HERE'S A CHANCE FOR
AN ENTERPRISING BOY

The following letter was received
yesterday 1t explains itself. Some
of our subscribers may exchange
grasshoppers for coin of the realm.
Editor Tribune:
What | really want is for some en-
terprising lad who is willing to make
a dollar or two, is to get out and
catch some of the nice green crickets
and grasshoppers and securely pack
them in some wet green grass and
properly ventilate the box and mail
me 400 or 500 of them each week for
at least month until the grasshop-
pers arrive here, for this county
abounds with some fine fishing
streams and the big fellows will not
take fly.
| will pay the lad Is cents per 100
for the amount mentioned if he will
ship them to me via parcels post.
This may sound rather funny to
you; but the proposition is legitimate
and will mail remittance for bunch
of them for | want TO experiment a
bit.
Sincerely yours,
WILL NJ. GROVE.

DISTRICT COURT DoINGs

Suit, supposed to be for divorce,
was. filed Monday by Dora Delaney
against Edward Delaney. Papers were
promptly withdrawn.
Notice of demand for new trial was
served Monday by attorneys for the
defendant in the case of S. A. and
J. J. Heilner VS.. Charles Orr. This
suit was heard before a jury 10 days
ago and verdict was rendered for the
plaintiff in the sum of $34l.ll. The
trouble grows out of the sales of
some property by Orr, who is a con-
stable at Nampa, on which the plain
tiffs claimed to have a mortgage. The
defendants, in serving notice of their
demand, claim several errors were
made by the judge in the course of
the hearing.
Judgment was handed down Mon
day in district court, in favor of M
w. Peters in suit against E. f. and
Julia Jackson. The plaintiff sought
damages because of failure of the de-
PENDANTS to live up to an agreement
to exchange properties. Damages
the amount of $3.50, with $25.10 added
for costs, was the award.

Child Burns Residence.

Tuesday noon the residence Of Har-
ry Garner near Midvale was totally de-
stroyed by fire, entailing loss to the
owner of little more than one thou
sand dollars. During the noon hour
the little 6-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Garner went into the yard and,
pilng up lot OF old wall paper that
had been torn from the walls while
the paper hangers were at work, set
fre to it. The wind carried the paper
against the building and half hour
later there was nothing left of the
home but a smoking pile of charred
Goals. There was no insurance on the
building.-Weiser Signal.

CHAUTAUQUA IS HIGHLY
APPRECIATED BY THE
Caldwell PEOPLE

The Chautauqua this season was
eminently satisfactory in every par
ticular. The people of Caldwell and
vicinity were more than pleased with
the series of entertainments given un-
der the management of the Allison
White company. Every number on
every program was firstclass. AS would
be natural some of the entertainers
made greater hits and were more ap-
preciated than ever. The only dis
appointment was in DR.. Hills, who
while splendid, did not come up to
expectations. Perhaps he has grown
little weary, or, perhaps the people
expected too much. The real hit in
Caldwell was Nels Darling, the town
expert and community lecturer. Mr.
Darling did not hesitate at telling the
truth even to self-sufficient Caldwell
Mr.. Darling is refreshing, breezy and
truthful. He told us a number of
things that many had suspected but
hesitated about publicly expressing.
Speakers Good, Music Good, Enter
tainers Good.
The speakers, the musicians, the en-
tertainers, yodlers, sleight-o f-hand
performers, were all highly appreciat-
ed. The Tribune cannot pay the tri-
butte to each to which each is entitled.
The highest tribute that can be paid is
the fact that Caldwell will hold a
Chautauqua next year. The necessary
tickets were subscribed for without
delav and with little trouble. In this
manner the people showed their salts
faction and appreciation.

Appeal in Drainape suit.

Notice of the predicted appeal in

contract with the United States gov
eminent was filed here in distric'
court Monday by the Boise attorneys
who are conducting the fight of ii =
directors, Appeal is taken to the
state supreme court.
1t will be recalled that when the i,
rigation district filed its proceeding
and approval of its proposed cor
tract with the government, the oh
jectors interviewed. After hearing the
arguments, Judge Bryan ruled II
favor of the district on May 20. Mo
ton for new trial was at once er-
tered and this was overruled by the
judge on June 5th.
The contract in question is thar
which authorizes the drainage work
in the Nampa-M Meridian district. TIL
directors, though they have lost o"'
in the lower court, insist that tn :.
have the law on their side and will
prevent the drainage work if nee
sary to carry the matter to the Unit
ed States supreme court.

PREPARATION IS GOING
FORWARD FOR LIBERTY
BELL CELEBRATION

The general committee in charge of
the celebration to be held in Caldwell
Monday, July II, in honor of the
Liberty Bell which is to make a 20
minute stop in this city on that day
met in the Commercial club rooms
Thursday and adopted tentative pro-
gram for the day. The program, as
planned by the committee will include
variety of amusments covering the
entire day and concluding with a
grand ball and band concert at Lake
Lowell at night
The Bell will arrive in Caldwell at 9
a. m, Monday, July II, and will stop
70 minutes. In order to give everyone
an opportunity to view the historic
relic it is probable that the train will
be stopped on Kimball avenue Civ
ing spectators the opportunity of view
ing the Bell from either side of the
track. In addition to the mayor of
Philadelphia and members of the sell
ect and common council the Bell
will be. accompanied by Governor
Alexander.
For the amusement of the visitors
during the day the committee is ar
ranginga complete patriotic program,
including band concerts morning, af-
ternoon and evening, patriotic address
SEES by we'll known orators, base ball
game between clubs of the Idaho-Ore-
| gon league, decorated automobile
parad- with over 100 gaily decorated
machines in line, patriotic songs by a
chorus of school children, band con-
cert and grand ball at Lake Lowell
and many o.her amusing and nave.
features will be provided for the
amusement of the visitors.
AT the meeting of the general COM
mittee chairmen of the various COM
mittees were appointed, the chairman

During the stay of the Bell in the
city Mayor Boyes and members of the
city council will have charge and will
welcome the party and its historic
charge in behalf of the people OF
Canyon county
With the exception of Boise, Ca1d-
we'll is the only city in the state where
the bell is scheduled to stop and the
committee in charge are anxious that
a rd-breaking crowd be on hand
to greet it. 1t is also quite probable
that the bell will never again be al
lowed to leave Philadelphia as one oil
the deciding factors in sending it to
the California fairs was the fact that
it had never been sent west of St
Louis.

to score.
In the seventh a combination OF
walks, errors and hits gave Nampa
runs. In the ninth Caldwell tried des-
perately to start rally and nearly
succeeded, the game ending with two
local MEN on the bases.
Although the local team was defeat
ed the fans are a unit in declaring that
it was the prettiest exhibition of base
ball staged in this section in recent
years The contending teams are
evenly matched and are composed of

the players was a pleasing feature Of
the contest.
