PAYETTE UNHEALTHY
FOR PLAIN DRUNKs


Marshal Skaggs picked up a couple
OF plain drunks on Tuesday Of this
week and had them before Judge
Riebeling on short notice. When con.
fronted with the charge c. W. Wi sen
denied the allegation most emphaii-
cally He might have had few
drinks but young as he was he could
drink enough to swim In and still
walk straight, at least that was his
statement and he had not been
swimming. so he wasn't drunk. W.
John Hartford, a short fat round fac
ed fellow with a huge shcck of au-
rora borealis hair when charged with
being drunk admitted the fact with
foolish grin and said he knew 1t.
Both men refused to pay fine and
as there is no Jail in the city It
meant either turning them loose
with the advice TO leave the city or
sending them to Caldwell at an addi-
tionai expense to the county. They
were therefore escorted to the city
limits and ordered to hike" and
not show up again. They both claim.
ed they had been woking across the
river and had stopped at the saloon
on the Oregon side and had few
drinks.

TWO COMETS NOW BLAZING
IN BLUE VAULT OF HEAVEN
Both Visible With Naked Eye, One
in Morning, Other In the Evening.


II you want TO see comet within
the next few days you have two OPP
portunities. In the early evening
just after dark at a point just north
OF sunset you can find one which will
remain visible for perhaps a week
longer. AT present It is a very con-
spicuous object having very bright
head and a tail about seven degrees
long. This comet was discovered
September 28 by NJ. Belawskey.
The other that you can observe by
getting up about five a. m-, discover
ed by DR.. Brookd last July, is accord
ing to the astronomers brighter now
than was Haley's comet at its bright.
est and as 1t is still travelling TO.
ward the sun, IL should increase in
brightness during the next ten days.
For the remainder of the month it
will be a very bright and conspicuous
object in the morning sky. northeast
of Venus, the morning star. The best
time to see it Is little before five
O'Clock.
These two comets are seen for the
first time as far as is known by as
tronomers and in addition to them
there are at least four other comets
in the neighbcrhood of the sun but
lhey can be obser, Ell only by the aid
OF powerful telescopes. One OF tGeze.
Encke's comet, returns to the sun
at regular intervals of about three
and one half years and has been
at more returns than any
other comet Another is making its
second visit to the sun. The re-
naming two are like the two bright
ones that can be observed with the
naked eye, and this is the first time
they have been observed.

COAL SUPPLY
RUNNING CLOSE
Most Dealers Have Cleaned Up
Storage Coal and at Present un-
able to Get Lump Coal-Msy Got
Plenty Later On.

The coal supply in Payette IL run
ming close especially the lump coal.
Most all the dealers have cleaned up
on their supply of storage lump and
some of them have nothing but nut
coal left. Denney & Co., haso a
fair supply OF lump coal on hand
which they placed in storage this
summer. Other dealers have cleaned
up and at present seem unable to
get anything but mine run or nut coal
Several reasons are advanced for this
One is that several OF the m.nes have
been engaged for some weeks In re-
pair work which prevented the min
ing and shipping of lump coal An
other reason advanced is that the
strike called by the shopmen on
the Hartman lines is affecting the
rolling stock OF the railroads and
that the companies are unable TO
keep their cars in condition TO haul
coal and that a car shortage is re-
sponsible for the shortage in lump
coal. Last year at this time the sit
uation was about the same and the
fall clean up at the mines for a time
the shipping of lump coal
but at no time in the winter was
there a dealer who could not furn-
ish his customers with lump coal.
The situation may be the same this
year and yet the strike may be af-
fecting the rolling stock OF the rail
road companies and there may be a
shortage cf coal. However there is
40 real cause for alarm and most OF |
he dealers feel that later they will |
secure all the coal necessary to run 1
oayette the same as they did last
Tear.
