pAYETrE CANYON COUNTY IDAHO, THURSDAY OCTOBER
WELL KNOWN LADY
DIES SUDDENLY

Mrs. A. c. Hammond. wife of A. C..
Hammond died very suddenly in
Payette on last Sunday from heart
disease. Mrs. Hammond had been
TO the post office and was returning
home when she was seen to fall
when near the corner of Seventh
street and First Avenue North
Parties observing her ran to her
assistance and soon determined that
something serious was wrong. A
physician was called and she was
taken to the Woodward hospital but
passed away while enroute there in
an automobile. Mr. Hammond was
out of the city at the time of his
wife's death as he had been engag-
ed in assisting in gathering exhibits
for the Pittsburg land show and was
supposed to be on his way to Pitts
burg at the time but fortunately
was located in Boise. He returned
to Payette on the night train Sun
day and took his wife's remains
to Boise Tuesday afternoon on
the Pony. Mrs. Hammond was
well known in Payette as the fam
lily have lived here several years.
The blow falls on Mr.. Hammond all
the more keenly as just a few months
ago the only son passed away in
Boise

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Protracted meeting begins Sunday,
October 29.
Sunday Services: Bible School, 10
a. m. Preaching, II a. m. and 7:S0
D. m. Christian Endeavor, $50.
Three Bible study classes are be-
ing taught by the pastor. The class
in "The New Testament Church
meets Monday evenings at 1880. The
class in Training for Service" meets
Wednesday evenings at 1880. AND
the class in "The International Sun
day School Lessons" meets Sunday
mornings at 10 o'clock. Any one in
terested is invited to enter any or
all OF these classes. The growing in
terest in Bible study all over the
country is an evidence that the time
is rapidly coming when no one will
be considered cultured who does not
hove some definite knowledge of the
Bible.
Attendance at the Bible School Is
increasing. There were nearly sixty
more present last Sunday than two
weeks ago. The Bible School is the
teaching service of the church to
win souls to Christ and to train
them in Christian SER ice" 1t should
therefore receive the loyal support OF
every Christian.

DAM THE PAYETTE.

The Black Canyon irrigation districI
has filed in the local United States
land office an application for the
rigt to put a dam in the Payette riv-
er on land located in the southwest
quarter southwest quarter, section
fourteen, township seven north, range
two east. The dam is to be forty
eight feet high and will back water
more than three and half miles up
the stream. 1t is to be built in the
country above Horseshoe Bend. nine
teen miles east of Emmett.
1t is understood that this Horse
shoe Bend dam is to divert the wat
er which will be stored by the great
dams to be built for the purpose of
raising Payette lake to high water
mark and Little Payette as is feasi-,
BILE.
The filing of application to con-
struct the Payette river dam indicat-
es that the district is preparing TO
carry through its ambitious program
for the development of 9S 900 acres OF
rich land lying between the Payette
and Boise rivers. The storage divi-
sions of the project consists Of two
reservoirs, one in Payette lake and
the other in Little Payette lake.
The district originally asked the
land board for permission to raise
the water of Payette lake fifteen feet,
but objection was made by people
whose property is in the vicinity OF
the lake. Finally compromise was
made between the district and. these
persons, and as a result the land
board granted the district the right
to build a dam which would raise
the water Of the lakes eight feet,
which would reach a high water
mark, and thus the property in that
vicinity would not be damaged.
The project involves the eIpen-
diture of $1,000, 900, a greater portion
of which will be spent in the vicin-
ity OF Emmett.
We are informed that plans are al
most completed to finance the pro
ject. This will be addition to EN-
mett's prosperity list.

EXHIBIT
At COUNTY FAIR
Wins Large Number of First Priz-
es on Plates of Apples-With Ad-
ditonal Fruit Exhibit Goes to
Boise.

The people from Payette who visit
ed the county fair were quite well
pleased with the Payette exhibit. II
was as good an exhibit as could have
been looked for with the short time
given the committee TO gather and
prepare it. With more time in which
TO work Payette could have had an
exhibit that would have been the
equal of any at the fair. That the
grains and grasses were short is
due to the fact that they were all
gone before any attempt was made
TO gather an exhibit. The following
is a complete list of prizes as won
in the fruit line by the Payette ex-
nibit.
Apples.
First on Mcintosh Red, Bell Flower

The exhibit made by the Emmett
Commercial club showed care and
a great deal of work. For many
weeks they had been preparing for
the fair and they were entitled to
the prize won. Next year Payette
will gett busy earlier in the game
and can make a better showing. Nam
pa with a fine fruit exhibit and al
so many samples of grains, grasses
and vegetables walked off with the
second precinct prize.

Most of the peaches stored some
weeks ago in the plant of the Payette
Cold Storage company have been sold
Ths demand proved good and prices
We're good on the stored crop. The
plant is now rapidly filling up with
apples from the line of the Payette
Valley Railroad and the growers wag
ons. The pears and prunes have all
been moved and the festive apple
now takes the lead and is being
stored TO await better prices sure
to come as soon as the fall apples
in the east have been used.
The apples stored are not all the
property of local men as several buy
ers have stored apples in the plant
here and will wait for better prices
in the late winter and spring.
Page & Son of Portland with a
trade in the Philippine Islands pre-
fer to store in Payette rather than
move to the coast and store there.
The storage charges are the same
and as MIR. Page said, they save
the interest on the freight charges
and the storage facilities are bet
ter"
Another large fruit house at Okla
homa City, the T. d. Turner Com
pany, have stored a goodly portion
of their purchases in . Payette al
though they have, large storage ca
pacity at home, perhaps for the same
reason as the Portland people.
We understand that more of the
space in the Cold Storage house will
be prepared for storing under refrlg-
Grafton and further machinery added
If this is done an increase of the
Aeapital stock of the company will
ibe made and a portion offered to the
people of this community in order to
Increase the interest in our local
plant, which can not help but be
profitable with the vast increase in
orchards in the Payette Valley.

Portland, Oregon, October 3, 1911.
Mr.. r. Z. Haynes and Brothers Of
the Y. NJ. &. A. Board,
Gentlemen:-
When you meet again there will be
a vacant chair in the circle. Our Pres
ident has been called to his iinal
reward, and | wish to speak word
of tribute to his memory. Mr.. Brain
ard put his heart and soul into the
work of making the Young Mems
Christian Association in Payette a
success. His heart was burdened
with desire TO hedge the youth OF
his home city with an environment
that would guide their feet into
paths that lead TO noble and rich
eous manhood and wOmanhood, But
his efforts were not always appreci-
ated and often misunderstood. How
ever regardless Of mans judgment Of
him at adverse times he has left a
strong impress on Payette which will
grow with years. His heart was
sincere. His vision of life was
broad. Appreciation of his work
will enlarge with time. He will be
missed when men meet TO plan for
the moral and spiritual welfare Of
Payette. 1t was his energy, enthus-
iasm and money, thrown into the
movement when there was but lite
TO encourage a man, that made The
Irsam OF Y. Nj. e. A. reality ior
Payette. Such actions will stand
out in the record of time as being
worthy of a sincere, Christian char
acter.
! am glad that could court Mr..
Brainard one of my warmest friends.
feel deeply his loss to the associ-
alton, to Payette, to his friends and
to his family,
Yours Very Sincerely.
