The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1912-06-28

A short wind storm in Payette one
afternoon last week overturned the
beautiful Elk monument standing in
the center of the public square, and
submerged it the waters of the toun-
tain. Across the tracks, by the can
merry, a frail house was blown down
on the car and for twenty minutes
wind of fifty-fve miles an hour vel
ocity swept the growing town from
end to end and made the housekeepers
get quick action on themselves about
closing windows and rolling occupied
baby buggies in from the porch.
Nearly every string of fish caught
in the Boise river is tainted with hand
some bass. These bass are getting to
be of eatable size as year by year
they grow larger The game warden
might stir up things in this region it
he should happen to stop certain in
dividuals and ask them to show up
fishing licenses. In this connection
the Tribune's reporter has been asked
if it is necessary for women and girls
to have fishing licenses and he was
unable to answer the question law
fully.
DR.. Maxey has a handsome piece
of mineral bearing rock that was
found along the lava rim rock in the
canyon, just north of Caldwell. This
rock assays $500 in gold and 400
ounces of silver. The Doctor has put
in many hours trying to locate the
ledge from which this piece was taken,
but thus far it is only try. His
theory is, however, that it lays under
the water at point not far above the
wagon, bridge. He got the piece here
in the city where it had been hauled
along with many wagon loads of rock
for foundation purposes. Mr.. Maxey
thinks it would pay to put in drill
and test all of that region between the
Boise and Interurban bridge and the
wagon bridge, half mile below.
A big-nosed stranger walked down
main street one day last week and
took a pull at the pure fresh water
flowing from the antiseptic fountain
with its china mouth. He backed a.
way from it splitting and wiping his
mouth frantically. One would have
ouoooead ha had swa11owed some
humble bees that had dared to take a
bath in the SO and nine tenths pure
fluid, but not so. ooh! Gee!" he said,
mo wonder you fellers have tight
ford feveah here. That's simply dirty
slough water. 1t will make the las
one of you sick in week. Wheauee!
that's fright. Gee, but it's plum
rank. Fevah sure to foller any SIGH
dope es that there" He rubbed his
big Roman nose in real German fash

OILS says that in an early day there
was a massacre in the canyon at tbs
point. At the time when the whites,
little train realized it was surrounded
by host of Indians, they made read,
for battle. This woman is thouobt
to have been wounded and crawled
into the rocks to die, where she was
overlooked when the other dead
were picked up, for there was hard
fight that day. The story is told that
the treasure of the train was ouick,v
thrown together and taken up on the
cemetary side Of the hill, and there
buried, having the rod from a wagon
end gate stuck down to mark the
spot. The Indians worsted the white
men and but one person was left TO
tell the tale, and he knew nothing de-
finite to tell. He did recall the story
of the buried treasure, which con-
sisted of $4,000 in pure gold dust and
$4,000 in currency. The whole was
put in an iron box. The spot of this
burial was one thousand feet form
large tree standing in the river dot
tom, and on a direct line between the
tree and Squaw butte. Fifteen years
after the massacre. several persons
came here from the east and put at a
Caldwell hotel. They worked on the
case for ten days, seaching every pos
sible trace of the tree and looking
over every probable place on the
bench where the wagon rod might be
found Nobody has ever located the
treasure and nobody knows its ap-
proximate whereabouts, except that
it cannot be far from certain dis
trict on the hill The owners of the
land will give anyone half if he finds
the box and there are some persons
who never walk across the territory
without keeping an eye well to the
ground for that fatal end gate rod

AS THEY DO IN FRANCE.

They do differently in France. A woman professor in an academy for young women supported by the gov ernment, is proud of having given three fine sons to her country. She recently, says Le Cri de Paris, sent a communication to the minister of public instruction giving an account of her long service and setting out her right to retire on a pension. She was not a little surprised to receive a statement that there had been sub tracted from her time of service three vacations of one month each, the time required to bring her sons into the world. This official note bore these words: 'Iess three months taken for personal convenience"

 From Flames.

Mrs. Margaret A. Comstock died here at her home from burns re- ceived in an effort to save the life of her three-year-old grandchild, Agnes Thompson, who died a few hours after the accident.

 Why" and she gave her notebook an angry fling. this thing here, I warrant. has about one page in ten filled with business that needed to be transacted! The rest Is gush and affectation! And yet the men pride themselves on their quickness and their lack of red tape and their abil- ity to cope with big situations. And you won't find one man in a dozen who doesn't make supercilious re- marks about detail and say that he hasn't time to attend to that-thats what he keeps clerks for
 "I heard Mir. Brown this morning tell his wife over the phone that he simply couldn't get home to her lun- cheon, he was so busy-hs desk was simply piled with work. He was very sorry, but business had to come be- fore Dleasure and she'd please make his excuses to the guests and so on all that rot.
 Well. I expected busy day when I heard that and so I prepared for rapid dictation. Well, what did I get? To one man he wrote that the matter was on his desk and as soon as he had time he'd look it over and write him in detail which he begged leave to trust was satisfactory! And to another he wrote that business, as he very likely knew, wasn't what it might be. and therefore he wouldn't be able to go into the matter, but we might in some months time-per haps-with which he trusted he might sign himself very sincerely! And to another that he was in doubt as to the advisability of taking out such and such a paper, just at present, but after due consideration he would write him further, and he desired, with great gusto, to subscribe him. self his obliged friend. And so on through the whole list! Why, there wasn't a letter that couldn't have been done away with altogether, let alone being put off until after his wife's luncheon!
 "Rut all those letters made him think he was a very busy man and I've no doubt that he thinks he's in- dispensable to the company!
 Some day I'm going to run off a lot of form letters, saying that I'm very sorry. but haven't yet had time to look into the matter, but will write further when time permits. l think 1t makes the men feel good to tell peo- pie they are too busy to think. Per haps it might be we'll for me to offer my services as thinker for them!
 "They all know that they'll decide against whatever matter 1t Is that keeps pending! It's hypocritical at titude, to say the least. They pretend to themselves that they're busy. They pretend to the man to whom they write that the matter really interests them and that they're really going to discuss it. and think 1t over, when they know they aren't even going to look at 1t again! And they pretend to the company that they're doing business eight hours a day! And then they'll go home and pretend to their wives that they've had hard day!

Oh, l never will get this Christ mas list made out!" said the little stenographer, impatiently, as she hastily threw her notebook into a drawer and grabbed materials to an- swer the buzzer that was getting fran tic. This is the 'steenth time I've barely got 1t started when some one wants to write his friend that he en- 1oyed the dinner he took with him yesterday or wishes to inform some one whom he never saw and never will see that he received his valued favor-which he never even read through-but though he can do abso- lutely nothing for him he begs, most ardently, to remind him that-and SO on! Huh! Talk about women gush- ing!"
 The bookkeeper turned an apprecia- tive countenance toward her and pre- pared to listen.
 "Oh. buzz on!" she exclaimed cross ly, as the summons became still more imperative. I'm engaged for a while yeti" And she snapped a rubbed band across the buzzer to deaden the noise.
 Actually. there aren't ten letters a day that are absolutely necessary" she declared. There's a lot of fol derol. that passes back and forth. and gets filed as business, though 1t is simple waste of time and postage. When the men receive the letters they realize what rubbish they are and laugh at them. But when they get started dictating they like the sound of their own voices!
