AUTO TRIP OVER
RECLAMATION PROJECT


One of the features which will be
drawing card for Homesteaders' Day
and will accomplish much in acquaint-
ing visitors with the resources of this
section, is the auto trip which is plan
ned to take place on the day follow
ing the big celebration. There are
thousands of people in Caldwell who
are not familiar with the developments
which have taken place in the country
under the reclamation project, and it
is hoped that as many of the business
men as possible will take advantage
of this opportunity to go over the pro-
ject. Autos will be provided and it
expected that the owners of cars will
donate the use of them for this trip.
The Publicity committee has voted
sum to provide gasoline for the cars
and entertain representatives OF the
press who will be here from all over
the Northwest.

Prominent Capitalists Grow
Enthusiastic Over Cald-
well and Community.
CITY HAS GREAT FUTURE
Thinks the Growing of Hops Would
Prove Eminently Successful on
Some of Canyon County's Good
Bottom Land-1nterurban Lines
Will Accelerate Development.

Messrs. VIM. Nottingham and
lanes M. Gilbert, vice president and
secretary of the Syracuse Trust Co.,
an institution with over 100000 in
assets, and heavy investors in the
Pacific Northwest, left the city early
in the week after having spent several
days examining Caldwell and sur
rounding territory.
M. Gilbert was emphatic in his ex-
pressions concerning the future of the
Magic City. "You are bound" said
Mr.. Gilbert, ito have fine city here
nothing can stop YOU"
Mr.. Nottingham, when seen by a
Tribune reporter, stated that he was
particularly pleased with the climate
and the general appearance of Cald-
well. "One cannot appreciate" Mr..
Nottingham continued. "the vastness
of the territory contributing to Cald-
we'll until one goes to high ridge
like Canyon Hill and looks off in all
directions"
Mr.. Nottingham and associates have
invested over $sO,OOO,OOO in street rail-
ways in the state of New York, and he
has made a careful study of the sub
ject of interurban railways. He was
greatly impressed with the wonderful
possibilities of the surrounding terri
tory. 81 think" continued Mr.. Not
tingham, what is going to do more
for Caldwell than anything else, is
your fine system of interurban rail-
ways. We are. dumping from 1000 to
5000 people into Syracuse daily from
our railways and they all leave money
in the city.
Caldwell will appreciate the inter-
urban railways more and more as she
developes."
Should Grow Hops.
Albert Congdon. who with his bro
Their was here with the gentlemen
mentioned above, and who has extern
sive interests in and around North
Yakima, was enthusiastic over the
possibilities of our country.
81 don't see any reason" said Mr.
Congdon. why the people here cant
make good money raising hops on
good bottom land In North Yakima
last year with hops at 45c pound and
ton to the acre, many hop grewel
realized $500 an acre clear profit"
The gentlemen while we'll acquaint
ed with the North Yakima country hae
never visited this section and stopped
off with Mr.. w. L. Hasbrouck.

Mr.. J. S. Harrington, has visited man,
of the nearby towns and outlayinf
country districts. He has met with
most cordial reception everywhere
and is thoroughly convinced that thu

per cent greater than it was three
years ago. The people in all sections
are greatly interested. To a perso'
they expressed their determination II

successfully. The promise of such
immense crowds has necessitated the
purchase of considerably more meat
than was at first contemplated.
This week advertising committees
will visit Boise. Star. Emmett. New
Plymouth. Fruitland, Payette, Ontario
and Parma. Word has reached Cald-
we'll that large delegations may be
anticipated from each of those COM
munities.
Trip Over Project.
An idea which is meeting with
great encouragement is proposed
automobile trip over the Deer Flat.
Big Bend and Roswell country, the
day following the celebration. Mr..
John Williams of the Fisk-Williams
Co.. expressed the belief that the bus
mess men of Caldwell should famil-
iarize themselves with the country
around this city and suggested such
trip. The idea appealed to Mr..
Henry Dorman, who with characteris-
tic energy Immediately started out to
interest the business men. 1t is pro-
posed that about 40 automobiles make
the trip carrying representative Of
every business house in the city. and
as many representatives of the press
as can be had. This party will stoE
at the experiment farm. Lake Lowell
and Wilder; touch the Big Bend coun
try and Roswell. 1t is thought thai
the newspaper men of this part of thu
state, as we'll as others from more
distant places would be glad to re-
main over a day if they can be proper
" entertained. 1t is also though
that the business Of Caldwell coult
imbibe considerable enthusiasm b!
actually seeing the development tina
is taking place on the tract of lant

The game was a good clean exhibit

Tcthro started the game for the visit

fourth. Morse held the locals but the
two runs secured in the first and third
were enough to win.
Ontario secured her one run in the
sixth, when, in trying to cut off the
runner from third the ball was thrown
wide and the runner scored.
Jimmy Kelleher discouraged all ct
forts at purloining the second sack by
throwing a tack in the runner-the
first three who attempted were nailed
easily, with plenty Of room to spare
No runner got near enough to tbe sack
to even make a close inspection. The
only other steal attempted by Ontario
was when Safer was on second.

A special dispatch to Boise paper
appearing in an issue of Wednesday,
imparts the information that the Har-
riman system had completed its plans
for a new road from Los Angeles to
Spokane.
The route of the new road, ac-
cording to the dispatch. was as fol-
lows:
From Los Angeles to Mojave the
present main line of the Southern Pa
ci6c will be used and from Mojave
to Owenyo. in Inyo county, q new
line will be constructed along the
route of the Los Angeles aqueduct.
From Owenyo to Tonepah Junction

narrow guage line owned by the
Southern Pacific company, will be
standardized at an expense of thous-
ands of dollars, and a short extension
will take the line to Hazen, New on
the main line of the Central Pacific.
Winnemucca to Caldwell
From Hazen to Winnemucca, New.
the main line Of the Central Pacific
will be followed, and from there the
completion of the line now under con-
struction, according to Col. E. R.
Place, the promoter of this section,
will connect Winnemucca and Cald-
we'll, instead of Nampa, as the Boise
paper adduced.
| Leaving Caldwell the route will fol-
low the main line of the Short Line
to Huntington, and from there to
Homestead, Idaho, on the Northwest
ern tracks. From Homestead the sur
veyors have run line along the Snake
river and north to Spokane. the north
ern terminus of the new route.
j The building of the line into Cald-
we'll is assured. Some two years age
the road was completed to Wilder
and the grading extended to point
on Snake river opposite Homedale.
The material has just arrived for thu
building of telegraph line to Wilder
. and the Construction will begin q
once. There would be no conceivabl,
reason for building this telegraph lin
were the intentions not to complete
the line to Winnemucca.
