CALDWELL EARLY GAVE

Prospects for the thriving city Of

do right now. New buildings are

AS to the location of the city oil
Caldwell, much can be said. Situated
as it is at the foot of THE upper Boise
valley and at the head of the lower
valley. it commands vast amount Of
trade from both of these fertile dis
tricts, which stretch away for miles
i neither direction.
A ride around the city a few days
ago revealed the richness of the sur
rounding country and the prospects
for a bright future.-Statesman.

INTERESTING FACTS
GATHERED FROM THE

CALDWELL 80 YEARS AGO
TWAS EVER THUS.

A drummer by the name of T. c.
Elliot, representing himself to be
travelling for Chicago glass house,
got a team at the Owyhee corral a
short time ago saying that he would
be gone three or four dogs. Some five
or six days later, Mr.. Hollenbeak got
a letter from him stating that he had
been called suddenly to. San Francis
co and that the team was at Weiser.
1t also requested him to send his bill
to San Francisco. Billy got his team
all right all right after paying con-
siderable expense incurred but he has
wasted several postage stamps send
ing bills. Mr.. Elliot was evidently
one of those absent minded men who
forgot where he was going when he
wrote and has not been heard from
since.

Will Maxey has taken the oath of

Pete Mox Mox, the Indian shot by
]. c. Dillman of the Big Bend, suf-
fered the amputation of the arm
through which he was shot last Fri
day. At that time blood poisoning
set in and the only chance for life
was for the injured Indian to undergo
an operation. He expressed his en-
tire willingness if he could postpone
his trip to the happy hunting grounds.
He was removed from the Jail to the
hospital where he was given an aneas-
thetic and the operation performed.
The arm was taken off near the
shoulder. The ball, which had follow
ed up the blood vessels and entered
the SHOULDER, made a more serious
wound than was at first thought. The
surgeons failed to locate it and he
still carries the bullet. 1t was thought
for time that the Indian would NOT
survive the amputation. After it was
over, however, generous dram Of
brandy brought him out in good shape
The last accounts were that he was
waiting for the other arm to be re-
moved to get another drink, after
which he would sacrifice leg or two

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS,

Considerable excitement has been
stirred up this week over the discov-
cry of quarry of magnesia rock.
This rock was found on the Asotin
bench about Is miles from Lewiston
and is of the same kind as the famous
Kansas building stone. R. w. Beale.
of Spokane Falls, has visited the pros
pect and is enthusiastic over the re-
suit. He says that he has worked tons
of the Kansas stone and this is of the
same quality and texture. For build
ing stone and ornamental purposes
the stone cannot be excelled. 1t is
fine grained and easily cut into any
shape. An ordinary pen knife will
whittle it into any form but it hardens
in exposure and has more durability
than brick. II is fireproof and makes
a magnificent building. Many Of the
finest public buildings in Spokane are
of this material.
The vein found is an immense one.
It is thought that it will open up fully
1000 feet deep. 1t is an inexhaustible
supply of the finest building stone
known and in this country, where
building stone is scarce, it will prove a
bonanza to the owners. George M.
Morrison, D. M. White and R. w.
Beale have located four claims cover
ing all Of the outcroppings to be
found. They expect to develop the
quarry at once and will arrange to ad-
vertise its excellence at the Spokane
exposition.
ut is our purpose" said Mr.. Beale,
to arrange magnificent arch of our
rock at the exposition and show the
northwest the beauty and value of the
This is the only quarry of such stone
in the northwest and its development
means great things for Lewiston. 1t
will be cut in large blocks at the
quarry and brought to Lewiston to be
worked up which will give employ
ment to large body of men.
A wood shed and chicken house be-
longing to Riley Cox mysteriously
took fire last Wednesday and raised
quite lot of excitement, as from the
town the burning building was mis-
taken for his house. Caldwell has no
fire department but plenty of anna
teur firemen as everybody ran TO give
what assistance he could and prevent
the flames from spreading. Had the
census enumerator been hire, Cald-
wells population would appear 1892 in
the official count. There was no wind
and consequently little damage done.
The official census gave Boise City
S89Z population and if the indignant
citizens of that place could get Their
hands on the census enumerator, there
likely would be lynching bee. The

Trade, loudly claim 1000 at the very
