CALDWELL COUNTRY
zEH LOOKS FORWARD TO
YEAR OF ACTIVITY IN CALDWELL

gular development work the club will
cooperate with the state in advertis-
ing the state land sales to be held dur
ing February and April. The land
sales will assure several hunderd new
families in Caldwell's trade territory.
An effort is being made to revive
the commercial club at Nampa. The
Junction City folks plan to place the
dues at $3.50 a month and to employ
a secretary.
| But three commercial clubs in Idaho
have survived the chilly winds of the
last few winters, viz: Boise, Pocatello
and Caldwell
President Zeh has added three per-
manent committees. City Affairs,
Public Building, and Idaho State Fair,
to the clubs roster
The immigration committee will
meet next week for the purpose of
adopting a definite program for the
year. The amusement committee met
last night for the same purpose
The division of work among active
committees increases the efficiency Of
commercial organizations 100 per cent,
according to recognized authorities on
civic organizations. The committee
plan has long been a feature of the
local commercial club.
The three-day Nampa Harvest Fes-
tlval cost the merchants of Nampa in
cash and special premiums approx
mately $4,000. The amount was rails
ed by popular subscriptions, automo-
bile rattle and the balance left from
the 1914 show. With the submission
of the report the entire executive
board resigned The amount expend-
ed by the festival board including ST.
7O3 paid to Irwin Bros. Wild West
show. The net loss to the committee
on this one event was approximately
$1,000.
The Idaho State Fair was success
fully conducted without county aid
and without the merchants being ask
ed to contribute dollar in cash or
special advertising. A record to be
proud Of. And by the same token the
1916 State Fair will be bigger and
better and with favorable weather self
supporting.
w. L. Hasbrouck, chairman of the
electric line committee, reports that
the sale of bonds is progressing
rather slowly. The Greenleaf section
has practically signed $500 and the
Wilder section about the same. The
country committee will begin an active
campaign this week. Cecil Peckham
of Wilder is confident that the coun
try will raise the sum apportioned to
it.
The State Fair committee will meet
in the club rooms tonight. Committee
men are urged to attend

Nineteen Sixteen will be banner
year for Caldwell and vicinity in the
estimation of H. J. Zeh, president OF
the commercial club. Business con-
ditions everywhere are rapidly improv-
ing and nowhere will general revival
in trade conditions be felt more
quickly and substantially than in
Caldwell.
During the last few years Cald-
well, like other communities in the
west, has gone through period of re-
adjustment of it's business affairs" de-
clares Mr. Zeh, but unlike many of
our neighbors we have emerged stron-
ger and are at the present time in a
! position to successfully conclude mat
tiers of community development that
have lain dormant because of the fin
concerns are built on a solid founda-
ton and this solidarity has attracted
more than local attention Wholesal-
ers the country over declare that this
city is one of the few in the entire
country where the majority of mer-
| chants discount their bills.
During the past year this city was
of the few in the northwest to show
substantial progress" he continued,
and it is my belief that the present
year will witness an era of sane devel-
opment which will prove surprising to
even the most optimistic.
This winter has demonstrated that
it will be necessary to erect a large
number of modern residences this year
to handle the natural increase in popu-
lation. Desirable houses have been
practically unobtainable during the
fall and winter despite the fact that
nearly twenty-five new homes were
built in 1915. In this connection it is
noteworthy that the houses erected
last year were all modern bespeaking
the faith of the builders in the flu
ture of the city.
in addition to extensive building
operations in the city the sale of state
lands in the Boise project; the electri-
lcation of the Wilder branch; a we'll
authorized hope that actual construc-
ton work will be started on a por-
ton of the Black Canyon, and other
matters of less importance, will GER
talnly give residents of Caldwell and
vicinity ample reason for long remem-
berlng Sweet Sixteen" Mr.. Zeh CON
