CLEVERLY PINCHED
FOR BOOT-LEGCING

+. r. Martin, a rather good-look
ing young fellow, who had been worl
ing In the hayfields on Big Willow,
thought it would be real nice to
celebrate he 6iand old Anniversary
of American independence, or the in.
dependence of an American, or some
how that way, by selling a little
booze contrary to the statutes made
and provided especially for the sup
preston thereof. He selected Pay
cite as his field of operation, and
July 3rd as the long-to-be-remember-
ed date of his great mistake He a.
SO selected Deputy-Sheriff ]. A.
Whittet as a safe guess and sold
him a pint-acoepting in payment
therefor an innocent looking silver
dollar that had been ingeniously
marked for future identification-a
combination of circumstances that
speedily eliminated in Mr.. Martins S
as a whiskey merchant

previously advertised as a restroom
by the Fourth of July celebration
committee.
After viewing the beautiful land
scape from a window in the base
ment of the City Hall during the pla-
cid hours of a peaceful and prosaic
Sabbath day, Mr.. Martins mental
machinery made a few revolutions
in the right direction,
with the result that when he appear
ed before Justice of the Peace Wells
morning he was ready to-
say, Il done it, l am ready to take
my medicine, but this is all for me-,
and thereupon he waived examina-
lion and was taken to Caldwell to-
plead guilty and serve his sentence.

The residence of Mrs Elizabeth
Purcell, on Third Avenue South be-
tween 9Th and 7th streets, was des-
-troyed by fire Tuesday evening
about I O'Clock. The building burn
ed so rapidly after the alarm had
been given that it was impossible
tn save any of the household ef-
fects, the loss on house and furni-
ture amounting to something like
$500. half of which was covered by
insurance.
The fire was discovered by Mrs
Purcell, who returned home about
Z o'clock from the Payette Cannery.
where she had been employed dur
ing the day. An alarm was immedi-
ately sent IN and the fire company
was not long in reaching the spot
and getting into action, but before
the f|aze could be extinguished the
building and contents had been prac-
ticaily destroyed. %

THE HOME TOWN
BY NELS DARLING

President Wilson, in an article in
the July number of the Worlds
Work, makes this staten ent-'Ii
America discourages the locality
the community, the self-contained
towns, she will kill the nation.
Many of these self-contained towns
are losing in population, are going
backward, while the great cities are
growing by leaps and bounds.
In the article above referred to,
President Wilson adds-"Ycu know
what the vitality of America con-
sists of. Its vitality does not lie in
New York, nor in Chicago, it will
never be sapped by anything that
happens in Saint Louis.
Nearly every city, great and small,
every town large and little, sprang
into existence as a trading center,
as a place for the exchange of COM
modities and thus became, nct only
the commercial, but the social center
for the people of the country tribu-
tary to it. When town becomes a
great city, it ceases to furnish to
the people of the adjacent country
the social side of their lives, for the
art of being a coed neightor is a
lost one with majority Of the
people in the large commerIial CEN
ters
The automobile, the interurban, the
long distance telephone are all bring
ing the large cities nearer ard near
er to an ever increasing number OF
people. These great centers have in
them a lure fer the folks OF the
smaller communities, of the less
pretentious trading points. The great
city is a vortex into which is being
drawn the very life blood of our
nation. People who cannot go to it
to make their homes are wont to
like to trade with its stores. Human
nature is very much the same the
world over. Distance lends enchant-
raent. Kansas City likes to shop in
Chicago. while Chicago FOLKS are in
clined to buy more or less from
the stores in New York, and many
woman purchases gowns in Par
which can be duplicated in stsid
old Philadelphia for less money.
My next article. will give some IN
teresting figures. will have some
thing to say regarding the towns tina
will hold their own, and will grow
and continue to be potent factors In
the life of the people in and around
them.

ONTARIO MAN
IN BAD SCRAPE
HOMER oVERSTREET WILL HAVE
TO ANSWER TO THE SERIOUS
CHARGE OF ASSAULT UPON A
YOUNG GIRL.

Homer Overstreet, an Ontario
young man, charged with an assault
upon Frances Grauel, a 17-year-o'd
girl, of the same place, was lodged
in Jail in this city by Deputy-Sherifi
j. A. Whittit, Tuesday night. Upon
the arrival of County Attorney Grit
fifth Wednesday morning, the prison
er was arraigned before Justice OF
the Peace Wells, when he waived
examination and was placed under
bonds in the sum of 81 900. Failing
to furnish the required bond, he
was subsequently taken by the
Sheriff to the county jail at Cald-
we'll.
The facts connected with the ar
rest of the young man, as related
by those connected with his sensa-
tional pursuit and apprehension, are
of a character calculated to make
rather difficult sailing for him in
his task of extricating himself from
the clutches of the law.
1t is said that Overstreet and the
girl were out buggy-riding, and that
while being passed on the road not
far east of the Snake River bridge,
by an automobile carrying Deputy
Sheriff j. A. Whittit, James Rich ant
H. J. Puchert, the screaming OF the
girl attracted the attention OF the
men in the rapidly moving automo-
bile. The car was stopped immediate
ly and Rich jumped out and az
preaching the rig, seized the horse
by the bride, at the same time the
girl jumped out of the buggy, but
the driver was alert with his whip
and the horse plunged forward, hurl-
ing Rich to one side. Then is said
to have followed a race between
the fleeing buggy and pursuing auto
mobile that would have been a
winning number On the program CT

Overstreet being finally
overhauled while crossing the Snake
River bridge, where he was unable
to keep up his tactics of zig-zaggfng
from side to side in front of the
Sheriff's smoke-wagon.

IOWA EDITOR is CONVINCED

The editor of the Vidette, publish
ed at Panora, Iowa, has the follow
ing item about the Idaho cherry
and an commissioner of Canyon
county:
"E. A. Blair, of Payette, Ida, ship
ped choice lot of Idaho cherries
to his sister, Mrs. Dan. A. Brown,
lately. In the shipment were sever
al varieties and this office was
favored with several each of the
species. There is such difference
between our homegrown cherries
and those sent here by Mr.. Blair
One of these differences is the size
the western cherry being much lar
ger than the native fruit, and an
other noticeable difference is the
firmness of the Idaho cherry. They
are much more meaty and trifle
sweeter than are ours. In speaking
of Mr.. Blair, we are displeased to
have to chronicle the fact that he
is not in the best of health. Our
people will remember him as an
asthma sufferer while resident of
this place. The western cline agreed
with him, and he succeeded in
getting away from the disease, but
a recent letter from him tells that
the disease has again taken hold of
eIour 10 uonm sc sIeIJns gu pus 'mIq
from that malady than ever"

THE CITY LIBRARY
MAKING PROGRESS

The report of the Library Com
mittee for the year ending June IA,
1915, read at a meeting of the Portia
Club and directed to be published:
The Library Committee has been
a very active one and it has been
a most successful year. The Commit
tee meets regularly once a month
with almost all members present,
and these same women give their
time to the Library at least once a
week. During this year the hours
have been slightly changed, cutting
off Wednesday from to O'Clock,
and opening Friday from to 6.
There are still two afternoons, Tues
day and Thursday, to be provided
with Librarians and it is the intea-
tion of the Committee to open the
Library on these days just as soon
as women will volunteer to give
their time to the work.
At present there are IL Librarians:
Mrs. Huff and Mrs. Spaulding on
Monday.
Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Muller, We'd
nesday.
Mrs. Gish and Mrs. Grimm on Fri
day.
Mrs. Stoughton and Mrs. Lewis 2
to 4, Saturday.
Mrs. Swanson, 4 to 6, Saturday.
Mrs. White and DR.. Thompson, 6
to 8, Saturday.
The Chairman wishes to take this
opportunity to publicly thank the
members of the Library Staff for
their loyalty, punctuality and splen-
did service during the year.
We have added upwards of 80 new
books by purchase and many more
than that by donation since Septem-
Der 1914. We are re-arranging our
books because of added shelf space
and we propose during the summer
to catalogue and properly classify
every book in the Library.
When more shelves were needed
we petitioned the members of the
Council and they ordered the new
cases in the Reading Room, which
we have put into use.
Since the opening of our Library
three years ago we have recorded
the names of 946 subscribers and
1891 books.
During the year we have received
from fines, lectures, donations and
dances s11454. We have paid $40
on our Encyclopedia and the balance
has been expended for books, cards,
printing, supplies, and repairs.
We need more Librarians and
more money to make the Library
a still greater factor in the upbuild-
ing of our Community.
Respectfully submitted,
