or both in town and in the country.
lie was formerly in the sheep bust
ness and is republican from Azzard
to Issard, as Col. Place saws. Mr.
Cupp is we'll known as one of our
really level headed men.
H. S. Williams seems to have been
the official photographer of the par
ty. Otherwise he is civil engineer
and has been engaged on many of the
government and Carey Act reclama-
ton projects in all parts of Idaho He
is quite familiar with the Twin Falls
projects and gave the party much
valuable information. At present
Mr.. Williams is city engineer as we'll
as chief engineer for number of big
irrigation projects.
Now comes E. H. Plowhead, cashier
of the Commercial bank of Caldwell
Let us drop the fact here that the
Commercial bank is the largest bank
in Idaho organized under the laws of
the state. Mr.. Plowhead now and
again promulgates ideas on municipal
government which do not meet with
the approval of Cooper ct al. As
banker he is of some consequence in
the world. He claims to have been
born in Idaho, which shows that he
exercised good judgment early in life.
w. S. Hawkes. also accomplished
the expedition. Mr.. Hawkes. came
all the way from Vermont to help
develop Idaho. For several years he
was minister of the gospel, and yet
breaches line now and again. He
is director Of the Black Canyon Irri-
CATION district, the greatest irrigation
project ever undertaken in the west.
Mr.. Hawkes. inspires great confidence
and respect. He is a man of charm
ing manner, great ability and shrewd,
sound sense.
The last member Of the caravan
was F. G. Burroughs, though he US
ually gets there in good time. Mr.
Burroughs is not much larger than a
short pint Of cider, but he is usually
up and doing most of the time He
was the publisher of the Caldwell
News for a number of years. AT
present he is the Idaho correspondent
of the Portland Oregonian, Salt Lake
Tribune and several eastern papers,
particularly the Washington Post
and the New York Tribune He is
understood to be slated for secretary
of the Caldwell commercial club You
can see that Burroughs is of some
size notwithstanding his averdupois.
Now there they are. They are all
there and you can size them up to
suit yourself We doubt that Col
Place ever picked better crowd in
all his born life, and as a picker Col.
Place is not to be overlooked. He
probably knows more about men, con-
necessities, life insurance and
many other things than any man in
Idaho. He certainly knows what
this section of Idaho needs and he
seems to have pretty good idea of
how to get that very thing.
The First Lap.
The Caldwell party boarded an In
terurban car Wednesday evening for
Boise. They were the guests of
Judge and Mrs. s. H. Hayes at the
theatre. After the theatre they pro-
ceeded to Twin Falls Now that lap
was a short one, but here comes the
diversion. If it wasn't for the diver
sions, the Tribune would land you at
Twin Falls several hours sooner. Di-
versions are our main stock in trade |
and we follow one to the end at every
They afford us infinite
relief Relief is what we are really |
in need of most of the time 1t was
about this way At about
the age of "a years, happy and unmar
ricd. |. b. Pcrrine was up on Wood |
river. One dark and lonesome day |
having nothing to do, he bctook him
self to the desert and in % hours To-
Gated homestead at Blue Lakes,
Now at present we have nothing to
do with Mr.. perine and will drop him
cold. The man We are after is S, II,
Hayes. II we could get to things
sooner we would be there quicker
All reliable newspapers drop In a fact
or two now and again, Judge Hayes
Is lawyer and a man of persuasive
eloquenee After Mr.. Perrlne looked
about his desert, much like Jacob did |
a few thousand years ago, and not hav-
Ing the Lord handy he bethought hiG'-
self OF Judge Hayes. He concluded
that the Judge was the very man to get
the honey out of the rock, and the oil
out Of the flinty rock. The thought
