WILL
BE HELD HERE
Plan for F all Horse
Show is Proposed
Tuesday.

Prospects are bright fdr a new
show arena, race track and fine fall
horse show in Caldwell this year.
Tuesday evening, this week, pro-
posal to build a track and grand
stand on city property, now vacant,
adjoining Memorial park on the south
and west, was presented to local
business men at a special meeting
OF the board of directors of the Cald-
well Commercial club and Develop
ment league.
Last days of September and early
days Of October have been tentatively
designated as dates for the show that
will be given under auspices OF the
Caldwell cavalry troop, commanded
by Captain Nerve Mcconnell. Five
Idaho cavalry troops will participate
in the gymkhana. Grace, Gooding,
Boise and Weiser troops will be here,
according to Captain Mcconnell.
Details OF the plans for construc-
ton OF the plant in which to give this
show which last year proved so popu-
lar locally have not been worked out
as yet No difficulty is expected, how
ever. in completing arrangements for
the show nor will there be any ques-
ton abou, financing it. is the opinion
OF those who heard Mayor John
Smeed discuss the plans Tuesday
evening.
Caldwell business men, affiliated
with the Retail Merchants association,
have recently been discussing the pos
sibiliiy OF rcviving the old Canyon
county fair this fall Whether this
plan will materializc to coincide with
the gymkhana dates or whether
earlier dates will be arranged has not
been determined as yet. 1t is said,
however. that there is every likelihood
Of fall fair being held here this
autumn.

Crop is of Fine Quality;
Yield is Said to
Be High.

New Jersey, last year one OF the
most serious competitors for early
Idaho potatoes, is ready now to begin
moving large crop of excellent
quality, according to the federal re-
port issued here Monday by G. d.
Clark, representing the bureau OF
markets. The New Jersey situation is
thus outlined by the report
Advices are that New Jersey is just
opening a season which from the
standpoint of yield and quality will
be the best in years, the acreage is
reported as being about 1870 less than
that of last year, but carly estimates
are that the tonnage shipped will be
about 500 greater. The total ship
ments for 1928 were 6,347 cars, to date
this season 405 cars. The crop in
former years was comprised of ap-
proximately 1870 Giants, this season
there has been decided change in
varieties; the general opinion is that
the acreage is roughly 500 Cobblers,

fiat tire" Mr.. Westcoit asked and
bent himself double trying to find a
fiat" from the drivers seat.
Considerable explanation and parley
followed before the party was per-
mitted to continue. Only the fact
that they were headed in the wrong
direction prevented detention and
more thorough investigation, they were
told. Mr.. Westcott, in attempting TO
establish an alibi, assured the Council
that the boys who were
with him could never have robbed a
hen coop, much less a bank

F or m u | a Given for
Poison to Kill
Pests.

GrasShoppers are working in Can
yon county again this summer in such
number that crop losses are threat
ened. Requests for the most effective
poison remedy have come in large
numbers to A. /. OReilly, former
county agent. Mr.. O'Reilly has pre-
pared this formula and directions for
use of the poison:
4 lbs. paris green, } lbs. flour. 6 lbs.
sugar, . lemons. so gallons of water.
Dissolve the flour in a little cold
water, then add boiling water sufi-
cient to reduce flour to a thin clear
paste free of Jumps. (t is important
that there be no Jumps in paste). Chop
lemons, rind and all. boil and strain
off extract Stir lemon juice and
sugar into the flour paste. Add paris
green and stir in. Stir the whole mix
ture into so gallons of water. Spray
over field with alfalfa weevil spray
machine.
Unless the grasshoppers are work
ing all over the field expense can be
saved by beginning to spray in the
field ahead OF where grasshoppers are
working and then spray back into
part of field where grasshoppers are
In this way you will be
continually driving the grasshoppers
out OF the field and when they re-
turn to feed they will get the poison.

4to 7 days after spraying. This
poison works slowly so do not look

WRIGHT THINKS
BORAH'S PLAN
ON WAR SOUND
Believes Senator Is On
Right Track at Last;
Would Help Re-elect
Him.

Editor Tribune:
Senator Borah's idea OF outlawing
war is all right.
We read in one OF the old spelling
books that poor dog Tray got into
bad company and Jared rather badly;
that was the fate OF Borah when
he fell into the views OF Hiram
Johnson and others. but he partially
retrieved himself when he saw his
error and offered resolution calling
for the disarmament conference.
Few public men have the courage to
perform such a feat. And now with
his outlawry ideas he is getting safely
back TO where he should have been
on the league of nation covenant.
Better late than never"
This league has never been put
squarcly up to the American people
and perhaps never will be but in spite
OF cunning politicians. we are slowly
getting around to il. Borah has been
one OF ldaho's best representatives in
congress and his faithful services in
the interests OF Idaho as well as the
nation should not be forgotten.
| believe he will do more for Idaho
and the great west in another term
in the senate than any other man
that could be selected. His ability
and experience and especially his
association with the progressive people
OF the west for many years, qualities
him for great future usefulness.
Though lifelong Democrat voted
for him in his last election and think
would do so again If was in
Idaho.
The history OF the last congress
demonstrates clearly that in the near
future the great west will predomin-
ate in the councils of the nation at
Washington, D. c.
Idaho with its present prominence
cannot afford to play second fiddle in
that great arena. Oregon is a close
second to Idaho in its progressiveness
but for want of more intelligence she
made a bIunder when she swapped
off George Chamberlain in the SEN
ate for what she got In her efforts
to better the education of the voter
she has initiated the Idaho compulsory
school law, but special interests are
now trying to defeat it through the
courts.
When ] crossed the plains in 1904
from the Missouri river to Idaho !
travelled more than a thousand miles
without seeing a dwelling house. The
valleys of the Platte were covered
with bare buffalo bones from the
Loupe fork to the mountains, which
many OF the emigrants used as a
book, of their date and
destiny. The region is now occupied
by many towns, villages and farms
and the most energetic people in the
world
The great west from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean and from
Texas to British Columbia is going to
rule this nation and the decadent
east can sit up and take notice.
Western culture is ready to meas
ure the lance any day with Chicago
and New York City rufianians, with
versus Bolshevism.
