The foregoing was received in Cald-
well Monday. 1t indicates that there
is something more than good grounds
for the plea that The Tribune has
been making consistently for the past
six weeks to insure complete and
adequate census. 1t is further evident
that until the present time, reports
from the enumerators who are work.
ing here, show so far that Caldwell's
population has not increased during
the past ten years.
Caldwell business men and others
familiar with the growth of Caldwell,
especially during the past year, know
that the 1910 figures should be greatly
exceeded. The city has been enjoying

a rapid growth. The Tribune does
not take any special pleasure in say
ing I'VE told you So" but the fact re-
mains that this paper has continually
used every devise within its power to
awaken Caldwell people to the ser
iousness of the present situation. The
Tribune began calling attention to
the need of cooperation before actual
work started and have been at it per-
sistantly ever since.
Census figures are official, they can
not be changed no matter how much
in error they may be and they stand
for 10 years Caldwell has a real duty
to perform in the next four days.

FOR THIS YEAR
Unusual Activity Already Shown
With Many Large Ventures
Awaiting Spring Weather.

the building prospects for Caldwell
look just at present with every indi
cation pointing to the greatest year
in Caldwel's history In spite of the
extremely long continued cold wea-
Their. building has been persistantly
carried forward during even the cold
est weather on such structures as were
begun in the late fall. Others, for
which plans were drafted, have been
merely waiting for spring to open up.
Saturday, the Interior Warehouse
company closed a deal for the pur-
chase of 1900 barrels of cement to be
used in erecting a $4,000 warehouse
and grain elevator on Main street op-
posite the Troy laundry. Contracts
for this structure have already been
let and building will begin shortly.
New Theatre Soon.
Plans have been completed and bids
were called Monday for the erection
of the new theatre which Martin Jen-
sen is having erected for Ike Waters

tire. This structure will have seat
ing capacity of about 800 will have
adequate stage facilities for the pres
entation of any travelling company
which may choose to visit Caldwell
and will be modern throughout In
addition to this building, three others
will be erected at the same time to
completely fill all the space between
the Bungalow and the Commercial

shortly begin construction of that
building for their new home. A two

ground floor of which may be devoted
to commercial purposes if the upper
story is sufficiently large to accom-

Twenty Per Cent. Increase
Shown In Post Office
Business

Gross postal receipts at the local
post office Increased about 70 per cent
in 1919 over the 1918 figures, accord
ing to figures recently compiled here
in accordance with request from
the post office Inspector. In 1918
under straight three cent postal
rate, the gross receipts reached $780,
770.4O. During 1919, on straight
two cent basis, the gross receipts
were $3O,O32.6O.
The United States post office de-
partment figures that the additional
revenue gained by the three cent rate
is 1907 per cent. On this basis, the
Caldwell post office receipts increas-
ed approximately $4,000 or almost 20
per cent.
Figures for the Nampa office have
not been published but according to
the post office inspectors when he
visited the local office, incomplete
calculations indicated that they would
be somewhat less than $4,000 1t is
assumed on this basis that there is
little discrepancy between the two Of
fices.
No New Building.
To obtain a first class rating, $40,-
coo annual gross receipts are neces-
sary. Increase at the rate set dur
ing 1919 would make easy, first class
office in two years. Figures on the
basis of 20 per cent increasethis
year, gross receipts will lack only
$4,000 of the necessary $4,000 and
1921 should see that figure safely
passed.
In accordance with the general re-
trenchment plan adopted by congress,
there is no probability of getting a
new post office building here this
year.
Appropriations will not be made
for federal buildings of this kind ex-
cept where the termination of the
lease or other conditions make it abb
solutely essential.
The 10 year leased possessed by the
local office for their present quarters
does not expire until June IL, 1921
Colin Mcleod is the owner of the
building. By that time, unless new
federal building is erected, it will be
necessary to obtain additional room
to that already occupied. Bushes:
has increased so materially as to ser
iously hamper postal officials in Their
present quarters, especially durin,
the busy seasons.

GRIEF EVERYWHERE

I'm in land enchanting,
where springtime always dwells,
and birds are gallivanting around
me, wearing bells. Here no
one ever freezes, no sunstroke
threatens me. and here the
soothing breezes come sighing
from the sea It's like a dream
.of Eden. one fower-bespangled
lawn, land to rest and read in,
and bid ali woe begone. Here
we should all be joyous, where
tranquil springtime lives, where
nothing can annoy us in all that
nature gives. Yet here men dig
up sorrow, and if no grief they
own, theygo around and borrow
some woe DER which to groan.
This morning | was sitting be-
meath some tropic trees;
stranger with his knitting came
up to share the breeze. l said
to him, 20 stranger, this is a
wondrous day, and thoughts OF
grief and danger seem worlds
and worlds awayr' He viewed
the distant steeples, the San
Diego towers, and sighed. "The
yellow peoples have spoiled this
land of ours.' And then he
ragged and rumbled. and voiced
his doubts and fears, he ranted
and he grumbled. and shed a
quart of tears. And all through
his repining. and through his
."Woe is me-" a golden sun was
shining upon the sparkling sea.
