Thè board held a meet ing Tuesday evening in the study of the pastor, Dr. G. L. Powell, at which Mr. Tourtlelotte of the firm of Tourtlelotte & Fennell submitted a rough draft of the proposed edifice. He was instructed by the board to prepare plans, specifications and es timates for a structure outlined by him. The building will be of thte Italian Renaisance style of architec ture, 100x60 feet yith 30 foot walls, with basement above ground. As soon as the plans are prepared an other meeting of the trustees will be held for the purpose of adopting them. Work will be started imme diately upon the adoption of the plans of the building. The new church building will be located just back of the present building. The main audience room will have a ca pacity of seven hundred persons and the balcony, extending around the entire building, will accommodate four hundred more persons. The ground floor or basement will be used for Sunday school and other purposes. It will be entirely above ground. The building, altogether, will be a splendid and beautiful structure. pastor's views. When seen by a representative of The Tribune, Dr. G. L. Powell said that the trustees had decided upon the new church; that at an early meeting of the trustees the plan would be adopted. He also stated that in the absence of a Y. M. C. A. building in Caldwell, a room 25x65 feet should, in his opinion, be set aside for the young men, in which they could meet, read or write, and enjoy some of the games and enter tainment which the Y. M. C. A. us ually furnish. This was done in two of the churches Dr. Powell has assisted in building and it has proven a great help to the young men of the community. The Doctor feels that this will not only bo good for the town, but a help to the church. The plans of the Methodist church will certainly meet with the approval and hearty support of the people of Caldwell. It is a step in the right direction, and one that will appeal to all. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees Tuesday evening, the Board reorganized by electing Mr. R. S. Madden, president, and Mr. O. V. Badley, secretary. Mr. G. W. Banks was also elected a member of the Board. All members of the Board were present at the meeting. Uovernor Johnson Dead. Governor John A.

Gowen returned from a business and pleasure trip Sunday. He visited his old home at Grand Is land, Nebraska, and transacted busi ness at St. Louis, Omaha, Chicago, Grand Rapids and other points. Re turning home he visited the fair at Seattle. Mr. Gowen reports having had a most pleasant trip. While away he attended the Iowa State Fair with which he was greatly pleased. The stock especially was fine. He witnessed the judging of a string of fifty stallions. The man who did the judging was said to be the best in "tho United States, if not in the world. After throwing out until the number was reduced to 25, he called the committee who had that department in charge and told them he could not select the one entitled to the premium, they were all such perfect specimens. However, he thinks that in the agricultural departments Canyon county has them all beaten to a finish. The grains, grasses and fruits are all superior in Canyon county to anything he saw at Des Moines or Seattle. Mr. Gowen says that while he had a pleasant trip, he was right glad to get back to Caldwell, again. RECEPTION GIVEN THEIR PASTOR A reception attended by between two and three hundred persons was given at the Methodist church Fri day evening in honor of Dr. and Mrs. G. L. Powell. The auditorium of the church had been converted into a spacious parlor, the chairs and pews being removed and the floor covered with rugs. The walls were decorated and. the altar laden with flowers. The church thus presented a most pleasing and inviting appearance. Rev. B. S. Waggener, an ex-Metho dist minister, presided. His remarks were lively and inspiring. He spoke in the phraseology of the soldier, and by his pithy and humerous remarks, both entertained and instructed those present. Rev. G. S. Lawrence, pastor of the Christian church, delivered a brief address of welcome. His remarks were happily worded and frateraally tendered. Dr. Powell's response was equally felicitous. Rev. Stceleman of the Baptist church also addressed a few remarks to the new pastor, which were kind and appreciative. Rev. F. E. Springer of the Presby terian church was also present. Ow ing to a previous engagement, he could not remain for this part of the reception. Mrs. Kyle extended greet ings in behalf of the Ladies' Aid So ciety. A pleasing feature of the reception was a solo by Mr. Raymond Hall. Mr. Hall hns an excellent voice and is a splendid basso. He is a splendid acquision to the musical talent of Caldwell. The music for the reception was furnished by the splendid male quar tet of the Methodist church. The evening passed away most pleasantly, both for Dr. and Mrs. Pow ell and the people who attended.

The circular says: It is recommended that the high schools form themselves into a league for the encouragement of work in de bate and declamation And, in ac cordance with thè precedent set by our neighboring states of Oregon, Washington, Montana and Utah, and such other states as Wisconsin, Min nesota and California, it is recom mended that the League be confined to public high schools. Any school may arrange any debates with any institu tion other than a public high school that it may desire; and it is urged that every school afford its students as many opportunities to debate as ia consistent with other work of the school. But ^uch debates are not con tests within the League. The object of the league is not to determine the debate championship oî the state, or of any section of the state, but to develop ability in publia speaking. It is strongly urged that the mere desire to win debates be subordinated to the work of develop ing the ability of the participants, of interesting the public in the work of the schools, and of arousing interest in impoitant questions of the day. It is urged also that debate work be re garded as a part of the regular work of the schools, and not merely as an intruding, incidental activity. The contests shall all be held on the third Friday in March. The schools shall debate in the year 1909 1910 as follows: Caldwell- Emmett. Weiser-Nampa. Boise-Payette. Meridian-New Plymouth. Mountain Home-Twin Falls. Idaho Falls-St. Anthony. Pocatello-Blackfoot. Mullan-Burke. Coeur d' Alene-Wallace. W ardner-Kellogg. Grangeville- Lewiston. Rathdrum-Sandpolnt. Genessee- J uliaetta. Cottonwood-Nez Perce. Post Falls-Coeur d'Alene. Moscow-Lewiston. Kendrick-Troy. nu. WILL PRECIHCT FAIR The people of Roswell are prepar ing for a fair.

FAIR DIRECTORS' STATEMENT, What the Fair Is—What Is Costs to See IL The writer believes a few of our Canyon county residents do not fully appreciate our county fair and realize the great benefits every citizen of Canyon county derives therefrom, many directly and all indirectly. The fair association was organized in 1900 and has been from Its organl zatlon one of the best county fairs in the northwest, growing from year to year until today many state fairs do not compare with it Its great success is due to many causes, of which we will not at this writing speak of. The fair is a success. Its the greatr est advertising medium that has ever been put before the public. It Is an educational feature of great value to the agriculturalist, hortlculturallBt, stock grower and business men of all classes. Its exhibits surprise many of our own citizens, to say nothing of the stranger who visits the fair, and carries away with him in mind many surprises that he never forgets and which lead him to locate In out grand county. This fair advertises the districts or precincts that display their products The association provides the funds for Its support and tho labor to care for It. It's up to the producer to supply the exhibits and win the prizes. The fair cannot be a success without the support of Canyon county residents Help support the fair and by so doing you are directly benefitting yourself. The association Is the owner of fine new grounds, new buildings, elegant race track, and are Improving the grounds by setting out trees and park ing. This all takes money. It 1« not Just for a few residents to bear the burden. The fair has grown so rapidly and to Buch size that It is necessary CIOTHING FIRN CUTTING PRICES The Caldwell Clothing Co., one of the oldest and most reliable business houses In Caldwell, is conducting a note-worthy sale at T. K. Little's these days. This company purchased a stock of clothing and furnishings from Mr. Little that Invoiced $12,000.00 so we are Informed. This purchase was made because Mr. Little was offering his stock at a bargain and also It en ables the purchasers to displace a keen competitor. As the Caldwell Clothing Co., does not handle boys' clothing, and as the time Is short for tliem to dispose of this class of mer chandise, they are offering some re markable bargains. In fact the prices have been cut all to pieces. Some re markable values are also given In thct entire stock formerly owned by Mr. Little. It Is a fact, acknowledged all, that Mr. Little's stock of gen tlemen's clothing and furnishings were second to none. However, a special effort Is being made to clean out the boys' clothing and furnishings. is undesirable to move any of the Little stock to the Caldwell Clothing company's store In the Odd Fellow block on Main street. The Tribune calls attention to this remarkable sale because we think our readers will appreciate it and can save money by investigating. ThiB Is the season of tile year when all the boys In the family should be outfitted for the Winter. We feel that we our doing the public a duty In calling attention the sale. Mr. Summer W. Dee, the pioneer clothing dealer of Caldwell, Is In qharge of tho store at Little's old Stand. He Is well known as an ex perienced clothier and as a reliable business man. Mr. Kelleher, manager of the Caldwell Clothing Co., Is at the permanent quarters. These two gentlemen have been associated to gether for years. They have built up _ magnificent business—ope that has grown and Is still growing. You make mistake In calling at either store. At present we would recommend that you first see whether there Is anything in the Little stock to suit you. If there is you can save money. If there is not you can find exactly what you want at the regular store in the Odd Fellow block. Rebekahs Entertain. The Rebekahs of Caldwell appro priately commemorated the fifty eighth anniversary of the founding of the order Monday evening. Fully 100 Rebekahs and Odd Fellows were pres ent. Music and charades furnished the entertainment of the evening. Re freshments consisting of Ice cream and cake were served. An Impromptu program was carried out. Altogether most enjoyable evening was spent. Elsmere Case Dismissed. The case against E. B. Elsmere, charged with peddling without a li cense, was dismissed, In the probate court yesterday. Elsmere is held, however, awaiting the arrival of the sheriff of Washington county, where he is wanted on the same charge. make the general dally admission fifty cents instead of 25 cents* There is some complaint made over the raise to fifty cents. The directors reluctantly made the price 50 cents. It was forced to raise the price of ad mission or abandon the fair. The grounds and Improvements are valued at $30,000.00; the indebtedness is $11,000.00; it is absolutely neces sary to pay this debt, hence the raise of admission to 50 cents. Also remember there is not a fair In the northwest that charges less than 50 cents. A season ticket will only cost five cents a day more than last year. To those who wish to attend the fair more than one day or for the week, can purchase a season ticket for one dollar and fifty cents, good for the five days of the fair, reducing the cost of single admission for the five days to 30 cents a day. • Every indication points to a bigger and better fair this year than ever. Do not think this Is a Caldwell fair. It'« Canyon county's, and its up to every precinct to make a winning ex hibit. Neighbors get together, lay aside old grudges, we have all outgrown any such trifles, make an effort to show your products, your livestock, your good will and desire to boost for your county, the best county in the «täte.
