A FEW NOTES FROM
SOLDIER BOY ON BORDER

Private Fred A. johnson of Com
pany l, End Idaho Infantry, writes as
| follows from headquarters at Nogales
Arizona:
During the entire journey here
the boys received the best attention
and hospitable treatment at all stop
ping places along the way.
"Our camp near Nogales, has been
described in a previous issue of the
Enterprise, but there is one particu-
Lar feature of the location that is
beginning to be appreciated. Being
on hill, the camp is free from the
washouts that have been experienced
by some of the other regiments that
are camped on lower ground in the
valleys.
so far the weather has been
very good, as the rainy season which
is now on, makes the days decidedly
cooler than they were earlier in the
season.
Company is rapidly coming to
the front and whipping into shape for
active field service, if required. With
the exception of few of the men,
with whom the Last "shot in the
arm" did not seem to agree, all are
enjoying splendid health and are in
fine spirits.
Several of the older men in the
Company have decided to let the
hair accumulate ON their upper lip
and chin, while some of the younger
men are trying to immitate their ex-
ample but with poor success.
''Jack Short has been transferred
from Company to the Machine Gun
Company. Jack is doing well, having
already been appointed corporal in
that branch of the service.
Officers and men alike are work
ing hard to make Company one of
the best in the camp.
"Ihe former Rough Neck quartet
of Payette, nowA.the f0cmpany
quartet is.sshe attraction 6f the en-
tires camp. The boys sing number
of new songs that have been written
by members of the quartet. They also
have songs for every occasion, such
as church and evening" entertainments

FARMERS PICNIC
THURSDAY, AUG. 8
EVERYBODY INVITED BASKET
DINNER--|NTEREST|NG PRO-
GRAM BEING PREPARED.

The arrangements are being per-
fected for the fifth annual farmers
picnic to be held as usual in Or
cults grove at Washoe, on Thurs
day next, the third day of August.
We had expected that the Enter
prise would be able to publish the
program in this issue, but some de-
lay in the completion of the same
has made it impossible to do So 1t
is sufficient to say, however, that
the program will be up to the high
standard that has popularized these
annual gatherings in the past, and
that hand-bills announcing the COM
plete program will be given broad
within the next few days.
A cordial invitation is extended to
everybody in this section. 1t is un-
derstood that Payette merchants will
be asked to close their places of
business as they have heretofore
done, during a portion of the day,
so that they and their employees may
have a chance to attend the picnic.

NAMPA REMEMBERS
HER SOLDIER BOYS

Other towns in Idaho are en-
gagged in raising a fund to provide
comforts and amusements for their
soldier boys. There is no reason why
Payette should be behind in the mat
ter of showing the appreciation of
its people for the patriotic service
that is being rendered by the men
who volunteered to leave their homes
for an indefinite stay on the ca1tus
plains of Arizona and in the event of
war, to serve their government in a
foreign country.
As an illustration of what may
be done with a little well-directed
Aeffort: A few days. ago the city of
sEampa sent S105 to be used for the
benefit of the men of Company b.
This was the balance left on hand
after nearly $500 had been used in
supplying the Nampa soldier boys
with many conveniences useful to
men in camp, before their entrain-
ment for the Mexican border.
Do you think those boys will ever
forget the people of Nampa, or that
they will fail to be better soldiers
while in the service and better citi-
Eens when they return TO their
home town, as a result of the inter
est that is being shown in their pres
ent comfort and welfare by their
home people?
Doubtless it is only necessary for
a few active men and women to take
the initiative in Payette along this
line, to prove that we are not in
different or lacking in appreciation
of our soldier boys. We should re-
member that they are where they
are from sense Of duty and that
they are carrying our burden of good
citizenship. We should take pride
and find pleasure in doing what we
can to make their service as pleas
ant as possible. ,~

MANY ENJOY SUNDAY
SMITHS FERRY EXCURSION

Quito a number of Payette people
took advantage of the special excur-
sion run by the Oregon Short Line
to Smiths Ferry last Sunday. The
excursion was in every way a pleas
ant affair and was especially inter-
esting to those who had not had
the opportunity of seeing the fine
scenery along the Payette river be-
fore. 1t was a beautiful sight to
look out upon the tall pines on either
side of the Payette river which is
very rough in places and runs with
terrific force as it rumbles ON its
way from the mountains to the
lower valley.
Upon arriving at the Ferry, which
is an ideal camping spot, about 1880
M, the excursionists separated
snd scattered away, each party seek
ing some shady spot where bas-
ket dinner was enjoyed as 1t could
only be enjoyed under such condi-
tions and with such surroundings.
Quite a number of the excursion
lists dropped off at different places
along the way to try their luck with
the gamey trout and several nice
catches were reported.
The Payette- Ontario party number
ed IT'S people, while the train from
Boise carried $50. Mr.. Seth c.
Rhodes, travelling passenger agent
Of the Oregon Short Line, accompan-
led the excursionists from Payette
and left nothing undone in the way
of accommodations that might add to
the comfort and pleasure of the
party.
Many of those who made the trip
expressed the opinion that the seem
cry presented is equal to that OF
many places that are widely ad-
vertised and largely patronized by
sight-seers throughout the country.
1t is believed that should these
short outings be continued as a
special feature of the Oregon Short
Line service, they will continue to
grow in popularity.

PAYETTE MEN HEARD FROM.

The News-Miner of Haley, Idaho,
in its issue of July goth, has this to
say about two of Payette's young
business men who took their depart
ure from this city on Wednesday
morning, July 18th:
''R. L. Roberts and Robert Keith
arrived yesterday afternoon from
Payette, having left there wednesday
morning at O'Clock. They spent
three hours in Boise and stopped
Wednesday night at Dickey. They are
travelling with two Harley-Davidson
motorcycles with side cars. The side
cars are used for their camp outfit
Mr.. Keith having his car well load
ed, but Mr.. Roberts has room In mis-
car for his setter dog.
''The boys are out for two OF
three weeks outing and are headed
for the Salmon river country, intend,
ing to go over the Galena summit.
On their return they may go down
the Salmon river to ChaHis, and
home via Mackay and Arco.
"Mr. Roberts was here two and
four years ago, and likes this coun-
try for camping out. Two years ago
he came from Payette here in one
day on his motorcycle, but had no
side car on that trip"

GRAIN ELEVATOR
WILL Be BUILT
AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
MADE BY THE PAYETTE
MILLS.

Payette is to have a 10000 bushel
grain elevator. The present sacked.
grain warehouse of the Payette Mills
will be taken down and in its place
there will be erected a modern ele-
Vator for handling grain in bulk.
There will be built also large
storage house for mill feeds.
The change will mean more
compact and handler plant and is
a gratifying indication of the sue
cess that has attended the present
progressive management of this big
community enterprise.
The work will be begun at once
and pressed to completion 80 as to
be ready for the usual time of
wheat deliveries.
Extensive changes will also be
made at the feed mill, making it of
sufficient capacity to handle a con-
siderable quantity of feed grains at
that plant, while yet other improve
ments are in contemplation.
This work on the part of the
Payette Mills at this time will mean
that it will be unnecessary for grain
growers in this vicinity to buy sacks
for all their wheat as in the past.
A small storage room on the farm
and just enough sacks to haul a
load of grain to the elevator, where
the sacks will be emptied, will be
all required. In fact the grain can be
hauled loose in wagon boxes if the
grower so desires. and this is very
largely the custom in older grain
states.
This grain elevator is one of the
naturally resultant benefits of hay-
ing our flour mill in active operation,
instead of the property being closed
down, and the men who are behind
the enterprise with their money are
entitled to the undivided support of
the entire community.

PAYETTE LADIES SENT NICE
CONTRIBUTION FOR Co. |

We have been shown a letter
from Mrs. Sam Ballantyne, secretary
of the Idaho Red Cross Society, in
which acknowledgment is made OF
the sum of $1,000, which amount
was contributed by the ladies OF
Payette and vicinity, as result of
the Fourth of July dinner given at
this place for the benefit OF the
boys of Company 1. This money was
used to pay for kits" which were
given to each of the members Of
Company /, when they entrained for
the Mexican border. These kits con-
tanned for each man the following
articles: 1 abdominal bandage, l
wash cloth, 1 cake soap, 2 towels, 1
pocket comb, / pocket mirror, card
safety pins and package gum, the
total cost per kit" including bag
to carry articles in, being $1.16 for
each man.
This money was so used In
response to an appeal which had
been sent out by the Idaho Red
Cross Society to all communities
from which militia companies had
been mustered into the service.
There Is a small amount, only a
few dollars, remaining on hand,
which it is understood will be aug
mented by future efforts of the wo-
men OF Payette and community. who
have shown such willingness. to
contribute to the comfort of the boys
of Company /, and will be used for
their benefit.

SHORT LINES
RATE ADVANCE
STRIKES HARD BLOW AT FRUIT
INDUSTRY OF
IDAHO.

An advance in tariffs on green
fruits east from Idaho points was
filed last Thursday by the OREGON
Short Line with the public utilities
commission. The advance announced
by the railroad is in addition TO an
advance in tariffs made so days ago
in refrigeration rates east from this
state by the common carriers, and
will, in some instances, result in
freight rates on carload lots of fruits
being increased as much as $50 a
car. q
In the tariffs on refrigeration filed
with the public utilities commission
in May, the rates on cars were ad-
vanced from IS to $40. These tar
iffs have not as yet been put into eff
feet. When the advance was announc-
ed the fruitgrowers filed a protest
with the commission, resulting in a
motion for a hearing. This hearing
is yet to be held.
Points Affected.
Points named in Idaho from viii b
the new rates become effective are
Huntington, Ketchum, Buhl and Hill
City in the west side of the state;
Idaho Falls, Blackfoot and Pocatello
in the east end of the tate, and Ma
lad and Preston in the southeast sec
ton of the state. The rates are ef-
fective from all intermediate points.
The increase of rates on apples in
carload lots ranges from 5 to z 1-2
cents per hundred pounds from all
sections of the state to points in the
south and middle west. The advance
in rates on other fruits from this
state to the south and middle west
runs from to II cents.
Rates on apples to eastern points
will be increased very little under the
tariffs, amounting to not more than
2 cents hundred from the southeast
ern section of the state. From Snake
river points the increase win range
from 2 to cents. There is little
change from the old rate for carload
shipments from Idaho Falls, Black
foot and other towns in the east end.
Advances on other green fruits to
eastern cities from the east end and
southeastern section of the state will
range from two to six cents, while
from Snake river points the increase
will amount to as high as IL or Is
cents.
