PICKLE BUTTE
AGAIN TO FORE
Special Mass Meeting Tuesday
Will Dispose Of Vexatious
Problem

Next Tuesday evening has been set
tor a general mass meeting of Cald
well people to finally dispose of the
vexious Pickle Butte bridge problem
Efforts to place the Commercial club
on record at the regular meeting
Tuesday night finally failed when the
argument was presented that atten-
dance did not Justify taking such an
important step.
ID, {. Ruby, an advocate of either
of the two lower sites in preference to
the Pickle Butte site, equipped with
maps and a familiarity with the prop
osition not matched by others at the
meeting, lead the campaign favovng
the Froman's Ferry or the middle
site, He asserted that since it was
not now possible, for financial rea-
sons to construct bridge at Pickle
Butte, and since either or the other
two sites were both cheaper and bet
ter adapted to fit the interests of
CALDWELL local efforts should be de-
voted to getting the location of the
bridge changed.
Opposite Develops.
Opposition t. his fotion that a spec
ial committee be appointed to wait on
Governor d, w. Davis and submit
the full proposition to him was voiced
on the ground that the Caldwell com
mercial club had disposed Of the mat
ter once, that an agreement with
Nampa interests locating the bridge
at Pickle Butte could not be hastily
repudiated and that special commit
tee to present the matter to Governor
Davis was not the correct procedure
in the matter.
In answer to these objections, DR..
+. M. Cole presented an amendment
to the motion authorizing the regular
bridge committee to confer with
similar group from the Nampa Cham
Der of Commerce in an effort to get
the two towns together on the prob
lem. NJ. S. Sandmeyer, Ernest Bed

and DR.. F. M. Cole expressed varying
opinions.
With namended motion pending
before the house, Mr. Gowen SUBMIT
ed that in the absence of many vital
ly interested persons and the rather
small attendance. it was not advisable
to take definite action. He introduced
motion that the matter be laid on
the table. His motion carried. Next
Tuesday evening was finally selected
as the most advisable time to hold a
special meeting devoted to cleaning
up the problem.

night when the Local team III cets Boise

from two games added to the won

of 1924 Since that time, Boise lost
to Mountain Home by a narrow mar
gin of one point at Mountain Home.

gether with the recommendation that
cluster lights be installed throughout

Tor city lighting with the Idaho Pow

bringing the matter of city lighting
