FEBRUARY TRADE LETTER
OF COMMERCIAL BANK
Spring weather has reached us and
plowing is now the order of the day.
With the dry fall and winter weather
the ground was in bad condition, but
during the past two weeks there has
been considerable rainfall so that
most of the heavier soils are too wet
for immediate plowing.
Grain—Prices in grain have shown
a considerable advance since our last
letter, although a decline in price was
reported. The Caldwell Milling &
Elevator company reports paying $2.20
per cwt. for wheat and $1.60 for oats
and barley.
Clover Seed—The price of seed has
declined and 12c per pound seems to
be the best price now being paid by
dealers.
Cattle,—I'rices on fat cattle are
still inclined to be weak. Some local
sales have been recently on range
cattle at good prices. The Caldwell
Cattle company report several sales
of dairy cows.
Hogs—The past week was very dull
in hog shipments. Today, however,
some shipments are being made. Deal
ers report paying $5.65 cwt.
Horses—The February horse sales
at the Union Stock Yards were well
attended and sales were large with
good prices paid. The Caldwell
Horse & Mule company who now
operate these yards under lease, are
devoting much time and expense to
the securing of horses for these mon
thly sales and at this time they have
sufficient horses in the yards to make
the March sale a record-breaker.
There are already several outside buy
ers here from distant points and
many more are expected. The Eu
ropean war has made an active de
mand for horses and during the past
month thirty carloads have been ship
ped from this point.
Poultry.—Dealers report paying 9c
a pound live weight for hens. 8c for
ducks and geese and 13c for turkeys.
The receipts in poultry are up to
the average but the demand is greater
than the supply.
Eggs.—The supply of eggs is in
creasing with a brisk demand. The
cash price paid is now 20c per dozen.
Cream.—Butter is quoted at 27c
per lb. by local creameries. The Haz
elwood Creamery company reports a
steady increase in cream receipts, and
the past month has shown an increase
of 75 per cent over a year ago. The
Caldwell Co-operative Creamery, al
though in business only four months,
report their butter output for the
first month 4,000 lbs., second month
12000 lbs., and,last month 23,000 lbs.
This company has recently aided

Business Conditions—Our local

the local railway offices state that

have shown a marked increase in cash
settlements.
We are very pleased to report a
very substantial gain in new accounts
and deposits, with collections satis
factory. We do not hesitate to say
that conditions in this community in
every way are much better than for
several years previous at this time
and prospects at this time, with wea
ther conditions as they are, the pro
blem of water for lands is settled as
it is, and with the better condition of
our farmers, the sheep industry
the most promising for years, we be
lieve that this section is entering on
a very prosperous year.
MADE U. S. CITIZEN AT 73.
Undoubtedly the oldst man ever na
turalized by a court in Idaho, Samuel
Brow of Notus, was made a full-fledg
ed citizen of the United States by or
der of Judge Bryan Friday morning.
He is 73 and a native of Scotland. He
came to America in 1848.
Naturalization papers were also
given to Louis V. Weiss of Caldwell,
a native of Ontario, Canada. These
two are the only men who will be
made citizens by the court at this
session.
The Cahrity Association wants
somebody to give them a pretty fair
old sewing machine that will do good
work, and if it cannot be a gift out
right, they will pay a little for it. A
hard working woman does her sew
ing for four or five children by hand,
and this big lift will be appreciated.

The first week period of the sec
ond semester is closing. The report
cards will go home promptly.
The next general meeting of the
Parent-Teachers' Aassociation will be
March 23, instead of March 16, as has
formerly been announced through
these columns. The committee is at
work on the program and parents are
urged to plan and be present. Fur
ther announcements will be made this
week.
The girl's basket ball team met its
firsct defeat at Weiser last Friday
night, the resulting score being 5
to 12, in favor of Weiser. In general
field playing the two teams were
well matched, each team scoring two
field goals. The Weiser girls, how
ever, on this occasion outplayed the
Caldwell girls in the matter of free
throws from the foul line. Ordinar
ily the Caldwell forwards have made
a fair record in this phase of the game
but Friday night seems to have been
a "hoodoo."
The Caldwell boy's basket ball team
met its Waterloo at Mountain Home
last Friday night. The game settled
the championship for southwest Ida
ho. The resulting score was 12 to 29,
in favor of Mountain Home. The lo
cal team has played splendid basket
ball this season and they realize that
they met a fast team at Mountain
I Ionic. They accepted their defeat
with a splendid spirit and are turn
ing their attention to spring athle
tics. '
The Parent-Teachers' Circle of the
„iticoln Ward were given a splendid
program by the pupils of that build
ng last Thursday, after which the
parents and teachers enjoyed a splen
did social hour together. The efforts
of the teachers and pupils who pre
pared this program were splendidly
rewarded by a large attendance. Every
teacher and about fifty parents were
present.
The committee of the Board of Edu
ation on building and grounds is pre
paring to replace the dead trees on
the various grounds.
It is their plan to improve the
school grounds as rapidly as their
nancial limitations will permit.
A much needed improvement is the
Washington building—an inside toilet
system—has recently been completed.
The building committee has been au
thorized to sell the outside buildings.
Plans are being formulated by the
grade teachers for a program to be
given in the spring, the funds from
which entertainment will be used to
develop some phase of school work.
At last a High School band begins
to promise to be a reality. Thus far
the Caldwell schools have not meas
ured up to their opportunity in this
direction. The matter of financing
such a movement has been the dif- j
ficulty. A number of the boys, how-1
ever, at present are enthusiastic about •
the possibility of a band and ways •
und means are being devised to meet
the expenses incident to such an or
ganization for the remainder of the
year. The boys will have the finan
cial part of the proposition in charge
and believe they can "make it go."
The State League Debate series be
gins next week. Schedule for the
season is as follows:
Friday, March 12th:
New Plymouth affirmative at Payette
Payette affirmative at Caldwell
Caldwell affirmative at Nampa
Nampa affirmative at Emmett
Emmett affirmative at New Plymouth
Friday, March 19th:
Caldwell negative at Emmett
Xampa negative at New Plymouth
Emmett negative at Payette
New Plymouth negative at Caldwell
Payette negative at Nampa.
The Caldwell boys are preparing to
defend their honors against the visi
tors from Payette on Friday night of I
next week. The debate will be held I
in the gymnasium. Plan to attend.
Every grade teacher has enrolled
with the A. N. Palmer Co., for their
correspondence course in penmanship
Generally speaking, penmanship and
spelling work of the public schools
receive criticism at the hands of the
public generally. It must be frankly
admitted that some of this criticism
is warranted but it is a part of the
plan of the local schools to raise the
standards in both penmanship and
spelling to the highest possible plane
under the given conditions.
