BrownsvilIe Ready ca Pave.
II found plenty OF mud in Browns
vilIe,r AIT. Gibson said. I'm that re-
spect. Corpus Christi doesn't lead the
world BY any means, but the money
for street having Is already in q
Pr6Ml sA.lla bank and lwasiaiormet
that the work would BE- taken up
shortly"
There are many evidences OF an
improved era going on in Brownsville
The Frisco railroad Is running it,
motor cars 20 Matamoros. the Mexi-
can town across the river from
Brownsville. The National railways
have surveyed a line from Matamoros
TO Tampico on the gulf coast. Had
II not been for the MaderoDiaz affair
actual construction work would have
been begun on this road long ago;
however. since peace has been estab-
lished and prosperity apparently
smiles on our sister republic. h will
not be long before the administration
takes up this important work. The
road will be built 10 work in con-
junction with the Frisco system.
Americans Looking for Land.
American prospcctors are In the
field looking over land values In the
Brownsville \ MatamcGos section.
There seems 10 be a general revival
OF business conditions. Everything
in Mexico seems 10 be quiet. The peo
pie are evidently happy over the
state or peace now existing and are
determined "a keep the peace. a.
their prompt overthrowal of the Rey-
es revolution bears witness.
Two New Bank buildings.
1.-Two Of the Brownsville banks are
erecting handsome new buildings In
their anticipation OF a big city 20 be-.
Neither is as yet completed. One In
a four-story brick, Of modern archi-
lecture, the other a one-st0ry Of tso-

tinct credit TO a city or more people
than Brownsville boasts.
Some Dinner I'm Matamoros.
Mr.. Gibson crossed the river with
Mr.. Thomas and the two parto0k Of

DEMS1ER FOR
EX-GOVERNOR

The candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor from the Southern part of the
state is Hon. Charles w. Dempster OF
Bannock county.
Mr.. Dempster was born in Iowa,
but was taken by his parents to Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, and then California,
where his father died leaving the ten
year-old boy and his mother. In 1891
Charlie came with his mother to this
state and Idaho has been his home
ever since, with the exception of six
years spent in Montana, during which
time he was twice elected to the state
While securing his education in the
schools of Idaho, the boy worked
at various kinds of work to help keep
the wolf from the door. 1t was very
much of struggle, but through it all
he was blessed with a good mother
who encouraged him, and knew no
sacrifice too great to make that her
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1912-07-19

boy might have the advantages of an
education and fair chance in life
During these years. and until Mr..
Dempster was ready to take up teach
ing, he did whatever he could turn
his hand to, following such work as
farming. construction gangs on rail-
roads, and strengthening, etc.
In 1893 he was road masters clerk
at Nampa. under Mr.. Con. McConnors
who was then road master.
He took whirl at the construction
work on the Dewey Road, and lived
with the many men engaged in the
work, in the bunk house near Guffy,
so he knows something about rough
ing it.
Having spent his spare time in study
he was ready for the teachers ex-
aminotion about this time, and was
granted a certificate to teach school,
four years of his life were spent in
teaching.
He was successful in his school
work but left it to engage in business
and farming. With his mother he
owns good farm near Soda Springs.
Having taken it as a homestead, he
knows the struggles and hardships
of home builder.
At present Mr.. Dempster is the
Secretary of the Legislature of the
State of Idaho, in which position
he has served two sessions, one
regular and one special. He is
a capable and experienced man,
and knows as few men the duties OF
lieutenant governor in presiding
over the senate. If elected he will
doubtless be able to reduce the cost
OF the session to minimum because
of his knowledge of the needs of the
clerical force. Mr.. Dempster expects,
and will no doubt receive, a large
vote in Southern Idaho.

WHERE THE OLD PIANOS 60
Parkway Markets Found For Those
Taken In Trade.

What becomes of all the old pianos?
Thousands of new pianos are sold
every year to the greater number of
those who already have old musical
instruments. The salesman allows a
liberal price for the old piano in trade
and accepts little cash, and takes the
balance in monthly installments. Now
just as many on his hands as before,
for he has accepted an old one. What
becomes of it? He does not care to
sell it to some one who has never
had piano if he can avoid it, for if
the process of trading continued he
would soon be following himself as
if in a circle and there are no divi-
dends in that. He must find market
for the old instrument. To do this
he repairs and varnishes the old in
strument, boxes it, and, with hundreds
of other instruments are shipped to
South America. Africa, Asia, and other
benighted portions of the world, then
they are sold to the natives, who yearn
for music and whose ambition is to
drum out tunes on an instrument of
their own. These pianos are sold for
small amount down, and the balance
in monthly payments, sometimes in
weekley payments, extended over a
long period of time. In this way the
dealer gets back not only the price
he allows for the old piano in the
first place. but the cost of repairing,
boxing and shipping, with interest
added to each of the charges.

SEEDING ALFALFA

The international Dry Farming con.
gress is told by L. A. Felger, manager
OF the Ohio-Alberta Farms Company
operating large acreage eight miles
south OF Lethbridge, Alberta, that the
alfalfa will grow prolific on a seeding
OF only two pounds to the acre. Mr.,
Felger has an excellent stand of IL
acres which was seeded with only four
pounds to the acre in May. 1911. He
lowed to depth of five and half to
six inches. His seed bed was we'll pre-
pared and he inoculated the soil from
neighboring alfalfa field. His theory
is to plant in rows, and next year he
will use only two pounds to the acre
by stopping up all the holes of his
drill except two, at the same time
mixing his seed with ground feed.

RAINS FISH ON SHIPS DECK

The St. Egbert Barely Escapes Dis.
aster From Waterproof. j."
1t rained fish upon the deck of the
British steamship St. Egbert on June
6, when that vessel was in mid-ocean
and encountered huge waterspout,
which nearly wrecked the craft. This
is the story brough in and verified by
the master and crew of the vessel,
which arrived in the port of Philadel-
phia recently.
According to Captain Mckenzie,
the spout was a monster. A huge
funnel-shaped cloud swept the ocean
in the direction of the vessel, and as
it neared the St. Egbert it touched the
water, sucking up a great spout and
throwing great quantities of water
upon the decks, at the same time
roaring like cyclone.
When the water was sucked up into
the vortex of the storm, many fish
were drawn above the surface with
it. As the water fell on the deck the
live fish were scattered about. Many
hundreds of them were sucked up by
the spout.-Philadelphia Record.

COOLING THE MILK
Five Ways Pointed Out BY The Idaho
Expert

For the most rapid cooling of milk,
the following points should be OBJ
served, says w. R. Wright, assistant
bacterioolgist of the Idaho expert
ment station at Moscow:
First-That cold air is better than
no attempt at cooling.
Second-That cold water is more
rapid than cold air.
Third-That an occasional stirring
hastens the cooling process.
Fourth--That ice-water is much
more rapid than air of the same tenn
perature.
Fifth-That mixture of ice-water
and salt IS the most efficient cooling
agent.
