ly question was the time. This could
be materially shortened by the con-
centrated effort and enthusiasm of
the community in assisting the plan
to a successful conclusion.
I'm my opinion the farmer pur-
chasing bond in the proposed issue
will find that it will return him a
larger dividend than a like amount in
vested in dairy herd, because it in
ereases the value of his land $500
per acre the first year," declared E.
n. Plowhead, cashier of the Com
mercial Bank. "The investor in this
case is doing two distinct things" he
continued, "he is receiving a bond
amply secured and bearing a fair rate
of interest which from an individual
standpoint is all that he could ask.
His money however, continues to
work for the community. 1t is help
to the College of Idaho, in that it
broadens its field of operation. 1t
will assist in locating a cannery and
other manufacturing enterprises be-
cause it is instrumental in opening a
trade territory for Caldwell which
now belongs to other communities.
His money is working for the farmer
and the business man every day in
the year and therefore indirectly for
himself"
Enthusiastic talks were also made
by G. H. Turner, Amos J. Miller, w.
G. Cowden, and others.
A motion by w. L. Hasbrouck that
committee of five be appointed to
assume charge of the sale of bonds
in Caldwell and to cooperate with
Wilder and Greenleaf was unanimous
ly adopted. President Lewis appoint
ed w. L. Hasbrouck, w. G. Cowden,

DIRECTORS MAY OPPOSE
SALE OF RAILROAD

The December meeting of the board
of directors of the Payette- Boise
Water Users association was held
Tuesday. At this meeting the matter
of the sale of the Arrowrock railway
came up for discussion. 1t was final
ly decided that vote on the PROPOSE
ton be taken at the January meeting
of the board. 1t transpired that the
effort to sell the railroad had been
made without the knowledge or con-
sent of the water users of the pro-
ject. A number of the directors are
of the opinion that It is unwise to sell
the railway for the small sum that
can be realized at this time.
To Urge Land Sale.
A letter from Register Hale of the
state land board was read, setting the
time at which the board will confer
with the water users committee rela-
tive to a big sale of lands the state
holds under the project at 2 o'clock
on the afternoon of January 3. 1t
was made plain that the committee
will urge that the sale be held this
coming spring, in order that purchas-
ers may go on the land and start to
develop it during the season of 1916.
The committee on the matter of
securing free public range for set
tiers of the project made a verbal re-
port of progress. The report indi-
Gated that opposition to the plan will
be strongly developed in certain quar-
tiers, and the water users were urged
to be ready to help fight the proposal
through congress.
Sympathy for Weymouth.
Resolutions expressing warm SYM
pathy for Project Engineer Wey-
hopes for his speedy recovery were
unanimously passed by the assembled
directors.

HANN'S JUBILEE SINGERS
AT BUNGALOW THEATRE
Colored Talent Will Play Caldwell
December gath.

Hams Jubilee Singers will play at
the Bungalow theatre Friday even
ing, December "a. In presenting
Hams Jubilee Singers, the manage
ment offers one of the finest com
panies of colored talent ever organ
lied. They are a well-trained, long
experienced combination. What the
public is demanding today is variety.
and we believe Hams Jubilee Sing
ers to be the most versatile of its
kind, singing music of all grades,
from the old plantation jubilee to
grand opera. The humorous part is
of the most refined and wholesome
type. Special features of Mr.. Hams
company are Nine. Florence Cole
Talbert, soprano, and w. P. Talbert,
'cellist. Each of the seven cultured
ladies and gentlemen in this remark
able organization being a person of
education and fine musical training,
their success is an assured fact.

WILL USHER IN
A NEW ERA OF
PROSPERITY

The advent of Prosperity Year
will be tittingly celebrated this year
by the citizens of Caldwell and tribu-
tary territory. ]. S. Harrington,
chairman of the Commercial Club en-
tertainment committee is arranging
an elaborate program to properly OBJ
serve the demise of 1915 and the
ushering in of 1916 variously describ-
ed as Prosperity Year." State Wide
Prohibition Year" and Leap Year"
That the people of Caldwell and
vicinity have ample grounds for look
ing forward to 1916 as the year OF
years is the opinion of Mr. Harring-
ton and the club members in gem
eral. The present year has amply
demonstrated the great future that
lies before this country. Bumper crops
were harvested by the farmers and
Caldwell furnished ready cash mar
ket for the products. The coming
year will eclipse the present in many
ways. Additional acreage tributary
to the city will be placed under cult
walton; plans for the erection of
cannery; the electrihcation Of the
Wilder branch and other public ne
cessities are we'll under wav and will
doubtless be brought to a successful
conclusion during the new year.
The tentative program as outlined
by Mr.. harrington includes a masked
Mardi Gras on the business streets;
confetti battles, dancing and other
features to be announced later. The
streets will be brilliantly ilumin-
ated and all business houses requested
to appropriately decorate their win
dows. Assisting Mr.. Harrington in
arranging plans for the celebration
are the following:

published in newspaper in this city
what purportcd to be a portion OF
the report of the register above refer
red to. The whole board was
agreed that the report should be care
fully considered and checked before
publication thereof.
In the portion of the report pub
hShed, some conclusion was had in
reference to the failure of Mr.. Dav to
file a bond and take oath of office; in
regard to his management of certain
land business without the immediate
direction of the board, and in regard
to the system of records kept in Mr..
Days Office.
In justice to Mr.. Day, the board
desires to state that if there is any
laxness in the system in use in Mr..
DAYS Office, the board is responsible
for it and not Mr.. Day, and that if Mr..
Day should have given a bond and
taken the oath, and has not done so,
this alone is the fault of the board,
and this was SO stated in Mr.. Hale's
report.
There is no disposition on the part
of the board to withhold from the
public anything that is done in the
state land department, and everything
is done in the open white light of pub
licity, and in this all members of the
board are in accord"

GRAND OPERA SINGERS.

This city is to have the privilege of
hearing the most exceptional opera
tic company consisting of four great
singers who have won their laurels in
European and American grand opera.
They have with them Denmarks
greatest virtuoso and one of Ameri-
cas- hnest concert pianists. They will
be at the Huree theatre on Monday,
december 81.
Skovgaard. the celebrated Danish
violinist, travelling with this company
is one of the worlds famous vir-
tuosos. The violin which Skovgaard
will use for this engagement is a
thirteen thousand dollar Stradivarius
and the same on which he has played
before most of the crowned heads of
Europe. He will present 10 Ameri-
can audiences a number of new Scan
dinavlan compositions. However, his
program will be varied and will not
fail to please the most critical.
The soprano of the company,
Florence Hawkins. late of the Chi
cago Opera Co., has been known as
the Maud Adams of the operate stage;
for her charming personality has com
bined most favorably with her won
derful voice to make her one of the
prime favorites of the Metropolitan
opera season.
Vienna has lost one of its most
remarkable contraltos in the person
of Molly Byerly Wilson, now touring
with the New York Metropolitan Co.
When Miss Wilson heard of the tour
to the Panama-Paciic exposition at
San Francisco, the company being
now on its way east after its tour to
the fair, she seized the opportunity to
join the other artists in order to see
the American continent. 1t is said
that this contralto has the deepest
known female voice. She will sing
her dramatic arias in the original
operate costume.
Clara Freuler, the mezzo-soDrano
OF the company, never fails to win the
hearts and admiration of her au-
diences by her wonderful interpreta-
ton of the folk songs of her native
country, Switzerland. These won
derful interpretations combined with
one of the rarest of mezzo voices and
charming personality create a sensa-
ton wherever she appears.
Francis w. Cowles, baritone, poss-
esses one of the most remarkable male
voices on the operate stage. His en-
unciation is perfect and his dramatic
representations render him one of the
most deft and facile of actors.
The orchestral effects are produced
for this company by Alice McClung,
pianist and soloist. She has been in
the habit of doing first operate re-
hearsals for many years, substituting
the entire orchestra, though she is
perhaps better known for her ac-
complished interpretations of the
wonderful List compositions
The program will consist of selec-
tions from favorite operas, several of
which will be sung in costume The
program cannot fail to please the ear
of all; there will be the light and gay,
the serious and sad. selections from
the masters presented with that delic-
acy and accuracy which are the off
spring of both genius and study
This remarkable musical organiza-
ton has been engaged for only one
performance and the price of the tic
kets will be 25c to $1.O0. The tickets
will be on sale at Greenlund's Drug
Store commencing Thursday, De
cember 23.-Adv.
