suited in the biggest and most en-
thusiastic meeting ever held IN
cite and the feeling established
vim result in many good things Tor
Payette. By eight o'clock it was
seen that the standing room oniy
sigp would have to be hung up IN
the club rooms and by nine there
was not a vacant chair in the rooms
and the biggest crowd ever gather
ea in the club rooms of the Pay
cite Commercial Club was present
The program was largely informal
as after listening to reports Oh
several committees President NJ
f. Albert announced the intention OF
abe meeting and stated that ne
would call on a number present Tor
three minute talks on the Needs
of Paye.te." Excellent talks wer
made by a large number and the
sentiment of the meeting seemed 70
run largely on better streets and bet
ter roads entering the city. In this
connection Senator B. P. Shawhan
made an interesting and comprehen-
eiye talk on the new highway la"
passed by the recent legislature in
which he explained thoroughly the
ooeration of the new law.
Other talks were made by Mayor
Coughanour, A. L. Gorham, J. T.

end others and as the meeting was
about to be brought to a close
John A. Harader Secretary Of the
Commercial Club, reviewed the WORK
of the club in the past and made an
excellent argument for better sup
port in the future From the rese
dents of Payette.
Six new members were voted into
the club at this meeting and num-
Der of others filed their application
for membership at the close OF the
smoker. Good cigars were provided
for those who smoked and for those
who did not enjoy the weed there
was chewing gum All attending
the meeting agreed that It was the
largest and most enthusiastic meet
ing the club ever held and would be
productive of great good.
The general vein of all talks was
that while there were many things
Pavette needed, the greatest thing
she really needed was a solid get
together spirit which would result
in many things being accomplished
that had not been in the past ana
several of the speakers spoke elo-
ouently asking the support of the bus;
mess men for the Commercial Club.
That Payette needed better lights,
hotter streets. better hotel build
ing and an opera house all came
in for a hearing and many plans
were suggested as to how to best
secure all these improvements. The
talk of the evening which probably
more generally expressed the senti'
ment of the meeting was that OF
REV. George Turner who stated IN
mart that he believed the present
meeting was exactly what Payette
,Ao5 There were perhaps many
improvements all Of them desirable
hut the greatest thing he observed
was that not a man had left the
meeting and that Payette was de-
veloping a real getsogether spirit
and he believed that more Of such
meetings would get everyone in the
frame of mind that sufficient en-
tbusiasm would be developed to get
whatever the people went after,
