TFT7RIC lines Will BE
R|I|LT OUT Of CALDWELL

lure. III the proposition Is reas-
enable, the line will be built with
out fail. because the people of Cald-
well, Roswell and intermediate
points stand ready to do their parts.
AS stated above, the rapid improve
ment in eastern financial centers
augurs well for the achievements of
this extension this year.
The Nampa Extension.
AS stated in our last issue, the
people Of Caldwell, Nampa and along
the line are greatly interested in an
electric railway between the two
points. There are two propositions
in view. Mr.. w. R. Sebree is pre-
pared to build this line provided the
people will furnish the right of way
and subscribe for bonds of the en-
terprise to the amount of $4,000.
Meetings of Caldwell and Nampa
business men have been held and it
has developed that the people are
inclined to look with favor on Mr..
Sebree's proposition. The farmers
along the line are greatly interested
and will not fail of doing their
share. On another page will be
found an account Of the latest meet
ing held at Midway.
The B. & l. long ago announced
its intention of extending to Nampa.
The activity of the Sebree interests
has again awakened the Pierce peo-
pie and they may build to Nampa
this summer. 1t is certain that one
or the other line will be built and
1t is more than likely that both ex-
tensions will be made. Events are
moving with almost startling ra
pidity. Within the next thirty days
the people will know exactly what is
going to happen.
If Sebree should build along the
Boulevard to Nampa, he would un-
doubtedly later extend his present
line from the dam to Nampa, giving
him a triangular shaped system. If
the Pierce people build to Nampa,
they are also likely to build from
Nampa to Boise, making their sys-
tenn cover the entire Boise valley.

And we feel so sad today,
Too, without one farewell word,
Thou didst slowly pass away.
Though I feel SO sad and lonely,
Surely, God knows what is best.

In that dear land OF the blest.

This one thought was in my mind,
She is not here but is risen,
To our Savior, dear and kind.
There is a great and loving Savior.
And our grief should not be long.
When we know that she is gone.
To that land Of life and song.
Her kind words ring in my memory,
And her dear face seem to see,
Yet no more here on earth

But our kind and loving Savior.
He will ali our burdens hear.
If we ask him ard believe,
He will answer all our prayers.
