The pictures are colored and the
very best that can be made illustrating

to visit the show.
The price of admission is IS cents
for children and Is cents for adults.
The Commercial club will get liberal
commission from the receipts-you

City Council Enters Protest
Against Raise in
Rates.
MASS MEETING CALLED
Citizens Of City Request that Action
BE Taken in Regard to the Matter
People Of Vicinity are Invited to
Attend Meeting at City Hall in
) Caldwell May 10.

The telephone company here is get.
ting very busy securing new contracts
from all its old patrons in Caldwell
at an advanced rate. The people are
getting worked up over the matter
and some are becoming quite indig-
nant. At its meeting Wednesday
night the city council was urged by a
large delegation of citizens to devise
some means Of securing permanent
relief from what was thought to be
exorbitant charges and inadequate and
inefficient service. After pretty full
discussion of the matter by a unani-
nous vote the city council passed the
following resolution:
Whereas, the people OF Caldwell
and vicinity are being subjected to
unreasonable demands and extortion-
ate charges for telephone service;
And whereas, the elimination of one
Of the systems heretofore maintain
ed, and the natural conditions of this
section Of Idaho, should entitle the
people here to better service at re-
duced charge;
Now therefore be it resolved by the
mayor and city council Of the city of
Caldwell, that rerre sentatives from all
of the cities and towns and rural dis
tricts of this section be invited to meet
with the people here at the city hall
in Caldwell. on the 10th day of May.
1912, at 2 o'clock p. m. for the pur-
pose of considering the advisability
of establishing municipal telephone
systems for southwestern Idaho and
eastern Oregon. securing public util-
tiles commissions and other matters
of mutual and municipal interest.
Passed March n, 1912.

Boise is in the Throes.

Boise is enjoying the excitement in
cident to a municipal election owing
to the fact that it lately adopted the
commission form of government. The
election promises to be as exciting as
the election held to decide whether
the commission form should be adopt
ed or not. 1t is stated that as soon
after the election as possible, whoever
may be elected, that the recall will be
invoked. The fight over changing
the government of Boise to one by
commissioners was most bitter. Those
who opposed the change and those
who are defeated at the election will
join hands to Dust those who are sue
cessful at this time. This may not
seem like a very broad stand for
men to take but sometimes they dc
such things. It would seem to The
Tribune that such view of affairs
is very narrow and calculated to dc
the utmost damage. The issue was
squarely submitted to the people Of
Boise. They had an opportunity te
vote and did vote. They asked fol
the change in the form of govern
ment. The people are entitled to rule
The recall should be invoked only or
account of incompetency, dishonest,
or neglect of duty Strife and ill-feel
ing will stir up frequent elections
which is one vital opposition to thu
recall.
The Boise election possesses con
siderable interest for two reasons. !
is the first one called under the pro
visions of the Black law; and for
mer Caldwell man. Mr.. T. X. Little
has been mentioned frequently TO
mayor. Mr.. Little says that he is II
no wise a candidate and would not &C
cept the position under the presen
unsettled condition. He fears tina
this is simply move to steer hir
away from the state treasurership II
is a candidate for the latter positio
and stands most likely chance @
landing the Republican nomination
which is equivalent to election.

Differences Between Senate
and House to be Ad-
justed.
TAFT GIVES HIS HELP
Measure Gives Homesteaders Five
Months Leave of Absence From
Land Each Year-Main Features of
the Original Bill Retained-Con ,
ference will Decide Definitely.

The Borah-J Jones three year home
stead bill by unanimous vote passed
the house of representatives Tuesday
afternoon in substantially the form in
which it was left last Wednesday.
The passage of this measure which
will open a new era in the west and
prove of incalculable benefit to all set
tiers in their efforts to make homes
for themselves and children is due
largely to the great interest President
Taft took in it and his personal ap-
peal to many eastern senators to give
it their earnest support and also to
Speaker Clark's influence among the
Democratic members of the house
That the speaker was deeply interest
ed in the success of the bill was
shown by his taking the floor and
making speech favoring it last We'd
nesday.
All the essential features Of the
original bill are retained and wha,
differences exist between the senate
and the house will be adjusted in a
committee which will consist of Sen
ators Smoot, Jones and Newlands ant
Representatives Taylor, Ferris ant
Mondell, all favorable to the measure
1t may require several days to shape
up the bill in conference, but its ulti-
mate passage is assured.
The bill, in brief, reduces the home.
stead period from FIVE to three years
gives homesteaders five months leave
of absence each year and six months
in which to establish a residence after
making the original filing. Before the
bill was passed the house voted dowr
amendments proposed by conserva
tionists, reserving minerals, water
power sites and timber to the govern
ment.
Senator Borah is highly elated ovel
the passage of the bill through thu
house and tonight said:
w hit lACI lids OCCH SOIllc SHdllkC'
in the bill, which compels sending i
to conference, yet I feel REASONABLE,
certain nav that at no distant dat
we will have three-year Homestead
law, The house did not make an,
change in the term of three years, Sc
that feature is settled and not subjec
to change in the conference.
minor details of the bill are sub
ject to adjustment in the conference
but l do not feel uneasy about get
ting a satisfactory measure out of tn
conference. I think the conference

Success of this measure in congress
is in a large measure due to the activ
support which was given it by TIL
people. the settlers. commercial club
and newspapers of the west"

c. OF I. NOTES.

During the past week we have had
several chapel talks by eminent speak
ers. Mr.. Eugene w. Chaplin address,
ed the students Friday afternoon. He
handled an old subject in new and
interesting manner. His talk was on
prohibition. Monday morning Prof.
Search addressed US in chapel along
the line Of education and was extreme
ly interesting and was listened to with
closest attention. Miss Cutler gave a
short talk Tuesday morning on some
of the old prophets lives as applied to
modern times. Miss Cutler has the
Bible study of the Y. w. c. A. in
charge. Her headquarters are in New
York.
Mayor Crifiths addressed the Y.
NJ. Monday night on "Politics." His
talk was enjoyed by all present and
no doubt those who heard him feel
that politics are not so bad after all.
Dr.. Boone made his first appear
ance in chapel Monday and was
greeted with nine "rahs."
The fellows out for baseball are be-
ing rapidly whipped into shape and
the prospects are brighter than ever
for first class team. Some of the
uniforms have been handed out and
the others will be the last of next
week. Our first game is scheduled
with Boise April 6, and Coach Kyle is
jubilant over the prospects for victory.
| Plans are on foot to celebrate
Founders Day Friday. Apri! II.
The day adopted for this annual cele-
bration is April IA. but falling on
Sunday this year it is thought best to
change the date. 1t is planned to have
a large attendance Of the alumni. AS
yet no announcement regarding pro-
gram can be made, but we expect to
have some prominent orator present
and ball game is spoken of with
Boise. In the evening there will
probably be a banquet and possibly a
: bonfire.
i All the girls that attended the Y.
INV. c. A. convention in Boise last
week report an enthusiastic meeting
and were deeply interested.

MORE BUILDINGS TO
BE ERECTED SOON
Spring Trade in Building Materials
Exceeds Expectations,

The Tribune is pleased to report
an unexpected activity in building op-
erations since the advent of good
weather Reports from local dealers
show that quite lot of building ma
terial is being sold; nothing in the
nature, of course, of boom, but a
strong, healthy activity causing re-
newed feeling of confidence after the
somewhat depressing outlook of the
earlier spring.

Examiner Under Fire.

The same day that proceedings were
resumed to secure the extradition of
B. F. O'Neil, the defunct Boise State
bank attracted public attention. The
depositors held meeting at Boise,
which was attended by the state bank
examiner, V. w. Plat. These deposit
tors wanted to know what had be-
come of their money; why the exami-
ner had not closed the bank as soon
as it became generally known that it
was insolvent; and why the exact
status of affairs was not given full
publicity. Mr.. M. Alexander was one
of those demanding that the names of
the creditors and debtors of the bank
be made known. The questions asked
were evaded by Mr.. Plat for reasons
sufficient to himself. He stated that
he would make known the facts upon
order of the court. 1t is currently
rumored in Boise that the bank will
not pay over S. cents on the dollar
and it may be considerably less
This institution closed its doors last
summer.
During the past few years Idaho
has suffered from an epidemic of bank
failures. The most disastrous was
that of the Capital State bank of Boise.
This was followed by that at Wal
lace; then came failure at Mackay
and later one at Blackfoot. In every
case the failure of the bank resulted
from defalcations by the officers of
the bank, which would indicate that
the state banking laws should receive
attention at the hands of the next leg
islature. OF course embezzlement of
funds will never be entirely done
away with, but it is much more COM
mon among state banks than among
those chartered and regulated by the
national government. 1t should be
made impossible for officers to con-
tinue their defalcations for years with
out detection. In the case of the
Boise bank the depositors took the
position that the state examiner had
been remiss in his duty and subjected
him to merciless grilling at the meet
ing.

The Great Bruneau Project
Has Been Financed
in Chicago.
O'NEIL CASE UP AGAIN
Wallace Banker Now Charged with
Embezzlement of the Funds of the
Bank-Boise State Bank Depositors
Hold Meeting-Municipal. Election
in Capital City.

According to the Pocatello Tribune
the big Bruneau project has been fin
anced, but that the company hcsitares
to commence work at once for fear
that the reclamation of such an i'm
mense body of land would swamp the
land market of Idaho, as there are al
ready a number of enterprises under
way at the present time. The delay
of a year or two will not make so
much difference if the money is really
available when needed. Mr.. J. c.
Wheeler, a prominent citizen of the
Gate City has just returned from Chi
cago. While in that city he gained
the information that money for the
project was at hand.
The Bruneau projects comprehend
over 100000 acres of land, making it
one of the very largest irrigation pro-
jects in the world. The Bruneau tract
is in Owyhee county but is really a
continuation of the Twin Falls tracts.
The main canal for this enterprise will
lead from Snake river at American
Falls and circle the foothills distance
of $50 miles before it reaches the Bru-
neau tract. The Snake river will be
damned at the Falls, making the river
itself serve as a reservoir. A large
section of the town of American Falls
will be submerged and the water
backed up for a hundred miles or
more. This reclamation enterprise
again demonstrates the fact that the
Snake river is Idaho's greatest nat
ural resource. Idaho has not more
fertile land than other western states
but it does have more available water
for irrigation purposes. This is the
one reason why irrigation reclamation
has made such progress in this state.

O'Neil Case Again.

It has been several weeks since the
people of Idaho have heard anything
of Mr.. B. F. O'Neil, the Wallace bank
er and politician. 1t had begun to look
as though he had escaped the law and
was safe and sound at Vancouver, B.
c. Tuesday, however, he again claim
ed attention by reason of the fact that
the authorities had resumed their ef
forts to secure his extradition. Coun-
sci for O'Neil secured postponment
of the proceedings until yesterday. At
this time it is hard to say whether or
not extradition will be secured. This
time specific charges have been lodg-
ed against the banker. The grounds
for extradition now are out and out
embezzlement of the funds of the
bank. Formerly the charge was that
of issuing false reports of the condi-
ton of the bank. As under the Ca
madam laws actual fraud must be
shown before conviction can be had
the offence charged against O'Neil
was not extraditable. The present
hearing will likely extend through out
several months.
The Tribune is of the opinion that
Mr.. O'Neil will never be tried in Ida
no on the charges made against him.
The British government is loath to
part with persons who have sought
its protection except where clear and
unmistakable crime can be shown
The courts of British Columbia are
very apt to take the grounds that the
charges FIRST lodged against O'Nei
were the only ones that could be es'
tablished in a court at law, and that
the later allegations were simply
trumped up to secure the extraditior
OF the fugitive from justice. As ths
first charges were not crimes agains'
the Canadian law and in consequence
not extraditable, the later charges viii
not receive the respect to which the,
may be entitled. The prosecution o
O'Neil made fatal mistake in thu
beginning. In their haste. those law
yers went off half-cocked as the say
ing is. They will now have a muci
harder time extraditing the Wallace
banker than If they had thorough!
investigated matters in the beginning
