|Gowen To Attend
June Convention,
Kiwanis' Club Elects Sec
rotary to Toronto
Meeting.

Jess Gowen will represent the Cald.
we'll Kiwanis club at the Internat;on-
al convention to be held in Toronto
Canada, the third week of June. Mr.
Gowen, nominated by the board of
directors, was elected unanimously by
the club membership when his name
was presented at the Thursday lun-
cheon. Mr.. Gowen has been filling
the position of secretary to the club
since its organization here and his
weekly letters have not only been
the subject of much favorable COM
ment among local club members but
have been reprinted at frequent inter-
walls in national Kinwanis publica-
tons.
Preparations are practically COM
plete for the American Canadian
peace anniversary banquet which will
be given next Thursday evening.
The affair is to be the second ladies
night" staged by the local club. 4
~ oSl dHl suitable 10 the occasion IS
being prepared by the program COM
mittee of which F. F. Beale is
chairman.
After rather humorous but none
the less spirited debate on what was
dubbed "the smoke nuisance" the
club membership overwhelmingly de-
cided to taboo smokes at the ban
quet next Thursday evening in defer
ence to women who will be guests O.
the club. Modern tendencies and
flappers came in for scdthing re
marks from those who advocated the
motion to leave cigars and cigarettes
off the menu.

FILE LENS ON
PROJECT LANDS
ON WATER BILL
Water Users Associa-
ton Makes Delinquent
Assessments Matter of
Record against project.

Notice OF leins against Boise pro-
ject lands for unpaid assessments lev
led by the Payette- Boise Water U.s.
ers' association were filed and record
ed at the county recorders office this
week This is the first legal step in
this direction to compel payments OF
assessments made by the association.
About 500 Boise project settlers are
said to be delinquent in one or more Of
the eight assessments levied in the
past by the water users association.
This step has little significance ex-
cept technically. Recording the de-
linquencies means that those who have
not or who have refused to pay as
sessments will find those Delinquent
cies appearing on abstracts of title
as unpaid leins against the land.
Henry Griffiths, attorney for the as
ISOLATION, Thursday expressed the
opinion that such an effect might in
duce many property holders to pay
the assessments rather than have the
Indebtedness appear against the prop
erty, thereby possibly interfering
with its marketable value and as a
hindrance in obtaining loans on it.
Court attempts to collect assess
ments levied by the association fail
ed because all past delinquent assess
ments had not been collected prior
to making new ones. No further eff
fort will be made at present to fore.
payments on these assessments, ac-
cording to Mr.. Griffiths. The amount
is too small to warrant the expense.
he said. But every future assessment
will be promptly followed with re-
cording the delinquent list and, in time
when amounts have become large
enough to make it worth while, it
is considered likely that the court &C.
tion will follow. Foreclosure is the
only course open, according to a re
cent state supreme court decision.
Under the 1906 contract with the
reclamation service, water rights ap-
piled for and payments kept up to en-
title the individual to water. Thus
far no attempt has been made to
cut off the water supply of delin-
quents and it is thought that none
will be taken, at least for the present.
as final means to compel payment
This step is within the province only
of the reclamation service.

Caldwell Resident OBJ
serves 93rd Birthday
Anniversary; Expects
To Round out Century.

Tuesday was red letter day in the
life of Mrs. w. c. Martin of Caldwell

tack of influenza, this patriarch citi-
zen is hale and hearty and confidently
expects to round out the additional
seven years to reach the century mark.

children, four of whom, two boys and
two girls, have passed on. Today she
is living with her son, A. B. Shorty"
Martin at the latter's home, 18th and
Main, Caldwell. Another son, NJ. E.
Martin, is a resident of New Mexico
while the only surviving daughter
Mrs. Minnie Dalstron. lives at Topeka,

N ANY STREETS
ARE IMPROVED
DURING WINTER
City Uses $500 Loads of
Sand and Gravel; Work
Now Practically Com
pleted.

Thirty five hundred loads of sand
and gravel have been dumped, spread
and rolled onto Caldwell streets dur
ing January and March, according to
statement made Thursday by Chris
Leighty, city road superintendent. Not
less than So miles of streets have been
improved, work has been given to
many men and teams and the CITY
now has not less than FIVE we'll i'm
proved highways improved to the
paved district of Caldwell For once
in the history of Caldwell, almost ev-
cry street leading to town is in good
condition. In the past, too frequent
ly the criticism has been made that
county roads are good, principal city
streets are also good but the interven-
ing distances were almost impossible
when weather conditions were not ex-
cellent.
This work has cost the city to date
in the neighborhood of $500 over and
above the ordinary expenses which the
road department would have incurred.
Funds available are practically used
up and when present work under way
is completed, there probably will be
no further notable road construction in
the city for another year through lack
of funds. An audit of the city books
last year uncovered the fact that the
city road fund was Gin the red" about
$4,000. This deficit, due other city
funds has hampered the road depart
ment considerably by limiting funds
available for use on the streets until
this deficit is wiped off the city treas
urer's books.
Two good roads now lead north
from Caldwell. North Kimball ave-
nue. has been graded and surfaced
north of the pavement while the road
leading into town by the Caldwell
Flour Mills is being rapidly improved
and, when surfaced, will be in excell-
ent condition.
Kimbal avenue has been improved
from city limits to city limits, thereby
insuring thoroughfare through town,
north and south, in good condition all
the way. Recent rains have soaked
sand on this street near the park and
have impeded traffic there somewhat
but the return of good weather will
permit dragging and make this street
one of the best in Caldwell.
Tenth street, south of Cleveland
boulevard, has also been recently
sanded. Drags are now operating on
Cleveland boulevard east of the col
lege. Several other roads leading to
CALDWELL from the south and east have
been improved and additional work in
this district remains to be done, ac-
cording to Mr.. Leighty.

Tuesday Marks Epoch in Life Span
Of Mrs. w. c. Martin, True Pioneer

mother, Mrs. Martin having four great
grandchildren, all residents of Kansas.
In her near century of life in AM
erica, Mrs. Martin has seen tremen-
dous transformation in this nation
A true pioneer, she moved from
Michigan, her native state, to Kan
sas, when the Great Lakes district
no longer was the western frontier.
Kansas became her home in territorial
days before the Civil war when the
slavery question gripped the nation.
She lived in that border state during
tn Civil war, saw it develop into a
rich agricultural district and 20 years
ago, still impelled by the desire to
keep pace with the progressing from
tier, came to Idaho. Since that time
she has been Caldwell resident.
Mrs. Martin did not consider the
anniversary Tuesday as anything par.
ticularly noteworthy. Her son. who
using a span of mules as a means Of
livelihood, took the day off" to spend
with his mother, who. he says, has
lived with him ever since he "qui,
living with her" Otherwise there wa.
nothing to feature the day.

That eastern Idaho generally is

No decision has been reached on Mr.

member of the traffic committee
Thursday expressed doubt as to the
value of such services at present.
"Mr. Way spoke of problems cor

MUD ON WILDER
TH0R0UGHFARE
Dixie Highway is Motor
list Bugbear; May Drain
Road; County Works
Payette Highway.

Five automobiles stuck in the mud
on the state highway Wednesday eve
ming and night brought clamors to
the county commissioners Thursday
which cannot be ignored and which,
according to D. J. Westcott, chairman
OF the board, will result in proper
drainage provisions for the road thru
upper Dixie.
About two miles of this important
highway, leading from Caldwell to
the Wilder territory, are in bad con-
dition and in urgent need of consid-
cradle improvements, according to
Mr.. Westcott. This road has been an
eye sore to county commissioners for
several years. 1t has for some time
been designated as a state highway,
however, and efforts to have the road
properly maintained have failed ever
since. Prior to being designated as
state highway, the road was one of
the best in Canyon county; today por-
tions of it are almost impossible.
Drainage canals closely paralleling
the road will be constructed shortly,
according to Mr.. Westcott. This i'm
provement is expected to be of value
both to the Dixie district which the
highway traverses and to the road
itself. Asked when he thought this
work would be undertaken, Mr.. West
colt replied:
well, it should be done at once
but suppose it won't be. Being
state highway, of course, the matter
must go through regular channels, be
approved, and may be quite while be-
fore we can get everything straight
ened out to take it up"

Thursday by Mr.. Westcott.

This work has been pending for
some time and was undertaken only
when the county obtained permission
from the state to usual practice on

equipment, instead of state highway,
are being used. While the road is be-
ing built according to plans prepared
by the state highway department, &C
tual construction is entirely in the
hands of the county.
