been deliberately decorated with fes-
toons of roses and other flowers,
tokens of peace and happiness,
strangely interminged with the ever

played and three rousing cheers were
given for the boys of Company /,
followed by three more for Company

WAR WITH MEXICO SEEMS INEVITABLE
GUARDSMEN HONORED.

The banquet which was given tc
the officers and men of Company l,
at the Y. M. c. A. building Tuesday
evening, demonstrated two facts
first, that the people of this com
munity are not short on patriotism,
and second, that the term prepared
ness" is not without meaning when
such an affair can be so successfully
arranged for and carried out within
the space of only a few hours.
At meeting of the Commercial
club held Monday night it was pro-
posed that a banquet be given to
the boys of Company I, and that it
be on a scale in keeping with the
occasion. Following few brief and
patriotic talks, and upon the adop-
tion of motion to carry the prop
osition into effect, committee was
appointed, composed of Messrs. T. F.
A. l.. Gorham and F. o.
Yeats, to have charge of the arrange
ments. 1t is unnecessary to add
that the committee got busy without
delay, and the street decorations,
with the National colors everywhere
in evidence, and the splendid banquet
that followed Wednesday evening,
when more than two hundred peo-
pie were seated at the tables,
ta kap n, ooppao+io, Nth A. r.Ia,
did program of the evening, spoke
big for the efficiency of the men
Of the Commercial club, the ladies
Of the Portia club, who ably assisted
them and the ladies of the Y. M. G. |
A. Auxiliary and their young lady |
assistants, who were able to pre-
pare and serve such an elaborate
banquet on so short a notice.
Mr.. A. L. Gorham was master of
ceremonies and the program consist
I'd of music by the Payette band,
songs by the glee club and five
minute speeches by Col. C. F. Null
er, Calvin Keller, F. o. Yeats, Cap
ain R. L. Shaw, Gen. L. V. Patch, |
Judge Thayer and Mr.. Gorham. The
alks were al timely and overflow
ng with the spirit of patriotism. A
tirring invocation by Rev. M. D.
iced was fitting conclusion of
uch an occasion.
The great hit of the evening was
song by the glee club, Yankee
doodle Up to Date" composed by
fr. J. c. Lewis for the occasion.
his song was repeated in response

FRUIT GROWERS WILL FIGHT
NEW REFRIGERATION TARIFF

| A special meeting OF the Payette
Valley Commercial Club was held
Monday evening at which there was
present fair representation of the
fruitgrowers of the vicinity and of
the Fruitland section. The meeting
was called to consider a communica-
ton recently received from the Boise
Commercial Club In relation to a
protest that has been initiated by
the Public Utility Commission of the
State OF Idaho with the Interstate
Commerce Commission against pro-
posed advances in refrigeration rates
from Southern idaho to all points in
the United States and Canada.
The new tariff was to have be-
come effective May 10, 1916, showing
advances from five to twenty dollars
per car for refrigeration. The case
will be heard before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and it is pro-
posed to secure the necessary data
at first hand from fruitgrowers of
this part of the state, TO prove
that any advance in tariff rates ON
fruit shipments will result in the
ultimate destruction of the fruitgroW-
ing industry in this section.
In the discussion of the subject
some very important facts were
brought out, statements were made
and affidavits read that should have
great weight in combating and de-
feating any argument that can be
advanced by the railroads in support
of increased tariff rates.
Following the discussion, upon mo-
ton duly carried, committee OF
three was appointed by the chair,
to canvass the territory and procure
affidavits from fruitgrowers as TO
he actual net sales and cost OF
production of fruit sold. The COM
nittee is composed of Messrs. Ben
E. B. Sargent and R. w.
They will be pleased to
AVE all fruitgrowers who are pre-
Jared to furnish such data as is
lesired get in touch with the COM
nittee as soon as possible, as ID
will be necessary to have prepared
or the use of the Public Utility
commission such pertinent facts as
re obtainable without unnecessary
clay.

If all are not needed an effort
will be made to relieve those ON duty
there from time to time, so as to
distribute the duty.
This call for militia is wholly un-
related to General Pershing's ex-
pedition, and contemplates no addi-
tional entry into Mexico, except as
may be necessary to persue bandits
who attempt outrages ON American
Soil,
"The militia are being called out
so as to leave some troops in the
several states. They will be mobfl-
lied at their home stations, where
necessary recruiting can be done"
Organizations of the militia and

grams to the various governors, with
places of assembly are designated as

regiments of infantry, two batteries
of field artillery, one company signal

try at Fort Logan H. Roots.

age, for they had provided them
selves with machine gun, and this
is supposed to have done deadly
execution in the ranks of the Ameri-
cans.
According to the story the Mexi-
can command was concealed in the
underbrush when it discovered the
American cavaIrymen riding toward
them over the sand. General Gomez
is said to have given the signal.
when a Mexican machine gun in
the rear opened fire on the Aneri-
cans, which swept the cavalry ranks
immediately, however, a detach-
ment of American troopers dashed
forward under heavy fire to the
center of tie field where General
Gomez and his staff were sitting on
their horses. In the resultant en-
counter, one of the cavalrymen killed
the Mexican leader with his pistol,
while the remainder Of the Carran-
zista party escaped to their own
