of Interest Taken UP.
The meeting Of the PayeCte Com
mercial Club last Monday evening
yS7 one of the most enthusiastic eY-
ei neld by the club. While the at
tendance was not large and there
were many absent who it was ielt
should have been there, yet those
present were enthusiastic in their
general opinion of the conditions eX-
isting this spring in this valley.
After the usual order OF business,
reading of bills, and reports OF Off
GERS, which developed the fact that
the club was in the best financial
shape it has ever been in, the club
shape it has ever been in. Several
special matters were considered.
The first matter presented was
that of the Payette Driving Club
and Fair Association which had a
committee consisting of c. E. Dibble
and F. NJ. Satoris before the club
to ask for the assistance Of that
body in organizing a fair association
for the purpose Of annually holding a
fair in Payette. The Driving Club
now owns twenty acres Of fine land,
well equipped with a track and stalls
for horses The plan advanced was
for the sale of stock at SIS per
share to the extent of raising suf-
ficient money TO provide suitable
buildings for horticultural, poultry
and art exhibits and TO start OF
this fall with a fine local fair.
The plan met with the heartiest ap
.proval of the club and by unani-
+hous resolution approving the step
the club authorized the President to
appoint a committee of three TO
work with the driving club in sell
ing the stock and arranging for the
fair next fall. 1t was the opinion Of
the club that the plan would meet i
with the approval Of all interested in
Payette and that sufficient money +
could be raised in time by selling the
stock to make the initial start Of
the fair this fall at some date TO be
decided later.
The next matter of interest discuss
ed by the club was brought forward :
by President Hambly regarding the
turning of water into the Fayette ,
Heights ditch, which event viii &C. =
cur in about six weeks. In a short f.
talk the President called attention to
the fact that he was certain the a
people of Payette had not as yet =,
fully realized the direct benefits that -
would accrue to this vicinity from =
the building of that ditch. He thought =
it a fitting occasion for a monster f.
demonstration by this city and his e
plan met with the heartiest approval y
of the club and he was by motion n
and vote authorized to appoint a com
mittee of three TO prepare for this
celebration and arrange a date for
the same. d
In this connection President Ham D
bly, also brought forth a plan which d
met with the heartiest approval OF o
the club. His idea was for the club p
10 take hold of a proposition to from D
yea to year plan a line of shade b
Il < along the east or upper side Of W
-biys5itch which in time would grow n
large enough to make the exact out it
l5ne followed by the dicth and show Al
q travellers from the trains passing w
through the valley that all of that 81
inner land was under cultivation. In D
connection with this the president al II
20 desired the club OF take action on III
planning to secure a driveway along tz
he upper side of the ditch stating
hat in his opinion it could BY the D.
planting Of trees and very little 9th al
II work be made one of the most al
beautiful driveways in Idaho. This Il
,lan also met with the heartiest ap- in
,roval of the club and while II was
he general opinion that at this time IA
t was too late to plant trees this c,
pring. the chair was ordered to aD- re
,oint a committee to have perma- ~,
Ient charge of and arrange for an m
of that sort.
After discussing other matters of
ital importance TO the community

ournment was taken at late hour ~
