Now, So So for at least 200 pounds live
weight. to say nothing OF the wholesome
three to four pounds per sheep. Your paper
quoted the sale of the nine sheep at $3 80
each-9S pounds weight. My returns were
70 cents less than this would come to.
The commissions charged are absurdly
low, and no business house could live on
the nominal charges for commission. and
the inference we cannot help but draw Is
that the shipper neither gets his right
weight nor sale price. Spring lambs, live
weight. were IA TO 10 cents-the return
was 3 each.

velopment and growth of Caldwell,
Canyon county and the state of Idaho.
We believe that the development OF
any part of the state will ultimately
promote the development of every
other part; and that the growth OF
any other city will finally result in the
growth of Caldwell. And to secure
our own selfish interests we must un-
sel6shly advance and help in the aims
and ambitions of others. The Tribune
is published in the interests of the
people of the state of Idaho. We be-
lieve that the interests of every cit
izen are the same in the last analysis.
The Tribune being Republican in
politics; published in the fairest land
on earth; and under the bluest sky;
with a view solely to help the people
policy of optimism is irrevocably
pledged.
In the local field an effort will be
made to completely cover Canyon
county. 1t is the purpose of The Tri-
bune to be one of the best local news
papers in the state. With that pur-
pose in view the reportorial force will
be recognized.

The truly wonderful work the la
dies of our city have accomplished.
especially in organized effort under
the banners of the Forward club. the
Library committee and others, is
brought forcibly to mind this week
by the Carnegie Library develop
ments.
What is anybody's business is gen.
orally nobody's business. Thus in
municipal affairs it many times hap
pens that needed improvements are
sidetraeked because the responsibility
rests upon no one certain person 1t
is in cases of this sort that women
have taken the lead and pushed for
ward with eommendable energy plans
which have borne splendid fruition.
There is scarcely an improvement
in the whole Of our delightful city but
owes in greater or less degree its ex-
istenee to the women Of CALDWELL:
and while The Tribune has ever en-
deavored to give credit where due, i.
wishes to do more. The Tribune
desires to publicly pledge its active
support to the women Of Caldwell
and Canyon county in their public ae-
tivities.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER PROB
LEM.

1t would appear that had Pinchot
and his benefactor applied some OF
their energy in forestry matters to an
effort looking toward the reforestation
of the headwaters of the Mississippi
river, they could have accomplished
something far more worth while than
by their wierd policy in the north
western states.
The loss of property occasioned by
the present Mississippi overflow will
exceed $4,000 900. to say nothing Of
the loss of life and the incalculable
human suffering. By the destruction
of the forests in the Mississippi val
ley, the ground was left bare and hard
at once shedding the water. When
rain falls in forests the soft mold and
accumulation of dead leaves holds the
water until it is gradually absorbed by
the earth and passes off through the
springs.
The problem of the Mississippi is a
federal one. No state. nor several
states. can deal with a problem SC
large to advantage. A board of ex.
perts appointed by Congress coult
study the problem and the fedora
hand could supply the remedy.
When in 1906 the Colorado rive
broke through its banks and inundated

Fact, Fire and Faulty Figures.
A hearing was held before the coun-
ty commissioners Monday for the pur-
pose of presenting the claims of those
interested in securing an increase of
the premium money allotment for the
next county fair.
Notwithstanding the number Of
Caldwell residents interested and pres
ent at the hearing, it was not thought
possible to properly present the claim
for in crease of the tax levy for this
purpose from "a to "a mill without
the presence, at least, of the father of

retreat to present the case for the far

characteristic vigorous fashion.
Mr.. Hannah made few energetic
and pointed remarks to the commits

course of which he is alleged to have
said, substantially, Gentlemen, the

after year, taxes. taxes. rates and
taxes, ever increasing, ever more
pressing! And gets in return for it
nothing-nothing except the paltry
return of the premiums won at the

Idaho from the early days is an inspi-
ration to make our own generation
memorable. A spirit of progress per-
vades the community as evidenced by
the demand for clean politics, more
efficient and economical government,
new industries, good schools, streets,
roads; the stupendous irrigation pro-
jects, the thousands of acres of grow
ing orchards. the great sheep and min
ing enterprises. There are hundreds
of things that need improvement. We
cannot be content to accept what salts
fed our fathers. The world ever
moves forward and unless we pro-
gress we will be outstripped by states
with not a 1.-THE of our advantages.
Unrivaled opportunities invite us.
To neglect them is unworthy OF sons
of the virile young state. Breadth OF
view is required to build for the fu-
ture along broad lines. leadership
is futile without the support of en-
lightened citizens, and it is encour-
aging to note the growing interest OF
our citizens in educational and public
affairs and their demand for larger
share in government, moving forward
inevitably.
No one need ever have fear of the
future OF a country that finds in its
history inspiration for achievement.
1t is our present duty to put Caldwell,
Canyon county, and the state of Idaho
in the front rank.

ROOSEVELT AND LINCOLN.

ROOSEVELT AND L1NCOAN.
Sunday, April IA, was the 47th an
niversary of the ssination of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Lincoln directed the destinies OF
this country during the greatest crisis
it has ever known. To greater de-
gree than any other president he en-
bodied the democratic ideal which
spans the gulf between the log cabin
and the White House. In the hour OF
greatest triumph he fell at the hand
of an assassin. For these reasons he
is revered by the American people.
For these reasons also is it eminently
uniting that sundry politicians
should seek to identify themselves
with him.
1t is undoubtedly true that the pres
ent campaign presents many import
ant issues. But be they decided in
whatever manner, the country will
continue to exist. 1t was not so in
1860. This renders the frequency and
loudness with which the name of Lin
coin is invoked peculiarly obnoxious,
and shows the extent to which bitter
party strife warps the sense of proper
proportion on the part of the blatant
offenders.
The worst offender, though by nc
means the only person to use the name
of Lincoln in vain. is Theodare Roose-
welt. His speeches are continually in
terjected with the name of our Mar
tyred President.
The Colonel has never been at a
loss for something to say of himself
and his wagon surely will acquire nc
additional momentum by his frantic
efforts to hitch it to a star. Particu-
larly so when we reflect that his op-
ponents may with more reason invoke
the name of Lincoln in their efforts
to protect the Constitution from de-
cidedly dangerous innovations.

TISEMENTS.

The columns of The Tribune will
positively not be open to advertise

may be considered a menace to the
hight standard of morality maintained
by Caldwell and Canyon county.
The present management of The
Tribune does not question the sinceri-
tyof the convictions of any former
management and this statement is
meant in no wise as a reflection, but
is a mere plain declaration of policy
along the line of our firm convictions.

Mr.. LITTLE A CANDIDATE.

The people of Idaho, and particu-
larly of those parts where he Is best
known. will receive with pleasure the
definite announcement of Mr.. 7. K.
Little that he will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for state
treasurer. The Republicans will be
we'll pleased because they know that
in Mr.. Little they will have candi-
date in whom they can place explicit
confidence; that he is man compe-
tent and honest; that he will add
strength to the state ticket. Other
good citizens will be pleased in that if
he be nominated and elected the state
treasurership will be in the hands of =
faithful and efficient officer, in the
hands of a man who will countenance
no graft or shady transactions. He
will compel an absolute compliance
with the laws governing his Office.
Mr.. Little has lived in Idaho for
nearly a quarter of a century. For
many years he engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Caldwell. He sold his
business in this city few years ago
after a long and successful career.
While living in Caldwell he served
as mayor with great credit. He made
one of the best executive officers the
city ever had. He was prominent in
promoting the business and other in
terests of Caldwell and surrounding
country. At all times he was willing
and freely gave of his time and money
in promoting public and semi-public
enterprises that were calculated to
make for a bigger and better city,
county and state.
The Tribune is firmly convinced
that Mr.. Little should be nominated
and that he will be nominated. He will
carry Canyon county by an over
whelming majority. He will do equal.
ly we'll in Ada and adjoining counties
There is no reason why he should moi
run we'll in every county in the state
We believe that as soon as the people
generally become acquainted with him
that they will early recognize his true
worth and strength.
Mr.. Little was down from Boise one
day this week. While in the city he
stated that he had definitely decided
to become a candidate for this nomina-
ton. He stated that he stands for
strict enforcement OF the law in so far
as the duties of his Office are involved
rigid economy in public expenditures;
full publicity for the transactions OF
the Office and of state boards; just and
equitable taxation. Probably Mr.. Lit
tie will publish more extended
statement of his views and purposes
in connection with this Office at an
early date.
At the present time The Tribune
eommends Mr.. Little to the Republi-
cans of Idaho. He will make a COM
petent. capable officer if elected He
will add strength to the state ticket.

He Heaved the Lead.

The steamer was loaded with pig
lead, and was slowly picking her way
up the dangerous river The mate was
forward, and as they approached a
perilous spot he turned 6ercely to a
deck hand.
why don't you heave the lead? he
roared.
The mariner had only recently en-
braced his profession, and technical
expressions were as yet somewhat be-
yond him.
"Heave the lead, is it, your honor?
Sure, where should heave it"
The mate turned purple. "Over-
board, you genius!" he spluttered.
And straightway Patrick seized one
of the pigs of lead, and threw it over
board.
The mate felt that mere words were
useless at time like this, and he made
an effort to save the pig. Alas! in do
ing so he overbalanced, and went with
splash into the dark river.
just then the captain took hand in
the discussion from the bridge:
Nov, then, you forward, why don't
you heave the lead?"
please, sir, it's already hev," said
Pat.
"And how much water is there"
Pat considered a moment.
"Arrah," he said, don't be SO i'm
patient. The mates just this moment
gone to find out"-Tip Top.
