Caltapefl xxbmt. V OL 27. NO. 25 CALDWELL, IDAHO. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1907 WEEKLY. $3.00 PER YEAR CALDWELL BANKS STILL STANB PAT The financial panic hns come and gone. It did a great deal of good and some harm. For a few days the New York stock gamblers were ena bled to make things interesting for the country at large, but owing to the abundant prosperity everywhere, a flutter in Wall street could do no permanent damage. The panic has brought some interesting facts to light and the people will do well to remember them. The weak Institu tions were forced to show their hands. This is worth something. With no particular danger the banks of Boise, Nampa, Payette, Weiser and »several other towns took advantage of the opportunity to meet all con tingencies. They were afraid. It will be a source of graiflcation to the people of Caldwell and to the Cald well banks for years to come to know that the First National, the Western National and the Caldwell Banking & Trust Company's bank were ready at any time to pay dollar for dollar and no questions asked. The Trib une congratulates Caldwell and its banks. The town is in good condi tion and so are the banks. They will not lose by the stand taken. THE SCIMITAR. Senator Fred T. Dubois' paper, the Idaho Scimitar, is out. Typograph ically It is neat and attractive, being printed on good book paper and got ten up in a neat, workmanlike man ner. The paper reflects credit upon the printer. It is devoted to the anti-Mormon crusade and co pious extracts are made from the Salt Lake Tribune and Goodwin's Weekly, which two papers are the ablest anti Mormon champions in the country. Both are prejudiced, and guided by personal, if not selfish interests. The Scimitar seems to be the out post of the Utah American party, and is the the offspring of bigotry, deceat and hypocracy. The 8cimltar ably, elo quently and fearlessly presents Its views. For this full credit is due, and The Tribune congratulates Sena tor Dubois and his fellow publishers. Senator Dubois as a man deserves great credit from the people of Idaho. He is honest, if prejudiced, capa ble and ttresless. He has done much for Idaho. He stands by his friends. The Tribune admires and respects him. He probably has more personal friends In Idaho than any other man in public life in the state. The Scim itar as a mould°r of public opinion Is sadly handicapped. It has one mis sion and Is not open to reason. It cannot convince because It cannot be convinced. However, The Scimitar Is well worth reading. It can do the worst no harm and might do the best some good. We commend It to our readers. QUAIL SEASON OPENS. November 1st was the first day on which It is lawful in Idaho to shoot quail, and the local hunters are tak ing advantage of It. The season is short, December 1st being the limit of the time and those who get much out of It will have to hasten. And it might also be wise to remember that a game license Is needed before one fares forth on a hunting expédi tion. OIL INDICATIONS PLENTIFUL It has been known for a number of years that oil exists in this por tion of the valley. Several years ago two wells were drilled on the Hopkins ranch to secure water for domestic purposes. In each the water was found so highly Impreg nated with oil that It was Impossible to use it. Samples of the oil were sent to Denver, Salt Lake and Port land to be tested and In each In stance the analysis showed from 78 to 79 per cent pure oil. As a result of the test, H. A. Partridge and John Bloomfleld of Nampa leased the land belonging to Mr. Hop kins, and some development work was done, but operations were soon abandoned and the lease allowed to expire. At that time considerable oil excitement prevailed and num erous claims were staked out on government land on the Butte. At other place«, notably the John Bayss farm, the Indication» are plentiful, oil seeping out of the ground and covering pools of water. The foregoing is taken from the Emmett Index. The Tribune Is pleased to learn that the water of Emmett contains 79 per cent. oil. That is going some. If they could only locate the oil It would be 106 per cent. pure. If you are going to have an oil well, you might as well have a good one. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Real estate transfers for the past week follow: Patent—United States to G. W.

BEAN, County Superintendent. CALDWELL NEWS HAS BAD FIRE Thursday evening about 8:30 o'clock fire broke out In the rear end of the Caldwell News' building, des troying property to the amount of three or four thousand dollar3. The cause of the fire Is unknown. Either the fire originated from the improp er wiring of the building or else some of the employees had dropped a cigar or cigarette some time during the day. *t seems the latter Is more probable. The fire was first discover ed by Editor Burroughs, who was in the front office with J. L. Davis of The Tribune. The two had been there for half or three quarters of an hour before the flre was discov ered. The alarm was immediately given and the firemen responded promptly. It was quickly put out. The Damage. The damage is between three and \ four thousand dollar«-. Editor Bur roughs roughly estimates that the type is damaged to the amount of $1500.00; the machinery to the amount of $1500.00; the paper stock which Is a total loss to the amount of $600.00; and the fixtures and in cidentals to the amount of $500.00, making a total of $4000.00. It will be some time before the actual dam age can be ascertained. It will be a severe loss, however, and the entire sympathy of the people of Caldwell iare with Mr. Burroughs. He has conducted a first class paper since he took charge and the flre at this time is a severe blow. He Intends contin uing the paper. It will be issued as usual next week. The Tribune ex tends its sympathy. An Idea. The flre at the News brings to mind the fact that there are In the flre hall several chemical flre extinguish ers and that these can be used by citizens in case of flre. They would frequently save a great amount of damage. SOCIETY Miss Estel la Capp was the honor guest at a 500 party given at Miss Anabel Little's Chrysanthemums were used as Joeoratious.

Stalker of tbe ~Obautsuqaa course at the Christian ohurcb Sun day evening, was one of tbe beat on tbe «abject ever given in Caldwell, and was appreciated ly a very large aadlenoe. Vincent fît. John, one of the notor ious leadei of the Western Federa tion of Min. rs, was shot at. Goldfleld, Nevada, Tuesday, by Pat Mullaney, another leader of the miners. The trouble started over a dispute be tween the two men. St. John ad vocated that no electric lights should be burned here the power for which was furnished by the California pow er rtant. He Insisted the plant was nonunion and that the ctly should be put in darkness. Mullaney advo cated a different course, and in an argument with St. John he shot the latter. 8t. John is in the miners' union hospital with a fractured arm and lingers. Pat Tennant, a union leader, was hit with a chance shot, was taken to the unlou drug store and thence to the hospital.

Un der the demand for the past five working days the treasury depart ment has increased Its circulation to $7,567,450 and this Is likely to be largely increased. The treasury of ficials hold the belief that the money stringency has had its run and Is in the last stage. A protest has been made to Pres ident Roosevelt by Senator Heyburn against the further deposit of gov ernment money with New York banks until thpse institutions consent to pay the reserves of western banks In cash intead of cashiers' checks. The pres ident requested the senator to put his views in writing. Following is tho text of Senator Heyburn's protest: "On behalf of the western and the northwestern states, I would urge that no further deposits of money from the treasury of the United States be made In dKew York banks except, on the condition that such banks shall immediately make an ad vance In money to the western states. The full amount of the reser ves should be paid by such New York banks. The tying up of many mil lions of dollars of western money representing the reserves of the wes tern banks held by New York banks, must Inevitably result In empower ing the New York banks to determine the time and conditions of a resump tion of banking functions by the western banks, whereas If the reserve of the western banks could be con verted Into available money at once the financial situation of the west would be free from domination on the part of the east and would be of great value In the restoration of desirable financial conditions." Eagles are requested to remember Monday evening. That Is the regu 'lar meeting night. Some important business Is to be transacted. t Joe Gassman, the contractor was down from Middleton this week.
