PREPAREDNESS WAVE
STRIKES LOCAL COMPANY

Company G, the local company OF
the National Guard. is taking steps
that will insure greater eficiencg.
Some trouble has been had with GER
tain men of the company who have
made attendance to drill matter OF
convenience entirely, thereby placing
serious obstacle in the way of proper
training of the company.
A month or so ago the commanding
officer of the company issued an order
calling for strict attendance to drill
and, in order that no hardship be inn
posed, allowed three unexcused abb
sences from drill before taking any
action. Any man wishing to be ex-
cused from drill had merely to men,
ton the fact to the commanding Off
Ger and the permission was freely
granted.
Wednesday evening the first Sum
mary Court was held in the Armory
and one man given a light sentence.
The law provides for maximum
fine of $4,000 and 80 days in the coun-
ty jail for offences of this character

pany having power to. remit or sus'
pend any sentence as he deems proper

GAS WELL DISCOVERED
ON M'|NTYRE RANCH
AT RIVERSIDE
FARMERS LIVING IN VICINITY
OF DISCOVERY STAKE OUT
MANY CLAIMS-TOWNS
PEOPLE INTERESTED
Prospects That Gas and Oil in Com
mercial Quantities May be Discov-
ered-Discovery Made While Drill
ing Well for Water-Thorough In
vestigation Will be Made.

The people of Caldwell were greatly
interested in a gas we'll discovered OIL
the ranch of ]. F. Mcintyre at River
side, IS miles west of Caldwell. While
sinking a we'll on the Mcintyre place
gas was struck at depth of liz feet.
AS the flow has continued uninterrupt-
eddy since, some significance is attach
ed to the discovery.
On Sunday score or more of Cald-
well citizens journeyed to the we'll.
They found it still spouting the color
less, odorless gas. The flow is not
particularly strong, but when match
is applied the flame burns fairly
steadily to height of about 3 feet.
Well is Shallow.
Since the gas has been found at
such an uncommonly shallow depth,
many believe that by sinking the shaft
several hundred feet lower valuable
flow may be obtained. 1t is explained,
howeve. that the well is located on
low land and in depression of the
Snake river valley. To reach the
same stratum it would be necessary,
even comparatively short distances
away, to drive we'll between 500 and
600 feet deep, say those who have Wis
tied the scene.
Mr.. Mcintyre is quoted as saying
that he thinks the present gas flow
from the we'll would light and heat
his own and number of other homes
of the neigborhood.
Ranchers Grab Claims.
Ranchers of the Riverside section
are said to have taken DIP all the avail
able claims in that immediate vicinity,
in the hope that developments may
prove the property valuable. One Of
the good indications found in connec-
ton with the we'll is said to be the
fact that stratum of sand was pierced
just before the gas flow was struck.
So far as known, NO concerted move
has vet been made looking toward
development of the Mcintyre we'll or
or additional wells, but it seems GER
tain that if the flow from the existing
shaft does not fzzle out, further pros
pecting will be tried.

BARRIERS OF CALDWELL
ARE OF HIGH CLASS

Things change a good deal in IS
years. When the Hired Man was IS
years DID, the BARRIERS were consider
ed very common sort of folks. If
some mans nice daughter was likely
to marry one of the brood, she start
ed no end of adverse talk. Just what
first rate girl wanted with a barber
was more than madam gossip could
understand. In Caldwell today the
BARRIERS rank we'll with any other pro-
fession for citizenship and household
responsibility. | do not know that
any paper has ever before thought of
it, but where is there scrub or runt
among all the Caldwell BARRIERS? You
used to need to hide your blush APP
paratus before entering the average
barber shop, or else overwork it on
the indecent talk. Today the tongue
of the barber is as clean as that of the
average costumer. Thirty-fve years
since every saloon man was a Demo-
crat. You did not have to debate the
matter moment, he was a Demo-
GRAFT if he were saloon keeper. To-
day the saloon keepers are nearly all
Republicans. Thirty-6ve years ago,
in my bailiwick. printer was shelved
when the real elite society came
around. Today the Caldwell squad is
fair representation of the fraternity,
and there is not maverick among
them. Of course they, at large. still
have on their list that floating gang,
but the Hired Man is speaking espec,
tally for tffe gentlemen who live in
Caldwell and follow printing for a
livelihood.

HIRED MAN PASSES
ON DRAINAGE SCHEME

The Hired Man has had it put up
to him to say something about the
city draining the north side lowlands
within its confines. The Hired Man
don't think the city ought to do that
draining at all, but that the property
owners over there should do their
own improvements. The lowland re-
gion ought to be drained of course,
just as other sections of the city
needed sewers that were charged to
contiguous property. The city might
give the property owners year or
two to do the work, and if then un-
done, the city might compel them to
do it. Of course the lands were low
before this was city. but this was
city before the present owners got
hold of the property. and besides it
isn't right for the city to have to do
the work that property owners ought
to do. If property owners maintain
anything that is a nuisance to the
city, there is way to handle it.

BLOOD WILL FLOW
L. RED ON THE DIAMOND

A married man has peculiar traits.
For instance, when the sun shines tor
a few consecutive days he imagines
that he is as an athlete of no little
prowess. He struts about emitting
strange and terrifying noises anent
his ability as a baseball player and
explains to the younger generation
how they used to do it in "the days
of 49,"
Boys in the good old days." he de-
clares, I'VE used to make more runs
in game and lose it than the win
ming teams in these mollycoddle days
of baseball are able to accumulate in
a week The younger generation is
too lenient, it does not smite the ball
as it should be smote. And to demon
strate that we are sincere in our be-
lief nine exponents-our wives con-
senting-of real baseball will gather
at Recreation Park next Sunday at
ternoon at 2:30 ready and anxious to
contest with any set of persons, bach

Needless to say the single bucks
accepted the challenge and as a result

There was a real quiet woman came
over to our house the other day and
began to talk to the Hired Mans wife
about the woman who brings them
their butter. l don't know what this
butter woman's name is, and ! don't
care to tell who the one is who did the
talking, but here is what was said:
THE woman is pleasing, stout crea-
ture, Clearly and polite. The butter
is put up in elegant condition, wrap
ped in beautiful white papers, the
basket right out of the handbook. and
the woman's clothes clean enough for
a parlor entertainment. The gossiper
at our house, and may her tribe in
crease. could not tell us enough about
how safe they felt when cutting off a
chunk of butter delivered by a wo-
man such as that. The Hired Man
has a sister-in-law who won't touch
bite of butter. She says she once
saw big butter vat cleaned out and
there was sight. tell her that all
the debris is better taken out than
left in the butter, but then my logic
does not influence her in the least. |
do not remember ever having seen
the last in the bottom of butter-milk
pitcher in the summer time that did
not have fly or something else un-
drinkable in it, but man ought to
really love his country sufficiently to
eat little bit of it when necessary. l,
is difficult to have cold string beans
without finding fly in them.
