Aid College Endowment.
Early in 1917 the College of
Idaho started a campaign for T..
100000 Endowment and a largo
committee from this club assisted in
the campaign. About $25, 100000 was
subscribed in this city and vicinity.
The present enrolment in the COL
lege is $50, the number being greatly
reduced on account of the students
, enlisting for war.
The club maintained COMMITTEES
most Of the time during the last
legislature at Boise looking after
legislation Of interest to this com.
munity.
In May this club entertained the
! Omaha Live Stock delegation. The
entire delegation was driven by auto
to Lake Lowell through Deer Flat
and back via Greenleaf and enter
tanned by a dinner at the Saratoga.
We later received q communication
from this delegation thanking us and
saying they received a better recep-
ton here than any place they visited.
In May our Fair Committee con-
tracted with the Sound Amusement
Co. for q week Of Street Fair. Tho
proceeds which were turned over to
the Caldwell Chapter Of the Red

In December J. e. Riddle gave a
sack Of wheat to be sold for the
benefit Of the Red Cross. This sack
was sold 81 times and brought
$654.20 for q good cause.
Early in 1917 committee from
this club consisting of B. M. Holt,
Carl E. McStay and w. p. Lyon were
appointed to bring about unity Of
action and effort by the towns of
Boise Valley in advertising and gen.
eral advancement. As a result meet
ings were held in Nampa, Meridian
and Boise and the Boise Valley De-
velopment League was organized.

When the Union Stock Yards were
established here the freight rates and

gathered exhibits that were sent to
the Nebraska and Iowa State Fairs
and Seattle Exposition, the National
Corn Show at Omaha and National
Horticultural Exhibit at Council
Bluffs, winning first prizes for best
county displays and other premiums
that gave US valuable advertising. In
1908 this club in conjunction with the
Water Users association sent NOV
ing picture show and gave lectures
through the central states. This was
undoubtedly one of the best publicity
campaigns ever pulled off for this
section. In 1909 exhibits were sent
and maintained for some time at the
National Land Show in Chicago.
The Canyon County fair which was
succeeded by the Idaho State Fair
was organized in 1901, but it was

ganized that it had the support that
made it q success. If the county
commissioners had given this fair
the support it desired and in a
measure the support that other coun
ties in the state gave their fairs, il
would still be running, and be OF
much benefit to our agricultural and
horticultural interests.

Up until about 1908 all railroad
tariffs on car load commodity rate!
was 10 cents higher in and out O
Caldwell than from Boise.
It was through the clubs effort
that the Boise zone was establishe,
which gave Caldwell the same raj
rates, at the same time the minimum
local rate was 30 cents, while iron
Boise it was 25 cents, which put loca
merchants to a, great disadvantag
on less than 100 lb. shipments. This
too, was adjusted.

History Of Organization Replete
With indications That the
Growth Of District Has Been
Materially Stimulated.

In 1889 the first organization in
Caldwell of the present Commercial
club was incorporated and named the
Caldwell Board of Trade. Such well
known men as Sherman M. Coffin,
Monte B. Gwinn, Howard Sebree,
Frank Steunenberg, A. X. Steunen-
berg and others were among its first
members. This organization did a
wonderful work for this city during
its life, such as opening and build
ing roads to Silver City, Jordan VAL
ley, Emmett and Long Valley. and
establishing trade connections with
those communities. A great deal OF
the freight was received and general
business transacted in this city. It
was no uncommon sight to see ten or
fifteen six, eight and ten horse teams
loading in Caldwell in . day. This
organisation did its work and passed
and for several years the town had
no public society to further its in
terest.
In 1908 few men met one Sun
day morning in the First National
Bank and organized the Caldwell
Commercial Club and the list Of the
charter members now hangs on the
wall in the club rooms.
Caldwell at that time had popu-
lation Of about 1000. There was un-
der irrigation tributary about $4,000
acres and Caldwell drew trade from
Jordan Valley, Emmett and lower
Snake River sections. The first meet
ing IN the present rooms was held
April 18th. 1907, with 65 members
present.
Il was largely through this organi-
nation that the first endowment fund
for the College Of Idaho was raised
something like $4,000 was given by
Caldwell citizens for endowment anf

always given the College its moral
and material support.
Boost Twin Falls Project.
It might be interesting to know
that it was through the efforts and
foresight of Governor Frank Steun-
enberg, his brother A. K. Steunen-
berg, our townsman ]. h. Lowell and
others that starter the Great Twin
Falls irrigation project, and it was
the same men who first fathered and
put in motion the organization that
induced the government to build the
Boise Payette project which has re-
suited in making this part of Idaho
the best in the intermountain Sec
ton.
The club was the nerve center, and
carried on the propaganda that
brought it to a successful conclusion
It was this club that issued and dis
tributed the first booklet and adver.
tised the Boise project through the
east that brought settlers in to take
up the lands. During the years 1906.
TO 5000 letters of inquiry were re.
ceived and about 1000 personal let.
tiers written and booklets and pam.
phlets sent to all inquirers.
Much Constructive Work.
It was through the efforts of the
club that the Black Canyon Irriga-
ton project was formed and we hope
win soon be completed.
The club bought the 800 acres OF
land that is now the Experiment
farm, and gave it to the state. Wher
the old Flour Mills burned down the
club bought the site and was largely
instrumental in locating the present
company which is one of the leading
concerns Of the northwest.
The club financed and established
the first Caldwell Traders Day sale
and the first few months it was en-
tirely managed by its officers. Thi
is one Of the big business concern
Of the city.
The telephone line to Rockville wa
built from money advanced by on
members for coupon books whicl
were later taken up by the Bell Com
pany in payment for toll service.

Ten years ago there was but very
little dairying done by the farmers
of this section. This club organized
the Caldwell Dairy association that
bought cows and sold to farmers on
time. This was really the estab-
lishment of the dairy business on a
permanent basis, which was instru-
mental in locating the Hardwood
creamery here at that time.
It was through the efforts of the
members of this club that the orig
inal rail road to Lake Lowell was
built. About $4,000 was subscribed
and paid by its members and when
the line was extended and electrified
through Deer Flat to Snake River
it was a committee of this club that
secured the right-of-way. s
Build Wilder Line.
When the Golden Gate rail road
was under promotion it was largely
through our efforts that the road was
built to Wilder. While these rail
road enterprises have cost Caldwell
citizens great deal of money, they
have been the means Of wonderfully
developing both city and country.
It was through agitation and as.
sistance by the club that the Idaho
traction line was built from here to
Nampa which was che last link in
the loop.
During the years 1907-8 Caldwell
had an epidemic Of typhoid fever due
to our water and sewerage and it was
the Commercial club that initiated
the present improvements, induced
the city to build our present city
water works, which is the best in the
state, built sewers and paved the
streets. ~ +.
Help With Roads.
The club has spent thousand Of
dollars on roads in the county out.
side the city limits that ought t.
have been paid by the taxpayers.
During the period Of settlement Of
the Deer Flat country the county die
not build roads there, and the worl
that was done was largely donatet
by farmers in work and money b,
our citizens.
i Every school house and church tina
was built in those early days wal
built by donation and club member,
were always liberal.
