CALDWELL TRIBUNE
RAMBLER'S LETTER
Pleasant Ridge, July 5.
Editor Tne Tribune:—It wa> with
mingled feelings of pleasure an 1 hope
that, mounted on a wheel, I started
out with the interests of this paper
at heart; pleasure in the prospect of
collecting the material for this letter
and hope that 1 might have a certain
degree of success in the quite tangible
possibility of convincing those unfor
tunate persons who do not have the
weekly pleasure of attaching their
interest to Ii. VV. Rice's sennonettes
reading your editorial poems, keepin;.'
abreast of your Hired Man's travels,
or pursuing with an eye to business,
the latest Caldwell bargain ads, that
the Caldwell Tribune is the best papi r
to take.
The first place where my shol
struck was at Maple Grove farm,
owned by L. Morrow and sons. This
ranch, which consists of 120 acres, is
situated partly in the bottom and
partly on the bench. Mot of the land
is in hay, the sale of which realizes
the owners a neat little sum per an
num.
The pride of the Culver ranch,
which is just below this, it its thor
oughbred stock. Mr. Culver is a lover
of animals and is specializing in Per
cheron horses, and Jersey cattle. His
horses and cattle both how the marks
of good breeding and good feeding
two requirements which are absolute
ly necessary for the complete success
of a stock ranch.
C. A. Holt is a new subscriber to
The Tribune and owner of SO acres
of land so situated as to furnish an
ideal location for the dairy business
which he says is his choen work.
He has on his place an abundance of
natural pasture and a sufficient amount
of hay land to furnish a good sized
herd with a pltntiful supply of winter
feed. However, Mr. Holt is a thor
ough believer in balanced rations and
ion that purpose he will erect a silo
as soon as the size of his herd will
warrant such action. Mr. Holt has
only lived in Idaho since last spiring,
he having come here from Wisconsin.
When he came he brought three reg
istered Gurnsey heifers with him and
with this start he intends to build up
a herd whose products will crowd
somebody for a top-notcher in quality
and prices.
As I passed on toward Greenleaf 1
found the orchard fruit damaged to
quite an extent by the hail. Although
this part of the crop will be unsalable,
yet the owners need sustain but Iittk
loss for these hail bruised apples can
readily be evaporated or madé into
cider, which products will easily find
a ready sale.
J. O. Goodwin fell a victim to youi
special offer. He says give him some
thing good and 1 told him that was
what he was getting. Mr. Goodwin
owns a beautiful little ranch on the
hill above the George apple orchard,
one of the most sightly places I have
yet seen. On one side he overlooks
the bottom with Caldwell in the dis
tance, and on the other he looks across
the bench to the Greenleaf townsiu
Mr. Goodwin has a fine young orch
ard under headway and a fine patch
of grain and hay. l'or recreation In
milks two firstdass registered Jersej
heifers which he say make him nine
or ten pound of butter per week.
When the sun rolled his disc down
toward the western horizon 1 arrived
upon the brink of the father of decliv
ities which leads into the almost bol
tomless depths of monstrous irregn
larity commonly known as Pipe gulch
Not comprehending the true condition
and 1 immediately began to make my
way down. However, I soon per
ceived that my rate of descent was
becoming much too rapid for tht
comfort of an ordinary human being,
hence the decision to alight. This
act, which was accomplished in a very
unceremonious manner some ten or
fifteen feet below my wheel, brought
me into a complete and distinct view
of seven different varieties of stars
previous unknown in the astronomical
world.
Thus atnidst the dust of disaster,
closed my first excursion upon this
worthy cause.

ENDORSES JNO. M. HAINES
Idaho County Man Writes Glowing
Tribute to Candidate.
The following letter under date of
June 23 to the Salmon River Sun was
written by Chas. A. Parsons of
Grangeville:
"I am writing to you today on a
matter which is of much interest to
me, and I trust may have some com
mon element of mutual interest to
both of us It is in regard to the
candidacy of the Hon. John M. Haines
for the position of Governor of Idaho.
'I have known Mr. Haines for 27
years. Have watched the career in
which he has builded up both fortune
cessfully; have seen his abilities dem
onstrated in the administration of
public affairs, while mayor of Boise,
and repntation, as a business man. sue-'
cessfullv: have seen his ahilitioc
and can endorse his personal and
niihlir lif#» n« K^intr r»f tVi« ViirrV»*»ct
public life, as being of the highest
class of broad minded progressive
citizenship.
"In the matter of political interest,
most every one has closest at heart
the doing of things. What will be
done is the vital question we should
ask of ourselves when we are con
sidering who we shall support for
each office of trust and confidence.
We are obliged to repose in the man,
and naturally it becomes a question
of what benefit will be derived from
supporting this man or another, and
to'what cause can be accredited the
action we take in the discrimination
ol choosing the one as against the
other.
'Generally these questions are
threshed out in the minds of the
voters by discussion of the possible
good or bad qualities of the candi
majority opinion u. mu» n »uui w%.
.ire in touch with and whom we know
are posted in the concerns of such
public interests.
public interests.
"Mr. llaines is well known in that
part of the state in which his busi
ness and private life has been lived.
He has always stood high in the
esteem of those who are his nearest
neighbors, and his business associates
are among the men who are foremost
m the efforts to build up and perpet
uate the prosperiety and the elevation
of both the business and social ad
vantages of the country and state in
which we live.
"Never, through all the years of his
struggles has lie given up the high
aims of manhood's ambition. Never,
during the years of successful per
sonal business has he turned from the
duties of public life in a selfish de
iense of lus time or energies where
tie might use either in behalf of the
people among whom he has lived and
worked for the upraising of self and
people. There are no signs in him
of changing demeanor with the
growth of his influence or the in
crease of his bank account. He is
the same John M. Haines today that
he was aï a young man in early life
when I first became acquainted with
him, having changed only in the
sense of experience and age.
"These are valuable assets in the
conducting of business, either per
sonal or public. These are among the
items of importance which we must
consider when we select a man to fili
the highest position of honor and trust
in the great little state of Idaho. Some
men aspire to a position from a selfish
motive of self gratification. Others
are inspired with a feeling of confi
dence that they are high enough in
the branches of knowledge concern
ing the position to inake effecive the
performance of those duties which
are essential contingent to the posi
tion. Others still, depend on power
of politicians to support with their
combined strength, the man, who in
return can give them an equivalent
at turn, at a time when it becomes
necessary for him to do so.
date, in convention endorsements and
by the personal confidences which are
shown to be in the balance of the
niajority opinion of those whom we
"John M. Haines offers the voters
jf Idaho and to every man and woman
Jt" reasonable mind, a real issue to
decide. One that is within the reach
and grasp of all. One that so closelj
touches the home interests of all that
it cannot be overlooked and allowed
to pass unnoticed. Ile is making no
effort to form a vote catching trap.
It is no emotional issue of social re
lorms, or party strength, or the
promise of good to one faction or the
other. It is a desire to bring about a
condition of good, normal, healthy
and reasonable situations in the public
business affairs, just as the truly suc
cessful man tries to have endure
through all his private and business
life. Mr. Haines has for his aim the
conducting of the state's affairs on
the broad business plans which gov
erns the affairs of individual business.
He believes that if the affairs of a
man, a corporation or other forms of
civilized governing of expenditures
i'an be successfully conducted, so, also,
can the interests of the people be
guarded and protected. Mr. Haines
is not a man who deals in theories
of what we ought to do, but he is a
man who has demonstrated by his
own efforts what can be done and
has been done by him in his own
business career. Mr. Haines has
none of the spirit of the plutocrat or
of the demagogue who would use the
power given him by the people to rule
them with their own authority. Rather
lie is of the class of men who, realiz
ing' the trust imposed in him, would
make the effort of a conscientious and
ippreviative man to serve them ;n the
most efficient manner it were possible
lor him to do. Yet he would do thi*
in a manner which would mean for
the good of the greatest number whose
interests were involved, and within the
rights of the position, regardless of
whom or what may be the sacrifice
to duty and the people so long as it
was a reasonably evident fact that it
was a good business course to pursue
lor their benefit.
We trust our physician» our lawyer,
our hanker, and our merchant. Is it
less to our crédit to have the business
of our country conducted in the same
careful manner, or that we choose for
governor a man who is capable of con
ducting it, and who is making that the
issue upon which he stands before
you?
"In concluding this letter, I wish to
say that it is not written by sugges
tion of either Mr. Haines nor any
agency of a political nature. It comes
from me as an individual tribute to the
man as I know him. Having both
social and business relations with him
and his associates in the business

FOR DEMPSTER THE FARMER
The Recorder has every reason to
be pleased with the reception given
to its friend, Charles W. Dempster,
in his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor.
Dempster, while he does other things
for the time, is a farmer, and the
farmer's point of view on public econ
omy and public service is always his.
It's a mighty safe view, when you
think of the va^t farm interests in the
state of Idaho. Mr. Dempster has a
pardner on the ranch—his mother!
The more or less popular conception
of public officials is a String of fellows
without valid home ties, streaking
"roni one immorality to the other in

reaping most of the harvest of state
ofiices. It has come to be so monot
onous, so untrustworthy, that one of
the most powerful organizations in
Idaho last year went on record as op

Recorder is not populistic enough to
accept this belief; still a real farmer
in this one state office would be a
real state asset.—Richfield Recorder.
M. Nichter has disposed of his busi
ness here and Wednesday left for
Weiser, Idaho. Dr. Nichter was entr
prising and well equipped for the
practice of his profession, that of a
veterinary surgeon, and it is regretted
that he did not see his way clear to
remain in Meridian.—Meridian Times.
Mrs . Harris, proprietor of the
Vogue millinery store, was in town
Saturday, and was a guest at the Geo.
Newman home. Shè will leave this
week for the east to purchase her win
ter stock of goods.—Emmett Index.
FIRST NEW CROP
BARLEY DEAL $1.35
The first barley deal on the new
crop of 1912 occured yesterday, when,
through the best bid submitted, the
Vollmer-Clearwater company bought
500 sacks from A. R. Johnson, whose
farm is on the Lapwai road east of
Levviston. The price paid for Lapwai
delivery is $1.35. Mr. Johnson has
asked for sealed bids and three were
offered. The other bidders were Mr.
Cluster, for the Albers Bros. Milling
Co., and Mr. Neil for M. H. Hoiisor.
The Cluster bid was $1.31 and that of
Neil, $1.26. It is believed the barley
will grade brewing allthough it w;Ts
bought as feed grade. .It is believed
the price paid was not a criterion of
general opening prices in the Lewiston
market, but instead that the figure
would drop materially lower in the
next few days. Last year at this
time barley was bought for $1 with
some contracts having been made as
low as 90 cents. Before the season
was closed the price had moved up to
NORTHWEST LIVESTOCK
SHOW AT LEWISTON
By unanimous action of the stock
men of the Inland Empire, Lewiston
has been made the permenent seat of
the annual show of the Northwest
Livestock Association. Steps are
now being taken by the city council
of Lewiston for a bond issue to cover
the cost of 40 acres in the eastern por
tion of the city, which will be equipped
with buildings for the permanent hous
ing the big show. All accounts in
dicate that the 1912 show will be the
greatest ever held west of the Rocky
Mountains.
EUGENIC DISCIPLES WED
Providence Couple Get Health Vouch
ers Before Marriage.
The first eugenic marriage in this
state, with health certificates accomp
anying the regular license to wed, took
place in Providence recently, when
Miss Anna B. Bowen, prominent in
society circles of this city, wedded
Gilbert Cutler, of Boston.
The health marriage is the result
of the convictions of the couple that
one of the first things to be considered
by persons about to marry is the mat
ter of health. Both of them visited
the office of Dr. W. H. Peters yester
day and soon afterwards received
their certificates. Both bride and the
sroom are enthusiastic disciples of
the philosophy of eugenics, which re
cently gained much publicity through
the discussion started by Dean Sum
ner, of Chicago.
The ceremony took place at the
home of the bride's mother, in Hope
street. The father of the bridegroom
officiated.
