all discouraging and is looked for in
the near futue.
The city plans in addition to what
has already been done toward beau
tifying Caldwell. by the way of build
ing parks and improving streets and

The Westcott Sales company, by
the installation of tire pressing ma
chine, have made it a past necessity
to send the solid truck tire away for
replacement. The Shank Auto com
pany (The home of the, Buick) are
moving into their new $28,0O000 mod

ern Idaho and they are not just good

doing good business.
No Houses for Homes.
For sometime past the supply of
homes for families coming into Cald-
well has been exhausted. Many have
found it necessary to locate else
where because there was no place in
Caldwell, and not withstanding the
fact that there has been 131 new
homes built this year and % built last
year, the shortage prevails and the
demand increases. If those who have
not visited the residence part of Cald-
well in the past year were to do so
today, they would be compelled to
admit that here has been built some
of the prettiest homes seen in south
ern Idaho and they are not just good
looking outside and cheap inside, but
are built by good workmen and with
the same degree of workmanship in
side as they look to have on the out
side. There has been spent since
January |, 1919, 1892 1900 for new
homes and out of 131 there has been
sixteen costing less than $4,000 each,
and six less than $4,000 each. The
average cost of the homes built is
$4,000.
Shortage Causes Cheap Ones.
The cause of the small home is a
shortage of homes to live in, which
makes it necessary for some to build
who don't want to build larger, while

for a modern two story brick building
to be located at the corner of Kimball
avenue and Arthur street and will cost
when completed about 100000,
This will have store room on first
floor and office rooms on the second
floor, barber shops and such like in
the basement. Mrs. Sarchet will
build a modern two story building at
608 Main, which is to cost $4,000.
The Holt Seed company is to build
an elevator with capacity of $4,000
bushels per day also storehouse
with capacity of 100000 bushels. this
building is to cost when completed,
100000 and will be built of rein
forced concrete. This elevator will
stand 100 feet high and will be a
hearty addition to the lower end of
our business district, and will be mod
ern in every respect and welcome to
our city.
Lumber Company to Build.
Then comes the Gem State Lumber
company with 100000 plant on
the corner of Sixth and Arthur which
is to have a beautiful ornamental
front and which will greatly add to
the appearance of that part of the
town. DR.. Cue informs us that he is
to build another concrete building at
700 Arthur street. L. A. Harmon,
having purchased an interest in the
old Little building at the corner of
Main and Kimba1l avenue, will re-
model the first floor and will install
a modern front, to face not only on
Main street but on Kimball avenue
also. 1t is to be used by Mr.. Harmon
for his durg business according to
plans this store is to be strictly mod
ern in every respect and one of the
most up to date drug stores in the
state of idaho.

the price of material stays up. The
in addition to these new homes there
has been many additions made to
the homes already built, so much so
that $20O0o.000 has been spent in
this way. 1t will be seen that while
many are building new homes, the
home already built is being added to,
and not only this but it has been mod
ernized in many ways, such as install
lation of modern plumbing, also the
installation of tn electric ranges,
water heaters, air heaters, electric
washers, irons, perculators and other
| things.
In addition to these buildings there
has been miscellaneous buildings built
to the amount of 81, 10000, this max
ing the total for the year of $527,-
1000 or little more than half
a million, while but little over TO-
600 were spent in 1918. Some say
Caldwell is on boom but it is not,
it is enjoying natural growth. Take
into considerations that before the
installatio nof the Boise Payette pro-
ject, only about $500 acres were I'M
der cultivation that was directly trib-
utary to Caldwell, and that now there
are better han 10000 acres directly

ject, then too we have on deposit in

City Still Behind Country.
The city is not in accordance with
the country around it, and will not be
for some time to come yet, but the
coming year does not look at all dis
couraging for information deceived
from the office of the building inspec-
tor, for the building outlook is about
as follows: Martin Jensen will build
an up to date modern show house
with seating capacity Of 800, will be
sOxl20 with a balcony seating 800,
will have few office rooms above
that is to cost approximately $780,

we'll has long looked for is to be !,
built, commencing work in the early
spring. And it is strongly proposed
to build an l. O.. o. F. club house at |
the corner of Cleveland boulevard and |
Kimball avenue, at cost of $4,000
This building will be two stories with
a full basement it to have reception
room, billiard and card rooms, show

Caldwell is lastly stepping out to
become that city of which those who
have been putting forth their best ef-
forts to make it one of the bes little
cities in southern Idaho, is now be-
ing realized from the data given out
from the office of the building inspec-
tor nearing the close of the years
business.
In the commercial building of the
city 10 new buildings have been added
since the first of the year at cost
of $lo8,3O0. For some time past bust
ness buildings for rent have been in
great demand and because of this
shortage many business enterprises
coming to this part of the country
have been compelled to locate else
where. But few of these demands
are now being met, and those BUSH
ness enterprises that have been built
up by our own home people have been
and are now being provided with good
convenient homes. The building in
spector says that different business
concerns have been compelled to To-
cate at other places along the line,
simply because there was no building
in Caldwell suitable for their parti-
cular business.

BOWLUS

Bowlus Advance (27): Thos. Opatz,
Jr., of Bowlus and Miss Kate Olda-
kowski of Swan River were married on
Wednesday, June 25, at the catholic
church at Sobieski by Rev. Gospodar.
The brides maid was her sister,
Agnes, and the groom's man was his
brother, Peter. A very large crowd of
neighbors and friends attended the SER
vices at the church and participated
in the celebration at the Oldakowski
home afterwards. Mr.. and Mrs. Opatz
will make their home on their farm
near Opole south Of here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Welmski were
married according to the rites Of the
catholic church last Monday morning
by Rev. J. G. Janski. Their civil mar
rage occurred last winter while the
groom was still in the service in France.
The bride, who was Miss Bridget Kup-
ka, at that time secured the marriage
license at Little Falls and papers we're
made out which she signed and which
were then sent to France, where the
groom signed them. They were then
legally married. The groom returned
from the army few days ago and the
regular church marriage was immedi-
ate1y arranged and the joyful event
consummated as stated above. The
bride is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jos. Kupka who reside in the village.
The groom is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Welinski of Swan river.

CHANGE DISPLEASES||
BOWLUs PEOPLE DON'T LIKE
& STATE ROAD CHANGE AND !
THINKS ROYALToN SELFISH.

From the contents of an article in
the last issue Of the Bowlus Advance,
it is evident that the people in that vi
cinity are very much displeased with
the changing of State Road No: 2 from
the river road to- east Of the Northern
Pacific right-of-way. The people from
that territory use this road>a great
deal in their trips to and from the coun-
ty seat. Mr.. Nelson, the editor Of the
Advance says in his article, "The new
arrangement practically makes the
hard-surfaced road useless to this Sec
ton Of the county for local use, such
as going to Little Falls. It is Of con-
siderable advantage to Royalton, how
ever, and it is not out Of reason that
that burg has had a finger in the deal
that makes the change. The idea is Of
course to make this territory travel
through that town whenever the hard
surfaced road is used.'
The article goes on to say that the
reason given for the change is that the
new road will be Strengthened, will do
away with two railroad crossings and
also will be two miles shorter. But it
adds $50 far the people here have
Travelled across the river to get on the
highway without much protest, but this
new move to pull the travel two miles
farther east is little too raw and if
we make no mistake it will stir things
up to the point where a new deal will
have to be made.
Improving Of the river road on the
West side is also spoken Of in the ar
ticle, the writing saying that Bowlus
has always neglected it's rights and
opportunities in the matter or roads and
that the Jefferson Highway shoAld new
Ter have been allowed to run up the east
side of the river. The west side is
much more suited for such road, the
soil and scenery are better fitted for it..
Stearns county has agreed to make a
good road along the west bank of the
river to the Morrison county line pro-
vided this county will build a similar
good road from that point to this city:
Such a road, the article states, should
run through North Prairie to Bowlus
and thence straight north to Little
Falls. The character of the soil is such
that when once well graded and gray
elled it would be an ideal road for trav
ell and would not be expensive for main
tenance and furthermore it would serve
a territory with more people and trav-
ell than the present highway.
