Fruit Crop of Pay

er had had a better outlook and es-
pecially on Jonathans which were
showing up exceptionally line and
were simply growing like weeds.
w. j. Reimers, another grower
living north of Payette, was sure
there would be q shortage of lumber
at the yards after the growers be-
gan propping their trees to save
the limbs and feels that he never
had a better outlook than at the
present time and like all the rest
of the growers he would be quite
content if he had his trees thinned
OF what they cannot support and
bring to the proper maturity.
The veteran fruit grower, Capt. j.
Fl. Shawhan when interviewed re-
gariing the condition of apples in
his fine orchard stated that he had
never seen, since he had been
fruit grower in Payette Valley, the
trees make any better growth than
they had the past winter and spring.
"They are in the best condition |
have ever seen them and all varieties
of apples in my orchard are coming
out in fine shape Especially is this
true of my Jonathans which were
never in better condition and taken
as a whole | think the trees of all
varieties have twenty-five to fifty
per cent more apples than they can
bear and bring through to maturity"
B. F. Tussing, who owns one of
the finest orchards on the bench
is extremely enthusiastic over the
outlook this year. 1T is the best
the valley ever had" said Mr.. Tus
sing. "The trees are in the best
condition and the apples the largest
have ever seen them at this season
of the year. / am especially proud
of my Jonathan trees which are heav-
lily laden and like all other varieties
will require much thinning"
George Lattig, one of the prominent
growers living north of the city with
a forty acre orchard also gives his
opinion that the valley will ship more
fruit this year than ever before and
that the only difficulty to be experieno-
ed this year will be the securing OF
sufficient help to thin the fruit prop
erly If there is any difference in
any of his varieties Mr.. Lattig says
that his Jonathans head the list and (
are in the best condition he ever
saw them.
And thus it goes all down the .
line and not only in apples but with
pears, prunes and all other crops 1t
will truly be a year of great plenty .
and the valley will this year ship 1
more fruit than any other year in
its history.

The commencement exercises of
the class of 1910 of the Payette High
School and the Glass Play. "The Mer-
chant Of Venice Up to Date" proved
TO be all that the patrons of the
school had anticipated and the Elite
opera house was crowded to over
flowing on Friday night, the evening
OF the exercises. So many were
the disappointments at not being
able to secure seats for the play that
it was decided to repeat the play
on Monday evening of this week and
the Senior class again appeared and
entertained a large crowd OF the
Payette people interested in the
schools and the excellent work being
done.

Payette Valley will ship more car
loads of apples. prunes and pears
this year than ever before in her
history. This is the concensus of
opinion of all the leading growers
and there is not an orchardist in
this section of Payette Valley that
is not we'll content with the fruit
prospects along all lines this year.
All varieties of apples show an ex-
ceptionally fine stand and the prin-
cipal worry of most of the growers
this spring is where to secure suf-
ficient help to thin the trees and re-
lieye them of the surplus of fruit
which they will be unable TO bear
and bring to a good commercial
size.
D. d. Hambly of the firm of Ham
bly, & Peterson, after a careful in
vestigation of the present outlook
during which he visited several of
the largest orchards on the bench
are more Jonathan apples set today
and in more perfect condition than
ever before in the history of tho val
ley and | believe the heaviest stand,
as a whole, on all other varieties
that the valley has ever had"
C. H. Sargent, owner of a fifty
acre apple orchard on the bench in
speaking of the outolok for the crop
this year said Il have ordered box
material for fifty cars of apples and
my only concern is to get help to
thin my trees that the fruit they
bring to maturity may get the bene-
fit of the early growth. We have
more and better fruit this year than
ever before"
F. J. Colburn another orchardist
with one of the finest orchards on
the bench, in speaking of the apple
outlook said: Conditions were new
er better in this valley. l believe
| am making a conservative state
ment when l say we will have nine
ty per cent of a possible 100 per
cent crop. Thinning is not the way
would express what l will have to
do in my orchard. / will be forced
to simply wade in and slaughter all
even the Baldwins which
at first thought might bear lightly
will have to be radically thinned in
my orchard"
Z. T. Bowman, who owns a fine
orchard on the bench when asked 4
if he had any apples simply gasped
and waved his hands tragically in
the air at the same time PROFOUND !
ing this question, Tell me how
am going to get my orchard thinned,
will you?" He stated that he new J

CIRCUS DAY IN PAYETTE.

Tuesday, June 14th will be a red
letter day in Payette for the small
boy and for some larger ones as
well. Campbell Brothers big circus
will exhibit in Payette on that day.
The big show this year will be the
only one to visit southern Idaho and
will show only in Boise, Payette and
Baker City. It was largely through
the efforts Of General Manager Dunn
of the Payette Valley road that Pay
cite was selected as a show point.
For some months he has been in
correspondence with the management
OF the big circus and when they ad-
vised him that they would show in
but two or three towns in this sec
ton. he at once got busy on behalf
of Payette with the result that the
circus has announced the day of
their exhibitions in Payette as Tues
day. June 14th; both afternoon and
evening.

A BUSINESS CHANGE.

The first Of this week the Payette
Commission Co. was taken charge of
by I. B. Long and S, c. Tracy. Frank
Creighton, who has had charge of the
business for the past two years will
on the first of June with his family
leave for the hills to look after some
mining property in which he is inter
ested and largely for the benefit Of
his health. On his return he will, if
his health permits assist Messrs.
Long and Tracy in the conduct Of
the commission business. If not abb
the business will be conducted by
Messrs. Long and Tracy. Both Of
the gentlemen who win have charge
OF the business during Mr. Crighton's
absence are wide-a-wake, aggressive
young business men and will give to
the patrons Of that company the
best service they know how and it is
a foregone conclusion that the Pay
ette Commission company will under
the new management do its share
of the business in Payettee.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES.

Mothers Day Sunday morning was
a delightful service. The next is
Children's Day the first Sunday in
June.
Miss Ellen Hill, who made the
good confession a week ago was bap-
tised at the close of the Wednesday
night meeting this week.
On Tuesday of next week the min
lister will start on the round of the
churches in this part of the state in
the interest of the state convention
June 1920.
The evening sermons for a while
now are upon first principles. They
are studies in New Testament theol-
ogy.
An especial word of appreciation
is due the young men who have help
ed in putting in shape the church
grounds. The entire place is now
seeded, and it is only matter of
few weeks until there will be plenty
of lawn moving to keep the preacher
exercised.
The Bible school council last Mon
day night appointed Mrs. Ida Wells
and Miss Gordon as regular teachers
on the school staff.

Minister.

BANKS CHANGE TIME
OF CLOSING DOORS

After June 1st the Payette Nation
al and the First National Banks will
keep their doors open for the tran
saction of business until four o'clock
instead of closing at three o'clock as
is the custom at present. This move
ment is made to accommodate the farm
ers doing their business in Payette.
With all crops coming forward heayi-
ly both financial institutions realize
that the farmer and fruit grower is
going to have a busy season and that
many of them will not want to leave
their ranches and orchards TO get
into town by three o'clock but will
of a necessity be forced to stay with
their work just as long as they can
and then come to town at late
hour in the afternoon when a trip is
For this reason both
banks will after June first remain op-
en- until four O'Clock every afternoon
instead of closing at three.

CROSS sEcTIoNING FOR
IDAHO CENTRAL LINE

A large force of surveyors are
now in the field beween New Ply
mouth and Boise cross sectioning
the survey for the Idaho Central
commonly known as the Boise main
line, which joins the present main
line of the Oregon Short Line at
Payette. The cross sectioning Of
any surveyed line of railroad means
but one thing and that the immedi-
ate CONSTRUCTION of the line as after
the preliminary survey has been
made the added expense Of cross
sectioning is not taken up until con
struction work is contemplated. There
are three different surveys Of the
Idaho Central all terminating in
Payette and it will not be a surprise
to the citizens Of Payetee to see
construction work begin at this end
of the new line very shortly.
