SHORTHORN BREEDERS
HOLD MEETING HERE
General Optimism Prevades Associa-
ton Meeting Which Determines
Upon Enlarged Scope of Work.

About rs members of the Boise Val
ley Shorthorn Breeders association
held a meeting at the Commercial
club rooms here Wednesday afternoon
at which the decision was reached,
after considerable discussion, to ex-
tend an invitation to various other
Shorthorn breeders in the districts ad-
jacent to the Boise valley to become
members of the organization. Such
consideration was given the PROPOSE
ton of sufficiently altering the name
and character of tn organization to in
clude other sections but the invitation
method was determined upon.
Julius Nordby, who is to have
charge of some feeding experiments
for the University of Idaho at the ex-
perimental farm near Caldwell this
winter, gave short discussion on the
value of intepretative pedigree read
ing. His remarks evoked considerable
interest and he was asked number
of questions on the subject following
his discussion. Mr.. Nordby is mem
Der of the University of Idaho agricul-
turai faculty and in addition is a we'll
known breeder of fancy livestock in
the northern part of the state.
DR.. Condor, assistant state vetinar-
ian, gave short lecture on tubercu-
losis in cattle. touching particularly
upon that disease as it relates to show
animals. Several other members of
the breeders association who were
present, discussed their problems
which they were confronted with as
practical breeders. General optimism
for Shorthorn breeding prospects DOM
mated the meeting.

of the association for the next year.

PERMIT NECESSARY
FOR CAMPERS FIRES
DISASTROUS SEASON MAKES
ADDITIONAL PROBATION
NECESSARY.

As a result of the extremely dis
astrous fire season this summer, and
as a further precaution against the
starting of fresh conflagrations, the
secretary of agriculture has, for the
month of September, extended the
regulation hitherto applicable only to
the Angeles National forest in Cali
fornia, making it unlawful to build a
camp fire on the forest without per-
nit from forest officer, to all nation
al forest land in the states of Idaho
and Wyoming.
Campers upon national forest land
in Idaho or Wyoming should see the
nearest forest officer for permit for
building camp fires during September.
Violations of this regulation, which is
made necessary by the existing fire
conditions will be energetically prose
cuted.

GOLDEN GATE ROADS
MAY BE IMPROVED
HIGHWAY DISTRICT CONTEM-
PLATES ELECTION FOR
BIG SUM.

Plans are being formulated by the
Golden Gate Highway district to vote
on bond issue for road improvement
some time the latter part of Septem-
Der. Curtis Hayden, local attorney,
has been retained by the board of
highway commissioners of that dis
trict to draw up the necessary legal
proceedings preparatory to holding the
election.
Just what the amount of the pro-
posed bond election will be has not
been determined. 1t is understood
that three amounts, 100000, $l25,OOC
and $l5O,OOO are under consideration
with the smallest figure in greatest
favor. The district at present has nc
bonded Indebtedness and has an as
sessed valuation Of about ST 100000
1t embraces Wilder, Fargo and Sunny
Slope communities and almost reaches
the Greenleaf section. The northern
boundary of the highway district lies
about six miles south of Caldwell.
Agitation recently arose to disin-
corporate the highway district that the
roads might again come under county
jurisdiction. This was squelched after
an enthusiastic reception had been
given the idea at Wilder at special
meeting held recently for that pur-
pose by unexpected opposition from
the other communities in the highway
district
According to those who are familiar
with, the condition of the roads in the
Golden Gate highway district, they
are badly in need of a constructive
highway improvement program. Some
opposition is understood to exist as
to the advisability of bondinr the dis
trict and the belief is held by many
that the issue will fail when presented
to the voters.

LOCALS TO PLAY
ONE MORE GAME
Winnings kids" Will Battle Ru-
pert Here Tomorrow
Afternoon

Just when Jack Vining had slowed
his bats away for the winter and local
bugs had settled themselves to enjoy
the grocery store winter league,
Rupert bobbed up with a sweeping
def for Boise Valley loop towns that
could not be resisted and the local
magnate has called out his cohorts
for one more exhibition. Rupert will
be here Friday afternoon cavorting
around the local diamond at S o'clock
for the last game of the season.
And Rupert has some ball team. OF
the few defeats which were handed
the Burley aggregation this season,
Rupert accounted for the majority
and were actual championship con-
tenders of that section until last week.
They are equipped with Rube Evans,
pitcher of the first water who has
played in several western profession
al circuits.
Local Manager Optimistic.
Vining is optimistic as usual. He
has concluded negotiations with the
remaining loop aggregations whereby
each team is to present a combination
front of maximum strength. Boise
will provide battery for the locals
and AL Miller, elongated first base
man from the Junction City will deco
rate the first hossack for the kids. :
In exchange Cornell will probably
play the entire three game series with
each of the teams which meet Rupert.
Jack had to make a rather fat guar
antee to bring the southern Idaho
transformers here and as a conse-
quence the admission to the seasons
last exhibition will be so cents. Bur-
ley attracted good crowd while they
were here and it is believed that the
last exhibition of the season will
prove as popular.

COUNCIL AUTHORIZES
SIDEWALK CONTRACT
c. H. LEIGHTY TO BUILD TWO
MILES FOR CITY; PASS
ORDINANCE.

Caldwell will build during the next
year about two miles of sidewalk.
Contracts for this work were let Tues.
day evening at the city council meet
ing to c. H. Leighty, local contractor,
at the unusually low figure of l6H
cents per square foot. Bids were also
submitted by J. H. Forbes, and by the
Caldwell Plumbing and Heating COM
pany Leighty's bid was much lower
than either of the others.
Work of putting in the sidewalks
will be continuous for probably year
as the contract was somewhat in the
nature of a blanket affair to cover
work as the city council may deem il
necessary. No large amount of side
walk will laid in any particular part
of the city but will be scattered in
small amounts, where for various rea-
sons, it has not been installed before.
Pass Three Ordinances.
Three ordinances were passed at the
city council meeting. Two related to
the paving already under way as the
ordinances were introduced by repre-
sentatives of the bonding companies
which bought the municipal bonds.
The third opened an alley to permit
the Holt Seed and Grain company to
gain access to their warehouse
City bills were allowed. Because of
the fact that Monday was Labor day
the meeting was postponed and held
Tuesday evening.
Provisions were made by the city
council to provide for necessary travel
ing expenses for Orel Sovereign, fire
chief, who is to go to Portland next
week to attend the firemen's confer
ence of the northwestern states to be
held there. Funds will be supplied
him for railroad fare and hotel bills.

IDAHO WHEAT SHOWS
HIGH GRADE FOR 'l9
DOCKAGE ON GRAINS UNUSU-
ALLY LOW THIS YEAR
OFFICIAL REPORTS.

BOISE-Dockage is running low If
Idaho grain this year, according te
b. r. Sheehan, agronomist of the uni
versity extension division, who is also
state grain inspector. In Reporting
results of the recent series of grair
grading schools conducted in tn.
southern and eastern parts of tn,
state, Mr.. Sheehan said:
A great deal of interest was shown
and many points not clear to both
dealer and farmer in the grading o.
wheat were cleared up. Grading Of
samples of the 1919 crop showed thai
the test weight per bushel was in mos,
cases the determining factor in placins
the grade.
Wheat produced on the dry lands
is exceedingly light. In the irrigated
sections, the grade will be consider.
ably better than that of the dry lands
At present the moisture factor is neg.
hgible and tests made show an aver
age content of between 8 and 10 Del
cent. No. l grain is allowed to CON
tain l3.5 per cent of moisture.
"Dockage is also running low. In
the dry land sections much shriveled
grain will be produced and in many
cases this light grain will go through
the fine seed screen of the 'oa,
kicker Such material should be re-
screened in the hand sleeves in order
to reclaim as much as possible. An,
shriveled or cracked grain that can be
recovered by aid of the hand sleeves
should not be considered as dockage
but should be returned to the cleaned
wheat before the test weight and other
grading factors are considered"

EVERYTHING SETFOR SOLDIERS
CELEBRATION NEXT WEDNESDAY
DAY FULL OF ENTERTAIN
MENT FEATURES TO BE
PROVIDED.
BRING YOUR GIRL
Banquet and Big Outdoor Dance ut
Memorial Park Will Conclude
Program for Service Men.

Everything is ready for the second
welcome which Caldwell citizens will
have given Canyon county World War
veterans and which is to be held here
next Wednesday. All former service
men are to share the dance which is
to close the days events and which
is to be given at the Memorial park
pavilion in the evening. While this
celebration is to be rendered all serv-
ice men who have returned since the
former occasion, all Company G men
are invited to attend. Particular en-
phasis will be given to those men of
that organization who recently re-
turned after heroic service with the
Second Engineers.
}. 5. Harrington, chairman of the
entertainment committe, who is max
ing arrangements for the events, ex-
pressed belief that about IS service
men would be on hand to share the
fun. Many of those whom it was de-
sired to entertain have left this Sec
ton because they have taken up work
in other districts.
Banquet to Feature.
AS usual, big spread and banquet
at the Methodist church will be the
big feature of the days events. The
menu has not been announced as yet
but the feed will undoubtedly be just
like the former one. A new feature
will be the privilege extended every
servic man who comes to the banquet
to bring company. If he isn't equipped
with wife, he is entitled to bring his
sweetheart or his mother or his sister.
Following the banquet, the service
man is expected to take his company
to the big dance at Memorial park
which will close the events of the day.
Afternoon events which are to start
shortly after lunch, include addresses
by T. A. Walters who will welcome
the men and response by Dr. F. M.
Cole. Owing to the fact that Mr..
Harrington went to Boise Thursday
afternoon without leaving definite in
formation, It is not known whether or
not parade will be given to start
the events. Speaking will be at Me-
moral park and if a parade precedes
that portion of the program, the pa
rade will terminate at Memorial park.
Oodles of Money.
AS was the case at the preceding
celebration, sufficient funds to give
the event in the proper style were
readily forthcoming from local re-
sponsive business men and houses. A
band concert by the municipal band
will feature the days events. Because
of the fact that no concert was held
last Friday evening because it would
have conflicted with the circus per-
Torrance, the city of Caldwell will
contribute the services of the band for
this event in place of that concert.

CALDWELL BUILDING
SETS HIGH MARK
AUGUST PERMITS REACH $74,4so
SWELLING YEARS TOTAL
TO $365,105.

With the single exception of April
when permit of $4,000 was taken
| out for the new high school building,
August showed the largest amount OF
building activity gotten under way
than during any other month of the
present year. Permits totaled $74,48O,
bringing the total since January to
1905 los.
Among the outstanding features of
the months building activities is that
of permits for IL new residences for
combined cost of $40. 500 or almost
$500 each. This was the largest sim
gle item with the garage being erected
for Shank Auto company close sec
ond. This structure will cost about
$2o.850.
No Place to Live.
Increased costs of lumber and labor
have apparently not resulted in a de-
crease of the building activity here,
if the building permits are any
criterion. Demand for houses is con-
tinually increasing with particular
emphasis being laid on the utter in
ability of newcomers to obtain rented
houses.
A. l.. Murphy local real estate man.
Wednesday gave it as his opinion, tina:
with sufficient housing facilities avail
able, Caldwell's population would in
crease by about $500 persons by next
May |. Twenty-Five parties on an
average according to Mr.. Murphy,
call at his office every day looking
for houses to rent. Many of them
buy but those who cannot afford to do
so. find it an impossibility to remain
here.
August permits were as follows.
