SCHOOL PLAY SUCCESS.

Every annual school play in Pay
ette has always been a success and
pleased the patrons of the schools
but the event this year was perhaps
just a little better than the efforts of
previous years. The production of
Belshazzar's Doom and of Valley
Farm was received by a large audi
ence with evident appreciation and
it would have been almost impossi-
Bile to have crowded another person
into the hall the night Of the play.
Everyone taking part in the play
acquitted themselves well but one or
two seemed particularly gifted along
this line and Tom DriscoH as Silas
Holcomb, owner of Valley Farm;
Ccrdia Giesler as Hettie Holcomb, a
country flower transplanted to city
soil; Helen Driscoll, as Lily Ann
Tucker, who borrows but never gos-
sips and Miss 10 Kenward as Verbe-
ma, a hired girl at the farm, were
certainly fine and showed considera-
bic ability,
Taken as a whole the two produc-
tions far excelled many attractions
for which the theatregoing public of
Payette have often times paid 81 to
Witness
There were so many disapponit-
ments on account Of not being able
to get seats that it was decided to
give the play again on Monday night
at which time it was reproduced to
a. large audience.

I Monday OF this week was a red
letter day for the hustling little town
Of Fruitland, Idaho, on the Payette
Valley railroad. 1t marked the open
ing OF the Fruitland State Bank a
new financial institution for the Pay
cite Valley capitalized at $4,000.

of Fruitland and vicinity have the
greatest confidence. The Cashier,
Mr.. ]. o. Scritchfield, is a newcomer
to this valley having come here last
summer from Oklahoma where he was
engaged in the banking business and

of high business ability in this line.
The new concern is housed in
its own building a handsome little
structure of stone and white pressed
brick trimmed in red brick, contain
ing a general business room, a direc-
tors room and a fire-proof vault.
Within this vault $500 pound Man

On this the opening day one hun
dred of hte growers on the bench

of the institution. With
out any particular effort being made
along this line by the management

lay and the indications are that the
new bank will do a fine business
from the very start.
The President C. H. Sargent and |
he Cashier J. o. scritchfield were
he hosts of the occasion and every
,aller that smoked was given a good
,igar while the ladies were given a
,ag of English walnuts. A fine note

N to every caller with neat adver-
isement of the bank printed on the
over.
The opening of this new bank
marks an epoch in the history of

full home that as chief executive of
this state, want you to know that the
good citizenship of the state is behind
you and that am ready and willing
at all times to put my shoulder to the

sociation, and to you people who have
contributed so Loyalty and generously
to the fund, that makes it possible
for us to be here today and to have
this splendid body of young men
around us that we see gathered here
on this occasion. 1t was difficult at
the time, probably, for you to spare
the amounts that you contributed.
You have paid your contributions;
you have erected the building; you
have furnished it splendidly, and you
have turned over the keys to the
generation. They now can
enjoy it's advantages.

| this little city that is located III the
center of some of the best orchard
land in the Payette Vallel and is sur
rounded on all sides by thrifty bear
ing orchards. young ones coming in
to bearing and acres of rich alfalfa
fields that need only the planting of
the trees to turn them into profita-
BILE commercial orchards.
Four years ago there was one house
at Fruitland and much of the land
was little better than raw land. To
day the town has bank, a drug
store, a meat market, a dry goods
store, a general store. lumber yard.
a grocery and hardware store. a con-
fectionery, cigar and tobacco store
combined with pool hall, a fine
eight room brick school house and
three religious denominations are rep
resented, the Brethren, Methodists
and Baptists.
In and around Fruitland land in the
past two years has made almost phe-
nominal advances and good alfalfa
land at present is selling at from
$500 to 5000 per acre, while many
instances are recorded of $1,000 per
acre being offered for some of the
bearing orchards in that vicinity and
being refused.
With the coming of the Idaho Cen
trail Railroad which places Fruitland
on the main line Of railroad there is
much to expect for this progressive
little city whose people are determin-
ed to build a modern little city. They
are fast learning to be boosters down
that way and are reaching out for ev-
erything that should be theirs.
Monday E. A. Stegner received his
supplies for the new postoffice and
while as yet the mail has not been
ordered sent there it is but a mat
ter of a few days until Fruitland
will be on the map for sure in this
respect and letter addressed to that
vicinity instead of bearing the ad
dress Route No. l aPyette will bear
simply, Fruitland, Idaho.
The new bank being owned wholly
by local people is evidence that it
win be run for the benefit of and in
the interests of that community and
being located where conditions OBJ
tain such as do at Fruitland there
can be no question as to the prosper
.ty thai awaits it.

MILITARY BALL
PLEASANT AFFAIR

The first annual military ball CIV
en- by the members of Company l.
on the evening of Washington's birth
day proved to be one of the most
brilliant and pleasant affairs of the
season and had the crowd attending
been much larger it would have been
impossible to accommodate them in
the Elite Opera house.
The hall had been tastefully deco
rated with the national colors while
on the stage stacked arms and
tent gave a military air indeed. Faul-
kenstein's orchestra furnished their
usual excellent dance music and the
floor was in excellent condition.
The members of Company !. de-
serve praise for the manner in which
they entertained their guests and the
ball will go down in the minds OF
those present as quite the most en-
joyabie event of the season and they
will look forward with considerable
anticipation for the next annual
event.

DEATH OF MRS. oRcUTT.

Mrs. Ellen Orcutt the aged mother
of H. B. orcutt passed away at the
home Of her son on Monday, Febru-
ary 21st, the cause of her death be
ing stomach trouble and old age The
funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon
from the home, Minister Peters OF
the Christian church having charge oi
the services. A large number OF the
friends of this estimable lady paying
the last tribute of respect to her.
She was born in county Clare, Ire
land, January 9Th, 1889, and was at
the time of her death II years of age
She came to America with her pa
rents when quite young and Nov. 10,
1854 at Lagre, Wabash county, Indi-
ana, she was united in marriage to
William Orcutt, who proceeded his
aged wife to that home beyond the
skies in February, 1908.
Their golden wedding was celebra-
ted at Bend, Oregon, in 1904 where
they lived up until the time of Mr..
Orcutt's death.
To Mr. and Mrs. Orcutt were born
seven children, six boys and one girl,
of which four boys are left to mourn
the death of their loved mother; w.
T. Orcutt, of Minneapolis; H. B. Or
cutt, of Payette; W. w. Orcutt, of
Bend, Oregon; and Frank Orcutt, now
of this city.
She and her husband were truly of
the frontier type having lived in Indi
ana before there was a railroad west
of Chicago and in Minneapolis before
the railroad found tbs way across the
west half of that state. They came
to Oregon in 1903 and located at
Bend.
Mrs. Orcutt was a wonderful won; L
in many ways always keeping up with
current events of the times by con
slant reading. She was kind con-
mother, a good neighbor and
was especially noted for many acts of
kindness to neighbors. She had an a
biding faith that her future life would
be taken care Of if she lived right on
earth and her whole life was a con-
slant effort that her future might be
bright and happy. The death of her
husband was a sad blow to her and
no doubt fastened her own end.
