CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY

In rural New England the passinS
OF a raj! way train is still q matter
OF publ, interest quite astonishing 70
visitorA from the city. Last summer
three ladies' from Boston hired an
abandoned farmhouse In northern
New England, in region devoted to
dairying. One warm August day they
walked through the rocky pastures
TO a farmhouse three niles distant,
In quest Of a two weeks suppl, Of
butter.
On learning that they had come
through the fields, the farmers wife
exclaimed: 'Why, you can't bo back
that way alonel Our buI1's out there
In the back lot, and only day fore
yistday no freed my sonin.law on Q
stun for two hours I'll have him 70
home with you"
With some misgivings on the part
OF the women, the little procession
started back under the guidance Of
the young man. the ladies carrying
the butter. Ali went well till they
had gone about quarter Of q mile,
when the escort suddenly called, en-
citedly: Come ont" and started ON
run toward higher ground.
Thinking that they understood thu
occasion Of his activity, they needed
no urging to follow him. On and on
they sped, throwing away their but.
ter as an impeachment to their speed.
Finally, bathed in perspiration and
gasping for breath, they sank en-.
hausted on q rocky ledge whittier
their guide had led them. tH
Standing Just above, he waved his
arm In dramatic gesture toward the
valley below, where a freight train
could be seen crawling slowly out
from between q cleft In the hills, and
shouted: There she goes--the milk

! been surveyed.
The water supply is among the best
to be found in the West; the water
for these lands is to be taken from the
Payette river augmented by the Pay
cite Lakes. which are to be converted
into storage reservoirs.
Over $4,000 acres in the district have
been segregated under the Cary Act
Because of the magnitude of this
undertaking. it is almost impossible
for the layman to realize the amount
of work to organize and get into the
proper condition for the voting OF
legal bonds. The Commercial Clubs
of the surrounding towns raised sew
eral thousand of dollars for the in
stigators of this proposition that the
surveys and data required by law. may
be gathered. thus enabling the district
to be organized.
After the district was organized then
it became necessary to survey some
ESQ miles of ditch and reservoir line
that an estimate of the cost of con-
truction of the works might be made
and the bonds voted.
After the hardest kind of a fight,
lasting several months. the state land
board finally granted the use of the
famous Payett lakes as a reservoir.
From the larger lake eight feet was
allowed and from the little lake, the
full capacity. In all some 10000
acre feet will be stored there.
The district has been very fortunate
in securing and maintaining the right
of-way for its main canal up the Pay
cite river which was fought against
by certain railroad interests, to the
last ditch. -..
Heavy construction will be required
on the upper end of the main canal for
some forty miles, cement lining being
called for on account of the loose
granite sand formation of the soil not
holding water. There is to be tun-
mel into the Anderson creek, about II
mile in length; one to be cut through
the Black Canyon hill for a distance
of one third of mile; tunnel begin

Floated Observation-Disclosures Over
100000 Acres Fine Land

Three years ago-August IL. 1909,
to be exact-over fifty men met in the
city Of Caldwell to discuss the best
feasible manner of watering the great
tract of land which now embraces the
Black Canyon Irrigation Project.
The meeting discussed pro and con
the various claims of private corpora
tons. Cary Act propositions and ir-
rigation districts. deciding at last that
on account of the stability of the
bends, an irrigation district should be
formed.
Ten men were selected as a COM
mite from among this assemblage to
proceed with the matter of forming a
district. These men were: Messrs.
Walter B. Compton, w. S. Hawkes.,
M. L. March, Jas. B. Newport, A. w.
Wright. Willard DERRICK, VIM. Sax
ton, and the late Mr.. Tillinghast, who
was succeeded by Geo. L. Stevens.
w. R. Cupp was selected as chair
man and H. A. Graef. secretary of the
committee.
Three lines were run, the high line,
the low and what was termed the mid
die. After due consideration the lat
termost was adopted as the most
feasible.
The Black Canyon Irrigation dist
riot was formally organized on the
18th day of September, 1910. and the
board of directors elected we're: Jas.

CLUB
GIVES BANQUET

Last Tuesday evening the members
of the Caldwell Choral club enjoyed
their first annual banquet which was
held in the Old College building.
This event marked the close of the
clubs first year of work and was an
evening of feasting and jolli6cation.
A festive note was struck in the dec
orations of the hall and tables
Branches of trees were used in the
hall and on the stage at one end a
forest scene with Indian tepee and
campfire made charming picture.
The color scheme of the tables and
decorations was red and white. In
dian motives were used throughout
as reminder of the clubs last con-
cert. To Mrs. H. T. French belongs
credit for the effective arrangements.
and under her direction, assisted by
Mrs. Case, a splendid dinner was serv-
ed by the Westminster Guild Of the
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. R. w. Oakes presided ~ toast
master and the following toasts were
listened to with much Appreciation:

Soprano" According to her, these
were quite serious, though it seemed
the altos of the chorus were largely to
blame.
Mr.. Alfred Stone had some caustie
remarks to make in defense Of the
bass section and directed chiefly
against the director.
Mr.. Arthur Binford had memorixed
quite a stock Of anecdotes and used
them freely in explaining why the
tenors were all right.
Mr. H. T. French then turned loose
a number Of Comments from the Au-

bic.
Raymond Price told "What . Ii

The sworn statements published in
response to the calf of the comptrol-
Ter of currancy are measure by which
the city and community can be gagged
that admits of absolutely no error or
unwise optimism. In another COL
umn of this paper will be found the
reports of the three national banks of
this city, the First. the Western, and
the American. The combined footings
of these three banks amount to ST.
4ll,30215. This is a showing that
would do credit to a city of much
greater population than Caldwell and
is satisfactory answer to the business
men of Boise. proving that Caldwell is
more important than its size would ap-
pear to indicate.
At the head of the list is the First
National bank, with footings of $685.
1920; loans and discounts, $4O7,-
854.94; lawful money reserve, $45, 682.-
rs. The First National is one of the
Oldest banks in this section of the state
and is one of the strongest and most
carefully managed in the entire state.
The second national bank organized
in the city was the Western National.
which is about FIVE years old. 1t has
enjoyed steady. consistent growth
since its organization and is rapidly
becoming one of the strong financial
institutions of the state. Its report
shows footings of 1861, 1925; loans
and discounts, $l5z,363.77; and lawful
money reserve of $2l.404.8O. Ex-Cov-
ernor John T. Morrison is president
OF this bank and among its officers and
directors are found Ed Hedden, J.sW.
Graft. H. D. Biatchley, Martin Jensen,
and L. S. Ollie, cashier.
The American National was organ
lied about four years ago. At the
close of business June ~ this bank
reports footings of $500, 767 90; loans
and discounts of $lo6. o03.22; and law
full money reserve of $l6864.O0. This
institution has lately doubled its quar-
tiers, adding considerably to its vault
capacity and installing a safe-deposit
vault. Under the safe and conserva-
tive management of the present off,
GERS and directors the bank is forging
ahead. During the past year it shows
an increase in footings of more than

As stated in last weeks Tribune,
the Oregon Short Line officials came
in Friday evening and met with the
members of the commercial club too
late for us to get thorough report
of the meeting.
There was surprising scarcity of
the complaints about the road and its
services. as we'll as a warm express
sion of approval regarding the chara-
ter of the employees of the road in
this city. Mr.. Robt. Farrar blushed
becomingly and tried to look modest
as the bouquets were passed around.
Preparing For Warehouses.
The principal concessions promised
by the officials were an additional
track to the north, allowing for some
fine warehouse propositions; the FL
ling of the unsightly hole to the north
OF the track; better lighting at the
station, as soon as a proposition can
be secured from the new light comp
any; thorough investigation of I'M
fair Determinations in freight rates;
and the correction of alleged differ
ence in grades of main line and side
tracks. Mr.. Manson said that the
material had been ordered and in the
very near future automatic gongs will
be installed at the crossings, obviat-
ing in large measure the danger of
passing trains.
Mr.. d. S. Spencer spoke very enter
tainingly of the large sums spent an
nually by the road in advertising
Idaho. Last year he said the road
expended $l,2sO.0OO00 in the eastern
magazines telling of the wonderful
opportunities presented by Utah and
Idaho. He wished the people to CO.
operate by sending in afidavits OF
crops. etc, that the officials of the
road may make use of'4he same in pre-
pairing literiture for advertising pur-
poses.
Mr.. Redway thought inasmuch as
the o. R. & N. road had changed its
name and added the word Washington
that the Short Line should, because
of the fact that the larger portion OF
the road lay in Idaho, should add the
word Idaho" or call the line the !.
S. L. Shortly afterwards Mr.. Holt
etiously suggested that after hsten-
ing to the officials, he thought q good
change could be the "B. S. l." which
made \ hit with the visiting gentle
men.
By all odds Mr.. McNitt. OF the
freight claims department. made the
greatest impression with one OF MS
inmitable stories. illustrating the tact
that the official. are picking up quite
lot of very valuable information.
The party was composed OF the fol-
lowing named gentlemen:
E. c. Manson. assistant genera
manager; w. S. Anderson. car service
agent: B. F. Forbes. supt. OF te'e-
graph; E. w. Newcomb. signal ens'-
