PAYEa NATIONAL
INCREASES CAPITALIZATION
Growth of Business Such as to War;
rant Substantial Increase in Stock
of This Local Financial Concern
increase Approved at Washington
and Stock All Taken by Well
Known Local Men.

Thursday last the Payette Nation
al Bank received a telegram from
the officials at Washington, D. c.,
approving of their application to in
crease their capital stock from
$50 900 to S75 900 The increase in
the capitalization was made necessary
by the continued and almost phenom-
email growth of this concern which
from the day its doors first opened
for business seven years ago has had
a steady and substantial growth along
Tall lines.
The new stock issued to cover the
increase has already been taken by
some of the most substantial and
best known business men in this city
adding to the banks stockholders a
number of influential men of good
business standing.
The bank lately built a new vault
which is steel lined throughout and
equipped with an up-to-date electric
burglar alarm and is contemplating
some other changes in their build
ing to facilitate the work of the
concern. A door will be cut through
the south wall of the. present floor
occupied by the bank which will
then give to them frontage on two
good streets. The present entrance
on Boise street and the new door
to be provided will open on Main
street going to the postoffice.
The growth of any city's financial
concerns is always in accord with
the material progress of its people
and the fact that the Payette Ma
tional bank is growing almost by
leaps and bounds says more plainly
than words that Payette as a whole
is indeed prosperous city.

BIG DEAL IN OREGON.

The first of this week a firm OF
Minneapolis capitalists took an op-
tion on the land in Oregon across
the river from Payette known as
the Oregon Military Road Company
land. One hundred Thousand dol
lars were paid down on the option
and that amount would signify the
intention of the corporation to at
once proceed with the improvement
of their purchase. The settling up
of this large tract of land even
though across the Snake river means
a great deal to Payette and Southern
Idaho as with a large company sett-
ling up that tract with homeseekers
it will be necessary for a great pub
licity to Eastern Oregon and South
ern Idaho. Many people will of
course come to look over the propo-
sition offered and who will some
Of them at least come to Payette and
seeing Payette Valley the results are
certain. We will get our share.

The Payette Driving Club which
owns a fine site west of the city
on which they have a good half mile
track at a meeting last Saturday af-
ternoon decided to try and organize
a fair association. The club has from
time to time been holding matinee
racing meets with varied success but
the majority of the, stockholders be
lieve that could the usual matinee
racing program be combined with an
exhibit of the products of this sec
tion once a year every fall that
very successful fair could be held.
Consequently at their meeting last
Saturday a committee was appointed
to bring the matter before the COM
mercial club in the hopes that the
club would appoint a similar com
mittee to get out and see if suffic-
lent stock subscriptions could be
secured to warrant a reorganization
of the club into a fair association.
There is no section of this west
that could contribute to an agricul
tural display any better than this
end of Payette Valley. This com
bined with Some good racing would
be fine institution for Payette and
the general expressions seem to be
in favor of the fair association.
The association also decided to
hold a two days racing meet on July
4th and 5th and a committee was ap-
pointed to arrange for a nice pro-
gram for these two days. Liberal
purses will be hung up and the club
will try and entertain Payette peo-
pie on these two days in lieu of a
celebration as it is generally under
stood that PsyGtte will not celebrate
his year.

PLAN BIG ADvER-
Using CAMPAIGN
Payette Land G. Orchard Company
Plan for Great Publicity-Special
Representative Soon Leaves for
East to Take Up Work.

The Payette Land & Orchard COM
pany is planning for the greatest pub
licity campaign ever put forth by a
concern in this valley. Thousands OF
booklets and circulars descriptive OF
the fruit conditions in this valley
have been issued by this concern and
- be distributed by their special
representative, J. W. Roberts, who
will leave within the next week for
Omaha, Nebraska, where he will
open up an office to handle the east
ern end of the company's business.
The tract of 72O acres owned by
the company at present is all good
orchard land admirably located and
their literature is comprehensive in
every particular and deals in facts
only. Mr. Roberts while in the
cast will not -confine his work to
Omaha and Nebraska alone but will
simply make that city and state head
quarters and his work will take him
into the Dakotas, Iowa, Illinois, Min
nesota and Missouri where he will
advance the plan of operation of
this company to the working class
of people. Those who have heard
of Payette valley and the wonderful
yields of fruit here and the profit
made per acre will undoubtedly be
glad of an opportunity to secure a
five or ten acre tract on the month
ly payment plan and at terms that
will permit of their being able to
handle the proposition and some day
own an orchard and consequently an
independent living in this valleyI
The work of this company promises
much to this vicinity. The company
is composed of men who deal in
facts and in business like and fair
minded manner and those coming
into contact with them will appreci-
ate this. General L. V. Patch, a
prominent member of the company
who has a wide acquaintance in Ne
braska. will also make trip back
there in the near future for the pur-
pose of advancing the company's
proposition to the people of Nebraska

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB.
Willamette University GIee Club to
Visit Payette Monday, April 4th.-
An ENTERTAINMENT Worth Attending.

There is an agreeable surprise in
store for the music lovers of Pay
cite when the willamette University
Glee club presents its program at
the Y. NJ c. A. the night of April
4. Although this glee club does not
go over the same ground every year,
nevertheless when it does appear be-
fore a city's public after the absence
of year or so, it presents a pro-
gram original and strong in every
respect.
The Willamette University Glee
club is composed of eighteen mem
bers who during the last two years
under the efficient direction of Fred
erick S. Mendenhall, Dean of the
College of Music, have attained very
enyiable standards as a singing or
ganization.
But while the club offers the best
in the musical line, it would not
Z, put on a program without the
customary farce and comic stunts so
peculiar to Glee club entertainments.
In this line the w. U. Glee club
ais unexcelled, relying upon Mr.. Per
'ry Reigelman, a reader and dramatic
Interpreter of the College of Oratory,
who together with big Luke RAIDER
of the College of Liberal Arts make
a duo calculated to make even vine
gar laugh.
But by far the biggest number on
the program will be the Musical
COMEDY Sketch entitled, The Ra
jah of India" The principals in
this sketch are Messrs Beatty, Bloff,
Reigelman, Wann, and Schramm,
the balance of the club forming the
chorus. Everywhere the club has
appeared. "The Rajah of India" has
made the hit OF the evening and It
has been the consensus of opinion
that for a good leading stunt, no
club offers anything better, if as
good.
The program to. be presented is
a well-balanced and carefully select
ed one. and those who turn out to
hear the willamette boys sing and
pull off their stunts will make a
waste neither of their time nor of
their money.

A man who was afraid of thunder
crawled into hollow log as place
of safety during a thunder storm.
The thunder rolled and the rain
poured down in torrents, and the
old log began to swell up till the
poor fellow was wedged in so tight
that he could not get out All his
past sins began passing before him.
Suddenly he remembered he hadn't
paid his newspaper subscription, and
he felt so small that he was able to
back right out.

OPPOSES BOND ISSUE.
Payette. Idaho. March 2s.lslO.

Editor Payette Enterprise,
( Dear sir:-I 4 sire to call to
your attention, sa-s through you to
rocus the thought of the public upon,
the matter on the proposed voting of
bonds Tor the purpose of making ad-
dition to the West Side School, Build
ing. The vote upon this important
question viii be determined at the
Central School Building on Saturday.
April End, between 100 p. m. and
700 p. m. | would urge that THIS
BOND ISSUE BE DEFEATED, for
the following briefly stated reasons:-
"a Full public knowledge OF the
proposed vote has not been had. No
tices were posted in three public
.s-es One of these places was the
telephone pole near the Payette
National Bank. At this writing this
notice is illegible Official notice K
this important matter was not print
ed in the papers of the city
t2l The money ($12. 600 OOl if
voted by the people must be used for
the purposes stated in the notices
posted upon the telephone poles. That
this would be a very unwise use of
the money ] believe may be demon
strated. Further time should be
given ID the people in order that the
matter may be intelligently discussed
and understood This action would
aot defeat the final success of a bond
issue. A new vote may be had at
any time when two thirds of the
Board may decide to submit the
question to the people.
tS) No more money should be in
vested in the present school build
ings, at least no great amount of
money should be so invested. What
we need is entirely new, modern, ar
tistic structures. 1t is impossible to
so remodel the present buildings as
to make them what they should be
without the expenditure of more mon
ey than it would require to build
new buildings WHICH SHALL BE
RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.
(4) The new building should be
located in either the NORTHEAST
OR THE SOUTHEAST sections OF
the city. The West Side has ONE
school building. The Northeast and
the Southeast have NONE. These
sections have many children now
and development of the city must
eventually proceed in these directions
There are children who come from
the Northeast a distance of four
miles.
90 At present no money should
be utilized for additions" Let us
have NEW BUILDINGS if any. Let
them be fine, fit, and fair. Let
them be four room units or eight
room units, but let the sections which
have no school facilities be cared for,
and let the locations be determined
by the demands determined by the
expansion and growth of the city.
Very truly,
j. c. WOODWARD
