had been very fortunate in having a
as Sam Vassar. Mr.. Vassar had not
only done good work on the streets
and highways but had been signally
successful in interesting the people
living along the roads leading into the
city so as to get them to help in the
work necessary. Among the work
done Mr.. Griffiths mentioned the fol-
lowing:
One mile along the cemetery road.
straight over the hill from Kimball
Avenue; three quarters of mile of
the Runciman road; three quarters
of mile on sth Avenue; one and one
half miles Boise Avenue road; one
and one-half miles on Indiana Avenue;
road to river dump grounds) three
miles; all being graded last year.
Among the jobs done this year were
10th Avenue, u mile; Kimball Avenue
" mile; Marlatt road, " mile; Lin
den street, 8 miles; drainage and inn
provements along Odd Fellows Home.
Mr.. Criifiths said if he had as good
men in the three road districts that
adjoin the city as Jack Riddle had
proved to be in his district, much
more could be accomplished. We
have splendid roads leading south to-
wards Nampa, but poor ones leading
west into Caldwell. This should be
remedied.
The city council while making the
improvement in the street around the
CITY Hall built a concrete storage
house for coal. This building will
hold carload of coal, which when
bought in the summer will prove a
big saving.
Mr.. Vassar then spoke of the effort
being made to get enough subscrip-
tons from the people of Caldwell to
improve Kimball avenue from Cleve-
land Boulevard to the city limits. He
had already secured about $275.OO in
cash and promises of men and teams
and needed about $1,000. The men,
bers of the club appreciated the value
of this Improvement and assured Mr..
Vassar of their earnest cooperation
in an effort to secure the needed
money.
Big Interurban Junketing Trip.
The matter Of the entertainment of
the guests of the Interurban line on
the big junketing trip to-day came in
for due attention, and committee
composed of Messrs. H. w. Dorman
and Walter Griffiths was appointed by
DR.. Cue to make arrangements for
the reception and proper entertain.
ment of the visitors. The cars will
arrive about 1890 and will be met by
a strong delegation of citizens at the
lower end Of Main street, where the
cars turn. They will be escorted by
the Caldwellites, headed by the band,
to the site of the new station, where
Mayor Crifiiths will make one of his
celebrated addresses and after the
band discourses as only the Idaho
State Band can, the crowd will re-
pair to the Saratoga and partake Of
one of Jack Cordon's feasts. The
visitors will then have a couple Of
hours with Caldwell business men
Caldwell, so strong, will then board
the cars and proceed to Nampa, Meri-
dian, and Boise with the party. All
Caldwellites may obtain badges from
the club.
"Idaho's Ideal"
Mr.. Crifiths then made mention Of
a plan to place huge electric sign or
the big water tank on Canyon Hill
He suggested big red apple, with
the words "Idaho's Ideal" beneath
This idea had been advanced by Mr.
Markhus of the Idaho Railway, Light
& Power Co., some time ago. At that
time he said the company would fur.
nish the electricity free of cost to thu
city. The idea appealed to all pre-.
sent and Mr.. Crifhths promised t
tell the club all about the scheme a
the next meeting-cost; size and stu
alton.
"Euphonious Appellation."
Mr.. Crifiths declared that he hat
