Well. Mr.. Riddle is dead. Three
days before, the Hired Man saw Mr..
Riddle, hat in hand, solemnly carrying
his share of the CORPSE of Henry Cox.
Today lie has slipped from him and
he is a corpse. | think the preacher
said something in that funeral SER
mon about all the old timers being on
the lookout for the last call. Mr.. Rid
die was ready. He has lived for many
years in that good state of heart-life
that made him safe. If piece of star
had broken off any time during the
last score of years and had crushed
him into the earth hundred feet, it
would have been we'll with his soul.
1t is we'll with him now. Yonder be-
yond Orion, off to his left Jupiter, over
there to his right, the Pleiades with
the seven daughters of Atlas before his
gaze, Saturn his footstool, the kindly
neighbor is eternally at rest. After
II, it is well to go after his fashion.
Just in the happiest sunniest hour of
his declining years, when hope sees
the solemn Joy of the vision sunset,
and the rosy hue gives way to the cool
gray twilight OF the day. night chasing
the radiance Of the happy afternoon
off the scene with the laughing of the
stars filling earth and heaven with rap
ture, he folded his arms across breast
of pure and simple life, the angels on
the reception committee over on the
other side shouted across the way,
Come on, now" and this section of
life was at an end | cannot make
him dead, for he is not dead. l. cannot
make him sleep, for he is not sleeping,
cannot see whv it was he instead of
Mr.. Ball, or Mr.. Morrow, or Mr..
kincaid, or Mr.. West. or Mr.. Scott,
or any of the score of other patriarchs
who have laid aside their carbureters
and spark plugs and are waiting for
the last turn in the road. The Hired
Man misses all these people who have
crossed the river Styx in the past few
years. Some of them, all unconscious
of it, have inspired me. have looked
to them -as the fathers of this new
hewn-out Israel of ours. have
thought, will l reach their mile
stone on the road?" We will lay him
away and dry the unnecessary tears
and the six faithful fellow townsmen
who carry his precious body to its last
resting rlace will earn for themselves
a like human courtesy

TR|BUNE'S POSITION ON
PROPOSED DISTRICT
FULLY JUSTIFIED
, Homedale, Ida, May %, 1916.

Homedale, Ida, May g. 1916.
Editor Caldwell Tribune.
Dear Sir wish to beg little space
in The Tribune for few remarks re-
garding the Boise-Payette project.
The Tribune is positively correct in
the stand it has taken, make haste
10 go SLOW" But | believe the Tri-
bune would still be just as correct and
go much further. The money that has
been expended upon these works near
ly all came from the public land and
should remain in the land. These
people should pay this back no more
than the commercial interests should
pay back the money expended upon
the rivers and harbors.
The Tribune is somewhat in error
as to the cost per acre of the project.
Mr.. D. w. Ross in his report to the
directors of the project reported the
cost at $26.55 the acre. While one
section or unit may cost more another
costs less, but this is the general av-
erage, and does not include the Ar
rowrock dam. But it did include the
north part or unit.
In my opinion it will be dark day
for the people under the Boise Pay
cite project when a district is formed
and the proposition taken over by the
district. Today the people have no
debt on account of the building of
these works. 1t is but a prospective
debt. When a district is formed and
the system is taken over, bought if
you please, then there is real debt,
a real responsibility. Mr.. Ross says:
Our estimates show that complete
facilities for the irrigation of this body
of land can be provided at an average
1885,. 10000" About $3,OOO,OOOOO of
that time. Mr. Ross gave the acres
included the north side" and what is
before me nor do | remember the
amount of land claimed to be covered
by the system as given by Manager
Cole, but | do remember that there
was a great amount, believe nearly
half that was not subject in any way
to the Government-neither could be
made SO. but could be forced in the
district, as he claims. This is doubtless
a mistake. Circumstances may COM
pei some of the owners to seek shell
ter in the project but many Of them
never. Here is one of the mistakes
of the U. S. R. S.: building system
to supply all the land not knowing
that it would ever be subject to it.
1t is mistake generally made by
those building irrigation systems and
where many go broke. They build
for land that never comes in.
The Government would quite likely
exact the blanketing of the district
with the amount expended, and from
what | can gather this is any where
from $500 to $1,000 the acre, this
for the entire body. Now presume
that one-third never comes in, and at
best the Land cannot be assessed il
the owner shows he does not need the
water. Receives no benefit. There is
no telling where the end will be. But
all is we'll that ends we'll. The Tri-
bune has advised we'll; the people
should heed. In conclusion will say
the late Rees Davis did not expect
this money would ever be returned tc
the Government.
Very respectfully,
w. H. SCHENCK.

put oil in the barrel and keep it there
by keeping the barrel corked at both
ends. Is there any danger of the oil
softening the barrel?
Ans. 1t would certainly not harm
the barrel if you use a good quality
nitro solvent oil, and it is an effective
method of keeping out moisture.

tom of the box underneath the plate to
help to catch the splash of the bullets
and if you do good job so that all
joints are tight, it is good idea to
fill up the box above the steel plate
with sand This will kill the vibra
tons of the plate and make the bull
let step very much less noisy, This
bullet stop will be effective for prac-
tically al lead bullets.
You can of course use a u calibre
repeating rifle as long as you want to,
and also a revolver if the regular full
charge or reduced load ammunition
is used
The front of the box to which the
target can be fastened will eventually
become Shot away, and in making a
box up it is good thing therefore to
arrange things so that YOU can readily
replace the front board. The easiest
way to fasten the target to the board
is to drive couple of nails through
from the back side and then stick the
target on them. This will save fuss
ing around with thumb tacks.
The dimensions of this box can be
varied to suit the range. The main
thing to be remembered is to keep
the proportions the same; that is
have the plate at the same angle and
line the bottom and sides of the box
with Is inch sheet steel.
You will have many hours of fun
with an OUTFIT of this kind. and you
will find that your friends will be very
much interested and you will prob
ably end by organizing regular club

THE UNTHINKING FAULTFINDING PUBLIC

The auto has come to stay until something better or
at least faster is discovered and with it has the
tney service. Along with the jitney has come very
serious situation for the street companies. Their
advent has caused demand for better roads, and in the
cities for paved streets everywhere.
The private auto takes &ass of former street car
patrons away from the roads and the itneys, carrying
large number Of all classes that gave their nckes
to the carnes combine to reduce income to minimum,
while increasing costs for paving to the maximum and
the companies have to stand for the paving along their
lines to width of foot possibly two each side OF
their tracks With decreased income and ever increasing
expenses as well taxes the outlook for the carnes is
anything but cheerful.
Where they will get the money to make the improve
ments forced them by paving IS a serious problem
and that may be solved in many cases IN the not very
remote future by the abandoning of roads and surrender
of franchises This free country and the great Amer
lean citizen patronZe tneys at his own sweet
WILL but he cannot force street companies to operate
lines indefinitely at loss.
What would happen in say such cities as Portland if
the companies should quit and turn the ranSpota-
ton business over to the jtneys?
Would there not be an awful howl go up? And II
owing to this company should undertake to anchor
ate conditions by operating the lines again, how long
would it be before the travelling public forgot the recent
parayzed condition Of local passenger service and went
to patronzing the jitneys again?
When railroad for which the commercial clubs and
cities generally have been working for years to induce to
build to their city, finally arrives there is grand public
blow out with brass bands banquets banners and bunt

his entire duty From that time his main object in
life apparently is to discover something he can damn

fault findings and quit. Then we damn them more and
