OUTLOOK FOR SPRING
EXCEEDINGLY BRIGHT
Large Number of Inquiries Indicate
Heavy immigration to Payette Val
ley in Springfield Estate Men Re-
ceive Large Number of Inquiries.

That the year 1910 is fraught with
much good for Payette Valley is evil
denced by the large number of inqui-
ries being received by the Real Es-
tate men in Payette. Since the pub
lication of the new pamphlet which
has been generally mailed by the real
estate men and the distribution of a
large number of them at Chicago and
Council Bluffs by A. E. Wood and
Capt. J. H. Shawhan during the Ma
tional horticultural congress and the
irrigation display complete evidence
is given that the money expended by
the people interested through the
agency of the Commercial Club has
not teen spent in vain. The work
done by Capt Shawhan and A. E.
Wood at Chicago and Council Bluffs
cannot be overestimated These gen |
-lemen devoted considerable time to
ioing a little personal work while at
.hese two cities and the number of
inquiries being received would indi-
,ate that their time was well expend-
ID and that their work advertising
his section of Payette Valley had
,een thorough in the extreme The
year 1910 will probably witness the
reatest number of newcomers to
his section of the Payette Valley for
many years past and with other
onditions as bright as they are at
resent it will be a prosperous and
appy year for Payette and this end .

CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES.

Remember the annual meeting to
be held January Sd at the time OF
the morning service. There will be
no sermon that morning, the time
being given to the election of officers
and the consideration of plans for
the new years work of the church.
The Bible school will be held as usu-
al.
The Christmas services this year
will consist of an old-fashioned Christ
mas tree and program for the pleas
ure of the children. 1t will be Fri
day evening, and all are invited to be
present,
Emphasis has been laid again and
again from the pulpit upon the vir-
tue Of remembering people at this
season who will likely otherwise be
forgotten, and 1t is hoped that this
will be borne in mind In sending pres.
ents to the tree for distribution. Try
to make somebody glad who would
probably not be if 1t were not for you.
This is Christmas.
The minister will go to Nampa on
January fourth to assist in a series
of meetings to be held there and will
be gone over Sunday. The elders of
the congregation will conduct the SER
vice on that Sunday.
Arrangements are being made by
disciples living in Ontario for the
to do some preaching in that
town.
Thru the kindness of Mr.. Wendell |
of below town, who drove his auto to
Fruitland for that purpose, a quartet
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hutton,
Miss Maxfield and Mr. Shontz sang
for the service at that place Tuesday
night, much to the pleasure of the
people present.
Miss Gordon, sister to Mrs. T. ].

For Lecturer A. I. McClanahan re-

the votes cast, so was made the unan.
imous choice of the grange for that
office. and we pride ourselves in be-
lieving that we have secured the
right brother for that office.
For Treasurer, the routine OF vo-

with the law, for the present incum-
bent, H. Carstens, succeeds himself
with scarcely a rifle.

It was an important and busy ses
sion of the city council held last Mon
day evening. Mayor Coughanour
Clerk Luther and Councilmen Burns,
Woodward and Soule were present.
The sewer committee reported the
opening Of bids and recommended
that as the R. NJ. Bardson & Co., of
Butte, Montana, had the lowest and
best bid that the contract be award
ed to them. The council approved
the action CT the committee and the
clerk was instructed to notify the
company that they had secured the
contract. The City Attorney and
City Engineer were instructed to at
once draw up a contract covering the
construction work and calling for an
indemnity bond in the sum of $4,000
to be forwarded to the company for
their acceptance and signature.
The bonds have been advertised
for sale and just as soon as the bids
have been accepted. the bonds pass
ed on and the sale completed the
company will be ordered to work by
the city engineer and their represent I
ative has stated that he can inside .
of thirty days after being notified to
begin get on the ground and have .
dirt flying on the construction work.
Another important move by the
council was the passing to first read
ing of Ordinance No. 1856 by Rezac,
granting to Charles d. Lamsdon, of
Boise. a franchise for the piping Of
the streets, alleys and public ways
of Payette for the purpose of furnish
ing natural or artificial gas for light
ing purposes, heat and power. The
ordinance calls in its provision for
work to begin within eight months
and for the company to be furnishing
or natural gas or a mixture ,
of both within eighteen months from ,
the time work begins or forfeit their
franchise. ,
Mr.. Lamsdon is a gas man of ma
tional reputation. He has just lately i,
accepted a responsible position under 4
the government of Mexico to exploit 4,
and develop the gas resources of that
country and while he expects to go q
here he will at the same time have +
charge of the work in this field and
cave competent men to superintend +
he same. with the granting of fran u
,hise is willing to proceed with de- o
work and in case an in +,
sufficient supply Of natural gas is n
ound he will arrslge for the manu- T
acture of an amount of artificial gas
o make the supply adequate to sup T.
