l just wish to make an explana-
tion as to why your full acreage
appears on your notices when in
most cases you hav some waste
land in public roads, canals, creeks,
swamps and railroads. We have
to keep a strict account of the full
acreage in order to beable to check
up on each section and toseethat
all land pays it's just proportion of
taxation and in order to do this all
acreage must be accounted for. But
in no case is your waste land valu-
ed in figuring yourvaluat1ons. In
al cases where there is waste land
reported to us in assessing we just
place a value on the land minus the
waste; thus if you own 80 acres of
land and have 10 acres waste We
only figure a value of 20 acres.

FOR A UNITED PAYETTE
VALLEY
Plans Being Made for a I'm
ion of Fruit Asso-
Citations

The get-together meeting of the
towns and fruitgrowers 0 the Pay
cite valley held in this city Tues
day resulted in preliminary plans
being made for a union of the
fruit interests of the valley.
More than 500 were aboard the
excursion train. Payette sent about
200, Fruitland and New Plymouth
increased the crowd over hundred
more. The Payette and New P.y-
mouth bands accompanied them and
with the Emmett band kept the air
filled with sweet music.
A buffet lunch of sandwiches,
strawberries, cake, coffee and fresh
vegetables was served in the Bell
& Wells garage. Tom Hance, John
Bell and L. G. Smith were chief
cooks and bottle washers and the
delighted comments of the visitors
we're evidences enough that they pei
formed their duties well.
At night meeting was held in
the High school auditorium at
which practical talks on fruit grow
ing were made by C. H. Sargent of
Fruitland, A. S. Soule and Geo.
w. Lattig of Payette, Fred Col
burn, Geo. P. Hall and Fred
Baisch. The talk of Mr.. Ba's h on
the subject of How to Pack Pea hes
was the most interesting to En-
NETT people and he was listened to
with great attention for an hour or
more. Mr. Baish is a thorough y ex-
perienced and practical peach grove
and he made many valuable sugges-
rions to the growing and handling
Of the peach crop.
The committee on organization
adopted resolution recommending
= union of the fruit interests of the
7alley for marketing purpose.
