Cannot Rely on Line.
We now have reached the point
where further delay means that the
people of this section will be placing
their faith in "false Gods" in other
words relying on this road for service
to handle the crops of the coming sea
son. and we take this opportunity of
presenting the danger of relying on
the present owners for such service.
I'm order that you may know that !,
serious effort has been made to dis
pose of this property elsewhere with
out further presenting the matter to
the people of this section, will say
that ! have just returned from an ex-
tended trip east in which | called upon
and urged the owners of the Boise
Valley Traction company to take over
this property and was prepared to
show them that by a joint operation
OF the properties saving of $50 600 |
or more could be made. While | can
state authoriatively that they were
willing to consider an operating agree !
ment by which they would render such
service as was needed, they stated that
The Caldwell tribune., 1920-04-09

McStay said that Mr.. Scbree was will
ing to dispose OF the property fo
100000, about $3l 900 less than tn,
present appraised value.
Highways Expensive
Speaking of permanent highways to
supplant the line Mr. McStay said
With the present cost Of labor and
Materials. it will cost approximately
$4,000 per mile to build a concrete
highway of sufficient width and base
to withstand heavy trucking. Nor
does this estimate take into considera-
tion the equipment necessary to move
your crop. 1t can be conservatively
stated that it will take an equal
amount of money to provide the equip
ment that is necessary that construc-
ton of highway requires.
Would it not be better to take over
the line, operating p IA miles of
road on basis of $l3333.33 per emile
with all its equipment than to pay
more than two and one half times as
much that amount and then have each
provide his own equipment
is it not more conven
lent to load your spuds at or near the
point Of production than to move them
five or 10 miles for loading,"
In other words. you can buy the
Caldwell Traction company for 40
cents on the dollar OF what it would
cost you to replace it or for twenty
cents on the dollar when you consider
both construction and equipment"
The Caldwell tribune., 1920-04-09

they were not in position to pur-
chase this property outright
1T is clear, therefore, that but one
avenue is open and that is for the peo-
pie directly benefitting to provide the
funds and either operate the road
themselves, giving such service as
their needs demand or to take over the
property and make suitable agree
ment for its operation with the Boise
Valley Traction company. Otherwise
we must dispose OF the property
piccemeal
Little Discussion.
There was very little discussion.
Henry Griffiths suggested that there
should be careful investigation of
the merits Of the offer before definite
action was taken and it was upon his
motion that committee of three as
a ways and means committee, was ap-
pointed by M S Sandmeyer, who
presided, after community elections
were used to, select committeeman.
Several farmers expressed their be
lief that loss Of the use OF the road
would b severe handicap to them
Just what will be the status OF the |
Wilder line was not clearly brought |
'ut although Mr., MoStay asserted that
he lease would be ahrogated and or
ration placed again in the hands OF
he q. ), l., who own it. He thought
likely that return would be made
o infrequent service.
Asked to make definite offer, Mr..

In writing of civil war days in Dear

great length in order to record even

those stirring days. or else just strike
the high spots. The latter course
must pursue.

BOYS in Blue" marched away to the

glorified record and in the course of

were sounded, while few of their re-
naming comrades would fire the last
salute over their graves-and very
many to sleep in unmarked graves in
the sunny southland How well | re-
call the days of preparation, of drilling,
of keeping step to the inspiring martial
music of the fife and drum, and little
later the good-byes and fond embraces
of mothers, sisters and sweethearts.

later the 18th company. and not long

How fine the boys" did look in their
bright blue uniforms and their brightly
polished bayonets glistening in the sun.
But how different the homecoming -
returning by twos or threes, struggling
along with clothes in all manner Of CON
ditions, their big light blue overcoats
reaching nearly to their feet, faded and
worn. many of them Juggling the old
musket or rifle that had carried the
message Of death to the intended mark.
At this time my father and his
brother were constructing the Henry

and Commerce streets, and ! watched
these struggling soldier boys as they
came from the depot Young as | was

No band or flag welcoming them home,
their coming not being known in adj

About Rheumatism.

People are learning that is is only
waste of time and money to take medi-
cine internally for chronic and muscular
rheumatism, and about ninety-nine out
of hundred cases are one Of the other
of these varieties. All that it really
necessary to afford relief is to apply

1t costs but 30 cents per bottle. Large

Pies. To these old soldiers is this little poem
ovngly dedicated
What means that little button
Upon the coat of blue,
So very unpretentious
And of plain brown hue?
Why is it worn 50 proudly
Upon the veterans breast d?
1t surely is an emblem.
Or else some silent test.
1t adorns alike the finest,
And many a threadbare vest:
We meet with it in every state,
The north, the east, the est.
Yes, even in the southland.
Where battles fierce were fought,
This little button shows itself
In always the selfsame spot.
All yes, it has its meaning.
That little button brown,
And it's more to those who ear it
Than to king his crown.
To it, the gray haired veteran
Can point with worthy pride,
For it means that for our country
He would willingly have died.
And. too, tbs the littls emblem
That binds as with cords of love
The comrades waiting here below
With the thousands now above.
As its honored wearers are growing
Tis yet more loved by far, few
This little button and badge of brown
To all of the G. A. X.
And as they are gently laid away,
To their last long silent rest,
That little button still has It's place
Upon the veterans breast.
But, oft ! am led to wonder,
( beyond the border line.
In place Of that little button,
A radiant star will shine.

Storm With an Emphasis.

The first storm of snap and pep to
visit Mineral Point this spring swooped
down upon us last Saturday evening be-
tween 8 and 9 O'Clock. There was an
abundance Of rain and some pelting hail,
ALI the worse because Of a driving wind.

ported. Considerable damage was done
ia the sprouting garden plants, and
newly cultivated fields were washed to
a serious extent.
