City With Band and Banners
Hold Successful Business Meeting.

One of the most important move
ments in the history of the Emmett
and Paye'-> Commercial Clubs, and
one that much for the future
success fadn5 fruit growing industry
of the Payette Valley, was launched
at a joint meeting of the two clubs
at the Elite Opera House on Tues

a special train for the Emmett peo-
pie to Payette.

train arrived, after which the pro-
cession wound up at the Payette Cold
Storage Plant, where lunch was
served to the visitors and to those
of the Payette Club who could at
tend. After the luncheon, Col.
Muller, of the Cold Storage Com

cool their immense peach crop be-

car loads of peaches to market this
year, and with new orchards COM
ing in bearing each year, the out
