THE CALDWELL TRIBUNE, W. J. CUDDY, Editor ami Proprietor. IDAHO. CALDWELL CALDWELL. CALDWELL, by virtue of its unc qualed location with reference to the great farming, stock growing and lum bering districts of Idaho and Eastern Oregon, is destined to be the commercial center of all the vast region between S all hake and Portland. Caldwell is situated in the heart of the most populous and vteallhy valley in Idaho, with other settled valleys near and with such an immense scope of arable land adjacent yet to be tahen to injure on agricultural merit alone a city within five years of ten thousand souls. As the mines of Colorado arc tributary to Denver and those of Utah to Salt Lake, so will those of the middle northwest be tributary to Caldwell, because geography and rail and wagon routes are with us. Caldwell is beautiful for situation, possesses one of the best climates in the world, the right kind of people to insure the fostering of institulioes and enter prises which are calculated to make life worth living for—hence will be an at tractive home. We are here because we believe all the we to come and share with us the inevitable fruits of a 'good, earnest fight for the development of Idaho and the commer cial, social^_and political supremacy of Caldwell. We are still without a governor. • — " ■ ■■ ■ ■■ -— Wanted —at Caldwell, a flourmill. One continual source of surprise in these generally dull days is the steady sale of lots in Caldwell. There can be no doubt that if Henry Ward Beecher was a young man he would come to Caldwell. If Boise does not want the worst side of the truth told in varions matters, let Boise call oft her hounds. This year will see a heavy immigra tion to this valley. Caldwell will grow exceedingly in consequence. Mr. H. K. Hartley pays his compli ments in the last Democrat to the Mid dleton party referred to in the next col umn. _ As the utility of the telephone be comes known, the lines spread. The great and enterprising west has a mile age of wire that does it oredit. The branch road to Boise will be a better thing for Caldwell than most people think. We wish Caldwell had as good prospects for half a dezen branch roads. We hope Governor Murray, ot Utah, will be reappointed. His defeat will be and an irreparable loss to national cency and national morality. The Statesman objects to calling the Too bad he was not consulted. If not too late, we sug gest changing it to "O. K." (which means "Old Knuts"), and make him sponsor. "Will Caldwell ever have another boom P" asks the hide-bound Boise De publican. Yes, in a few weeks. Then we'll out off a chunk and send it np to show you what metropolitan life and vigor is. _ For the information of all whose de sire is to decry the Caldwell FREE bridge, we state that the money to build it was raised by voluntary subscription and not by enforced, illegal taxation. Boise is not yet out of the woods in its bridge affair, and it would better be come some people to do less "hollering" »bent our bridge. The war has commenced by those two rival towns, Caldwell and Weiser <'ity, and the way they will run each other down when spring opens will as tonish the natives. - Ketchum Keystone. There is no war. On the contrary, Caldwell gave the ne'*' town a number of people for a starter. We cap spare them- We want to help these weak (owns. new town "Weiser. Tjikrk is an awful spectre in the Boise horizon. In Singiser's reappor tion ment bill they see a possible remov al of the capital and—Shades of Hades! —it might go to Caldwell. Well, Cald well is br,oa4 enough and long enough to hold it, but we don't know as we care for it very much. We will bo a com mercial and manufacturing conter, sup- , plying all Idaho and half Oregon, and I some central town say Hailey -will do well enough for a capital. We pre tor business to corruption. When the , _, . . . r , . . county seat of Ada county is moved to Caldwell, however, we cannot io justice to the large majority decline to receive ;t. As Boise intimates that Mr. Stra bon. .*« *, mbop he pome» up from Weiter. WANTED—A GRIST MILE. Will a few of our fanner friends lend us their ears for a few moments on a matter that concerns them deeply P We want a &rist mill in Caldwell and so do they. We want them to take hold of this thing, work it up, and run the con cern. We don't want them to ever again go to Middleton or Boise for flour and pay $7.00 a barrel, with the haul extra. We want them to own and run a mill here. The profits the Middleton and other millers make in a year upon their custom alone will equip a mill. Power will be cheap and plenty. Slock at $10 a share, the individual amount limited, will be subscribed for quickly. Then the Middleton correspondent of the Boise Democrat will not have occa sion again to yawp as he did last week, as follows: y , our loDg-oared friend across the river, Does he not know that the ''good people of that vicinity" tried to get those mills to grind their grain and give them the flour at a figure which would pay the farmer a reasonable price for his prod ( I am told that nearly all the mer chants (that is, the new element or comers) are importing and selling Salt Lake flour and grain. There must be something wrong with the «good people of that vicinity if they patronize a set of men that are spoiling directly their (the farmers) own business; and the mer chant that expects to make money out of a farming community and tries his best to cripple the farmer in that way, must either be a fool or take everybody in this country to be one. There must be something wrong with . , . of charge for accommodation P Does he not know that Mr. Frank Coffin offered to build a house adjoining his store and sell Mr. Thurman's floor without oharg ing a cent for handling it, if Mr. Thur . . .. u o T , , man would bring it hereP Does he not know that all these offers were declined for the reason of a cursed hatred of Caldwell and all in itP If the yawper does not. he has all the less excuse, for of all the liars on the face of the earth, ment" offered to handle that flour free the ignorant liar is the most despicable. If he does, in writing in that manner he _ „.h fu . . , i more gall than most mortals possess; he must have been born with two galls. If a mill is started here the merchants •h ... , ... will take the product quickly in prefer enoe to the imported article. Then we can let the howlers howl louder than ever. We believe the project is a good one, easily perfected. ' We want Mr t 7 -. 11 -,. m Ir- .. ' ive tar, Mr. L-auaway, Mr. Ktnkatd, Mr. Holbrook of Riverside, Mr. McHenry of Star, and lots of other men who have j borne this oppression long enough to give this matter a good deal of thought. " „ . , ... . """s" 1 ' confident of their ability as a committee on ways and means to devise a remedy. | - — I It will be a good day for Caldwell I when the branch road to Boise is built. It will be a good day when we have fmlf n. rwm i ,, . half a dezsn railroads on the ground j uow covered by wagon roads. Firm in this belief, we ask a large attendance at the railroad meeting Tuesday night. Tha object of the meeiing is a simule I K Simple THE RAILROAD MEETING. r. ■ m one. Ihe Boise City committee, Messrs. Bush and Brumback. having secured the right of wav to the north soiiureu me ngnt 01 way to tne north bank of the Boise, Caldwell is askod ' " . secure it on this sida. Now if this road was to benefit Boise alone, we would kick hard, but as it will add to the ad vantages of Caldwell immensely, we desire to help it. The roadbed out of Caldwell passes through the farm of Mr. B. F. Young about three-quarters of a mile. Air. Young has given more than his share already, and it will not be fair to ask more. Ho will sell the necessary strip at a reasonable valua tion. Business men and all others who will share in our increased prosperity ought to buy that ground. The meet ing is called to see if they will. So we hope to see them there with open hearts and open pocket-books. A QUESTION OE VERACITY. [Statesman, Slat.] In spit© of all obstacles in the shape of intended comments and otherwise, the Capital City will oontinne to enjoy her free bridge and other blessings. {Democrat, goth.] Judge I'rickett has granted a tem porary injunction restraining the city council from collecting the tax recently levied to help buy the bridge. "An honest man is the noblest work work of God," Mr. Kelly. Caldwell continues to be the best town in this or any other part of Idaho. Ask Seth Oliver, the Shoshone post master. who was here Sunday, if it isn't so. Ask Judge Brumback and J. H. Bush, of Boise, who were hero Tuesday. Ask VV. C.
