A special effort is being made to
get the members of the company to at
tend the regular drills Tuesday night

Caldwell Citizens Urged to
Attend Meeting of
Land Board.
MEANS MUCH TO CITY
General Manager of Crane Falls Co..
in City Yesterday-Says Water Will
be on Land next Spring-All canals
Finished and Power Stations Com
pleted, Ready for Machinery.

Water will undoubtedly be ready
for distribution and the lands will
be watered in the Gem district next
spring." said Mr.. A. f. Cooke.
vice-president and general manager
of the Crane Falls company to a
representative of The Tribune yes
terday afternoon.
''The canal system is complete, -
continued Mr.. Cooke, "and the
pumping stations completed, all
ready for the machinery"
Mr.. Cooke was in the city to
urge upon the people of Caldwell
the necessity of appearing before
the state land board today. The
board meets at 400 O'Clock to con-
slider the matter of the sale of the
public lands in the Gem district.
More than 5000 acres of state
land is included in the district, al
most one-third of the district, and it
Is OF supreme Importance not only
to the people in the district, but to
everybody in the city of Caldwell
that the board does not place too
high a valuation upon the lands to
be sold, as such an action would
keep settlers out and revert to the
INJURY OF the community
Mr.. Chace, the president of the
Crane Falls company, will be at
Boise today at the meeting of the
state board. He is interesting him
self in the colonization of the dis
trict.
: The Crane Falls company builds
the system and sells it to the Gem
district, taking in payment the
bonds Of the district at par; hence
1t is to their interest to make the
proposition as attractive as possible
to intending settlers Should the
state land commissioners place the
valuation of these lands too high,
the colonization work of the Crane
Falls company will be rendered very
difficult, and the hundreds of set
tiers that they expect to bring in
may become discouraged and go
elsewhere.
1t is urged that as many citizens
as can will go to Boise today and
be present at the meeting which
will b held at 1900 O'Clock in the
state land board Office.

The press of the state seem to
look upon the investigation OF the St
Anthony Reform school with grave
suspicion. For some reason or other
it is thought that coat of whitewash
is to be applied. Naturally this pro.
vokes severe criticism. The testimony
introduced at the investigation indi-
Gates that some of the children were
treated with cruelty while others were
favored to more or less degree, This
always happens. That most of the
children were treated with kindness
and consideration is beside the Ques-
ton. That some were treated harsh
ly Is the real question. The testimony
introduced in behalf of Superintendent
Humphreys simply shows that he play
ed favoritism in his conduct Of the in
stitute.
The investigation will not have been
held in vain II something is done to
guard against similar occurrences in
the future. There seems to be only
one way to protect these children and
that is by direct legislative enactment.

Pocatello Rejoices.

Pocatello is rejoicing over the an
nouncement recently made by E. c.
Mason, assistant general manager of
the Oregon Short Line that 100000
would be expended in that city during
the coming year. OF the amount $780,
10000 will be expended in the erection
of new freight depot; the balance
on eight miles of new switching track
and new coal chutes. The Tribune of
Pocatello is authority for the state
ment that work will be commenced on
these improvement in the near future !;
and also that new passenger depot
will be erected as soon as plans and
specifications can be drawn and agreed
upon.
1t must make the good people of
McCammon sick every time an i'm
provement is authorized at Pocatello.
In the early history of the Short Line
the McCammon people became con-
WINGED that their town was the only
gate way to the Oregon country. In
consequence they were most arrogant
in their treatment of the Oregon Short
Line The result was that the rail-
way company went north Is miles
and there made their big junction
From Pocatello the line west was
built; at Pocatello were erected shops;
and Pocatello has become one of the
important railway cities of the west.
1t is seldom that a community can
successfully fight railway company
Salt Lake City did it, but she is one
out of a hundred. For years Odgen
was the important railway center of
Utah. The companies tried to make
Odgen the metropolis. After fight
of 20 years the effort was abandoned
Salt Lake had the Mormon church
with all its wealth, as we'll as the ma
tural location. With these two ele-
ments at hand it was easily able to
maintain its lead in wealth and pop
ulation.

Corporal punishment must be prohib-
tied by law, both in reformatory insti-
tutes and in the public schools. Until
this is done such scandals will come
to light from time to time. That an
intelligent people would have permit

schools tor so many years is past all
understanding. How much longer
such will be permitted is a question
that cannot be answered. The Idaho

mishing. the county central COM
mite met Saturday last and elected
Mr.. D. A. Hawkins of Emmett as
chairman. and Mr.. Fred Fiske of
Parma state committeeman.
Mr.. Hawkins is empowered to
select his own secretary, and has
issued call for the committee and
candidates for Monday next at EN-
nett, when after consultation with
secretary from Emmett and one
from Caldwell.
After his election Mr. Hawkins
received the warm congratulations
of all the committee and then made
few remarks. Mr.. Hawkins said
he intended to support the Republi-
can ticket from President Taft down
to constable, and was confident that
the Republicans will have a larger
majority Of votes in Canyon county
than ever before. Mr.. Fiske said
that the men who have been elected
by the Republican party have al
ways stood firm for progressive prin-
ciples and that in this matter Taft
Is no exception, and for that reason
he deserves reelection. He pledged
himself to do all in his power to
accomplish this end.
The executive committee appoint
ed by the county chairman Is as
follows: Ned Jenness, Nampa; J.
B. Gowen, CALDWELL; c. A. Strong,

Fairs, Crops and Politics.

1t is hard to say whether the people
are more interested in fairs and crops
than in politics at this season of the
year. The crops and the county fairs
are at least important. The indica-
tions are that crops are phenomenal
in all sections of the state. From the
southeast comes word of the greatest
grain, hay, potato and sugar beet crops
in the history of our state. Not only
is the yield per acre above the average
but the amount of land under cult
walton is greater than ever before. The
fruit, hay and grain crop in this sec
ton is large and of splendid quality.
From north Idaho the same reports
come. When it is remembered that
there have been partial failures
throughout the middle states the out
look in this state is bright indedd.
The good crops and bright prospects
naturally encourage people to hold
county fairs. There is hardly county
in the southern part of the state which
will not hold an agricultural fair this
fall. In many states the different
towns will hold fairs and carnivals
After these fairs are over the exhibits
will be taken to the county fair, This
will happen in Canyon county this
year as in the past. The idea origin
ated in this county. II was found to
possess great merit. 1t arouses great
local interest and enables much
larger and better county fair. During
the next thirty days fairs will be held
at Nampa. Parma or Roswell. Payette.
New Plymouth and Emmett These
will be followed by the big county
fair at Caldwell, The same thing will
happen in Twin Falls, Oneida. Bing-
ham. Bonneville and Fremont
counties
There is no factor which offers
greater encouragement to the develop
ment of the agricultural, horticultural,
dairy, stock and other interests than
the county fair. 1t encourages expert
ment on the farms; improvement OF
livestock; and in fact sane intelligent
development 1t has come to pass in
this county that most enterprising and
progressive people we have are the
farmers. Fairs should be encouraged
and loyalty supported by all classes.

Senator William E. Borah is enroute
to Idaho. He will first go to the
northern part of the state. After a
short rest he will come to south Idaho
for the purpose of making preparation
for the coming political campaign. 1t
is understood that Senator Borah will
make a complete canvass of the state
in the interests of the Republican tic
ket, both state and national.
Senator Borah has been placed in a
very embarrassing position-or rather
has placed himself in such position.
Not many weeks prior to the Chicago
convention Senator Borah could sec
no particular reason why he should
come out openly either for President
Taft or Colonel Roosevelt. A great
light suddenly dawned and the Sena-
tor became one of the Roosevelt lead
ers. Roosevelt bolted the Chicago
convention. Borah refused to follow.
Now the Idaho Bull Moose leaders
propose to put the matter up to Sena
tor Borah. Unless he will stand for
Col. Roosevelt he need expect no help
from the Bull Moose. We do not
know what our Senator may do. He
has done all sorts of things in the past
and it is not going too strong to say
that he might do any old thing on this
particular occasion. 1t might be we'll
for the Senator to remember that the
Taft Republicans in Idaho may have
few things to say. Senator Borah
can be reelected to the senate, but
only as Republican. He may as we'll
make up his mind to that one thing.
10 IN ho Ell <hot
Senator Borah should get in line on
himself. He should have attained the
age of discretion. He chould have
reached that time in life when Col
Roosevelt could not make jack ass
of him, as the Boise Statesman says
he did. The Statesman may be de-
pended upon to give Senator Borah
credit for all that is coming to him.

The Political Situation.

The people of Idaho are looking
into the political situation as they have
never done in the past 1t is reason
able to assume that the Roosevelt
party will cut very little figure. 1t
had no cause for being and can have
no cause for existence. The person
atty of the man-and to that should
be added financial perquisites-will
party. The star of Roosevelt is in
eclipse. 1t is impossible to maintain
national party on platitudes, emo
tionalism and cash. If this people
are entitled to self-government-if
they are capable of ruling themselves
extravaganza will not long control.
Appearances may deceive but there
are no loose eccentrics with the people
of Idaho
The political situation is not at all
satisfactory at the present time. The
people have not formulated their ideas.
However as they have not failed in the
past they will not fail in the future.
They may be depended upon to ulti-
mately solve the problem right The
safeguard of this country is the COM
mon sense of the people. In Idaho
the result will be the same as that
now becoming manifest in Canyon
county. Here the people are rapidly
getting back to a normal state. The
people of the state are coming to
their senses as fast as could be ex-
pected. To-day only the natural sue
torial remain and they may be ex-
pected to go with the passing of the
season.

The following account of the we'd
ding of Mr.. w. G. Brooks, superin-
tendent of the schools of this city,
which occurred at Plattsmouth,

came Just at the close of an almost
perfect summer day. The sun, late

dor, had left the trees and hilltops
tinted with lovely twilight glow.
The half-orbed moon arose and
cast a silvery radiance which fell as
a benediction upon the scene.
At the appointed hour the cere.
mony was introduced by the singing
