Both Messrs Snow and Moody of
the Snow Moody Development Com
pany, Salt Lake City, having the con-
tract for watering Dead Ok flat
were IN Payette Monday and went to
the works to inspect the progress be-
ing made. After going over the en-
tire works both gentlemen expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
progress being made.
The canals and laterals are fast
nearing completion. The foundation
for the power and transformer house
is completed and the brick work be-
gan this week The big dredge that
has been working on the big intake
canal is being remodeled and work on
the canal has been held back on
this account. AS this work was not
progressing rapidly enough two car
load more of horses will be shipped
in at once and will be used on scrap
ers to move the top more rapidly.
The big dredge will soon be remodel
ed and then the dirt on the canal
will be made to fly.
Taken as a whole the work on the
entire project is well in hand and
spring will see water flowing on
many hundreds of acres of land on
Dead OK Flat.

The regular meeting OF the Com
mercial Club on Monday evening was
well attended Interesting reports
were read from j. G. Giesler, chair
man of the Payette river bridge COM
h-'ee and it was found that there
is close to s140 left in this fund
after all expenses have been paid:
On motion of e. C. Keith seconded
by T. ]. Brown, the money will be
apportioned back to those that gave
1t.
VIII Wells, chairman Of the fair
exhibit committee gave written
report of the money collected and
how spent. 1t was shown that
there will be sufficient in this fund
to carry on the exhibit work at the
various land shows this fall Mr..
Wells gave a short talk on the ex-
hibit at Boise and had with him
excellent photos of the display which
created much favorable comment.
w. H. Platt, county commission
er was present and advised the
club that Canyon County was en-
titled to five delegates to the Irri-
cation Congress to be held in Chi
cago Nov vember IS to 23rd inclusive
anu SLdLeu that luiS tOuAuuhAly
would be privileged to name one Of
the five delegates. President M.
F. Albert will select a man to at
tend this congress and represent
Payette.
After discussion as to the condi-
tion of the county road between Lit
tie Willow and Big Willow it was
decided that Payette should make
an effort to get something done on
that road. A large number of peo-
pie living up Big Willow and furth-
er up the river than the mouth OF
Little Willow find it extremely diff
eicult to travel this road and get
20 Payette during certain seasons |
OF the year and the club feels that |
an effort should be made to do |
with this road The Pres |
ident was authorized to appoint a |
committee to investigate the pres |
ent condition of the road and re- |
port to the club what could be
done. He appointed w. H. Platt, |
VIM. Moot and w. A. Coughanour.
The allowing of the usual monthly |
bills and the reading of some COM
that we're not of much |
was all the business that |
was transacted at this meeting.

'HOBOES OVERRUN
CITY OF PAYETTE
Many Depredations Past Week Lead
Council To Order Special Raid
Large Number Driven From City
This Morning.

For the past ten days Payette has
been almost overrun with hoboes and
many depredations have been com
mitted such as stealing chickens and
frightening housewives in various
sections of the city when demands
for food have been made.
Tuesday evening of this week w.
F. Edwards representing Harsh &
Edmonds Shoe Company, of Milwauk-
ee, Wisconsin, had a grip containing
sample shoes, stolen from the de-
pot platform after the drayman had
placed it there. The grip in ques-
ton was dark red one about three
and one half feet high and eighteen
inches long and contained nothing
but sample shoes all for the left
foot and number seven in size.
Reporting his loss to Marshal
Skaggs, a search was made of the
neighborhood and it was found that
near the oil well derrick perma-
nent hobo camp was being maintain
ed and also at the Radio factory.
Along the willows near the oil der
rick and the Radio factory other per
manent camps were discovered and
in the search for the missing grip
Marshal Skaggs ran across a grip
containing woman's apparel that
had been rifled and thrown aside
another fine grip was also discover
ed from which the lock had been
cut away and the contents of the
grip removed.
When Marshal Skaggs reported
these finds Mayor Brannock called
a meeting of the city council on
evening and on motion
Of Councilman Woodward, a raid on
all hobo camps was ordered for
morning early.
The raid resulted in large num-
Der of hoboes being driven from the
city and from now on wandering
Willies had best keep clear of Pay
cite as they will be dealt with in a
summary manner.
The council decided at its special
Meeting to ask all property owners
where hoboes have been making
amps to keep all enclosures nailed
I'D that they might not find it SOD
sasy to establish their camps.

About fifty men gathered at the
Young Mems Christian Association
building Sunday afternoon and they
were not disappointed. Taking for
the subject of his message, The
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment," Rev Smith of the Christian
church poured forth in telling words
the facts connected with the inaug-
uration of this, the most remarkable
and powerful united crusade Of the
hour, the men Of national and world
wide influence who are in the move
ment, and the great need there is
in the economic, social, political and
religious life of the nation for the
carrying out OF the great purpos s
sought in the movement.
At the close of the address a Mem
bership Campaign along lines new
to Payette was launched. Efforts are
being put forth to make the Associa-
tion here a far greater factor for up
building the life of the community
than it has ever yet been. Better
methods are constantly sought and
more life is being infused into the
different departments of work. New
lines of work, when feasible, are in
corporated into the activities Of the
institution, which originated and is
maintained for the purpose Of rem
dering service Of the highest kind.
More boys and more men who will
join in an effort tobetter the life OF
this community are needed. In order
to work together to accomplish this
task we must get together some
where, somehow. There is no other
institution among us so well adapted
for this purpose as the Young Mems
Christian Association. In order to
make II possible for more boys and
men to come in at once. for the first
time in the history of the local AS
sociation, for a limited time only.
cut will be made in the membership
fees. Under the new plan each men,
Der is constituted a committee of
one to begin work. His committee
grows as he and those with him
make it grow. When the group not
including the original member, reach
es ten in number the fees are reduc-
ed as follows:
Senior memberships. regularly $40,
cut to $3.50.
Intermediates. regularly Sc. cut to
$3.50
Juniors, regularly 81. cut to 49,
Those living at distance Of
three miles or more from the build
ing are given a further reduction Of
one half. Arrangements can be made
for paying the fees in installments,
if desired. The clubs Of ten may
be composed of Seniors, Intermediate
es and Juniors in any combination.
1t is earnestly hoped that every
boy and man who is at all interested
in the work the Association is doing
viii do his utmost to improve its
efficiency and extend its influence,
and, If he is not already member,
that he will avail himself Of these
low rates for membership. Inasmuch
as the campaign and these reduced
rates are for a limited time only,
it is essential that work begin at
once. The present membership num-
bers about 230 1t ought to be 400
and can be increased to this number
in short time by consistent, united
effort With the capable men who
