The business men Of Payette as
sembled at the Commercial Club
rooms last Monday evening for the
discussion of matters pertaining to
business conditions, and to determine
upon the advisability Of forming a
business Mems organization, to be
auxiliary to the Commercial Club or
to be independent thereof, as might

again next Monday night at which

CITY WINS IN
SUPREME COURT
SUPREME COURT AFFIRMs DEcls
ION ON CONTRACTS.

The matter concerning the cor
strdctiop of Sidewalks and Curbing
ordered by. the City Council an,
which To,t@.with an opposition 81
strong Nsa " it almost became !;
d1ty of every citizen to line up with
one side or the other, and which
has caused much i'll feeling, has
been decided The Supreme Court
has affirmed the decision of Judge
Bryan in the case of E. w. Pease,
against the City of Payette. The ac-
tion was to test the validity of a
contract for construction of Sidewalk
and Curbs in an improvement dis
trict in this City, and the City has
won its case.
We are all familiar with the sub
ject matter of the controversy and
many OF US have openly expressed
our opinions this way or that, but
tie proper thing to do at this time is
to forget it,. There is but little of
value that can be had without pay
ing for it, and if it pinches US
little perhaps some of our neighbors
will sympathize with us a little-that
Is If We have not too strongly con-
demned his views on the subject.
The contractors, -@Messrs Lathrop
ard McComsey have already COM
pieted a great deal of sidewalks with
in the district and We have yet to
hear of a single individual who is
not glad that the walk is In. If the
work is carried to completion, as 1t
no doubt will be, and cur people Will
dissolve the various factions that
have continually opposed each other'
AMI instead of crying incompetence
graft and so forth, pull steadily To-
sether we can accomplish much for
our city. If any particular admins
tration fails to conduct affairs to
our liking we must remember that
others have opinions differing from
us. and that often we are OF the
minority. Possibly at the approaching
City election an administrative BODY
will be chosen that will suit every
body-but we doubt it.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The evening sermon topic is ''The
objectionable Sim" 1t is piece OF
sad irony that the men and women
who have gone everywhere where
Christianity was not, as the ambassa
dors of Christ, should be in so near
Is universal distress today on ac-
count of war amcng nations that
have been called Christian The
Presbyterian Church has 1880 pick
ed men and women scattered among
sixteen nations, beside 5000 convert
ed natives assisting them, the an
nual budget running above 100000
But at this time there is hardly a
station that is not affected by war
and in several fields the work of
fifty to one hundred years has been
stopped for the time being as COM
pletely as if they were belligerent
forces. Last summer every mission
ary had to get out of Mexico. In
west Africa where there is the great
est church in the world, some vii
lagos when work had been prosper
ing, have been compelled to move
bodily, missionaries, natives and all
with what they could carry on their
backs, to make battle-ground for
English and German soldiers. In
Syria at BEIRUT, 1.-THE Protestant
College" has been 75 years, giving,
not only free education but also
capacity for free civilization so that
the region round about is almost as
if a colony of some other race had
settled there. But now We can only
guess what is going ON there. Never
the-less we know that there is scarce
ly man in the homes nor a boy
in the school, some went to the
army to fight the races that have
been blessing them, and others dar-
ed the greater danger of fleeing to
the mountains to avoid such mons
trous ingratitude. In far off Persia
Persia has been cursed by some op-
pressor either native or foreign ever
since the day of Alexander the
Great. The freedom that makes men
truly free has been preached there
some forty years, and schools, chur-
ches and regenerated home have
come as a result. But now Turkish
Kurd and Russian Dragoman make
the village and city streets their
places of slaughter and the aban-
Goned homes, churches and schools
their hospitals. In India there has
been little trouble except enormous
charges for exchange to get money
to the missionaries. China and jap
an have been least affected but the
seige and captu-e of Kianchan has
brought the wsr effects close to
them. tbs theme will be continued
in the sermon next Sunday morning.

NITRATE DEPOSITS NEAR
HoMEDALE, IDAHO.

In furtherance of the Government
search throughout the United stat
es for supplies of potash and nltra-
tes. the recently discovered nfra,e
field near Homedale, Idaho was viSl-
ted by representative of the Geoio-
gicaa Survey in November, 1914. Ihe
field lies in and about the valley OF
Sucker Creek In Malheur County.
southeastern Oregon, near the state
line and about 16 miles southwest OF
Homedale. A number of prospecos
were visited and samples were col
lected for analysis. Two general cias-
ses of deposits were recognized "
crevice and cave deposits In the
lavas bordering Sucker Creek ana
(2) more or less bedded deposits IN
low rounded hills composed OF sedi-
mentary materials.
The first class includes the nitrate
deposits. Tht5 occur in crevices, usu-
ally only fraction Of an inch wide,
distributed in more or less indetermf
nate zones few feet in width,
where the fractured and shelly IA
va forms the protected cliff faces OF
small recesses or caves, and at the
base of cliffs, along the soil line, at
the same localities The more abund-
ant deposits of the first class thus
far discovered are those at the soil
line. These, however, seem to be
readily exhausted, yielding only a
few bucketfuls at each locality. Most
of this material had already been re-
moved from the prospects seen by
the Survey representative The main
deposit available seems to be that
in the crevices in the rock, but it is
doubtful if the nitrates have any
great extent OF volume within the
rock mass. The percentage of mira
to present in the rocks is very small
in comparison with the body of rock
that would have to be handled il
any attempt were made to recover
the nitrates for commercial purI oses
The amount is probably not more
than ! or per cent,

useless as it is almost impossible TO

councils in the past have given lit

of property owners in this particular
and lest addition space be given to
other lines we deem it the duty OF

Admitting that he would" Birsky
said, "if 20 per cent. of the people
which give the President wedding
presents gets married on him. and
that's a liberal estimate already, he
could schenk 'em the duplicates and
still be way ahead of the game. Take
such an article as a sugar sitter,
which every married couple is sure to
get two, and it's something which if
Mrs. Wilson should forget to put it
on the table nobody is going to say: Il
always thought the Wilson's lived nice,
but when | was there for dinner the
other night they didn't have a sugar
sitter to use on the lettuce salad and
yet / bet yer half the House of Repre-
sentatives would got to get married
before Mr.. Wilson is rid of the dupli-
cate sugar sifters and starts giving
away the duplicate olive forks"
"StiIl, the President must got to got
a whole lot Of presents before he
comes out clear on the expense Of
making the wedding" Zapp argued.
"Not at ALL" Birsky said, 81 see it
in the paper that the wedding would
be small one and only the close
friends of the bride and groom would
be present"
"Then my worst enemy should got

stand show to get appointed ash
mans helper unless he's got the ncces-
sary ability. And as for it's not being
etiquette to send the President wedding
presents, bet you if Tiffany or Cor
ham would got on their shelves the
silverware which the President would
get from the House of Congress alone,
for two years they would lay off their
operators and double their sales force.
Then there is the ambassadors and all
the foreign kings and queens. Take
for instance Bernstein alone. AS much
as that Teller feels like sending the
President for % soap wrappers cut
glass olive dish, bet yer the least he
could got to loosen up for is couple
of thousand dollars, reckoning the
regular ambassadors discount off and
everything"
"Say" Zapp interrupted. CHATS
all right, too, but don't you suppose all
them people which is sending presents
to the President also gets married
once in a while, too"
"You mean the President would got
to reciprocate?" Birsky asked.
"Well, wouldn't go so far as to say
that" zapp replied; what | mean is
that if a Congressman gives the Presi-
dent wedding present, naturally it's
up to the President to give wedding
present when the Congressman gets
married, amt it,"

been getting lockjaw from not-wish-
Observation-Disclosures -at-that."
"Well, if Roosevelt and Taft rings
in on this wedding" Birsky said,
"Bryan will be there also"
Certainly he'll be there" Zapp
agreed. "Ilim and Mr.. Wilson parted
good friends, and even if they didn't
Bryan knows Mr.. Wilson don't mean
nothing by anything he might say.
Anyhow, didn't Mr.. Wilson give him
the desk as a farewell present? If it
would be me, would of given him the
safe by swinging it out of four
story window, and when he waves me
good-by from the doorstep it is the
signal that some one cuts the rope"
"Well, anyhow, Mr.. Bryan would
make pretty good speech there at
the wedding" Birsky said. 81 wouldn't
be bit surprised if they already pick
ed him out he should propose the
health Of the bride and groom"
$50 there would be speeches at the
wedding!" Zapp said.
"Ain't there speeches at every we'd
ding?" Birsky demanded. "Roose-
welt will speak also. | bet he gets
up and says he hopes the bride and
groom will be as happy as he has been
in his married lives, and that if a
hundred thousand men is landed on
Long Island nothing could prevent
them holding New York until every
merchant rated higher than ] to NJ,
credit fair, comes across with his
share of seven billion dollars. Also
he wishes the bride and groom many
years full of health, wealth and pros
perity, and that without military
