served in all parts Of the city and a
similar activity is said to exist
throughout all the adjacent country.
Within the next 80 or 40 days with
the number of modern residences which
will be commenced added to those now
going up there will be 40 or so modern
residences in course of construction in
the city and it is estimated that the
cost of the buildings going up. OF those
being remodeled and improved and of
those which will soon be commenced,
will approximate $4,000.
Among the modern residences now in
course of construction are those of DR..
Miller, DR.. Haley, J. S. Harrington, H.
Il. Clambey and A. l.. Guest, the last
named having two modern residences
nearing completion. Numerous other
buildings are being remodeled or i'm
proved in some manner.
Through the activity of its live pres
ident and secretary, H. ]. Zeh and M.
HI. Gibbons, the Commercial club is
now reaching out for new industries
industries which will afford the city
adequate pay rolls for the continuance
of the magnificent trade it is now en-
joying with an increase commensurate
with it's growth and development.
These men are going forward in this
purpose with an energy born of pro-
gressiveness. They are systematic If
anything. Within the past IL months,
Secretary Gibbons has sent out over
10000 pieces of literature, descriptive
of Caldwell and its tributary country
and their advantages. An exceeding
ly aggressive campaign is still being
waged with full emphasis given to the
opportunities offered in commercial, in
dustrial and agricultural lines by Cald-
well and its adjacent country. Just at
this juncture, President Zeh and Sec
rotary Gibbons are directing their ef-
forts towards securing a canning fac
tory and condensed milk factory, the
general impression being that Cald-
well offers an unusually attractive
field for these industries. The flour
ing mills of the city are already manu-
featuring cereals. 1t is held that the
opportunity to secure factories is
brighter than at any previous time in
the history of the city through the
abundance of electrical power avail
able for their operation.
The operation of the electric railroad !
out to the Snake river has brought into |
Caldwell's trade territory a vast and
well settled country and it's probable |
extension Is of vast import to the city |
as it means still greater enlargement |
of opportunities in this direction.
Has Big PayroIs.
Secretary Gibbons as has been
stated, is concentrating his efforts upon
the accomplishment of increased pay
rolls for the city, but this does not inn
ply that the city lis not largely the
beneficiary Of payrolls already. To the |
contrary it has a goodly share of such |
benefits now, and something like an |
adequate idea of what they mean to |
the city may be had by the following |
tabulated list of the annual amounts
put into circulation in the city through |
this channels
American Nitrate company, $4,000; |
Caxton Printers, $4,000; Caldwell |
Horse & Mule company, $25,000; Cald- |
well Milling & Elevator company, $780,
000 Oregon Short Line, $4,000; con-
tractors. $4,000; city payroll $4,000; |
Moutain States Telephone & Tele- |
graph company, $4,000; reclamation
service, $4,000; creameries, $4,000; |
Caldwell Traction company, $1,000; I
Troy laundry, $4,000: Auto Machine
shop, $4,000; Electric Investment COM |
pany $4,000; Caldwell Plumbing COM
pany, $4,000; Caldwell Planning mill, |
$5OoO Idaho Milling & Feed company, |
$4,000.
The potash field being developed by |
the American Nitrate company in the |
Homedale district is also to be reck-
oned as one of the strong factors in
the business progress Of this city, all
of its supplies being furnished from
here.
The Commercial club of this city is
probably the only commercial organiza-
ton in the entire northwest which has |
never suspended since it's organization I
or been forced to conduct a reorganiza- |
ton campaign. The charter members /
of the club at the present time num-
Der A. and the present membership is t
302. The club has been a powerful {
factor in the development of Caldwell I
and tributary territory. Instrumental I
in securing the construction of good /
roads through the farming section;
electric railways and devotes large /
part of its energies for the betterment /
of farming and marketing conditions.
A consistent publicity campaign is /
conducted at all times with the object I
of interesting substantial farmers and I
manufacturing plants to utilize the
products of the soil.
