From College to Apartment House.
From college to apartment house
may seem a far cry, but that is what
is taking place over on Albany. C,
M. Lamme of this city has purchased
the old college building and is con
verting it into an up-to-date apartment
house, the work of remodeling having
already begun. There will be eight
apartments besides several separate
rooms, all of which are to be ready
for opening early in January.

DELEGATION OF MEMBERS
WILL SEE ALEXANDER
Women Wiant Sons on Border Re
turned Home and Will Ask Aid.
A delegation of members of the
Women's Auxiliary of Company G
called on Governor Alexander this
week and pesented petitions asking
for the rccall of the Idaho regiment.
Letters were presented to the gover
nor showing that the boys were very
anxious to be returned home. The
enlisted men do not feel that the regi
ment from this state are getting a
square deal. They also state that offi
cers are misrepresenting the state of
affairs and the sentiment of the men.
Auxiliary Notes.
The Ladies of Company G Auxiliary
met Friday. November 17 at 3 p. m.
with Mrs. Goldsmith. There is much
yet to be done before the Thanks
giving dinner to be sent the boys on
the border is complete. Please come
and help.
The students of the C. of I. and the
Caldwell High school met with Mrs.
Goldsmith Thursday evening and ar
ranged to furnish the home made
candy for Company G.
The D. A. K. has volunteered to
supply all the nut bread. Mrs. Keller,
an aged aunt of Mrs. Louise Stone,
has planned to send a quart of orange
marmalade. This marmalade is made
from a tried and famous recipe and
the boys have reason to feel proud
of this gift as the giver is 81 years old.
We are still short on home made
bread, also jelly for the boys who are
in the hospital. Please don't forget
our needs.
One lady laughingly remarked her
fruit cake was a foot across and four
inches thick.

TOUCHING LITTLE DITTY

Taariff Question Settled Right in
Eight Lines of Poetry.
The following little poem has been
sent to The Tribune presumably for
publication. We have not the least
idea as to whom the author may be
but are inclined to suspect Mr.
"David" Reynolds.
It is a touching—also fetching—
little poem and we gladly publish it.
He read to her the latest news
And said he "didn't care if
She would just express her views
To him about the Tariff."
Her little hand in his she laid.
Then said with sweet inflection—
"I have no use, dear, for 'Free Trade'
What I need is 'Protection.' "
Greenlund Contest Closes.

URGES ORGANIZA
OF IfM
JUDGE KING STATES THAT
THE PRICE OF WATER IS
BETWEEN $78.00 AND
$80.00 PER ACRE—CAN
BE REDUCED.
Arrowrock Has Surplus Which Could
Be Used on Black Canyon or Hill
crest—Settlers Mu6t Organize Dis
trict at Once in Order to Take Ad
vantage of Reduction—Cost Will Be
Announced Soon Says Reclamation
Chief Counsel.
Judge Will R. King, chief counsel
of the Reclamation Service, visited
Thursday Caldwell and the Boise
project as stated in the last issue of
The Tribune. Judge King's visit was
for the purpose of urging settlers on
the Boise project to take immediate
steps toward the organization of an
irrigation district. Unless the settlers
on the project take such steps the cost
of the project will be announced at
once and the first payment will be
come due.
The first payment amounts to 5 per
cent of the cost of the project which
Judge Kings says is between $78.00
and $80.00 per acre. The first pay
ment then would be between $3.80 and
$4.00 per acre.
Advantages of District.
Judge King urged the settlers to
take immediate steps toward the or
ganization of ain irrigation district. If
the settlers will take such steps the
cost of water will not be made public
at once. He also stated that the or
ganization of an irrigation district
would bring some 20,000 acres of land
into the project, and made to bear
their proportion of the cost. Judge
Kiing estimates that by organizing an
irrigation district the cost of the
project will be reduced between $10.00
and $12.00 per acre.
There is a surplus quantity of water
in the Arrowrock reservoir sufficient
to irrigate between 40,000 and 50,000
acres of land. This water may be
used on the Black Canyon or Hillcrest
projects. The beneficial employment
of this water will also reduce the cost
of water per acre.
Government Not Responsible.
Judge King contended that the gov
ernment is not responsible for the
early estimates and promises of
Reclamation officials. The promises
of Garfield, Ballenger, Jones, former
secretaries of the interior, and Newell,
formerly director of the Reclamation
Service, are of no force and effect, ac
cording to Judge King. The promises
of the Judge however, may be taken
safely at par, because to him has been
delegated extraordinary authority in
the northwest.
Mr. G. M. Keim, president of the
Roise Water Users' association, pre
sided at the meeting. The attendance
was not large. Those who attended
were greatly interested and asked
many pertinent questions of Judge
King.
The settlers are still convinced that
the organization of an irrigation dis
trict is unwise at this time. The sen
timent, as as expressel by farmers who
attended the meeting, is that the
project is in good shape at the pres
ent time and that it is well to let
matters drift.
King Hopeful of Extensions.
Judge King spoke very hopeful of
extensions of the Boise project. He

Speedy and Easy Riding
There's little comfort in most low priced
cars. You can't use their speeds. They
jostle you—they ride roughly — they
don't hold the road.
It has long 42-inch, easy riding, shock ab
sorbing cantilever rear springs. In addition
the 75 B Overland is a longer car—104
inch wheelbase. And it has 4-inch tires.
Its smoothness and ease of riding at any
speed would do justice to a much larger
and heavier car.
Come in and let us demonstrate. That's
the best kind of proof.

seemed to feel that there are good
prospects of the Reclamation Service
doing something for the Black Can
yon. The surplus water in the Arrow
rock reservoir should be appropriated
to beneficial uses and the Black Can
yon has the best claim on that water,
morally and legally.
Judge King will visit other projects
before returning to Washington.

JANN BARELEYCORN GOOD-BY
You've been a haughty tyrant,
Oppressive, mean and strong,
You're ruled us with an iron hand
In every way that's wrong;
But we have fought and conquered
Our Gem State now is dry,
We'll get along without you
John Barleycorn good bye!
This unrelenting tyrant
Once reigned from sea to sea.
He had the land at his command
And yet we called it free;
But weary of his tyranny
We banged him in the eye.
There's nineteen states been rescued
And all will soon be dry.
So many homes you've ruined
So many victims slain,
So many broken hearted
Have followed in your train,
That now you have been banished
There's not a tearful eye,
What jtty to do without you
John Barleycorn good bye!
