concentrations he would make. The
following letter received by Postmas-
ter Bailey this week will explain the
result of his Investigations:
Washington, Dc, Sept. IL, 1892
Postmaster at Caldwell. Sir: The
contractor on route from Caldwell to
Rockville has been instructed, in pur-
surance with an order from the Post
master General, to extend the service
to Jordan Valley. He is further in
structed to increase the service to
three times week This ordr will
take effect October /.
VIM. ]. POLLOCK,
Asst. P. M. General.
We ought to feel grateful to Mr..
Boomer. His efforts to destroy our
service have resulted in having it in
creased from semi-weekly to a tri-
weekly. Our business interests have
grown to such an extent that "a daily
line will shortly follow. Boomer
should have known better than to
bluff Caldwell business men and prob
ably will in the future. Good for
Caldwell and Jordan Valley. They will
allow no/San Francisco capitalist to
interfere with their interests.

MASKED BANDIT LOOTS
SOCIABLE POKER GAME
Nampa Players are Alleged to Have
Been Tapped at Jordan
Valley.

Ali of the "woolly" has not been
rubbed from the wild West" if a
writer in the Jordan Valley Express
gives true picture of an interrupted
poker game recently staged in the Jor-
dan Valley hotel.' incidentally a
number of Nampa people are alleged
to have participated in the episode
The narrative follows:
AT about ten o'clock last Sunday
night poker game that had been run
ming along smoothly throughout the
afternoon and evening in an upstairs
room at Hotel Jordan was rudely in
terrupted by a man with a handker-
chief over his face and, a, gun in his
hand, who stepped into the room at
the critical moment when P. D. Allen
of Nampa was raking in a pot of be-
tween five and six hundred dollars and
demanded the swag He gotit.
Law Draws Full House.
"The visitors participating in the
game, r. D. ALLEN, WIS. Temple, M.
]. Rosengrave and S. E. Henderson,
the latter sas a spectator, belliaked
SO much about the little incident that
they called the attention of the town
authorities to the shocking fact that a
horrid poker game had been in pro-
gress right here in our midst, and on
Sunday, too, and the whole bunch was
pinched the next morning and hailed
before the town recorder, who gave.
them the limit, which was only fifty
dollars each. Three of the visitors
and four local sports contributed to
this jackpat. M
"The visitors contend that the deal
er was party to the holdup and that
party is now under bond to answer to
the charge. But these same people
were positive as to the holdup man,
and made a stupid guess.
AS to the identity of the holdup
public opinion-privateiy expressed
is practically unanimous. It centers
on man who is supposed to have had
considerable experience during the
last year or two in interviewing, at
the point of gun, transporters of
merry Sunnybrook, for whom he is
supposed to have laid in wait on the
desert. -Leader Herald.

Mining operations are to be re-
sumed at Flint Sixty thousand
pounds of machinery are at Caldwell
now and more is to follow. 1t will be
remembered that about three years
ago there was considerable money
spent in that section putting up ma
chinery, ETC., when suddenly for some
reason mining operations were sus-
pended. The. whole of South Mountain
is mineral and some day the biggest
| mining camp in Idaho will be located
there.

and have no money to pay with, bring

Some months ago the postmaster at
this place received notice from the
department that the mail service be-
tween this place and Jordan Valley
had been discontinued. No explana-
ton was given but as the change
sadly crippled the business interests
of Caldwell, one was demanded. 1t
was then discovered that it was
brought about by the underhand work
of A. Fl. Boomer, the contractor, and
letters written by him and some of his
hirelings were sent to Caldwell bust
ness men by the postoffice depart
ment at Washington. These letters
were tissue of falsehood from be-
ginning to end. They started out by
saying that there was no need of the
mail service, that Rockville did not
supply more than half dozen people
and that the entire line from here to
Jordan Valley was useless expense
to the government.
Under the caption "His Little Game
Won't Work" The Tribune in its
Issue of August 2, explained the
animus of Mr.. Boomers remarkable
productions. 1t showed how the
growing mail service between Cald-
we'll and Jordan Valley was coming
daily stage from Nampa to Silver
City; and that Mr.. Boomer, in en-
deavoring to get the line discontinued.
consulted his purse rather than the
wants of the people. 1t was his
scheme to destroy the service. For
that purpose he took out contract
at low figure and by misrepresenta
ton he did get the service curtailed to
end at Rockville instead of at Jordan
Valley.
But Mr.. Boomer made mistake
when he endeavored to arrange the
business of Caldwell to conform with
his fat purse. Protests, petitions ami
requests were sent from this place,
Jordan Valley. Sheaville, Rockville
and other points along the service
route. The Board of Trade took the
matter up and soon brought such
pressure to bear upon the department
that Thomas Stoddard, assistant sup
erintendent of railway mail service,
was sent to go over the route and re-
port to the department as to its need
and practicability.
Mr.. Stoddard came and spent
week in travelling over the country
and making personal inspection
When he left, he told representa-
tive of The Tribune that an injustice
had been tone the people of Caldwell
and Jordan Valley and other points on
the route but did not state what rec

Most Of the county officers have
been taken off the fee system and
placed on a regular salary, and bill
was passed by the house in the last
legislature to require those who now
receive compensation under the fee
system to keep an accurate account OF
all fees in book open to- inspection
and report the amount to the super
visor, but for some reason the New
berry senator had this county exempt
ed from the provisions of the bill.
WHY?

great extent. And this same state
ment showed that the bank has over
a hundred thousand dollars invested
in Liberty bonds, nearly equal to the
amount it has borrowed. And the de-
posts are a little over million, about
the same amount as the loans and dis
counts, and good supply Of cash in
its vaults. In fact we think very
fine showing and evidences good mar,
agement and we should think that it
would be in position to do a great
deal toward helping to do the busl-
ness of the country and to continue to
help the farmer hold his cotton. And
70 doubt it is doing this very thing.
We do not know. We only refer to
this statement to show that there IS
no need for any one to be alarmed
there is plenty of money and the coun-
try is all right, and no one should get
stage fright. We are satisfied the
banks here about will cooperate with
the farmer to get at least the cost OF
making his cotton and that they Will
help him to make another crop if he
only sticks to his proposition to plant
a less acreage this year, because they
have said so. Cooperation is the word.
Reduce your acreage to cotton, plant
plenty things to make something to
,st and the country is all right.
