at hand, and the bird has been re-

In captivity, as so many other birds
do
81 am very glad to have this bird
for the collection and appreciate

sented to the park by ID. A. Smith

Sen. BORAH
VISITS Caldwell
EXPRESSES STRONG HOPES THAT
THREE-YEAR HOMESTEAD
LAW WILL PASS.

Large and Enthusiastic Audience
Greets Junior Senator at City Hall
Wednesday Evening-Settlers and
Farmers State Needs and Desires
at Hands of Congress.
Legislative needs for the better
ment of homesteaders and farmers
living under government irrigation
projects were discussed at length at
the city hall last Wednesday evening
by the farmers living in the vicinity
of Caldwell, who had gathered at the
invitation of the Commercial Club to
meet with Senator Borah. Ideas,
new and novel, socialistic and con-
servative were presented for the
Senator's consideration by the speak
ers. There was present a large
audience who greeted Senator Borah
with enthusiastic applause.
The meeting was held at the city
hall and President w. H. Redway
of the Commercial Club presided. In
calling the meeting to order Mr..
Redway said that the purpose of the
meeting was two-fold. Senator Bor-
all was here to hear from the people
and the people were present to hear
from Senator Borah. He expressed
hearty welcome to the people and
to the distinguished visitor,
D. R. Hubbard, president of the
Water Users Association was present
and spoke Of the work accomplish
ed; the prospects for the rapid de-
velopment Of the Payette-Boise pro-
ject; and stated the legislative needs
of those living on this particular
tract. His remarks were listened to
with marked attention. Mr.. Hub
bard was followed by Messrs. Turn
er, Look, Jones and Kipp.
Senator Borah stated that he was
present to learn the needs Of the
settlers and to obtain information
regarding legislation desired by
them. Senator Borah spoke opti-
mistically regarding the three year
homestead bill and said that the
prospects we're bright for its pas
sage at the next session of Congress
Eastern Congressman, he said, were
yearly becoming more conversant
with the west and its needs, and
with the knowledge, the old time
hostility towards western measures
was rapidly disappearing. The con-
viction, he continued, that western
members can best judge the merits
of a bill dealing directly with their
constituency is rapidly gaining
ground and that he anticipated but
little opposition in securing much
needed legislation for the west this
winter.
Senator Borah recently sent tele-
gram to Charles D. Hilles secretary
to President Taft, urging that the
nations chief include Caldwell in
his Swing around the circle" No
reply has been received, as yet,
which leads the Senator to believe
that the change OF itinerary is be-
ing seriously considered. Should
the President include Caldwell in
the list of cities to be visited, he
will address the citizens of Canyon
County at the Canyon County Fair
Grounds on October 8.
