BORAH HAS HOPES THAT
GOVERNMENT WILL
TAKE UP PROJECT

MIR, Tallmadge of New York City,
writes Senator Borah with refer
encc to the Black Canyon Dis
trict, and the following is a copy of
the reply written by Senator Borah
to Mr.. Tallmadge:
Washington, d, c., Feb, 8. 1915.
My dear Mr.. Tallmadge:
! have your letter of recent date
in which you discuss the Black Can
yon project and give it as your view
that the governments taking hold of
it ought to be discouraged You say,
If the officers of the district had di-
rect from you your opinion of this
matter | think it would serve to set
tie the question. You refer in this. Of
course. to my opinion to the effect
that there is no likelihood that the
government will do anything in re-
gard to the Black Canyon. | am not
in position to say this to the set
tiers. While it may take some time
to get relief from the government and
while the government may not act
as quickly as it ought to in good
conscience and humanity | am by no
means convinced that it will not act
and | am not therefore in a position
to say to the settlers that the govern
ment will not take hold of it.. OF
course if the settlers should decide
to ia e up the question of individual
or private enterprise and should come
to the conclusion that that was to
their best interests | would hope for
he best whatever hey might do. But
| feel that it is my duty to urge with
all my might the action upon the
part OF the government and | sincere
ly feel that there are just reasons for
believing that the government will
take hold of it. do not see how the
government can refuse to take hold
OF it. 1t seems unconscionable that
they would be building railroads in
Alaska, buying ships to cross the sea
and such things and not provide
homes for those people who are there
upon the land and have been making
every sacrifice in the world to get
their homes. As I said before, it NAV
take longer than it ought to take but
| am not in position, Mr.. Tallmadge,
to say that the government will not do
so. On the other hand | believe that
it will do So"
The remainder of the letter has to
do with certain power proposition.

IN CHARGE OF CAKES BROS.
MILLINERY DEPARTMENT

Miss Phrona Palmer Of Chicago,
direct from one OF the largest rHercan-
tile establishments in that city, has
come to Caldwell to take exclusive
charge of Cakes Bros. Millinery De-
partment.
Miss Palmer has an exceedingly
pleasing personality, and has hEd a
wide experience in her line of en-
dearvor.
Before coming to our city she
spent some eight weeks in Eastern
millinery centerS acquainting herself
with all that is new and up-to-the-
minute in millinery, also buying the
many exclusive accessories pertaining
to the maintenance of a department
that will merit the patronage OF the
people of our community.
Cakes Bros. tell us that Miss Pal
mer is now ready to greet their many
friends and customers with the first
showing of New Spring Millinery, and
that from now until Easter new stuffs
will be arriving continuously. They
also report that Miss Palmer is well
qualified to trim hats to meet the in
.dividual needs OF every face, having
come to them highly recommended
from large mercantile establishments
in both Denver and St. Louis.

News Snapshots
Of the Week

tered the confines of the camp the
shouts of the multitude and the thund-
ering of artillery gave note to the
enemy beleaguared in Boston Of his
arrival. His military reputation had
preceded him and excited great ex-
pectations. They were not disappoint-
ed. His personal appearance notwith-
standing the dust of travel was calcu-
lated to captivate the public eye "**
The intelligent and accomplished wife
of John Adams, who was present,
wrote her husband Dignity, ease, and
cOmplacency, the gentleman and the
soldier looked agreeably blended in
him. Modesty marks every line and
feature of his face
On the 3rd of July the morning
after his arrival at Cambridge, Wash
ington took formal command of the
army. 1t was drawn up on the com
mon about half a mile from head
quarters. A multitude had assembled
there, for as yet military spectacles
were novelties, and the camp was full
OF visitors, men, women and children
from all parts of the country, who had
relatives among the yoemen soldiery.
An ancient elm is still pointed out,
under which Washington, as he ar
rived from headquarters accompanied
by General (Charles) Lee and a
numerous suite, wheeled his horse,
drew his sword as commander-in-ch chief
of the armies"
We may thank God that the man
chosen was not old Artemus Ward or
John Hancock of Massachusetts,.
Ward had made a good reputation as
a soldier in the colonial wars, and
was trusted by the New England men,
but his age was against him, and he
had the good sense to accept the
choice of congress. Hancock was
a rich Boston merchant who knew
only the muster-day soldering of war
We may be profoundly thankful that
Charles Lee, who was with Washing
ton, was not the man; he was not of
| the Virginia Lees, but of an English
| family and had seen service in their
army; he became jealous of Washing
! ton, worked against him, and by his
incompetence or treachery probably
the latter lost the battle of Monm outh
Yes, let it be repeated over and
over: Washington's patience, ability
inspiring his army privates and offic-
ers, brought the Revolution to a sue
cessful close; and then, with the
hearts of the army and people, he re-
tired to private life; just one of the
people. Then at their call assisted in
forming the Federal Union, left his
beloved Mt. Vernon for the Presi-
dency, and when reelected served
wisely, and refused a second re cleo
ton An example of belief in demo
cracy and confidence in the people
that has inspired the world.

GREAT HALL GAME
SUCCESS At HUREE

After running for seven months in
New York and five months in Chi
cago scoring the greatest success in
the moving picture world to date.
The Christian" will be seen at the
Huree, Caldwell, Monday and Tues
day.
Held back from the smaller cities
by prohibitive royalties. "The Chris
tian" is now secured for this city by
special arrangements with the owners
Of the film.
This drama. The Christian" runs
the complete gamut of human emo
ton. AS a book it made fame and
fortune for its author, Hall Game AS
legitimate drama it furnished Viola
Allen the best vehicle she ever pos
sessed and in her eight years of pre-
sentation Of the tantalizing character
of Glory Quayle" she scored the sue
cess of her stage career.
1t has been no less successful as a
moving picture. The Vitagraph-
! Liebler company expended $4,000
and many months Of hard work in the
production of the film; 5000 persons
were employed in the cast and 500
distinct pictures are given.
| But the producers did not stop even
with this. The best talent known to
the moving picture world was en-
ployed in the portrayal of this drama
Edith Storey takes the part of Glory
Quayle" and Earle Williams is alto
gether admirable in the part of John
Storm" who approaches in the drama
so dangerously near to religious
fanaticism. Other parts are we'll car
ried by such film stars as Ed. NJ. Kim
ball, Harry Northdrup, Donald Hail.
Charles Kent, Wilton Lackaye James
Morrison Carlotta De Felice and AL
berta Gallatin.
The Christian loses nothing in be-
ing transferred to the screen. In it
life the highest and lowest, in the
weltering Babylon of London is clear
ly portrayed. The mimicry of Glory,
the villainy of Lord Ure, the fanati-
cism of Storm, the fury Of the Derby
Day mob, the fiery enthusiasm of
Paul, the suffering of Polly, the beau
tiful character Of Father Lampugh,
the final triumph of love-all are
portrayed with wonderful fidelity and
art
There may be higher triumphS than
THE Christian" in the production of
films in the future; but to date it
holds the first rank-it is the last
work in the moving picture art

MAD OR PECULIAR
COYOTE At HANNAH'S

Tuesday about midnight coyote
caused quite i disturbance at the
ranch OF V. ID. Hannah, near the city
The ranch dogs attacked the ami
NAL and in a few miutes men armed
with guns were on hand. The coyote
escaped and the men found no evil
dence of any of the farm animals hav-
ing been bitten; the boys, however,
were bitten in several places, and
are now securely chained to await
developments.
Mr.. Hannah says he is not sure the
coyote had rabies, but if he wasn't
mad, he was certainly peculiar.

BIG RABBIT DRIVE
! NEXT WEDNESDAY

Arrangements have been completed
for the biggest rabbit drive of the
year to take place south of the lower
dam of the Deer Flat Reservoir on
Wednesday. March 3rd. The drive
will cover some five sections OF land
systematically and will close at the
lake shore mile above the dam
The primary object of the drive
is the killing of rabbits that are re-
ported more numerous than in any
OF the neighhoring districts, but ano-
Their big object is to clean this terri
tory of COYOTES, Thirteen coyotes
were seen in one bunch on this
ground, aud this drive will be so
handled as to keep all the game cor
raled clear to the lake shore.
], T.. BaylcSS is in charge of the
arrangements and together with six
mounted licutenants. each in charge
of a division of hunters, will conduct
the drive in the most effective man
ner.
Cars will leave Caldwell at 7th
street over the Caldwell Traction line
at HOO am. Teams will convey all
hunters to their stations. An excel.
lent free lunch will be served and
teams will return all the hunters to
the Pavilion station after the drive.
These drives are wonderfully bene,
fetal to the ranchers who suffer rab,
bit and coyote damage. Also they
furnish the most exciting sport OBJ
tainable for the hunters. Do not fai
to be on hand to do neighborlN
kindness while having an immens,
days sport.
