PORTIA CLUB NOTES.

The Portia Club has secured the
ANNA Theatre as the place for the
Soldier boys to hold their entertain
ment, and all the proceeds are to
go for the benefit of the Library.
No work of this club has done more
good for the people of Payette and
vicinity than has the Library Com
mittee. Mrs. Muller is chairman and
is assisted by the different members
OF the club. This committee has
kept the doors open five afternoons
of each week for nearly four years,
and buying such new books as they
could from dues and entertainments.

the good Soldier boys, to give them
quite a boost this time. And that
means not only helping the Library
but helping every man, woman and
child who wish to take advantage
OF this good form of reading mat
ter. 1t is beautiful to watch the
school children each evening and
on Saturday rush into the reading
room (the little boys always doff
their caps as they enter the door,
and all their little faces light up
with the anticipation Of agood

LITTLE ARNOLD NORRIS
PASSES AWAY.

FHooG0 AWAIT
When the sad news was sprea,
over town, that little Arnold Norri
had passed away, it cast gloon
over the entire community that onl.
comes when the sting of death hal
taken from our midst, one 80 limo
cent and bright as was little Arnold
Norris.
1t was discovered some months ag
by the attending physician tina
the child had diabetes, a very rart
case for one so young, and grave
fears were entertained for his re
covery. He was Immediately takeI
to a specialist at Waukesha, Wis.
where for time he seemed to i'm
prove and was returned home witt
hopes that he might out-grow the
dreaded disease, but all hopes were
blighted when a short time before
the death angel came to take the
untarnished little soul, he became
suddenly worse and while every eff.
fort was made to restore him, il
was of no avail.
Only a few days before he was
taken away, he seemed to know
he could not live and told his
father and mother that he was go
ing to die and asked to be laid to
rest beside his little play mate,
Harry Mccarthy.
While the death of this little one
was not altogether a surprise, yet
there is the little vacant chair, the
little shoes that once made hearts
glad with their patter on the floor,
The little playthings that constant
y keep them in mind of the once
bright little one that would have
been their pride through life, but
he little bud was plucked before the
bloom. Yet amid the keenest of sor-
'ow, there is one consoling thought,
le has left cruel world of sor-
ow, sin and temptation, and gone
,ack from whence he came, pure,
tweet and innocent, with the littlel
oul untarnished, where sin and
moth doth not corrupt.

" HOLDS DEDICATION.

z The congregation of the Christian
church on Ninth street and Second
Avenue North dedicated their fine
building last Sunday and were very
successful in raising the funds to de-
fray the Indebtedness. The weather
was cold which prevented many from
attending who would have been pres
ent under more favorable conditions,
SO the audience the minister faced
was about the average Sunday con-
gregation, and the pc eople felt doubt
full about the final outcome of the
undertaking, but each one evidently
fame prepared to do his or her very
btst, and after a short exhortation,
the pastor, John Kendrick Ballou,
who recently came from Modesto,
California, called first for One
Thousand Dollar pledges, and while
the members had already given lib
verally during the construction Of
the building, and it did not seem
that there were any able to give
this amount, yet there were three
pledges of One Thousand Dollars
each in addition to what had al
READY been paid. Some paid one
Thousand dollars all told counting |
their past payments and their pres

FIRE DESTROYS
BERRY RESIDENCE
THE RESIDENCE AND MOST OF
THE CONTENTS DESTROYED
WITH BUT SMALL INSUR-
ANCE.

The ]. w. Berry residence nea,
the Brethren church on 3rd Avenue
North was destroyed by fire with q
part of its contents between five
and six O'Clock Saturday evening.
The fire caught from defective
flue in the kitchen and was well
under way when discovered by Mr..
Berry, who Immediately closed the
door confining the flames to that
portion of the building and directed
his attention to getting Mrs. Berry
and the children to place of safe
ty, after which an alarm was turned
in and with the assistance of neigh
bors Mr.. Berry worked heroically to
save the piano and other furniture,
spite of the rapidity with which the
entire building was soon enveloped
in the flames. Nothing was saved
from the kitchen where the fire.
originated and it was only by thei
presence of mind and quick action
of Mr.. Berry in cohfining the fire
temporarily to that portion of the
building that it was possible to save
the balance of the household effects. !
The building which was valued at
about $1,000, was insured for $500,
while the furniture carried $500 in |
surance. Mr.. Berry had but partially !!
paid for the property, the insurance
On the building being for the bene-
ht of the former owner.
The Berry family moved their
household goods into one Of J. M.
swansons buildings nearby and on
Sunday morning when seen by an
Enterprise reporter, Mr.. Berry said: i
When our home was gone and
what was left of our household goods
yare out in the street last night
lur unfortunate situation was in
very great measure modified by the
many kind offices of our neighbors

|MERCHANTS|N SESSION TALK
 IF PROBLEMS

So successful was the luncheon at the Central school yesterday for the merbership of the Merchants and Man ufacturers association that the affair will become monthly event. The luncheon yesterday was largely attend ed and the discussion which followed proved most helpful and developed two important phases of merchandising in Phoenix = the first the question of the waste in sending out receipts when bills are paid by check and the second, the question of cooperating in making credit ratings
 President W. l.. Pinney was in the chair at the meeting and generally di- rected the discussion, which was very general, nearly all if not all of those present taking part
 It was decided with regard to the mailing of receipts when payment is made by check, to recommend that this practice be discontinued and to furn- ish to members uniform rubber stamps so that the information may be stamped on bills f.c rne benefit of customers. A check is. of course, a perfect receipt for bill and to ack- nowledge the receipt of a check takes time, paper. envelopes and postage, all 
 that unless receipt is asked for none will be sent when bills are paid by check and by stamping such an ex- planation upon the bills when they are sent out, it is believed d very consider able savings will be affected.
 The discussion of the credit situa- tion was lead by the credit men of the larger mercantile establishments of the city. who urged greater co-opera tion among merchants in doing this work. It was pointed out that the customer who pays the bills is interest cd, for he must pay for those who de fraud their creditors, if business is tc continue. Thus, cooperation among the merchants in establishing credits is a prime essential in successful business | A formal motion was adopted tr make such gatherings monthly even 1 in the future.
