Real cheese from the seeds of tree
(Treculi Africana) is the peculiar
product made by negroes of the KAN
erun region in Western Africa. A Ger
man witness of the process states that
the seeds are first cooked, then shelled
and crushed into a thin pasty mass
favored with pepper. freed from liquid
by draining. and finally nodded into
grayish-white cakes. These cakes are
-ripened like ordinary cheese. With
time the color changes to yellow, then
to brown, and the taste alters from a
flavor very unlike cheese to a distinct
sour, and finally becomes that Of
strong cheese. The ripening is found
to be due to tn same bacterial changes
that yield the changes Of cheese from
milk.

Who got the Governor? Caldwelrs
best men were there a good share of
the time. One of Caldwells ex-may-
ors and a leader in the Republican
party, man of no small calibre: pol
itically told me: You have a fight on
your hands" Is it any wonder that
Fargo people are sore?
We have no personal grudge against
any individual in Caldwell, but If the
bunch of men who do things" call
that the right way to do things and
think it is the proper way to advance
good fellowship and promote peace
and good feeling, | have another guess
coming. There were several inter
pretations to your editorial caldwell
In Bad" Some thought that the peo-
pie of Caldwell did not think they
were getting the trade from Fargo
that they should, and in their replys
answered that. Others were feared
with the men at the head of every
good cause in Fargo, men who are re-
cognized to be able throughout the
county. Men who are called upon
when any public good is to be done.
Men who are the backbone and brains
of the community and measured thus:
men, by their own little insignifence,
self standards; referred to these men
as would be politicians, poor sticks"
active, worthy and ambitious men"
who could be happy if they were in
the payroll of Canyon county.
These men as stated are re-
spected and each one carries more
weight than a carload of such as
those who wrote some of those letters.
AS | am out of the Fargo com
munity and have not been hobnobbing
with the Homedale bunch for year,
there was nothing that reflected on
the personality Of anyone and take
the opportunity to clear up some of
the shadows that seem to hang about
few of our citizens who always at the
helm when anything is to be done
The county division will come and
when it does Caldwell will know from
whence it cometh.

JAMES BRUNER

80 chgets mixed from the time il
happens until it gets into the press
that 1t seems very appropriate to make
few statements to TIN point
The Tribune of recent issue publish
ed an editorial entitled Caldwell In
Bad, that was replied to by the
citizens of Fargo.
In the first place, the editor of The
tribune was not actually at the head
OF The Tribune at the time the Home
dale Bridge Bill was passing the State
Legislature. So to clear up some Of
the questions and throw some light
on the subject l will say;
The people of Homedale and Fargo
conceived the idea that a bridge at
Homedale would do away with the
terry and put Fargo nearer a railroad
station. The first move was an inter
view with J. NJ. Haines, Harry Davis
and myself. When introduced by Mr..
Smelzel of Boise, a personal friend of
the Governor, we were all encouraged
and Mr.. Smelzel was so enthused that
he hit me on the back as we walked
out of the Capitol building and said:
You have the bridge if you can get
OPiiolAOlP lin OuRH the IeRlS-
lature." Mr.. Wood of Ho,nedale. and
myself were chosen to 90 to Silver
City and get an appropriation from
Owyhee county. We did, and $4,000
is what Owyhee did for us.
Then Caldwell got busy. They
sprung a two-bridge scheme, but they
found it would not work. They laid
several traps for US but we would not
bite. They tried to get a bill intro
duced for another bridge up the river,
but could not. Thos. Tarr and L. l.
Magee were on the grounds all the
time and the lower house passed our
bill with twelve votes against us.
Then Caldwell got very busy-A
bunch of men who do things, respect
ed men who are prominent in every
move in Caldwell stopped so low as
to steal the Appropriation while it
was in the senate committee and
moved the bridge up the river; again
Tarr and Magee saved the bill. 1t
went to the senate and passed with
two decenting votes. The Governor
vetoed it, even after his personal
friend, Mr.. Smelzel had said: a
know the Governor to be a man of
his word"

ADDITIONAL LIGHT FROM
FARGO ON COUNTY
DIVISION
Fargo, Ida, May 5, 1914.

arSO, 1Qd., May }, lSlf.
Editor of The Tribune:-The sur
prise which your last weeks Fargo
correspondents expressed was not so
great as the surprise felt in reading
their letters Especially Mr.. Pear
sons effort. He referred to schools
and the interest that should be taken
in them; yet only a short time ago
he opposed the formation of joint
rural high school on the ground that
he did not want to pay taxes for that
purpose until his own children were
old enough to attend.
Mr. Pearson opposed the building
of bridge between Fargo and Home
dale for which state aid was asked of
the last legislature.
Mr.. Pearson solicited other Fargo
residents to write letters similar to
his, but they did not all respond.
1t is a fact that Mr.. Pearson has
invariably opposed every move that
has been made for any public inn
provement in his home community.
Mr.. Pearson offers a bit OF advice to
Caldwell merchants although he buys
the greater part of his supplies in
Kansas City.
| do not understand what is meant
by his sarcastic reference to the un-
employed talent in Fargo unless our
neighbor, Mr.. Pearson, intends to run
for office in the coming election.
The whole of the Pearson article
is Misrepresentation and an absolute
falsehood from the beginning to the
end.

Fargo, Ida, May 5, 1914.
Editor Tribune see in last
weeks Tribune letters from five diff
ferent residents of Fargo represent
ing that 900 of Fargo is opposed to
county division, which, judging from
the sentiment of mass meeting held
last Saturday night, is not fact. In
fact, the writer's of those five letters
are about all the opposition we have
found in Fargo. They were person
ally requested to be present at said
meeting and Mr.. Beal was the only
one who came to stand by what he
had written, and before the meeting
was over he expressed himself in ia
vor of county division.
The people of Fargo have no ha-

for a bridge at Homedale, but who
actually fought the measure in an un-
derhand manner

Editor Caldwell Tribune:-Among
the letters from Fargo people in last
weeks Tribune l noticed one from
Z. f. Burdick in which he called the
people who are interested in county
division Poor Sticks" Most of the
people OF this community do not usu-
ally roast their neighbors for their
opinions but they do commonly call
Mr.. Burdick "Sal"-a side light on
his personality.
