The land has a natural slope to the
river. affording excellent drainage,
and the soil the experts claim is par
ticularly adaptable to the culture Of
grapes: thus the Lewiston grape sec
ton will soon have rival. In the
growing of small fruits the Gem dis
trict will perhaps cause many to open
their eyes.
The entire district is composed of
some of the best sandy loan soil to
be found in the Snake River valley,
and that. say the experts of the gov
eminent, means the best in the world.
The Gem district will add another
section to the already immense irri-
gated tract surrounding Caldwell, and
q corresponding increase in the busin-
ess of our city may be looked for with
confidence.
With the completion of the Gem
district this next year and that of the
Black Canyon the year following
Caldwell will join in the prosperity Of
the settlers, and the city will develop,
rapidly.

MEETING OF THE CITY
COUNCIL MONDAY.

The City Dads met Monday even
ing and transacted the usual routine
of business before taking up the mat
ter of the vigorous protest coming
from the residents of the Hill against
the action of the power company in
stringing high tension electric wire.
not insulated along the Cleveland
Boulevard.
The wire passes through the trees
on Cleveland boulevard is causing
grave concern among the residents OF
of the ciKty. It is feared that the
trees, especially during rainy weather.
will act as conductors of electricity
and that pedestrians using this thor
oughfare will be in imminent danger OF
eletrocution. 1t is also pointed out
that all of the trees coming in contact
with the wire will die, and that the
street now noted for its shady walks
will present desolate appearance.
DR.. Cue. president of the CONNER
cial club; w. H. Hasbrouck. Henry
Zeh and other prominent citizens. have
taken the matter up with General Man
ager Dicke and are confident that
when the matter is brought to his at
tention that an insulated wire will
be in stalled giving adequate protec-
ton to the residents of the street.
| The council was asked to cooper
ate and help in having the nuisance
abated.
| The matter of bridge across In
dian Creek on Arthur street was re-
ferred to the street committee. The
. handsome drinking fountain will
: porbably be moved to a position In
5 front of the City Hall at the expense
of the Caldwell Traction Co.

BANKS TO HELP
BUY MORE COWS

An effort is being made by the
Commercial club to assist the farmers
about Caldwell in securing more cows.
A number of farmers have signihed
their desire to obtain more cows to
consume the surplus hay grown upon
the farms this season. realizing that
there is no better way to dispose OF
this product. In order that some ini-
tial action may be brought about, such
as other sections are putting forth,
farmers who are interested and wish to
purchase cows, are requested to meet
the secretary of the Commercial club
at the club rooms on Saturday alter
noon at 2 o'clock, to discuss the sit
uation, and make list of the kind and
number of cows desired.

BULL MOOSE
CANDIDATES

Wednes the news was flashed over
the country that Mr.. Roosevelt's con-
vention at Chicago had nominated
Roosevelt to head the national ticket
and Governor Johnson of California,
was selected as his running mate.
The party was formally christened
"The Progressive Party" dropping the
prefix national" that. it has borne
since its inception.
The convention adjourned at 7:l4
p. m. with the delegates singing the
Doxology.
No Rollcall, No Ballot.
During the three days it was in ses-
sion there was not a roll call nor a
ballot. The delegates expected no
such formalities, either in placing
their candidates in nomination or in
voting for them. There was not a
voice of opposition, either to Colone
Roosevelt or Governor Johnson. The
clay in nominating them was due te
the large number of seconding speech
es allowed.
AS has always been the case in ma
tional political conventions, the bull
| of the work of the Progressive gath
ering was carried on in the commit
| tees. Only a sembelance of conflic
of opinion on the floor was a brie
debate today as to whether an hours
recess should be taken. The poin
was material. but one delegate ex
pressed it, 1--WE just had to fight
little to make it regular conven

There was sharp discussion, how
ever, in several committee meeting'
and no little difficulty in agreein
upon the platform as finally adopted.

mand was for high school facilities to
complete the superstructure.
Living on a dry ranch-no water in
the ditch, rich in nothing at all but
faith in God and hope for the future,
it required the vision of seer for the
undertaking upon which the little
band of workers next entered.
The results proving satisfactory
and the enrolment increasing it be-
came imperative to erect some sort of
a building so committee was started
out for donations. Such was the need
and such the interest that before
another school year opened plans
were perfected for the erection of a
commodious two story building con-
taing an assembly room, three re-
citation rooms, with large basement
for laboratory and gymnasium, heated
by furnaces.
The labor was largely donated and
such was the interest of the whole
community in the work that by the
first of the New year the building was
occupied and the school year COM
pleted under the efficient care of Prof.
Chas. V. Marshall and Mrs. Marshall.
Last year being the third year of its
existence was by far the best. Pro-
lessor Marshall with the aid Of Mrs.

THE BUILDING Of
GREENLEAf ACADEMY
FAITH IN GOD AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
STARTS THE INSTITUTION
SUCCESSFUL FROM THE VERY first
Little Quaker Community Stands for Education
and Has Built an Academy Of Which Any
People Might Well Feel Proud

"Why would anyone think of build. |
ng such a school away out here in a
place like this?" Such is the question
the causual observer is likely to ask
when he visits Greenleaf community.
All around, so far as the eye can
see, homes are gradually devoping;
from out large tracts,but yesterday
covered with sage brush and inhabited
by the jack rabbit and coyote, today
emerge we'll kept ranches, covered
with alfalfa, orchards, blue grass and
clover; everything indeed, has the
appearance of very recent settlement,
therefore it is difficult for the casual
observer to believe his eyes and he
rubs them again to be sure if it is
real-yes, there it stands, evidently
has been standing for some time. with
all the dignity of more pretentious
halls of learning-with all the hope of
generations, present and to come are
bound up in the same bundle of life
with itself-Greenleaf Academy.
If anyone does not know the where
fore of it he may indeed be puzzled.
The solution to the enigma is this:
Greenleaf is distinctly Quaker COM
munity.
To one who knows Quakers this
explanation is sufficient; suffice it to
say that since the days of George Fox
in ENGLAND and William Penn in
America, Quakerism has stood for
education.
Go back over. the history of our
country and as one advances from the
Antlantic coast westward he may
track every Quaker settlement by the
schools which these men and women
of Faith have founded.

POPULATION.

Il is now estimated that the total
population of the United States has
grown-in the two years and a quar-
ter since the last oficiai census-at
least 4.oo0.o 900. The total ma now be
In excess Of los, 100000 souls.
That is an immense mass OF human
heings. Just three other nations ex-
ceed the United States in population.
The English maintain their position
only through the control OF India with
its hordes of people. Russia has a
clear title to q larger number of peo-
pie who swear allegiance to the flag
Of the GEARS. China's almost count
less millions are far in excess OF the
United States--in quantity IL not in
quality.
The American government-with its
continental and insular possessions
ID rapidly increasing its population.
In North Dakota the visits OF the
stbrk are from three to four times as
frequent rs those Of the grim mon.
ster. Any spectator who saw the
large number of children in the safe
and sane Fourth OF July parade viii
readily admit the immense possibili.
ties OF increased home production.

ALFALFA TOBACCO.

Alfalfa is gaining a nationwide
popularity. North Dakota is devot-
ing increased acreage annually to this
crop and the state will be the better
for having done so. 1t possesses un-
told advantages over clover and tim
othy. AS a forage and feed for horses
and cows 1t has no equal. But aside
from that II is gaining popularity in
other channels.
Alfalfa is being used In many parts
Of the United States as a poultry food.
II ID also converted into -four from
which delicious green biscuits are
made. 1t is becoming as popular as
q food for man-as 1t has been for
beasts.
The latest successful use OF alfalfa,
however, Is as q tobacco. Shipments
OF alfalfa have, been made to the to-
baeco manufacturing concerns in Vir-
ginia. II is claimed hat it is to be
mixed with both the chewing and the
smoking tobacco. In the latter 1t is
said to be especially fine, giving an
aromatic flavor to the mixture that is
delightful-and counteracting the
strong odor of raw tobacco leaves.
OF course this may not be popular
with either the chewers or the smok-
eFs. They may prefer to buy their
alfalfa at the feed store by the bale
rather than securing it in small
packages at the cigar stands.
