DEWEY ON BUSINESS SITUATION

money seeking investment must be
safeguarded. Theories voted into laws
must he practical science of govern
ment County option does not work out
as its advocates promised before the
election, and Nampa is undoubtedly
suffering severe contraction in bust

driving trade to Boise and other points
Personally, am for Nampa first

competition with Boise and other CON-
petitive cities and towns. If the pres

at the next election there will be plenty
of monev available for investment here

fair return will go to open towns.
"The Dewey Palace hotel run $4,000
behind the 1909 receipts last year and
the expenses were the same. If Can

be closed because of this deficit which
will increase rather than decrease. I

Statewide suppression of the traffic or

and If these propositions are impos-

Nampa and Canyon county and its re-
Storation to its former commercial
prosperity is up to the voters of Can

The foregoing is a statement made
by Hon. E. H. Dewey in the Nampa
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-01-27

Record. Mr.. Dewey is the leading bus
mess man of Nampa and undoubtedly
knows the conditions at Nampa. We
do not question the truth of Mr.. Dew
ey's statements but we doubt the con-
illusions he draws. Caldwell and
Mamma are two towns of practically
the same size and location. If cap
ital fights shy of Nampa it should do
the same thing with Caldwell. If the
absence of saloons has hurt business
at Nampa it should have hurt business
in Caldwell. Exactly the same cond1-
tons should obtain in the two towns.
The people of Caldwell are well
pleased with dry town and dry coun-
tv. Business has never been better
than It is today and capital is con-
stantly coming to this city for invest
ment. The people here are prosperous
and contented They are doing we'll.
We imagine that Mr.. Dewey has not
got down to bedrock in his investiga-
tion of business conditions at Nampa
or course the business of the hotel has
fallen off because there was formerly
a bar in connection with the place. The
closing of the bar injured the business
Of the hotel. But general business
conditions at Nampa were injured but
verv little, If at all, by closing the
saloons. Mr.. Dewey will have to go
deeper to find the real cause. Nampa
is too large; has too many business
places; for the country tributary to It.
In other words too many people are
irving to make a living out of the
productivity of too few people. For
instance Nampa is nearly as large as
Caldwell; perhaps has more individual
business houses; yet Caldwell has
three times as much land and i've
times as many people tributary to her
Business and capital are finding this
out greatly to the detriment of Nampa
and in equal measure to the benefit Of
Caldwell. The two towns are too close
together for the continued growth Of
both. AS Caldwell has the start, as
we'll as the location, she will get the
larger share of trade, and become the
real city of this section Of the state
Nampa will continue to grow for years
but she may as we'll abandon all hope
of ever becoming the metropolis of the
Boise valley. That position will be
occupied by Caldwell. Saloons will not
helm or hinder Nampa in the least.

MEETING OF THE
STOCKHOLDERS

Dear Sir: The officers and board of
directors of the Canyon County Fair
Association have been trying TO hold
the annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Canyon County Fair association
since the first Tuesday in January.
Notice of the meeting has been pub
lished in the paper and you have each
received card notices when such a
meeting would be held but as yet We
have not been able to have a quorum
present. In the past it has been the
custom of a few of the officers to OBJ
tain proxies as that seemed to be the
only way that we could get a ma
jority of the stock present. There are
over 900 shares of the stock of the as
ISOLATION and it takes two-thirds to be
able to hold a legal meeting, and the
present officers will not obtain proxies
more. The association has been sue
cess in the past and the stockholders
have a large investment there and
should have interest enough to come
out at least once In a year and hear
the officers reports and transact the
business that they are entitled to
transact. 1t is time that steps were
being taken to hold the next annual
fair, but we can assure you that moth
ing will be done in any way until the
stockholders come out and elect their
board and transact the business. II
Is up to you, If you want fair in 1911
you must attend this meeting. Besides
you had better be thinking who you
want for your board of directors.
This meeting will be held Friday
evening, Feb 3rd, at o'clock at the
Caldwell Commercial club.

Silver City Booming.

August Crete of Silver City was in
the city Wednesday for the. purpose of
meeting Mrs. Crete who will arrive to-
day on her return from a nextended
visit in southern California Mr.. Crete
was born in Silver City and has been
extensively engaged in mining and is in
terested in several promising proper
ties in that famous mining camp. He
has a large block of stock in the Ban
ner mine, where one of the richest
strikes of recent years was recently
made. Mr.. Crete has been working in
the mine and has magnificent speci-
men of white quartz about IL inches
in diameter thickly studded with gold.
He states that no person is permitted
in the tunnel where the strike was
made except the interested parties con
nected with the property. AS soon as
the snow disappears so that supplies
can be taken in the work of taking out
ore will commence.
The Banner mine was sold to the
present owners about five years ago,
when it was only prospect hole, for
100000 Today it could not be pur-
chased for half million and will
doubtless make the present stockhold-
ers wealthy. Mr.. Crete states that the
Never Sweat" mine located on War
Eagle mountain and owned by Louis
Sorenson has made wonderful rich
strike. Several other properties are
looking good. Silver City will soon
again be one of the busy camps of the
state.

The Salt Lake branch of the Stude-

engagements with Messrs Z. A. Clark
and H. R. Cleaver for store rooms in
this city Messrs Clark and Cleaver
will start work on building 50xl00
feet, at the corner of Ninth and Main
avenue, as soon as the weather will
permit.
The building will be of brick and
cement, modern and substantial. 1t
will have basement the full lenght of
the building and so constructed as to
permit of two or more stories being
added as occasion demands Accord

and have looked upon Caldwell with
favorable eyes, They have con-
stantly been encouraged in their de-
termination by Mayor Gowen. They
will open up offices Immediately in
the large warehouse that occupies the
rear of the lots and as soon as the
new building is completed will move
into it. Then the warehouse will be
removed and the building extended to

THE PICTURE OF THE Prophet.

We read in the Statesman that the
Democracy of Idaho is in great agta-
ton over the question of pictures in
the office of Governor James H. Haw-
ley During the years of Governor
Brady's administration the pictures of
President Taft and Vice President
Sherman hing on the walls of the
outer office of the governor. OF course
a simon-pure Democrat could not
think of permitting the pictures of
the President and Vice President of the
United States TO remain on the walls
That would not be true to the princi-
pies of the great Andrew Jackson, the
original spokesman Consequently the
offending pictures must be removed
Now the question is whose pictures
shall take their place The Democracy
has about decided upon Jefferson but
will not admit Bryan. We would sug-
gest that PATTERSON be eliminated too
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-01-27

The amount just received is $4459.3l
thus making difference of $664.44 in
favor of 1909. There are 100000
children in the state; Of that amount
Canyon county has 8640 as against
$500 in 1909, a difference of ll40 in
favor of 1910. If the increase in the
children continues, and it is fair to
assume that it will, the apportionment
for next year will be decreased and
finally entirely eliminated.

Women and the Chapter HOase.

The women of Caldwell are attempt
ing to secure club house for the city.
It seems that we'll known publishing
house of st. Louis has devised a
scheme whereby club, or chapter
houses, may be secured on an easy
payment, profit-sharing plan. OF
course the publishing house will not
lose money by the operation. Nobody
wishes them to be out of pocket. The
proposition looks like good thing for
the ladies of Caldwell provided they
have any use for charter house. they
think they can use such on institution
to very good advantage We trust taat
they will get the house.
The house they want will cost $500
to build. To secure this house they
must get 200 members to the Ameri-
can Women's League. Each member
ship costs $500 payable in twelve
monthly instruments of four dollars
each. For the $10,400 thus invested
the members get magazines to the val
ne of $10,400 If they want them and
any quantity of correspondence school
courses. Ten per cent Of the receipts
from memberships go to paying for the
house and twenty-five per cent fol-
maintenance OF the house. The pub
fishing company very likely figures or
making its profits by virtue of the
fact that nobody will want $4,000 worth
of their magazines and very few people
want correspondence courses. How,
ever that is a matter for each indiyid-
ual member to settle for himself. In
the meantime the women want the clut
house and it is right and proper they
should have it.

CITY SHOULD DISTRIBUTE THE
WATER,

]. Jester, Jr., secretary of the Pho
neer Irrigation purposes within the
city limits. Mr.. Jester has given the
subject considerable thought and is
firmly convinced that if the district
should deliver the water at the city
limits or at some convenient point
within the limits; and the city should
take care of its distribution that the
water users would get their water
cheaper; the conflict of authorities
would be eliminated; and it would be
better all around. He thinks the water
should be handled by some one acting
directly under the superintendent OF
streets. AS 1t now is the district water
master and the street commissioner are
working at cross purposes great deal
of the time. The cost of water to the
user is slips per lot, which could be
greatly reduced in the opinion of Mr.
Jester.
There is no question but that the city
authorities could handle the distribu-
ton of the irigating water within the
city cheaper than the district can. II
would be better to have the irrigation
laterals under the management of g
city officer. We commend the sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Jester to the city ad-
ministration. The present arrange
ment is not entirely satisfactory from
any standpoint.

THE CANYON COUNTY FAIR.

THE CANYON COUNIh RAIN
One of those enterprises which al
wavs reflect credit upon the commun-
ity in which it is born; secures beneflts
for those for whom it is intended; ana
advances the interest and welfare OF
all concerned, is the county, agrlcul-
tural fairs of the county. In this re-
spect Canyon County stands pre-
eminent in the northwest 1t sur
passes all other counties and is equaled
by only one state organization. Such
is the verdict of such eminent author
tiles as Prof. H. T. French of the Uni
versity of Idaho, the editor OF the Rural
Spirit, and others connected with the
leading agricultural journals OF the
northwest. The history of the Canyon
County Fair association is one of
which the citizens of Canyon county
NAV well be proud. 1t has advanced
step by step. Each year has shown
advancement and improvement. Those
in charge of the organization accredlt
this to the fact that the Canyon county
fair has always been strictly devoted
to the interests of agriculture, horticul-
ture and the livestock industries.
In 1900 a handful of men conceived
| the idea of organizing county fair
association. With the energy, peculiar
| to the people of Canyon county the
| idea was taken up at once. In the fall
of that year the first Canyon County
fair was held at Caldwell. The exhibits
of those engaged in agriculture and
horticulture were small but good. The
| livestock exhibit was that simply from
the range and farm. The fair could be
said to be successful only in that il
showed future possibilities. The mex
few years showed continued improve
ment and advancement. The exhibits
were larger and better. In 1907 the
enterprise had reached such stage il
its growth, that larger and better
| grounds and facilities had to be pro
vided. Forty acres of land were pur
chased; new buildings were erected
and a new speed course constructed
The total outlay in improvements wa!
5000. 900. Last years fair was such ;
success that early in the season of thu
year the demands for space and stalls
were such that more buildings had tt
be erected In 1908 a new art hal
costing $500 and Is new stalls wer,
constructed. Last year Merchant
hall was constructed at cost o
$1,000 and ten new stalls costing $500
The premiums awarded the first yea
amounted to $500. This year they will
exceed $4,000, with special premium
and awards aggregating $500. Thi
proves the growth Of the fair; the in
terest of the people; and the advance
ment of the country Owing to TIL
activity of the fair in arousing good
natured rivalry Canyon County is on
of the best livestock counties in tn
United States. Friendly competition
has raised the standards of our hay
grains, fruits, vegetables and livestock
This in brief is history of the Canyon
County Fair association.

WOODEN BRIDGE TO GO

The longest modern railroad bridge
in the world is to pass into history. A
contract has just been authorized BY
President John F. Stevens of the spO-
kane, Portland G Seattle railway to iii
Sprague gulch where it is crossed BY
the North. Bank line, about 40 miles
west of Spokane, at cost of 100000
H. A. McDougal, railroad contractor
of Milwaukee, who has done consider.
able work for the North Bank, will
have the contract.
Material for the fill will be obtained
from adjoining ground, the railroad
company having purchased tract Of
100 acres for that purpose. Steam ShOy-
els will scoop the material into cars to
be run on spurs to the gulch and
dumped there. An idea Of the magnl-
tude of the undertaking may be formed
from the statement that it will take
at least two years, and possibly two
and half, to complete the job.
Sprague Gulch is a very long and
deep ravine, but carries compare
lively little water The volume
that odes flow through it viii
be provided for by an arch culvert Of
concrete so that there will be no dan
ger of damage to the fill by floods or
freshets.
The bridge is 5000 feet or nearly
mile in length and varies in height
from 40 to 80 feet. 1t Is estimated that
1t will take 100000 yards of earth to
make the fill.
This large project is in line with the
policy of President Stevens to fill In
all wooden bridges on the North Bank
road, and within the next two or three
years the entire main line between
Portland and Spokane will be sold
ground, excepting where steel bridges
have already been built.
A few days ago President Stevens le'
the contract in Portland for the COZ
struction OF a suction dredge to Do
used in making fills where the roaa
parallels the Columbia river, the
dredge to cost about $4,000.
The main contract for the dredgs
was given to Joseph Supple, ship
builder Contracts for machinery sd
equipment were also let to Portna
firms SO that the dredge will be al@
gether Portland product. Those
share in building 1t are Joseph SuppM
the Willamette Iron & Steel COMPANY
Charles c. Moore, the Portland MANU-
featuring company and the Portlan0

President Stevens said this mornlns
1t was his purpose to place ell con-
tracts with home people whenever 'hi'
could be done, so that practically even
cent expended in construction OF NV

guidance will be spent In this or nesn-
