What lie a Fair Rate2

We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim to
know much about 1t. but If the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that II come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory TO the farm We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase. for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat. and farm
err who win not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden OF increase.
The increase in rates should be SO
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part Of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
In other states and countries and
who feeds his stock In foreign lands.
pay the price Of his folly.

CALDWELL CATTLE co.
PLACING STOCK ON FARMS
Has Distributed Cattle to Value of
100000 in Two Years.

The Caldwell Cattle Company has
placed on the farms of Canyon and
adjoining counties cows, feeders and
bulls to the value of 100000 during
the past two years. This stock is
sold on time-from six months to two
years is given the buyer in which to
pay-dependent upon the class of
stock he purchases.
Some few years ago it became ap-
parent to the business men of Cald-
well and the leading farmers of the
surrounding country that the stocking
OF the farms of the surrounding coun-
try was becoming a necessity. In
Novemb Der 1913 Mr. H. w. Dorman
proceeded to organize a company to
operate upon plans which he had
worked out. The details of the plans
OF the company are known to all who
are interested. These plans have
worked out most successfully as is
shown by the number and value of the
cattle which have been placed on our
farms.
Elsewhere in this issue of The Tri-
bune is statement by Mr.. Dorman to
the effect that the company is again
able to place stock on time. This will
be gratifying to a number of our
farmers. The financial condition OF
the country was such that for a while
the company was unable to finance its
business along the line originally in

WIN. MARCH PAYS OUT $4,000
PER YEAR FOR POULTRY
December Purchases Ran Close to
Three Thousand Dollars,

William March, our leading poultry
dealer, pays out upwards of $4,000
per year for poultry and eggs. The
month of December was unusually
heavy and during that month MI.
March paid out $4,000 to the poultry
growers of Caldwell and vicinity.
Mr.. March has under consideration
the erection and installation of
model cold storage plant
for his own use. He is
confident that the poultry bust
ness will grow in this section and he
is preparing to take care of the in
creased production. He is also think
ing of putting in supply of poultry
feed, accessories, etc. He is firmly
convinced that there is good money in
poultry in this country if rightly
handled. The producers are getting
to understand the business better
every year. This together with cheap
feed the greater portion of the wear
and an ideal climate will soon make
the production of poultry one of the
leading industries of he Boise Valley.

ing to martialize due to the fact of an
additional charge Of $3.50 upon each
round trip ticket from Missouri river
points via Idaho. This is a
great handicap. Thousands of
visitors who contemplated pas.
sing through Idaho and Oregon
will never pay the additional price of
$3.50 while it is possible to get a
$1,000 round trip via the southern
routes. Hence we as citizens must
put forth extra efforts in order to get
a fair share of home seekers.
Fellow citizens, in my judgment we
should get busy Every man, woman
and child, regardless of his or her oc-
cupaton or politics is interested in
getting more people here to cultivate
our lands. Election is over. Prosper
ity is ours if we work harmonously to-
gether. Let us get a part Of what is
due this rich land of our adoption.

DIR. ISHAM REFUSES
TO GIVE OUT INFORMATION

Some of our readers might be sur
prised that there is nothing in this
issue of the Tribune about the Idaho
Feed and Milling company, Of which
DR.. A. f. Isham is the chief owner.
We had no intention Of sighting this
mill and asked DR.. Isham for such
data and information as he had avail

brief REVIEW Of CALDWELLS INDUSTRIES FOR THE PAST YEAR,
CALDWELL MILL PAYS
FARMERS ONE MILLION
A YEAR FOR WHEAT

The largest and most important in
dustrial plant in Caldwell is the -four
mill of the Caldwell Milling & Eleva-
tor company. This mill is one of the
largest in the west. The company
which owns the mills, owns and oper-
ates mills and elevators in different
sections of Idaho, Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado and Oregon.
This mill pays to the farmers of
Idaho and adjoining states $l,0O0OOO
per year for grain. Grain is shipped
here from all parts of southern Idaho
and eastern Oregon TO be manufac-
tured into -four and feed. Twenty
men are employed at the mill the year
around.
The manager of The Caldwell llill-
ing & Elevator company is Mr.. B. M.
Holt, who has also the management
of all the mills and elevators owned
and operated by his company in the
state Of Idaho.
The first Touring mill was built by
Mr. S. S. Foote of Middleton. After
operating for several years the mill
burned down. The ground was sold
to Mr.. R. Brett, who built -four mill
less than a year later. This mill too
burned down. After the fire the pres
ent company bought the site. This
mill is several times larger than either
of its predecessors.

land last year paid the farmers of this
part of the Boise valley 500, $1,000 for
cream, milk, eggs and poultry, Of
which amount Approximately $4,000
was paid for eggs. This company
shipped out the first full carload Of
eggs ever shipped from Caldwell
Since that shipment several full car
load shipments have been made.
The Hazelwood Creamery company
is the largest concern of its kind in
the northwest. 1t has creameries at
Caldwell, Spokane, Portland and a,
other points in oregon and Wash

LOOK & BURNS ARRANGE FOR
MEETINGS THROUGH VALLEY
They Plan to Interest Business Man
and Farmer.

Mcssrs. John Look and L. H, Burns
are holding meetings in the school
houses throughout the country for
the purpose of arousing interest on
the part of farmers in their plan for
inducing immigration and investment
here. They have arranged a schedule
OF meetings which follows. The Tri-
bune urges the people to attend these
meetings and learn the details of the
plans. Briefly these gentlement ask
the farmers to agree to pay $l.OO per
acre on any land that thew sell.
Messrs. Look and Burns will advertise
the country in the east; bringing peo-
pie and capital out here without cost
to the farmer unless he makes a sale
of land.
1t is admitted that the plan of adj
Vertslng is the best that has been

All that is asked Of the land owners

CALDWELL IS GREATEST
HORSE MARKET
IN THE WEST

The Turner Horse Market is one OF
the largest business interests of its
kind in the west 1t does annually a
business which totals $300,000 The
business is owned and operated by
Messrs. c. H. Turner, J. A. Haley and
Smeed Brothers Some idea of the
extent OF the business done at this
market may be gained from the fact
that it requires IS tons of hay per day
to feed the horses and mules in the
corrals. The market pays to the
farmers of this section $1,000 per
month for hay alone.
During the last 90 days 600 head
of horses have been sold at this mar
ket to the United States and British
governments, and other buyers.
The Turner Horse Market was es-
tablishcd in this city about II years
ago by Mr.. Turner Mr.. Haley re-
presented the firm in the cast for a
number Of years. Finally this end OF
the business became so important
that Mr. Haley moved to Caldwell
and has virtually spent all his time
here during the past few years.
Messrs. Smeed brothers became
identified with the firm two years ago
and since that time have devoted
themselves entirely to this market.
Prior to that they were engaged in
business in Boise but found that Cald-
we'll had become the market of the
state and it was useless to try to do
business at Boise.
The establishment of the Turner
Horse Market was the beginning Of
the horse and mule business of this
city. This market contracts for and
ships horses all over the United Sta
ties and Europe 1t has the reputa-
tion Of being the most reliable com
pany in the west

nc ydTuS nave now been leased by
the Caldwell Horse & Mule company.
This company will conduct the sales
in the future. Manager Smeed is con
hdent that the sales this year will
greatly exceed those of the year past.
The company proposes 10 make Cald-
well the leading horse and mule mar
ket of the west The Oregon Short
Line has made arrangements to feed
at this point as these yards are the
best and most commodius on its Ida
no lines.
The Union Stock Yards company
was organized by Messrs. C. H. Tur-
ner, D. G, Ruby James Ford, Smeed
Bros, and J. L. Baker and local bust
ness men who gave some moral and
financial support during the early
days OF the enterprise.
The Caldwell Horse & Mule Com
pany is composed of Messrs. Turner,
Haley and Smccd Bros. John Smeed
is the manager of the company and
Will have charge of all business at the
