The business men of Boise believe
they say, that Caldwell is absolutel,
dead" Then the jobbers surely will
not expect much business from a
dead" city-and if we are correctly
informed, they will in the future get
just about what they expect.
However. there is yet some little
life left in the Magic City. Of course,
compared to a city where Judge Dun
bar but lately publicly testified that
it was not an uncommon experience
to be solicited on the street by young
girls-some under Ia years of age
Caldwell must appear dead" to the
average sport from the capital. But
when we consider that one real estate
firm in Caldwell did more business in
the past three weeks than all the real
estate firms in Boise combined--why,
we need not despair yet. The state
ments of the banks of our city publish
ed in this issue show a splendid con-
dition and encouraging growth-yet
another reason to perk up a bit.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SECOND DISTRICT.

Monday Mr.. S. G. Tuning of Ros
well filed papers nominating Mr.. w
B. Mitchell, of Parma, as candidate
for county commissioner of the sec.
ond district of the county.
Mr.. Mitchell needs no introduction
as he has lived in Canyon county the
greater part of his life, having come
from Iowa to Idaho with his parents
in an early day
Although Mr. Mitchell has taken a
very active part in the Republican
party, and has always been a very
strong advocate of the principals ad-
vanced by the party, he has never
before permitted his name to go be-
fore the people as candidate for any
Office of public trust.
Mr.. Mitchell is a farmer by occu-
patton. living about a mile north of
the town of Parma, he is also man
of sound judgment and considerable
business experience, being one of the
directors and secretary of the Farm
ers' COOPERATIVE Ditch Co., one of
the lagest irrigation systems in the
county, in which capacity he has SER
we'd the patrons for several years, be-
sides being connected with many other
enterprises for the upbuilding of the
county and the community in which
he lives.
If nominated and elected The Tri-
bune feels certain that in Mr. Mitchell
he people of the second district will
lave commissioner who will fill the |
Dill in manner highly creditable to
himself and them.

TAX REDEMPTION FOR Wild.

comes necessary for widows and sold
iers claiming exemption from taxes
that they file with the County Asses

Wit setting forth their claims to ex-
emption.
Mr.. A. o. Christopher, the County
Assessor, wished the Board of County
Commissioners to publish such notice

exemptiners might have an opportu-
nifty to become familiar with the new
law, but the commissioners felt that

pense of the notices.

OBSERVATIONS

Our recent College Commencement
directs some thinking; no one can tell
how much this region ows it; among
IT'S earlier graduates are some of our
leading citizens; it has been one of the
strong influences which have led many
people to settle in Canyon County; for
such man as Pres. Boone to live his
early life into such an institution, and
tor the community to sustain such
IDEALS means much; and this part of
Idaho will reap yet the larger harvests
hereafter.
In the early part of the last CEN
fury the Baptists established an Acad-
envy in certain eastern town, to give
fundamental education to their candi-
dates for the MINISTRY; after some
years it was merged in a Thological
given hrdluonyeasr thesfhoythrdluooo
Seminary elswhere;- but not until it
had given an impetus to higher edu-
cation in that town which caused it to
Jorge ahead of the surrounding region;
numbers of people moved their fam
lies into the place for educational all.
Vantages; some of the teachers mar
r'ed into the town families; and those
two facts did much to keep the place
IN the educational lead for many wears.
1t was one Of the first towns of that
state to accept legislative provision

was thus found in one of the humble
homes; in another very humble home
three boys were in succession inspired
to study; one was afterwards a pro-
minent College President, another a
leading Massachusetts, preacher, while
the third gave promise of unusual alb
ility, but was early called from earth;
that Academy gave a distinct chara-
cter to all southwestern Vermont;
and DR.. Wickham, its principal was
revered and honored; if any one de-
sires to build a monument for him
self which shall call down blessings
on his memory from coming gener-
ations, let him build and endow
school of higher learning. 1t was un-
doubtedly whole crop of schools and
colleges, planted all over the north
west, by the sons and daughters of
the east, which gave the high ideals
of patriotism, which led those states
to respond so heartily and generally
to the call to save our country in 1862
S; in some instances almost a whole
company was made up of the pupils
from one such school.
In one way and another it has been
my lot to be considerably in touch
with higher education in both the
east and the west, and it is my judy
ment that in our college, its President
and his associates. we have something
to value and to foster.
1t is frequent remark by visitors
and newcomers that we have a re-
degree of fraternal cooper
alton among our Caldwell churches;
the move to have union Sunday even
ng services through the coming sum-
mer is excellent; have one sugges-
ton to my fellow citizens; if you are
tempted to remain at home Sunday
evening see to it that you attend the
services when they are in the churches
'ou do not regularly attend; to at
end the service only when it is in
'our own church will not look we'll,
nd will not be we'll.
