The three young mixers, Kennith

a little after s O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon and were subsequently, en-
tertained at a banquet being given
by the Allied .Glee Clubs of Pay
cite and Fruitland, at the Y. NJ. c.
A building.
These young men left Portland on
May 7th and will endeayor to cover
the intervening 3400 miles and reach
New York not later than Nov. 7th.
They wera given $3.50 each upon
leaving Portland and are expected
to earn their living along the way
by giving concerts, when necessary
to do so. They said if they received
SuCn lIedliu6nI eiSSnASIc dS u1d
been extended to them in Payette
it would not be necessary to waste
much time in earning travelling e1-
penses.
They are inviting the people to
visit the Rose Festival and enjoy
the scenic beauties of the Columbian
Highway. They are carrying letter

FARMERS HAVE SERIOUS
ALTERATION OVER WATER

L. E. Surber and P. K. Hansen,
farmers residing about three miles
east of Fruitland, quarreled over wa
ter Tuesday morning, as a result Of
which Mr. Surber was struck upon
the head by his neighbor Hansen and
now lies at his home in critical
condition.
There. seems to have been but one
witness to the affair, Thomas Murray
a neighboring farmer. 1t seems that
while the three men were engaged in
irrigating a heated controversy arose
between Messrs. Surber and Hansen
over the use of the water. The two
men went up the ditch a short dis
tance and Mr.. Surber stopped over
to pull check in the ditch, when
Mr.. Hansen struck him ON the back
of the head with a shovel, knocking
him down. Mr.. Murray rushed to the
scene of the trouble, took the shovel
from Mr.. Hansen and finding Mr..
Surber unconscious, took him to his
home where DR.. Wright of Fruitland
was Immediately summoned.
Mr.. Surber did not regain con-
sciousness until late IN the after
noon. 1t is now believed that he will
recover. 1t is thought a blood vessel
between the ear and throat was rup-
tured by the blow, as there has been
considerable discharge of blood
from the mouth of the injured man.
So far no arrest has been made
or complaint Hled>

WAR IN PAYETTE.

To actually see within a few steps
of ones home the struggle between
men and nations in Europe where
death stalks day and night bringing
viyidly to the mind of the spectator
the horrors Of war, is what the Will
hams Feature Film Company of Boise
Idaho, has successfully made possi-
BILE in the European war pictures
which will be shown here Friday,
June End, in the Emma Theatre.
None are more spectacular; none
tell so true story of the terrible
fighting that is flooding half the
world with blood. Not only are
these moving pictures fascinating but
they tell a moral-the folly of NOR
tails struggling to kill one another.
The pictures have well been
named, "a Grand Review of the
War in Europe" They were taken
by brave moving picture operators
who took their cameras under the
curtain of fire. facing many dangers,
keeping step with Death in order
that they might procure first hand
the Photographic story OF at least
part of the war. Their success has
made it possible for millions OF
people to have brought home to
them a graphic review of the great
struggle.
The Williams Feature Film Com
pany secured these films for Idaho
and adjoining states and under its
auspices they will be shown here.
They are worth their weight in gold,
but believing the people should be
given an opportunity to secure
closer insight of the European con-
conflict, the company has made ar
rangements to show the pictures
here at the nominal admission OF city
cents. The pictures ordinarily would
be worth 50 q seat to anyone wish
ing to get closer view Of the
mighty conflict across the ocean.

ALLIED GLEE CLUBS
ENJOY BANQUET
THE EVENING IS DEVOTED TO
MUSIC, SPEECHES AND
G0OD-FELLOWSHIP.

If We had ever had any doubts
about the fellows who compose the
allied glee clubs of Fruitland and
Payette being a wide-awake bunch
those doubts would have been dis
PEELED by the stirring events of We'd
inesday evening, when more than
( fifty of the members of that great
musical combination assembled in the
big dining room of the Y. M. G. A.
building for a feast and froljc such
as only such an organization could
ever hope to pull off.
This was the elimination and
celebration of one of the Very best
efforts that has ever been put for h
by SO large an aggregation of male
singers in these neighboring com
munities. 1t was in keeping with
that spirit of good-fellowship that
made it possible to hold together
and interest so many busy men in
the long season of practice and prep
aration for the delightful concerts
that followed.
Prof. T. R. Nelson, the prince
of musical directors, to whose efforts
can be traced much of the musical
spirit of the communities in which
he is engaged as teacher, was the
master Of ceremonies, choir-master,
drum-major, or something of that
kind, and gave to the occasion as
usual the very best of his genial
and musical personality. The High
School orchestra with Mrs. Nelson
presiding at the piano, furnished de-
lightful music.
The allied clubs sang number of
their best selections, which were
sandwiched with short talks by a
number of those present including
the mayor and president of the Com
mercial Club, who being laymen, in
sisted on being allowed to sing in
stead of speak, but by shere force Of
numbers were peacefully restrained.
II was very uuCu OIL an unS6iSluohi
Gus, free-for-all affair from the first
onslaught upon the bountifully sup
piled banquet tables until the last
chirp of the most bashful warbler
present
A very pleasing feature of the
evening was the presence of the
Portland Ad Club mixers, Messrs.
Hollister, William Simonson
and Raymond Meyer, who upon their
arrival in the city were invited to
become the guests of the banqueters.
These young men entered readily in
to the spirit of the occasion and
contributed to the enjoyment of the
evening. Mr.. Hollister, who has a
fine voice, sang two solos, being fol-
lowed by Mr.. Meyer, the boy of 16
years, who gave an interesting recit-
al of many of the amusing incidents
of their trip from Portland to Pay
ette

teresting. The speakers manner OF
presenting his conception of true
patriotism and the kind of prepared
ness that is essential to the per-
petuation of Nation of free peo-
pie. was something of departure 1t
is true, from the pathbeaten style OF
flamboyant oratory that is usually
brought into requisition on Decora-
ton Day. While paying to the men
who wrought so nobly during the
dark and trying days Of the sixties,
the speaker sought to apply the great
lessons of their achievements to
present day conditions and the ulti-
s,ate solution Of the great problems
that are confronting the Nation at
present and will continue to have to
be wisely and patriotically dealt
with in the future. The speech
throughout was in harmony with the
best definition of good citizenship
and true patriotism. 1t was most con-
siderate of the great performances OF
a past generation and hopeful OF a
future having for its rule and guide
of faith spirit similar to that
which moved and controlled the peo-
pls of that generation.
