learned of the accident The reports
obtaiaable are TO the effect that the
young people had been over on the
Idaho side enjoying Joy ride all
evening and were returning home
when the accident occurred. The
claim is made by the occupants OF
the car who were uninjured thas they
were going at very moderate rate
of speed, but as the road is very
wide at this point and as the wreck
of the auto when recovered this
morning showed it had been running

BOY DROWNED IN wEIsER RIVER

Tuesday of this week a young mar
by the name Of Harry Metcalf. OF
Vancouver, D. c., a recent arrival in
the city of Weiser, was drowned in
the Weiser river while i'm bathing
with two companions. The young
man had several times after hid ar.
rival in Weiser expressed a desire to
go in swimming but was advised by
young men with whom he had be-
come acquainted not to do so as
he admitted he was poor swimmer.
Tuesday morning however in com
pany with couple of young compan-
ions he went to the river to swim
and the boys started their sport
near the railroad bridge where the
river is quite deep and the current
very swift The unfortunate young
man was advised by his friends who
were with him not to venture too
Far from the bank. Becoming ven.
turesome he however got into swift

'banions realized there was any trou-
bile they heard his agonizing screams
tfor help. Both went to his assistance
cbut the young fellow grasped both

Editor Payette Enterprise:
I AS this is my first attempt in life
to write anything for a paper for
publication, l trust you viii give this
blundering article space in your
valuable paper.
Now as / listened to the address OF
the Rev. d. C. Peters yesterday my
mind reverted back to the settlement
of our nice little city. But oh what
sad thoughts rushed to my mind to
think that, almost within our city
limits is to be seen a sacred spot
that is seldom visited by any Of our
citizens on that grand Memorial Day.
Now, the only reason can assign
for this, is the condition It is now in.
No road leading into it, no water TO
beautify it, hence no loving hand
can do anything for it although they
may visit it every year on Decoration
Day, as / have done for a number Of
years. Now ] have no relatives bur
led there, but a number of old friends
whose last resting places on earth
are marked by nice monuments and
as visited this sacred spot yester-
day thought it was a shame-yes
shame TO our flourishing community
that we would let this sacred place
remain in the condition that it now
is in, after my old friend has SO gen
erously donated the land Yes. my
old friend Upchurch donated the land
and Lex Johnson told me he would
donate the water free if we would
lay pipe from his ditch to the
grounds.
II would take about eighty rods of
four inch pipe 10 do this. then about
three days work with two men and
teams to level and put the ground
in shape to plant trees and such
other shrubbery as the friends might
wish to plant to make this a small
garden spot. One line of fence is
also needed and a few other small
improvements not necessarily costing
a great deal.
Now, friends and neighbore, MIR.
Upchurch has donated the land.
Lex Johnson win donate the water.
D. S. Lamme viii donate five dol
lars.
What will you donate?
Cannot a day be appointed in the
near future for a meeting and steps
be taken that will lead up to this
Improvement so that by next spring
all that are interested in this Cthe
washoe) cemetery can plant trees
and roses with a hope they win
get water to make them grow thus
this sacred spot Of ground
into garden that many viii wish to
visit in after years instead of bar
rem desert such as it now is

rHREE STRIKES AND OUT.

Now that the baseball season is
right at hand ana the fans are all
anxiously scanning the news reports
of the big league games the following
old rules when perused by them
read almost like Ben Franklin's al
manac or Joe Miller's joke book.
Here are a few of the old rules Gull
ed from an old rule book back in
the early part of 1882:
No manager, captain or player
shall address the audience.
The fee and expense of the umpire
shall be paid by the visiting club.
No player shall be allowed sub
stitute in running the bases.
When balls have been called
by the umpire the batsman can have
one base, providing he does so on
the ran.
The batsman shall be called out if
a foul bali be caught before 1t touch
es the ground but once.
The batsman. on taking his posi-
ton, must call for a high ball" a
."low ball" or a fair ball,
When strikes have been called
should the batter not strike at the
next good ball, the umpire win warn
him by calling good ball, should
he strike at and fail to hit the ball,
or strike and fail to hit the next
good ball, three strikes must be cal
led.
Here is a clause from an old, old
book on How to Play the Game"
The catcher's duty is to catch
all balls pitched TO the bat. He stands
either within six feet of the home
base or about 30 feet back Of it, ac-

LABOR PROPOSITION
GETTING TO BE SERIOUS

More help is needed in Payette
and vicinity and the shortage OF
laboring men is tying up great deal
of work that would otherwise move
ahead rapidly. On every hand you
hear farmers and fruit growers inquir
ing for help. The first cutting of
alfalfa is coming on and by the mid
die of next week the handling of the
first cutting will be in full blast. This
with the thinning of fruit, the build
ing of the Payette Heights ditch,
the railroad work on the extension
of the Payette Valley railroad from
New Plymouth to Emmett to say
nothing about considerable building
operations and the work on the sew
er system being installed in Payette,
is making four jobs for every labor
ing man there is in the valley. AS
it is every enterprise that is under
way is constantly on the outlook for
more men and if there is an idle
man in this vicinity it is because he
really doesn't want to work.

A POTATO RECORD
HARD TO BEAT

c. F. Thayer, a prominent ranch
man living near Payette is the first
to come to the fore this year with
potato record that in our estima'
tion, will be hard to beat. He had
hi first meal of new potatoes on
Wednesday of this week and on dig
ging them found that some had
grown to be eight inches in circum-
ference. This is a pretty good size
for new potatoes at this time of the
year.
