A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.

Gorgeous costumes, dazzling SPEC
tacular effects, high class music,
stunning show girls and dashing
broilers from the background of
that most popular of musical com
edies, "The Prince of Tonight" which
will be the attraction at the Wheat
on Theatre, Weiser, Thursday, Feb
ruary 20. The cast is headed by
Henry Woodruff, who is seen in his
happiest mood in the title role. The
story tells of the adventures of Mr..
Woodruff as a stranded college youth
who falls in love with and is snubb-
I'd by a beautiful heiress whom he
meets while acting as life saver at
"The Breakers" Palm Beach. She
coquettes with him and then in
forms him that minus wealth and po-
sition he has no chance at all, But
he is befriended by an aged gard
ner who has learned mysteries of
magic from his plants and who turns
him into a prince Of a mythic1l
land for a night. 1t is understood
that if the prince fails to receive
kiss from the. right girl before the
night is over, he is to die with
the arrival of dawn. The manner IN
which he escapes the fate threat
ened him and wins the right girl
gives the authors, Adams, Hough
and Howard, unusual opportunity to
link modern characters with magic
and mythical situations. The trans
formation scenes, the artistic group
ing of the host of pretty girls in
cluded in the chorus, and the gor-
geous stage pictures will prove
revelation. Joseph E. Howard liter
ally surpassed himself in providing
the music for "The Prince Of To
night" and the constant introiuc-
tions of musical numbers offer much
to charm the lover of good music.
Among the many song hits are

LIBRARY COMMITTEE
HOLDS MEETING
Ladies' Laying Plans Looking To-
ward Securing Public Library for
Payette-commiCtee Organized to
Push Movement.

For some time the membership of
the Portia Club has been planning
on inaugurating a campaign to Sc
cure for Payette a public nbary., A
committee was appointed at re-
cent meeting of the club to take
charge of the work. This committee
met last week at the home of Mrs.
J. B. Burns and organized by elect
ing Mrs. Burns Chairman and Mrs.
w. F. Strother, Secretary Treasurer.
General plans we're discussed and
the committee is preparing to get
down to business and make every
effort possible to secure this much
needed institution for Payette.
The first move the committee will
make will be to secure temporary
quarters and to solicit books and
and get the libary estab-
lished in small way. They then
hope to create sufficient interest to
be able at some time to secure a
site and eventually the building of
a fine public libary building.

PANCAKE SUPPER A SUCCESS.

It has long been a custom to hold
pancake socials on Shrove Tuesday
and for that reason the day is some
times designated as Pancake Tues
day.
In accordance with this old custom
the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal
church gave a Pancake Supper last
Tuesday evening. Those who at
tended pronounced the affair an en-
tire success in every respect. Pan
cakes were served in any and all
styles as ordered and each person
was given all they could eat. Coz
fee was served when desired. The
cakes, which were declared by all
to be excellent, were cooked with
out the use of lard or grease Of any
kind on the new Aluminium Griddles
furnished for the occasion by Tom
Oriscoll. Entertainment Of various
kinds was provided for the guests
while the supper was in progress.

viii Build OlUir,za-
q Payette Cut oft
Double Tracking of Bridges Means
Immediate Construction of NeWI
rLine--OnLy Bridges at American.
Falls and Payette Widened.

Short Line places itself in position
to secure a double track across the
state and tap a great deal of valu-
able territory and as was given out
when the survey was made for the
Owinza-Payette cut Off gives them
a much better grade for all traffic
than over the present route.
We have learned on good authority
that plans have been prepared for
the widening of bridges west of
Payette butt not for any between Pay
cite and American Falls at present
This undoubtedly means the build
ing of the Owinza-Payette cut off
with double track from Payette to
Huntington and as the work has
been started we believe that the
building of the cut off is only
matter of the time taken to com
plete the bridges and resume con-
struction work on the cut off which
has already been constructed for a
considerable distance.
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1912-02-22

The fact that the o. S. L. Rail
road bridge across the Paye.te riv-
er at this point is being widened for
double track should be significant to
Payette people. Especially should
this be so when they learn that
the double tracking of the bridge
at American Falls has just been com
pleted and that the construction
crew came direct from American
Falls to Payette. American Falls be-
ing just east of Owinza where the
much talked of cut off branches off
to place Boise on the main line, it
is evident that the widening of these
two bridges means a double track
from Pocatello to Owinza where
the new line cuts off to Boise and
from Boise to Payette, the crew at
present being engaged in unloading
many cars of material that are daily
arriving in Payette to be used on
the bridge.
By widening the two bridges at
American Falls and Payette the

EXCELLENT OUTLOOK

Ready for sprayins-General Re-

Pruning has been the order of the
day in Payette Valley and is largely
finished at this time and the most
of the growers are oyerhauling their
big power sprayers and getting ready
for the time when they Will again
begin their war on the scale ard

comes very flattering repor coz
corning the condition OF the orchards
and now that the growers ha been
thoroughly through their orchar S
pruning and have examined them
closely the general repor S are that
never in the history Of the valley
were the fruit spurs so thickly set
and the buds in so healthy condi-
tom asI this spring. The weather
lately has been ideal. the days and
nights just cool enough to hold
the buds back and every day OF the
present weather is eliminating the
danger from a late spring frost
and with this out of the way Pay
cite Valley is going to have the
bumper fruit crop of its history.

EMMETT TO HAVE
WESTERN UNION

At last Emmett is to be connected
with the world by telegraph. A rep
resentative of the Western UniCn
Telegraph company was in town last
week for the purpose of estimating
the expense of construction OF the
line and make investigations as to
whether the business at this point
win warrant the cost of construction.
Upon the latter point, the report
viii be most favorable. The records
Of the Bell Telephone company show
that a large amount of telegraph bus
mess is done in Emmett, and dur
ing the fruit season is very heavy
The telegraph company contem-
plates opening an office as soon as
practicable in the heart Of the busi-
ness section. The line will be operat-
ed independent of the railroad com
panies, which will have wires OF
their own, strung upon the same
poles. This will be a great con-
venience and advantage to this sec
tlon and should receive the encour-
agemen' and support of Emmett peo-
pie. The present method of tele-
phoning messages to Boise for trans
mission is expensive, costing more
for telephone service than for the
telegram itself, and IS said to be
somewhat inaccurate.

its profusion of bloom graced the

feet harmony.

order. A letter of heartfelt thanks,
and receipting for the little dresses
sent to the Childrens Home, was

into the lambing season and the
sheep in fine condition, sheep men
are beginning to feel better. P. E.
Short one of the heavy sheep men
Of this section called on the En-
terprise Wednesday and in speaking
Of the situation said it was looking

fine shape this spring and all the
sheep men are much encouraged. The
recent contracting of wool clips at
eighteen cents near HALEY and the
reports of many contracts in Utah
running from sixteen to eighteen
makes them all feel that there VII
be something doing this season.
