 While we were talking about it my little cousin Mabel, left us without tell ing us where she was going and we

How a SiIn is Filled.

Dear Uncle Jed: Have you ever seen a silo filled? We have a silo that will hold hundred tons of corn.
 In the fall a lot of men come to cut the corn: then they bring their tipcarts and haul it up to the silo. Then the man who is going to fill the silo starts up his engine and begins to cut the corn The corn is cut up in little pieces and is blown into the silo through a long pipe.
 All this makes lot of noise. In- side a man is scattering the corn around and tranping if down. It comes f1uttering down on his head.

IDAHO STATE BAND

PERFORMANCE
Fun, Frolic and Many Local
Hits for Next Monday
and Tuesday.
JANUARY p AND Is
Big Parade Monday at Noon Along
Main Street-Specialties all Good
Songs the Best Heard in City Dur
ing the Season-14-Piece Orchestra
and Full Idaho State Band,

The minstrel performances to be
given by the Idaho State Band will
occur Monday and Tuesday evenings,
January 81, %.
At noon Monday the big parade and
concert will take place along Main
street-tree as the air you breathe.
There is vital touch of interest
about minstrel show by local talent
that, when it is really good, makes it
easily winner. The performers are
people you all know; the hits are on
men with whom you are not only
acquainted but intimate; the proceeds
are for local cause; and last but by
no means least-the prices are reason
able.
From the time the leader of the a.
piece orchestra first taps his baton for
the opening overture until the curtain
is rung down on "A Night Down
South" there is something to please
every man, woman and child in the
house. The overture is medley of
the Remick hits for the season of 1912,
commencing with "My Little Ever
Lovin' Sugar Babe"
Then the "Inmitable Kings of
Mirth" are introduced by the Inter-
4
joke-none coarse, but all pungent
that impels laughter whether you
are the solos. The tenors are men
any audience in the country, the voices
being of the sweet quality and ex-
cellently trained-pure as the notes
from golden bell.
Long after the strains from the bass
solo have died away you will find the
echo ringing in your memory. las
Deep as the Deep Blue Sea" rolls out
in tone fine and full, round and
smooth, and is sure to bring round
after round of applause. The songs
by the endmen are simply great-they
| must be heard to be appreciated, and
the audience is respectfully requested
not to dmand more than ten encores
from each man, as the time is limited
and the men are human-not real
"niggers."
During the intermission the orches-
ira will give the audience real treat
with the best part of the Poet and
Peasant" played as it was never
played before been heard this side OF
-Notus. When it becomes known
that George Handy plays in the or
chestra with that viola of his, the
management will no longer be anxious
about the sale of seats.
The vaudeville numbers in the End
part of the performance are especially
good. 1.-THE Dancing Gabe" in buck
and wing dancing on roller skates is
a number acceptable to the best ly-
ceum bureaus in the whole country.
Oscar Stengle in the second number

not one being anything but the best
in its line.
Tickets will be on sale at the Sara

heavy, so be sure to be on hand in
order to secure a good seat.

MISS MAE WOOD
CHANGES VOCATIONS

The friends of Miss Mae Wood
will no doubt be surprised to learn
that she will shortly sever her con-
nection with Dr. Miller to attend a
Bible school in Seattle.
When approached on the subject,
Miss Wood said that it was with a
feeling of regret at leaving her many
Caldwell friends but after all it was
only for time as she expected to re-
turn shortly, and take up the work OF
assistant Sunday school Missionary.
Miss Wood says that she does not
feel equal to this new field of work
without some preparations so will
take short course in Missionary
training in the Seattle school.

the check. However, when it was

fire APPARATUS
MAKES FIRST RUN

The new higt-power fire apparatus
had its first test in actual service on
Wednesday, shortly before noon,
when it was called to take care of a
small balze at the residence Of Mrs.
Havird, corner of Sixth avenue and
Fillmore street.
There was slight delay caused by
wait for pipe men. The engine, how
ever, made good time to and from the
blaze, which was caused by a defec-
tive fue. The fire was put out with
the aid of the chemical hose, little
damage resulting.
The run of six blocks was made in
excellent time and the engine was
back at headquarters in less than ten
minutes.

Two Bridges Wanted.

Probably no bridge bills ever in
troduced in the Idaho legislature were
more deserving of favorable action
than the bills providing for bridges
across Snake river at Homedale and
Nampa ferry. Here the construction
OF the bridges will be of direct and i'm
mediate benefit to the state. The state
owns over 10000 acres of land in the
Gem Irrigation district. Some months
ago sale was held and two forty acre
tracts were sold at $1,000 per acre. The
construction of the bridges will as
sure an electric railway through the
state land and easily double the value
OF the same. The legislature to appro-
pirate only $6O,00O.OO for the
two bridges. Canyon and Owyhee
coupties and private citizens will raise
the balance which will amount to
about $20,0OO0O. The Tribune is in
formed by men who have matters in
charge that the members of the state
land board are heartily in sympathy
with the movement. They have in
vestigated conditions and realize that
the immediate return to the state will
be at least double the amount the
bridges will cost.
ASIDE from the interests oil the state
the two counties are entitled to help
from the legislature. Idaho has ap-
propriated money at every session of
. the legislature for the construction of
state wagon roads and bridges. Can
yon county is one of the few counties
that have never asked much from the
state. If the past policy be continued
me county should get assistance at
TINS time. The people of both Canyon
and Owyhee counties are working to-
gether on this matter The county
commissioners of Owyhec county
nave nave already appropriated 5000 and
the commissioners of Canyon county
will be asked for an appropriation.

COUNCIL GRANTSTHE

FRANCHISE
Road Will Build Spur North
of Tracks From Third
to Tenth Avenues.
WAREHOUSE DISTRICT
Bids for City Lighting System Will
be Opened Saturday, February the
First-Fire Boys Petition for Pro-
lection from Ravages of Insidious
Insect.

The most important business trans
acted by the city council at its meet
ing Monday evening was the granting
OF franchise to the Oregon Short
Line to construct and maintain a spur
along the alley Immediately north of
the railroad track running from Third
to Tenth avenues.
Some time ago the Short Line was
granted permission to use this alley
for spur but for some reason did
not avail themselves of the privilege.
Recently the Idaho Traction company
applied for franchise to lay tracks
along the alley and the Short Lines
interest was at once aroused
By the terms of the franchise grant
ed Monday the railroad will complete
the work within 90 days. This means
that the warehouse district of Caldwell
will leave Main street and gradually
line up along the new spur. For
some time the careful business men of
the city have regarded the present To-
cation of the city's warehouses as
more or less of fire menace.
In the next few years this franchise
will in all likelihood prove to be very
valuable.
Cars from the electric road will be
charged minimum rate of $l.OC
when switched on the spur.
The presence of representative Of
the Beaver River company brought
up the matter of bids on a CITY street
lighting system.
Bids will be received on basis oil
five and ten year contract from the
two competing companies, for IS arcs
with 60 and 12O incadescent lamps
and system of all arcs.
1t is thought that 120 incadescent
lamps will place lamp on every
street intersection in the resident sec
ton, while the arcs will take care OF
the business section of the city.
The bids will be opened Saturday,
February LIST, at five p. m.
peared before the municipal lords with
request for Improvements in the
quarters of the fire boys. He asked
that somebody be made responsible
for the cleaning of the sleeping quar-
tiers once day and that the horticul-
tural department spray the beds with a
view to determination of the Fire
man weevil, with which the rooms
have become infected. Rules for the
members being thought desirable, the
council directed Mr.. Sovereign and the
men of the fire department to formu-
late set of rules and present to the
council for consideration.
The matter of lockers for the fire.
men will receive attention by the coun-
Gil at once. When the library moves
it is the intention of the city to add
the smaller library room to the fire
quarters, to be used as a reading room.
