear of her starboard
engine broke.
The winners elapsed time was l:OS,
an average of 1915 knots an hour, and
the WAS was 1:1S, or % knots an
hour, compared with the 1886 knots
made by the Dixie w, in northeast

Another elimination race will be held
TODAY.

Seven Months of Artificial
Light in the Home

Sight is one of the most precious
possessions of men, women and chill
dren.
During seven months of the year
most OF the close application of eye
sight IN your home is by artificial light.
Is the artificial light in your home
good or bad?
Before the long evenings come when
the family gathers near the light-look
into the matter carefully.
Electric light is the best light in the
home. 1t is economical and it is far
more con Ye2ient than any other form
of lightin K.
Insurance companies rank electric
light the safest.

matrimony by the minister, the Rev.
George w. McCombe.
Mr.. Gilmore is the popular cashier
of the Bank OF Midvale and the
bride is the daughter of DR.. Cyrus
Williams of Payette. Both are ex-
ceedingly popular in church and So
ciety circles and will prove helpful
addition to Midvale circles.
Amidst the congratulations of a
large circle of friends, the young
couple started for a short honey
moon, after which they will be at

FAMILY ACTUALLY
in NEED OF FOOD
FAMILY IN HUNGER A FEW
MILES FROM CALDWELL
NO HELP IN SIGHT.
Peter Eagan of Sunny Slope Needs
Help and Something Should be
Done-Children are Crying for
Broadcast Winter Family Near
ly Starved to Death.

T. NJ. Conroy of Sunny Slope was
in Caldwell Wednesday last. Mr..
Conroy states that crop prospects
and conditions at Sunny Slope and
other settlements in his vicinity were
excellent. He stated that while gen.
eral conditions were good a very
sad state of affairs existed in one
particular family. 1t is the family
of Peter Eagan who lives about sew
en- miles from Mr.. Conroy. The
family consists of a father between
sixty and seventy years of age and
four children-three girls and one
boy. The father has reached that
state where he can no longer make
a living. About all he can do is to
hobble around. The three girls are
very bright children, but the boy is
subject to epilepsy. They are try
ing to hold down a homestead while
starving to death. They are living
in a close, ill-ventilated one-room
shack. They are practically devoid
of clothes and have but little food
Mr.. Conroy thinks that perhaps some
charitably disposed society or
church might feel inclined to help
them as the children are growing up
in ignorance, misery and want.
We might say that last January
it was stated that the family was
dying of starvation. This informa-
ton reached the ears of Mr.. Con-
roy and he Immediately started to
alleviate the situation. He gathered
together some $500 which was
spent for food and clothing. After
wards the good people of Deer Flat
raised money to help the family. II
these poor homesteaders can help
such people surely the Christian
people of Caldwell and Nampa can
and will help them. Rich, populous
Canyon county might lend helping
hand, but economy is the order here
and it were better that a hundred
die than Canyon move a step.
The Tribune sincerely hopes that
some step will be taken to help this
poor family We understand that
Mr.. Conroy is a substantial man in
his neighborhood and that he would
not exaggerate. He seemed to us to
be a man of common sense, sound
ideas and great charities.

new BUILDINGS
Will Be ERECTED
COUNTY FAIR DIRECTORS HELD
IMPORTANT MEETING IN
CALDWELL MONDAY.
new Buildings will be Erected for
the Coming Patchwork of Prem
aration will go Forth Steadily
from Now On-Directors are Hope
ful for the Event.

A meeting of the Canyon County
Fair Directors was held Monday af-
ternoon at the Commercial Club.
Matters of great Importance were
presented and acted upon. 1t was
decided that a new cattle barn 3Ox
100 feet should be erected and also
judging corraf made. These i'm
provements will not be very expen-
sive as the Association has on hand
practically all the material needed.
They will add greatly to the accom-
modations and facilities of the
grounds.
1t was also decided that the Asso-
citation rent room for cold storage
in Caldwell. Anyone having perish
able articles for exhibition can have
them put in cold storage at no ex-
pense. Any such persons are re-
quested to notify President French
and he will take care of the exhibits
until fair time.
M. E. A. Clark stated that he
would be unable to attend to the de-
tail work devolving upon the secre-
tary during the months of August,
September and October and asked
to be relieved of such work. 1t
was finally agreed that Prof. French
be employed to do this work.
The directors were all very en-
thusiastic over the outlook. They
anticipate the greatest agricultural
fair this fall in the history of the
organization. Crops of all kinds are
far above the average. The people
throughout the county are interested
and in many cases enthusiastic. Mr..
Carnage, who was over from Emmett
said:
Emmett will be on hand bigger
and stronger than last year. We
really should have more space in the
agricultural hall. We will need it
and can fill it."
The demands for space are so
heavy that Emmett was given the
allotment of space and in the same
place as last year. Mr.. V. D. Han
nah would like about 40 yards more
space too, but he was held down to
reasonable. bounds. Other commu-
mites are making their demands
daily.
A special feature of the fair will
be the community displays from the
settlements on the government rec
.lamation projects. The directors
realized that the settlements would
make good displays, but would be
outclassed by such towns as Ros-
well, Parma, Middleton and others
In consequence the real estate men
of Caldwell have put up $500 for
the government settlement pre-
miums. OF the amount $4,000 is
first and $4,000 is the second prize.
Lively competition is expected.
