JUDGE BRYAN REVERSED BY
THE STATE SUPREME COURT
Saxton Loses in the Now Famous
Boise Valley Hay Case.

Judge Ed L. Bryan of the Seventh
Judicial district was reversed in de-
cision handed down by the Supreme
Court Wednesday. The case was that
of c. F.. Saxton VS.. F. NJ. Breshears.
From the records of the case it ap-
pears that quantity of hay, about
100 tons, owned by E. c. Norton, was
included in two chattel mortgages
and that later contract was entered
into by which Norton was to sell the
mortgaged hay to c. +. Saxton. La
ter, through foreclosure proceedings
instituted in behalf of the party who
held the mortgages, the hay was seiz-
ed by F. M. Breshears, as sheriff of
Canyon county, and from these cir
cumstances a suit in court arose be-
tween Saxton, as purchaser, and
Breshears, as sheriff, for the posses
sion Of the timothy. The lower court
found in favor of Saxton, but the ST.
preme court reverses that finding.
In closing, the decision, which is
fathered by Justice Sullivan and con-
Cured in by Chief Justice Stewart
and Justice Ailshie, contains the fol-
lowing language:
Under all of the facts, it is clear
that this action cannot be maintained
for the possession of the hay. The
Judgment must therefore be reversed
and the cause remanded with instruc-
ton to the trial court to enter a judg-
ment of dismissal in favor of the de-
PENDANT, Breshears."

Macbeth Collects Mileage.

Hon. Ravenal Macbeth of Ada and
Custer counties is the star performer
in the Democratic party of Idaho. A
year ago last November he was elected
state senator from Custer county. AZ
ter the legislature adjourned he re-
signed as state senator in order to be-
come water commissioner with sal
airy of 100000 per annum and per-
quisites in the way of travelling ex-
penses. That was not so bad. When
Governor Hawley called the legisla-
ture to meet in special session he con-
stituted this same Ravenal Macbeth
state senator from Custer county, but
of course, Water Commissioner Mac
beth had to again resign in order to
become Senator Macbeth. That was
little worse. Now comes the climax.
AS Senator, Macbeth, though living
just across the street from the capitol,
hailed from Custer county and put
in his claim for mileage amounting to
trife over $5400. Let us hope in
charity that as soon as Water Com
missioner Macbeth found that he was
Senator Macbeth, he Immediately
hiked himself back to Challis in order
to make the trip back and collect the
mileage. That is the most charitable
view we can take of the matter, and
even at that it reflects little credit on
the Democratic leader. In order to
get to the capitol building across JEFF
ferson street, Mr.. Macbeth went west
to Nampa, east to Pocatello, north to
Blackfoot, northwest to Challis;
thence southeast to Blackfoot,
south to Pocatello, west to
Nampa, east to Boise, thence to the
capitol; cost over $54OO. He will now
go back to Challis in order to resign
as senator and again become water
commissioner. On his return to Boise
he will be travelling as water commits
sioner and of course the state will
defray the expenses.

MOST SUCCESSFUL
TRADERS DAY.
One Thousand People in Town and
Transactions Amounted to $500.

Traders day, Monday, Feb. S, was
the most successful in several months.
Fully 1000 people were in town that
day and the receipts at the auction
were a few dollars less than fifteen
hundred. The streets were crowded
with people. All the store and restau-
rants report busy day. The
weather was good which undoubtedly
helped to great extent. The princi-
pal drawing card, however. was the
fact that every merchant in town had
special bargains for this day. These
bargains had been we'll advertised
through the press of the city. The
special bargains unquestionably made
the day the success it was.
The auctioneers and the CONNER
cial bank. through which the business
is transacted, report this the biggest
day in over year, and the second
largest day in the amount of sales
since the custom was started in this
city.

EMMETT CITIZENS WILL
ORGANIZE TELEPHONE co
Complaints of Poor Service and Elk
orbitant Rates Ignored.

Citizens of Emmett have taker
steps toward organizing an independ
ent telephone company. Some time
ago Emmett business men filed com.
plants of poor service and excessive
rates against the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph Co. The
company investigated conditions but
refused to grant relief with the re.
suit stated above. At mass meeting
of Emmett citizens the following re.
solutions were unanimously adopted
"Wheras, The Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company, do
ing business in Emmett, was given
until Feb. l, 1912, to comply with GER
tain requirements or to remove their
phones from the Offices, stores and
homes of the patrons of said COM
pany; and
Whereas, Said company has up tc
this time failed to comply with said
requirements; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we refuse to nego-
tiate further with the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company; and
be it further
Resolved, That we, the petitioners
and patrons proceed now to the or
ganization of local company to tran
sact the business in Emmett"
After the adoption of the resolu.
tons DR.. Barnes, E. K. Hayes, J. H
Cronk, T. Whiteside and Ed Bel
were named as committee to take
up the matter and work out the de.
tails of the organization and put it ir
shape for immediate construction.

League Wants New Party.

The Taxpayers League of Merid-
ian has announced that the organiza
ton purposes to engage in politics in
the future, even going so far as to or
game a new party if necessary. The
secretary of the Meridian league has
stated, according to the Tribune of
that city, that relief cannot be had
through the old parties and that tax
payers will be forced to organize
themselves into party founded upon
economical government and equitable
taxation. We do not know how far
the league can go in this direction or
how far the idea has pcrmeated the
state. The idea of another party looks
foolish to us. If the league is strong
enough to win at the general election
on independent lines it is certainly
strong enough to force both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties To
grant the relief demanded, to pass the
legislation needed; to practice the
economy necessary, and to tax the
people equitably. The only purpose
another party could have would be to
enable few ambitious leaders to get
public Offices. If the league permits
itself to be manipulated by few self
styled leaders it will fail of any prac-
teal accomplishment. The trouble
with all the guardians of the rights
of the people" is that few of them are
willing to perform their functions un-
less they are vised to a public Office.
The people of Idaho can and do con-
troll the actions of political parties.
Whenever they make known their
wishes, the leaders, or politicians, If
you please, fall over themselves in
their haste to see that they get them.
The blame and responsibility cannot
be taken from the shoulders of the
people. They nominate the candi-
dates, and afterwards elect them. Not
only do they put the men in Office. but

Growth of Payette Valley Industry.

Perhaps no other industry in the
Payette valley. or this section of
southern Idaho for that matter, has
made a greater success financially,
taking it one month with another,
than the New Plymouth and Letha
cheese factories. Certainly no other
factor has been instrumental in ad-
vancing the dairying industry to such
degree as the establishment of these
factories have. A report covering the
operation of the New Plymouth and
Letha plants for 1910 and 1911 shows
very conclusively that notwithstand-
ing the obstacles and Encouragement
attendant upon establishing new
business in region as sparsely set
tied as the Payette valley was three
years ago, the success of the enter
prise has been assured. Following
are the figures in the report:
Number of pounds of milk received,
l,O2oO66.
Number of pounds of cheese made,
l03,3l7.
Amount paid for milk, $ll,336.2O.
Cheese sold, $l2,728.7o.

NEW YORK BANKER LOOKS
OVER THIS SECTION.
Well pleased with Boise Valley and
the Outlook for the Future.

w. A. Purdy, representing the
Chase National bank of New York,
was in Caldwell yesterday looking
over this section of the state. He was
shown over the country and also the
section between Caldwell and Weiser
by Mr.. w. P. Lyon, cashier of the
First National bank of this city. The
Chase National is interested financial
ly with the Mainlands who are engag-
ed in such vast development work in
this section of Idaho. Mr.. Purdy.
like all others who have visited these
parts, was greatly impressed with the
natural resources of the Boise and
Payette valleys. He has visited Boise.
and will visit Weiser, Payette, On
tario and other points before return
ing to New York.

War IS ON With THE
Big EASTERN MAIL
ORDER HOUSES
The Retail Merchants of Idaho
Are Ready for the
Struggle.
TWIN FALLS Is IN BAD
Effort Will be Made to Enlist all
Commercial Bodies in Great Cam
paign-Business Men ask People to
Investigate Prices and Quality of
Goods Offered.

A Chicago mail order house has an
nounced its intention of making war
upon the retail merchants of southern
Idaho and particularly upon those of
Twin Falls. Thousands of circulars
have been distributed throughout this
section by this concern. Just what
caused the war is latent at the present
time but undoubtedly the Twin Falls
merchants were giving the mail order
houses run for their money. This
action provoked the Chicago house
and the war is on. 1t will probably
be extended from town to town. The
merchants of Caldwell and other cities
in southern Idaho are amply able to
fight the mail order houses. This
campaign will educate the people so as
to enable them to understand the
fakery of the average mail order con-
Germ. If the people would only look
beyond the surface; intelligently COM
pare prices and quality; terms and
conditions of sale; and figure the
freight rates; they will find that in SO
cases out of every 100 the local mer-
chant can and will save them money.
A representative of The Tribune
this week interviewed merchants in
all lines of trade and not one of them
expressed fear that they would be
unable to cope with mail order houses.
In fact they really welcome this fight
as the publicity will get the people
to investigate. However the cities of
the southern part of the state should
work together as is suggested by the
following letter from the Merchants
& Manufacturers association of Twin
Falls:
Merchants & Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Twin Falls, Idaho, Feb. 7, 1912.
The Tribune, Caldwell, Idaho.
Gentlemen-Your letter addressed
to Mr.. Spangler has been referred to
me for reply.
This organization at meeting last
evening appointed committee to de-
wise plans for meeting the attack of
Montgomery Ward & Co.
While this attack is directed par
ticularly at the merchants of Twin
Falls, it also includes merchants gen.
orally in southern Idaho. l believe
that the mail order problem is one
requiring the united action of COM
mercial organizations in this state and
some plan should be devised whereby
Idahoans will look for the upbuilding
of Idaho, and let Kansas City and
other eastern cities look after their
own prosperity.
When our committee reaches con-
clusion l shall be very glad to commu-
nicate with you.
Thanking you for your kindly in
tercst, remain,
GEO. II. SMITH, Secretary.

Republican Victory Assured.

Hon. c. w. Dempster of Soda
Springs was in Caldwell few hours
Monday attending to lodge matters
Mr.. Dempster is chief clerk of the
Idaho senate and candidate for the
Republican nomination for lieutenant
governor. He is a young man of en-
ergy, ability and force of character,
He is we'll acquainted over the state
and thoroughly conversant with the
legislative needs of the common
wealth. Having considers e
knowledge of the rules and methods Of
the legislature he would be valuable
man as the presiding officer of the
state senate. When seen by a repre-
sentative of the Tribune, Mr.. Demp-
ster said that he considered he had a
very good chance of landing the nom
ination. He further said that he
looked forward to a great Republican
victory in November, both nationally
and in the state, Having recently re-
turned from Chicago, where he at
tended the national convention of the
Modern Woodmen of America. he has
had an excellent opportunity of guag-
ing public opinion. In speaking Of
state affairs. he said that the people of
Idaho were tired of Hawley capers
and Democratic antics, and conse-
quently the outlook for Republican
victory in Idaho is bright indeed.

METHODISTS SAID TO
Be FIGURING ON
The college
Negotiations Are in Progress
For the Sale of the
Institution.
COMMITTEE PAYS VISIT
The Rumor of Purchase is Afloat but
Cannot be Confrmed-The Commits
sion Pays Visit to Magic City in
Order to Look Over the Situation
Appears Pleased.

Caldwell, like all other towns in
this section of the state, wants the
Methodist university that is to be
built. However as Caldwell already
has college it has been proposed
that this institution be converted into
Methodist school, We understand
that negotiations are in progress be-
tween the College of Idaho and the
educational commission of the Meth
odist Episcopal church with a view to
such a change. 1t is easily apparent
that this section of the state will not
support two sectarian colleges and
the sale of the present c. of I. plant
to the Methodists, or its conversion
into such an institution as the Meth
odists want would solve serious
problem and serve all useful purposes.
The educational commission of the
Methodist church visited Caldwell
Wednesday and Thursday. The men,
bers visited the college and looked
the plant over most thoroughly. None
of them would state the plans under
consideration, but they did not hest
tate to express themselves as highly
pleased whit the grounds and build
ings. 1t is needless to say that they
were also we'll pleased with Caldwell
as location for the University.
The College of Idaho people were
not prepared to make a statement
about the matter. They said that the
rumor was afoat but that nothing def
mite could be given out at this time;
and were inclined to discourage any
change in the plans of the college.
The majority of the people of Cald-
we'll and surrounding towns would
not like to see any change at the COL
lege. They want the institution to
grow and develop along the lines laid
out by DR.. w. J. Boone and his as
sociates. The trustees and teachers
a. lHS SoiSSC anu d great lldly Cltl-
zens have worked hard for years to
bring the college to its present high
standard. 1t is now in a position to
grow with the years and the country
On the other hand it is realized that
the establishment of another sectar-
ian school in this section of the state
would injure the college and probably
never amount to much itself.
DR.. Boone, president, is in the east
now on business connected with the
school. Exactly the nature of the
business is not known.
While in Caldwell the educational
commission were entertained by local
Methodists of prominence like Messrs.
R. w. Cakes, O. V. Bailey, H. F.
Wallace and others. The commits
sion has also visited Boise, Nampa
and Payette. The party consists of
DR.. Thomas Nicholson of New York,
DR.. W. c. Evans of San Francisco,
DR.. Barnes of Boise, Rev. Powell of
Caldwell, D. S. Young of Boise, R. S.
Madden of Caldwell and A. l.. Ha-
worth of Payette.

The Candidates for Governor.

While passing through Pocatello
Saturday, Hon. Ruel Rounds, formerly
United States marshal for Idaho, gave
the Tribune of Pocatello an interview
in which he stated that the candidacy
of Hon. John Haines, ex-mayor of
Boise. for the gubernatoriaf nomina-
ton, would be announced next Sun-
day. Mr.. Rounds paid Mr.. Haines a
fine tribute as an executive officer, and

A new mail box was put up at the
