Miss Caldwell's Engagement.

Mrs. Doc John Caldwell, of Unior
City, Tenn, announces the engage
ment of her daughter, Mary Pauline
to Harold Edwin Dodd, oe Oxford
Ala. The wedding will take place
at the home of the brides mother
on Main street in Union City, Tenn
late in May.
A number of pre-nuptial affairs
have been given and others are be-
ing planned to compliment Miss
Caldwell. Among these was the
dinner on Friday evening, given by
Miss Malissa Hudson at the Tulane
Hotel. The table was set in one of
the private dining rooms of the ho-
tel and had for the central decora-
tion crystal vase of pink rose buds,
and at each end of the table silver
candelabras, holding unshaded pink
tapers gave the light.
The places were marked with hand
painted cards and miniature bas-
kets filled with bon-bons. Miss Hud-
son was assisted by her mother, Mrs.
John T. Hudson. Miss Caldwell's
gown was of white rajah silk en-
broi .ered in chow, with which she
wore hat to harmonic. Her flow
ers were Ophelia roses.
On Saturday evening, Mrs. Mar
garet Hard Buchanan entertained
at her home on Russell street, as
compliment to Miss Caldwell. Vel
low and white flowers were used in
the home decorations. Progressive
heart dice was the diversion. At
the conclusion of the game salad
course was served at the card tables.
Saturday at 1 o'clock Miss Cald-
we'll was the honor guest at a
luncheon given at the Commercial
Club of which L. X. Arlington, In
surance Commissioner; T. e. Miles,
deputy, and J. F. Williams, actuary
Of the Tennessee Department of In
surance, were hosts. The table was
set in one of the private dining
rooms. The guests included the
of the Insurance Depart
ment, with which Miss Caldwell has
been connected for the past four
ars. Following the luncheon there |
was a matinee box party at one of |
the local theatres.-Nashville Ten

Computed on the present basis Of
taxation the public schools of Union
City for the school year of 1920-21
according to the above figures, which
are as nearly accurate as possible
will cost altogether $1O,445 in ex-
cess of the total revenues.
Now few more figures to en-
phasize the point. Suppose the city
school tax is double, but the State
and county tax is the same. The in
crease would bring the total revenue
up to $24,600, still nearly four
thousand dollars short of the total
yearly expense account as it is fig
ured for 192O-21
Now, the taxpayers have been
given to understand and many of
them expect the State and county
tax to- exceed very little if any the
total individual tax for 1920, to be
collected in 1921. The assessment
is much larger but the rate is auto
matically reduced in the same ratio.
So it is to be expected that if the
State school tax is not increased
the city school tax must be largely
increased if we maintain our city
schools at the present standards.
The subject furnishes food for
thought. What are we going to do
about it?
How are we going to provide for
the excess of $4,000 for the schools?
This is the problem, and there
are many municipalities all over the
United States puzzling their heads
over it.
In this connection we would like
to mention the fact that the present
school board has been very careful
and conservative. Teachers salaries
have been raised but not a dollar
more than will be absolutely neces-
,ary to get competent teachers.
There is not altogether feeling of
safety over the matter. Mr.. Miles,
he secretary, has been devoting
| great deal of his attention to the
school and watching every dollar of
expense. The interests of the school
lave been religiously guarded, and
or all of this we are indebted to the
work of the board
Shall we provide for our schools?

College Students
Judge Show Grain
Two Teams Entered for
Nampa Exhibit.

Boise.-One of the added attractions
at the state seed show held at Nampa,
January 10 to IA inclusive, will be the
college seed judging contest, accord
ing to c. B. Allison, assistant field
agronomist of the extension division.
1t has been customary to send stock
judging teams from the various COL
leges to the livestock shows. This
year the directors of the Idaho Seed
Growers association voted to include
in their program seed judging con-
test between the colleges of the north
west This will be an annual event.
The teams will consist of three men
each. The University of Idaho and
Oregon Agricultural college will be
the contestants this year, Utah and
Washington finding conditions such
as to make it impossible to compete
There will be IL classes of seeds
to judge-wheat, oats, barley, alfalfa,
red clover, dent corn, Melted Gems,
Idaho Rurals, peas, beans, timothy
and white clover All classes will be
judged on the basis of their value for
seeding purposes and each class will
consist of four samples to be placed
in order of merit.
A large loving cup will be given to
the team winning the contest, The
cup will remain the permanent prop
erty of the school winning three times
Until then, it is to be returned at re-
quest Of the secretary previous to the
annual show.
The Bonner county seed potato
growers, the Bingham county Grimm
alfalfa growers and the Twin Falls
wheat growers will present cups to
the teams winning the potato, alfalfa
and grain judging contests, respec-
lively. In addition, an official medal
of the association will be presented
to the first. second and third high
point man in the contest of the Il
classes.
Arrangements have been completed
for the sending OF three federal voca
tional teams to the seed show, one
each from Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. As large quantities of higf
quality seed will be available at thu
seed show, it is expected that this
contest will prove highly educationa
to the men who represent the various
colleges, as we'll as to onlookers.

First Unit Lands
Will Be Reclaimed
Five Thousand Acres in
Cultivation in 1921.

Five of the six thousand acres of
land under the first unit of the Black
Canyon project will be in cultivation
next summer" was the declaration
made Monday by ]. M. Thompson, To-
cal attorney, who is widely known as
a close followed and booster for re-
clamation work and who has been
closely identified with the Black Can
yon project for number of years.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
bitches which will supply water for
the first unit. Under reclamation serv-
ice direction, lining the side hill canal
on the outskirts of Caldwell has been
pushed all winter and is nearing COM
pletion, together with such construc-
ton WORK as has not been undertaken
earlier. On the other side of the riv-
err the contractors have been some
what delayed by failure of machinery
and equipment to be delivered as early
as was intended but this work is also
well under way and will be prosecuted
with all possible speed
Virtually every foot of the first unit
is patented land, only two desert
claims remaining without tie pending
delivery of water. Most of it is owned
by practical farmers and men who will
see that it is farmed. 1t is expected
that within another year. almost the
entire tract will be in cultivation and
producing bumper crops.
Mr.. Thompson is planning a trip tc
Washington sometime about the mid.
die of January in the interest of thc
appropriation made for the diversion
dam which. if built, will insure recla.
nation of many thousands of acres Of
arid lands between Caldwell. and En-
NETT, Emmett already has a repre-
sentative in Washington pushing thi.
appropriation which has been recon-
mended by the reclamation service.

Pioneers Celebrate
Golden Anniversary
Christmas Day Marked Passing OF
Fiftieth Anniversary of Marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. H N. Maxcy.

A most happy and delightful cele-
bration of their golden wedding was
held by Mr. and Mrs, II. N. Maxey,
pioneers of Caldwell, at their home
on South Nineteenth street, Christ
mas day.
Mr.. and Mrs, Maxey were married
in southern Illinois 50 years ago. They
came to Idaho SO years ago, andshave
made their home here ever since, with
the exception OF few years spent in
California. Mr.. Maxey is therefore
one of the real old timers and pio-
neers of Caldwell. He still retains
the happy generous disposition for
which he has always been noted,
though for some months he has been
in failing health. Mrs. Maxey is one
of the true mothers and home makers
of America, and between them they
made this day feast of joy and good
things not to be forgotten.

Legion Nets Nice
Profit From Show

About 500 in cash was Melted the
local American Legion post by the
"Revels of Red Gulch" staged last
week for three nights at Danceland
according to Dick Beatty who had &C
tive charge of the arrangements and
supervised the show during the three
nights. Total receipts ran somewhere
in the neighborhood of $1,000. For the
character of the show given, the net
gain is considered to be exceptionally
good.
With Thursday evening, the final
night. "Revels" reached their zenith.
1t was this night that the Elks had d.
rect charge of the affair. Not to be
outdone in any particular by those who
directed the destines of the pioneer
town the preceding two nights, the
Elks put blazing badges on number
of members, made of them deputy
sheriffs and sent them out into the
snowy night to round up anybody who
had not voluntarily shown up at the
hall. All recreants were promptly
fined Immediately upon their arrival.
During the closing night, those who
played the games OF chance were UNIV
formly more successful than they had
been on the two preceding evenings
Candy went out hand over fist and a
raid on the blanket concession game
threatened to provide major portion
of Caldwell families with lot of new
bedding for the winter. Only DR.. A.
F. Isham, who protected the turkeys
and geese frA an avaricious crowd
managed to turn in creditable prof,
on the final nights business.

CHR|STMASO DAY
QUIETLY SPENT
Day at Home in Order;
Poor Cared For.

Caldwell enjoyed, rather than cele-
brated, Christmas. There were no
municipal or generally attended public
gatherings of any kind. From every
available source, reports indicate that
almost without exception quiet family
affairs were the order of the day. Late
in the week, the city schools and the
College of Idaho closed for the holi-
days. At each, fitting services and
programs were given.
In Caldwell, under the direction oil
the local Moose lodge with consider
able outside help, provisions and
Christmassy stuff were distributed
among the poor. Two trucks, one
loaned by the Hardwood Creamery
company, and the other by Mr.. Gard.
liner, local transfer man, were used
in distributing the supplies. Women
members of the Moose auxiliary, sup
erintended this work. Among those
who aided were Mrs. Harold Blunt
chairman; Mrs. Della Wander Venter
Mrs. Harry Roman; Mrs W. R. Wiki.
erson; Mrs. Richardson, and Mrs
Lampkin.

EASTERN IDAHO MAN
IN RACE FOR SPEAKER

Peter Johnson of Blackfoot, will
have the support of the Canyon coun-
ty members of the house of representa-
tives as speaker of the house, accord
ing to Cecil Weeks chairman of the APP
preparation committee at the last ses-
sion and who will probably serve in
the same capacity when the legisla-
ture convenes again. In answer to a
letter written recently by Mr.. Weeks
suggesting that Mr.. bhnson become a
candidate for the speakership, the lat
ter signified willingness to do so.
Several other men have been men
toned for this honor, but Johnson is
looked upon locally as being the prob
able selection of the members of the
house for this important office.

Two Emmett Youths
Sent to St. Anthony
Boys Who Robbed Con Dewey Take
Philosophical View of Threaten
ed Penitentiary Term.

Paul Shaw and Robert Stanley, two
Emmett youths, charged with having
help up w. c. Dewey in Nampa re-
Gently, were sentenced to the state in
dustrial school by Judge Ed l.. Bryan
of the district court, when they appear
ed before him Monday afternoon.
After having held up Mr.. Dewey re-
Gently and having taken gold watch
and some currency from him, the two
boys when arrested at Nampa room
ing house, confessed that they had
committed the crime. Too great a
familiarity with the moving picture
lure was the thing that prompted the
crime, according to their story. Nam
pa peace officers, who made the arrest,
narrowly averted death when one of
the boys lacked nerve to pull the trig-
ger on a revolver he held in his Goa,
pocket and which covered the officers
The idea for the entire escapade was
built upon similar plots portrayed
through the moving pictures, according
to the boys confession.
Monday morning at the county Jai
where they were held pending sentence
tie boys took a philosophical view 81
their predicament. Stanley, when Wis.
tied by friends, told them he was going
to learn trade in the state industrial
school and then closely follow it after
liberty was again granted him.
"lf we are ever paroled, you bet we
won't break it," he declared.

APATHY SHOWN
ON NATTER Of
WATER ISSUES
Lack of Interest Likely
to Cost Failure of Pro-
ject's Big Irrigation
Case.

Fear is expressed that apathy and
general lack of knowledge will defeat
the compromise agreement reached re-
Gently by the Payette-Boise Water
Users association and the U. S. R. S.
which is designed for all time to settle
the controversies relating to the Boise
project without asking federal court
decree of Arrow Rock and Deer Flat
waters by directors OF the association.
This matter will be submitted to the
waters users under the Boise project
for approval at the annual meeting to
be held Monday, January 10 at the
American theatre in Caldwell.
Efforts to arouse interest in this i'm
portant matter by holding series of
community meetings have thus far met
with little success, according to L. J..
Magee, secretary of the association.
Citing an instance of the general atti-
tude prevailing relative to the matter,
Mr.. Magee said that at meeting held
last week in the Scsm community
where 200 voters live, only about "a
attended the meeting.
Must Have Majority.
On the project there are 2073 voters.
To carry, the stipulations must be fav-
ored by a majority of all this vote and
not merely majority of the actual
votes cast, according to MI. Magee.
Failure to vote is thus vote in op-
position to the plan. Landowners I'M
der the project, not including those in
irrigation districts, are entitled to vote.
Ballots have already been mailed out
They may be returned to the water
users office here or held until the an
nual meeting when the official canvass
will be made. Two proposals are CIV
en- on each ballot, on relating to the
enlargement of the New York canal,
the other to the enlargement of the
Mora canal. To support both is the
only way to register approval of the
entire plan, according to Mr.. Magee,
who says that to vote for only one is
construed as a vote against both since
in actuality it fails to register an OPT
Mon on the entire issue and is thus re-
garded as failure to vote at all.
Failure to approve the stipulations
will result in forcing the issues back in
to court and will make it essential for
Judge F. S. Dietrich to decree the wa
ter. In Mr.. Magee's opinion, such &C
ton will result in curtailing the water
to an average of two and one hall
acre feet per annum forrproject lands
Under the terms of the stipulation
water users will be granted about 3.s
acre feet. the exact amount depending
on the classification of the lands irri-
gated

foot OF water per annum to them, &C
cording to prevalent opinion.
Thus far little opposition to the
terms of the stipulation has appeared.
1t is not opposition that will defeat
this agreement at the annual election,
i'll the opinion of Mr.. Magee, so much
as it will be negligence of the water
users to famaliarize themselves with
its terms and Importance and then neg
lect to vote.

members, will be elected.

RAILROAD SAID
TO FAVOR LINE:
FROM H0MEDALE
Extension Will Be Rec
commended to Pickle
Butte at Annual Meet
ing in January.

Assurance has been received locally,
both from the state public utilities
commission and direct from officials
of the Union Pacific railroad that the
proposition of extending the Home
dale branch of the Oregon Short Line
from Homedale to the Pickle Butte
bridge will be submitted at the an
nual meeting of the board of direc-
tors Of. the company together with a
recommendation that the construc-
ton be undertaken. The annual meet
ing of the board of directors is to be
held in New York in January.
Whether the present financial strin-
gency will permit construction of the
road is not known here but it is under
stood that the tight money market is
probably the OILY thing which will
prevent adoption of the plan. Figures
on the cost of the proposed work are
not available here but about seven
miles of railroad building is contemp-
lated. Grading costs will be COM
paratively small because of the en-
tire absence of fills and cuts. At
present the road is built for distance
of about two miles above Homedale
and the entire spur will be slightly
more than seven miles in length.
Talk Sugar Factory.
- Farme I'm the Gem district have
shown considerable activity in the
matter of the construction of sugar
beet factory incident to the construc-
ton of. his road. Some time ago,
a representative of one of the COM
panies operating in Idaho pledged
erection of factory providing the
extension was built and the farmers
of that district signed contracts to
raise in the aggregate not less than
1000 acres of sugar beets per annum
on two-year contract.
Since that proposition was made the
Amalgamated Sugar company has pur-
chased the property of the other con-
Germ. However, a representative oil
the Amalgamated company will be
here some time in January-to look ov-
err the local field. Efforts are being
made to interest enough farmers in
the sugar beet industry to warrant the
construction of factory at Caldwell
thus charging considerably the terri
tory where beets may be grown to sup
ply the factory 1t is believed that
construction of factory here will in
sure the continued operation of the
: Caldwell Traction company Mcneil
line and its extension to the Pickle
Butte bridge Dumping stations for
sugar beets are constructed at short
intervals along railroads and with the
feeder lines running into Caldwell, II
is believed that factory several times
the size of the one contemplated for
the Gem district might be run at q
profit here
In Weiser, this Fast summer, farm
ers raised thousands of acres of beets
Failure to build factory there max:
it necessary to ship the beets to Twir
Falls factories but the crop proved ex
ceptionally profitable and it extremel,
