Monday evening the Commercial
club held its regular meeting and ex-
perienced the most enthusiastic reg
ular meeting the club ever held.
The results of the get-together
smoker were apparent in the twen-
ty-one applications voted upon for
membership.
The first matter to come up was
the proposition that has been made
to the city by the Idaho-Oregon
Light & Power Company to furt
nish the current for large electric
sign at the depot free for hwo
years providing the city furnish the
sign After considerable discussion
as to the best way to get the sign
committee consisting Of E. C.
Keith, F. NJ Satoris and "A. L. Cor
ham was appointed to see the city
council and ascertain what they
could do in the matter, and to ascer-
tain the price of getting and in
stalling the sign.
The subject of the organization of
a highway district under the new
law was thoroughly discussed and
Il was the general impression that
his end of the county must get
busy and hustle with the formation
of a district at once or run a chance
ol being left out in the cold and
not being able to form one for an
ether year. A committee consisting
Of General L. V. Patch, VIM. Moot
and C. W. Lawrence was appointed
to get out the petition, secure maps
OF the proposed district and get
same before the commissioners in
time to be acted upon the eighth
of this month.
The proposition that last year
Payette did not observe July
Fourth came up and it was decided
unanimously and with great en-
thusiasm that this year we should
pull off the biggest and best cele-
bration ever A motion that a COM
mittee of five be appointed to Sc
cure funds and arrange for the eel
ebration carried with a whoop and
A hurrah. President Albert has not
yet announced who he viii appoint
on this committee.
It was the general impression that
the campaign for new members was
greatly augmented by the get-togeth-
er smoker and that since that meet
ing there had been a better feeSs
ing in the club and a motion that
another smoker be held also met
with unanimous approval and Pres
ident Albert appointed NJ. E. Wood,
T. ]. Brown and H. L. Settle COM
mittee to arrange for the same.

CHANGE IN BUSINESS.

The first of this month Cyrus Wiz
Iiams purchased the Enterprise Nc at
Market from Fl. F. Stevens and on
this date the business of the Enter
prise Meat Market and the City
Meat Market owned by d. w. Shell
ton were combined and will be con-
Quoted under one head the firm
name to be that of the Payette Meat
Company. The change is made By
MIR. Shelton and Mr.. Williams to en-
able them to conduct both markets
in a cheaper manner and thus to
give to the public better service. By
combining the management of both
shops they can dispense with the
expense of one slaughter house and
of considerable extra help and thus
Ieheapen the expense of running me
shops and in this manner furnish
meat at cheaper price to the
consumer than though both shops
were run separately. Both gentle
men are well known in Payette, D.
w. Shelton having been owner and
manager of the City Market for
two years and Cyrus Williams has
been here long enough to be rased
with the Oldest of the old timers,
Under the new management both
gentlemen state they win give 10
their patrons the best of service at
the lowest possible price.

SCHOOL BOARD BUYS
HIGH SCHOOL SITE
seven Acres of Land Admirably Lo-
Gated for High School Building
Purchased by Board of Education
from N. A. Jacobsen-Land Is
On Payette Heights at the Foot
of Center Street and First AVen-
ue North.

The latter part OF last week
deal which has been pending fol
some time was closed between N
A. Jacobsen and the board OF Eau
cation whereby the district becomes
the owner of a fine seven acre
tract of land on Payette Heights
at the foot of Center street and
First Avenue North, just eieh
blocks from the postoffice and one
block from Jacobsen park.
For sometime the board of edu
cation has realized that sooner OF
later Payette must have NV
high school building and have been
endeavoring for sometime to get
the affairs of the district in shape
70 provide a suitable site before
the price OF land reached too high
a figure and also while there were
tracts well situated that might be
secured. Even as it is at present
l,he board feels that they are LJF
tunate in securing so admirable a
site. Look where you will and you
perhaps can not find a site large
enough for the purpose that is as
well located as is the present one
just purchased.
The tract secured has a frontage
CT AGO feet and a depth Of 700 feet.
The frontage so lays as to pro ide
Ior terracing without much ex-
pense and on the two sides the
same arrangement can be had with
out a great outlay. In the main
the tract is level and viii require
put little work to get in shape for
buildings,
1t is the intention of the board
OF education to go ahead with Aa
improvement of the ground as last
as possible. Trees will be set out
and if possible an athletic field will
be leveled and fenced off in the
rear Of the tract that the high
school athletic association may
next fall have a place OF their own
60 pull off their various athletic con-
tests.
Payette has long faced the fact
that sooner or later preparations
must be made for a new and ade-
quate high school building. The
schools have been foF the past two
or three years badly crowded and
with the constant influx of new
people conditions get worse every
year. Now that the board of edu-
cation has secured the site the
next movement should be for ev-
eryone to get his shoulder to the
wheel, help beautify the grounds
at the least possible expense and
then vote bonds for a new hieh
school building, one that will be a
credit to the community:
Already the high school pupils
have shown a great interest in the
as on Tuesday they were
given a vacation and the boys all
went out to the new tract and by
noon had tile sage brush practically
from the tract and burned.
At noon the girls of the high school
arrived on the scene with well filled
lunch baskets and rewarded the boys
with a fine spread for their hard
labor.
