CARS COME
At RAPID PACE
Steps Taken To Reveal Losses
Resulting From Poor
Service

Charles Ollein has been designated
committee of one to prepare a re-
port on the acreage of Canyon county
potatoes which have been ruined and
are complete loss because of in
ability to obtain cars to place them on
the market when the potatoes were
matured. Two forty acre fields of
potatoes are understood to be COM
plete loss, diggers deserving the fields
at the owners or der when cars finally
bacame available.
Glen Davis at the Commercial club
meeting Tuesday evening suggested
that collection of the soil baked po-
tatoes whose STABILITY was destroyed
be collected and taken to the state fair
to be held at Boise this fall and ex-
hibited This suggestion met with
popular approval, the local business
men feeling that much good might
come through advertising the traffic
conditions whic has resulted in loss
to Canyon county farmers conserva-
lively estimated at 100000.
Many Cars Now.
Cars at present are being received
as rapidly as they are needed. Through
inability to obtain potato diggers,
many of whom have left the district
because of the I'm certainty of obtain
ing cars earlier in the season and re-
sulting in throwing many OF these
men out of work for many days.
For the two days OF Sunday and Mon
day, about so cars were, delivered to
the Caldwell Traction company and
they have been coming in rapidly ever
since. Thursday the deliveries totaled
lo cars which was enough to supply
tho dan,arl NJ J:cf:1.,lty ;s axnacfad
in the future to provide for all de-
mands.
Last week end when it became evil
dent that the Caldwell Traction COM
pany was being discrimin ated against
regarding delivery of oers, George
Erb of the. public utilities commission
was called and he responded by COM
ing to Caldwell Saturday afternoon.
When the true condition of affairs
was made known to him, he started an
immediate; investigation which appar-
emily corrected the attitude held b,
| some subordinate railroad official!
who were apparently poerating con
trary to orders from the railroad ad
| Manifestation and refusing to delive
cars in accordance with the request o
| the Traction compar" on the ground:
| that it was due no more consideration
! and no more cars than was any IN
dividuai. In fact, manv growers wer'
actually hauling potatoes to Caldwell
at an expense of about $50 per ca
when. they might have loaded then
conve nientiy within half a mile o
their potato fields.
Melba Cleaned Early.
Reports are current here that tn,
MeIba potato. district was entirel.
cleined of early potatoes some tim
ago. Local growers feel that an in
justice has been done them or
would be impossible to provide ampl
cars now when the Idaho fruit sea
son is at it's height. The fear is ex
pressed that. those farmers who hav
had courage to face conditions thi
year will not care to produce pota
toes again and that the Canvon coun
ty potto b lit will be dealt hard bio,
as result, of che car situation face
this year.

CALDWELL DOES
MUCH FOR SONS
Entertainment Wednesday Fit.
ting Close For Splendid
War Work

Wednesdays celebration for the
service men who have returned since
the April IS event and for all members
OF old Company G of the Second Ida
no closed the work of the entertain
ment committee, headed by ]. S. Har-
rington, which during the entire war
has industriously provided for every
need of local service men that could
reasonably be supplied. This work ac-
tually began when the local militia
company went to the Mexican border.
Six months later when the men re-
turned from the border, four Interur-
ban cars were chartered and the men
were taken from the Boise barracks to
Caldwell. Here the city acted host
for them. Money for those boys was
valueless. Everything, everywhere
was free.
1t was not long after this that war
with Germany began. Company G
was Immediately modified and the
local committee began the long series
of events which came to a conclusion
only Wednesday and each of which
was designed to show that Caldwell
appreciated the work which her service
men had and were doing. Thanks
giving of 1917, $l57 was sent to the
local men with Co. G at New York to
provide for Thanksgiving dinner.
When Christmas came, the number of
men had been swelled to 100 and a
check of 1866 was sent by Mr.. Har-
rington to provide Christmas dinner
for each one of them. That money
reached them just as they were sailing
for France.
Send Individual Checks.
In the meantime the draft law had
begun to operate and every time that
a contingent of local men left the
city, a reception and celebration was
given them. Each one was provided
with wrist watch. Last Christmas,
check of S. was sent to every Cald-
we'll boy in France for an individual
Christmas dinner. That this action
was appreciated by the soldiers is evil
denced by the large number OF letters
Of thanks and appreciation which Mr.
Harrington, who nd raised the funds
by engineering a street entertainment
received.
Then the boys began to come home
April Is, the number had swelled to
such proportions that when the first
home coming celebration was given
22S service men were seated at the
banquet. Plate were provided at SIS
each for that number. Since that time
63 men have returned and of thes,
only SO were available for the CLOSING
event of Caldwell's participation il
soldier demonstrations.
In summarizing these particulars
the belief is expressed that Caldwell
actuall.. did more for her service mer
than did any other Idaho town OF
| city. Much of the work has been du,
to the untiring efforts of Mr.. Harring
ton in their behalf who was courteous
ly given rising vote of thanks by tn,
service men who attended the banque

NOT GUILTY IS
WOMAN VERDICT
Unusual Case In Probate Court
Results In Defendants
AcquittaI

mot guilty" together wirh rec
concentration tht the defendant be
placed under bond to keep peace was
the verdict brought in late Thursday
afternoon by the first women jury
ever sitting on cast in Canyon county
so far as konwn. Accordingly Mrs.
Lang was liberated on a charge pre-
ferred against her by S. R. Hoyt of
assault upon Mr.. Hoyt's mother.
Those who served on the jury include
Mrs. George Froman, Mrs. Wolley,
Mrs. Ida Moe, Mrs. Frank Breshears,
Mrs. Lem Harding and Mrs. D. G.
Ruby.
1t seems that Mrs. Lang and Mr..
Hoyt's mother are neighbors and that
Mrs. Lang, according to Information
filed with the county attorney. has FREE
quently precipitated neighbrohood
parrei. Mr.. Hoyt came to the county
officials to have the matter adjudicated
| and Curtis Hayden, county attorney,
informed him that only in the event
Mr. Hoyt would post bond, should
the case come to trial. Mr.. Hoyt was
prompt to comply.
Ask Women to Serve.
Since women were involved, the de-
termination was reached to utilize
jury of women to hear the case,
which was originally set to come be-
fore Judge S. Ben Dunlap Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was postponed until
Thursday afternoon, however, when It
engrossed the entire time of the court.
The case grew from alleged threats
upon the person of Mrs. Hoyt with
various handy implement and the use
of considerable abusive language. 1t is
understood the difficulties have been
brewing for some time, several efforts
having been made previously to bring
it before the court.
Interest in the trial which was ex-
pected to be quite intense, was rather
disappointing. Hardly enough people
were present to fill the probate court
rom while those who were there fully
anticipated that it would be necessary
for the case to be transferred to the
district court room.
According to eye witnesses, the jury
really enjoyed the occasion more than
even those who came as onlookers.
i Questions were continually pumped at
the Judge and prosecuting attorney and
an atmosphere of suppressed merri-
ment pervaded the court room. James
Boone, defending Mrs. Stang, made an
eloquent address but it was reported
that various of the fomen with diff
Guilty overlooked some inconsistencies
which he permitted to drift into his
appeal.

Especial Dispatch)


BOISE-Application for the segre-
CATION of $4,000 acres of land in the
Bruneau tract was filed with the state
land board by body of responsible
capitalists Thursday afternoon who
are organized as the Twin Falls,
Bruneau Land and Water company
and who are to exercise supervising
control over the construction of the
enormous project. The venture rep
resents an investment reaching the
estimated huge sum of $4,000, 900 for
the first unit.
impounded in the American Falls res
ervoir site according to plans adopted
at present. This will involve an ex-
penditure of about $20,0O0,0O0 alone
and it is estimated that the reservoir
will have a capacity of 100000 acre
feet. Since the early season run off
of Snake river is so large, it is pro-
posed not only to provide water for
this project but also for all other prof.
ects now in operation in southern
Idaho. In addition sufficient water
will be available for the generation of
an enormous amount of electric power
for use in southern Idaho.
Long Been contemplated
According to the evidence available
here Thursday afternoon, the scheme
has been will under way for some time
and has already obtained the official
sanction OF Secretary Lane of the U.
S. Department of the Interior. 1t has
been laid informally before the state
officials and they are understood to
be thoroughly in accord with the prop
osition.
That the plan is no wildcat scheme
and means the biggest single irriga-
tional development in the history OF
Idaho is evidenced by those who are
backing the proposal. Those who filed
the official application THURSDAY after
noon include l. B. Perrine, of Twin
Falls, whose vision of years ago and
patience of years is responsible for
the reclamation of the Twin Falls
lands. E. H. Dewey of Nampa, H. l.
HOLSTER. another wealthy Twin Falls
man, E. T. Meredith, Des Moines
journalist and extensive farmer who
is vitality interested in the west and
widely known in Idaho and Mckenzie
Clelland.
Get Busy at Once.
John Bailey of the state engineers
department has been selected to make
selection of the land to be included ir
the segregation. He will begin worl
along that line at once. The entire
body lies south of Snake river in Owy
hee county and has been included il
many proposals to extend the Twir
Falls project which have never ma.
terailized. At present the land is
among that withdrawn by the fedora
reclamation service for development
should funds be available for that pur
pose.
1t is presumed that the Twin Fall.
high line canal will be enlarged tc
carry water to the Bureau tract. Ac
cording to former surveys of the dis
trict, supplementary storage reservoirs
will be constructed on the Bruneal
river and several other minor stream,
which are crossed by the main canal
The area has long been recognized a
one of the finest bodies of undeclaime'
land in Idaho but cost of construction
together with the enormous sums ne
eessary for providing ample storag
facilities along Snake river have pre-
vented its development long ago

Cure for Dysentery

"While 1 was in Ashland Kansas,

of Des Moines, Iowa. "He told me IN
detail of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his
daughter who was lying at the point
of death with a violent attack of
dysentery, and had been given up by
the family physician. Some of his
neighbors advised him to give Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy
which he did, and fully believes that
by doing so saved the life of his
child. He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equally
gratifying results"
