bration ever pulled off in the city.
The finance committee is raising
funds and meeting with fine sue
cess and while the program has not
as yet been outlined enough is now
known TO say that the day will be
replete with all sorts of amusements.
The first of this week George
Gore representing the Greater Miller
Amusement Company was in Pay
ette and while here signed a con-
tract with the executive committee
to exhibit his attraction in Payette
from July 4th to July Sth. This is
one of the largest street carnivals
travelling on the road and has many
thrilling attractions that are on the
free list. A balloon ascension each
day, a dive from ninety foot tow
er into three feet of water, a high
wire act and a balloon race are
some of the free attractions they
provide.
Further announcement will be
made next week and the program in
detail will be ready for publication.
The merchants of Payette are CIV
ing literally and every effort will
be put forth this year to give TO
those attending the celebration in

SEVENTY-F|VE TO ONE
HUNDRED PER CENT
Good Authorities Claim that Pay
cite Valley Leads All Fruit Sec
tions With Fruit Crop Outlook
This Year.

According to the statements made
by several good fruit authorities who
have been in every fruit section in
the northwest this spring the Pay
ette Valley leads them all in pros
poets for a fruit crop. Seyenty-five
to one hundred per cent Of crop
are the prospects In the Payette Val
ley as against a forty per cent
crop in Hood River. Oregon. and
thirty per cent crop in the famous
Wenatchee valley. Grand junction.
Colorado now has prospects for
about a fifty per cent crop and some
reports for that section are evene
lower than this.
These are an average OF the figures
given out by box AMI lithcgraph men
who have been in Payette and visit
ed the valley the past ten days and
who have also been in all other fruit
sections and made thorough investi-
cation. A number of them are great
ly surprised when they come TO thor
oughly investigate the actual crop con
ditions here as they are much better
than reports have lead them TO be-
lieve.

THE S. S. CONVENTION AND ITS
BENEFIT TO THE LOCAL SCHOOL
June 13-14-t5.

The Bible school is a business pro
position: S5 per cent of the con
verts, to the gospel of Christ, come
from the Bible school, we readily
see then that it is a paying business
this business for the King.
The up to date business man would
not think of doing business, as he
did forty years ago, but he adoAts
modern methods, even of advertising
and this is the purpose of this Sun
day School Convention, to meet to-
gether and discuss modern methods
and plans by which our schools may
do more effective work. There is
a benefit derived from interchange OF
ideas, in encouragement of what 9th.
ers are doing and an inspiration from
the personal contact Each school
has its problems and we meet to-
gether to be mutually helpful. You
who doubt that a S. S. Convention is
helpful, just come this time, with
open hearts and minds and put in
TO 1t just all the enthusiasm possi-
BILE and Sc elf the results are not
gratifying and if you will not be
able to carry to your respective
schools, something of help and in
spiration.

LAST FRONTIER
MEETS DEFEAT
In One of the clsssiest Games of
Ball Ever Witnessed the Psyette
Team by Score OF to ! De-
feated the Vale Team at Vale
Last Sunday.

Close to two hundred fans took
advantage of the special train run
to Vale on last Sunday and went
over to see the Payette team meet
the Last Frontier" team in the
third game of the tri-state league
series. The day was an ideal base
ball day and as the teams were
know to be evenly matched the
fans settled back in the grandstand
on their arrival at the grounds in
Vale prepared to witness a classy
exhibition and they were not disap-
pointed as the game throughout was
one of the classiest exhibitions eY-
er seen in this section. There was
nothing doing the first six innings
and the game was anybody's game
with both pitchers doing fine wo!k
and receiving fine support.
In the last half of the seventh,
Ford, the first man up for Vale
walked, going to second on an er-
ror by Culver and reached third on
a passed ball by Darnall and scoring
on O'Conner's safe hit. O'Conner
was caught mapping at first by Gull
yer and was tagged. Rose followed
with a safe one, and stole second,
but a fly to R. Darnall with Bobbie
Burns covering the second bag COM
pleted a neat double, retiring the
side. Score, Vale /, Payette 0.
Payette started in the first half
of the eighth to redeem herself and
with two singles, a two base hit
and an error by Neeley secured two
runs, enough TO win the game.
Every minute of the game was
tense for he fans on both sides. 1t
was a battle royal between the pitch
ers with each of them receiving ex-
cellcnt support. Schmitz, the Vale
umpire was a little weak on rules
azd in the Judgment of many was
a little hard on Culver on strikes
and balls.
The Payette team showed up
fine and the new lineup undoubtedly
makes them a much stronger team.
Several of the old players have
been discarded and with w. J. Clark
financial manager, Glenn Darnall,
player manager and Ben Culver,
captain all feel that the team will /
make close race for the pennant.
