Master Theodore, son Of Mr.. and

fortune while playing with other chill

heads together, to cut his tongue,
which required the attention Of a
physician.

which was recently held. arrange
ments were made whereby all senior

A resume OF the Basket Bal ., a.
son.
The basket ball season now being
over, it pleases US to contemplate
over the splendid record made by
the P. H. s. quintet in the past SEA
SON 1t has been the most SIC 7ess III
in every sense Of the word, since
1913.
The team, by the Rules Of the
League, won the Championship Of
this section of Idaho, by having the
highest percentage. And We, thera-
fore, are contenders for the Cham
picnship of Idaho.
Last Friday a Tournament ended
at Caldwell, Idaho, in which teams
from all over southern Idaho were
entered. They played for Silver
Loving Cup and say. th'y pl7yed for
the Championship. Caldwell was the
instigator OF it and was repr sent
ed, as was Meridian High Schoo,,
but as Caldwell was completely Il in
the lurch in the League and Meri-
dian wasn't in the League, we would
like to have them explain their claim
for the Championship. 1t is true,
Emmett beat us twice but neyerthe-
less We have the highest perc ntage.
But putting all this out of the way,
now that Meridian has won fr-m
the south and southeast part Of the
state we are willing and anxious to
play them for the Championship of
the state; but no, they refuse and
say they are done. We thsn deduFt
that they forfeit the Championship or
else they are greatly deceived as
to the ruling on such an act by
Spaulding. We would like to have
our Meridian friends explain.
Therefore, the High School five
Of this place hold the Championship

MEMBERS OF CO. | GATHER
IN CITY AND ARE READY FOR
IMMEDIATE SERVICE.

The Second Idaho Regiment is
all in readiness. All companics are
stationed at their home towns and
are expecting to be callsd to duty
at any time. However it is not real
ly thought that anything definite
Will be done until after Congre SIS
meets. The boys Of Co. have on
their war togs and look mighty fine.
We can't help but fesl a great de-
gree of pride when we see the
splendid manner in which orr boys
conduct themselves. Their move
ments in drill work plainly show
the training while on the Border.
The citizens OF Payette have good
reason to be proud OF the soldier
boys and Of the officers in charge.
Their moral conduct and gentleman
ly manner is to be highly comm nd
ed, and should these boys be callsd d
to &C ion, We venture tn -ir showing
will be equally as coed.

HOLD CONVENTION
LARGE DELEGATION PRESENT
AND FINE TEAM WORK WAS
D|SPLAYED,-BIG BANQUET.

One OF the events CT the year
( in local fraternal life, was the
Knights of Pylhias Convention of
District No. S, held at Payette on
Monday OF this week. The convention
was attended by about two huldred
outside and local knights, repri Mt
ing a dozen outside lodges, who brot
with them four teams to cont, the
rank of Knight upon a number OF
candidates. These teams competed
for honors in the art of conf ring
the ranks, and II is said that their
work was of such a standard o. eI-
cellence, that the judges had diff
Guilty in selecting the winner. The
Weiser team was awarded firts place
in the contest.
The afternoon CT the day Was CIV
en- I'D to business esssion, while the
early part of the evening was CIV
en- up to magnificenty arranged
banquet in the basement Of the Y.
NJ. C. A, at which we're press Mt
about 200 knights. The banquet room
was nicely decorated in the colors
of the Lodge and Old Glory, and the
patriotic spirit wes given expire ssion
through the singing of My Country
'Tis of Thee" before the commence
ment OF the feast.
The comforting OF ranks began
about 9 O'Clock and lasted until
about 1:45 a. m. Tuesday morning
at which time more refre shmenfs
were taken, and the visiting knights
made arrangem ants for their de-
parture -
Everyone who attended reports
one of the best times ever had un-
der the auspices of Payette Lodge
of Knights OF Pythias No. 81, and
that the inspiration OF this splsndid
will be long felt In the
life and activity of the local lodge. /
A great deal Of credit for the sue
cess of this convention is due to the
Grand Chancellor Of Idaho, brother
Frank E. Smith Of Weiser, who
helped to inspire the local lodge IN
this task. His inspiration
and good will was felt by every |
knight to an extent Of making him
put forth the highest effort. The
local knights certainly excelled them
selves in carrying all arrangements
through without a flaw, and to the
of every outside visitor.

Canning Factory For Fruitland.

We understand that Fruitland is
to have large canning factory this
season. This is certainly move in
the right direction. A canning fac
tory many times furnishes a~market
for over-ripe fruit and many other
products that otherwise would go to
waste. Besides it creates a new in
dustry in the community. The pea
crop is one Of the means Of bring
ing early money into the pockets o.

should do well in a splendid coun-
try like that around Fruitland. A

completed, Captain Mudget was frank
in saying that Company l was ab-
solutely in the best condition and ell
equipement in the best shape any
in the Idaho Regiment. He had tn m
put through on drill work which was
highly commended not only by the
inspecting officer, but by all who
were present
The Company was then march TO
the City Hall where a large crowd
had gathered to be present at the
reception which had been previo sy
arranged for that evening. Prof ssor
7. r. Nelson and his Chorus o GO
male voices, opened the evening pro-
gram. F. o. Yeates, Pref sident of The
Commercial Club, who was in char
marks. NJ. F. Albert then made the
address of welcome, and SPOKE at
considerable length on the needs CT
preparedness, particularly at this
time when the Nation is seemingly
the very brink of war, and in our
judgement, every word in his re-
marks were facts and to the point.
Col. c. F. Muller was then called
upon, who in his smooth and pleas
ing way, made a very interesting
talk. His experience in the out-br ak
of the war of the rebellion, was lis
tened to with much interest. In the
course of his remarks he said that
while in the southern prison pans,
he had accomplished the feat of play
ing cribbage on his stomach. 1t
might have been easy for he Colon J.
then, but how about it now? He
closed his remarks by presenting, in
behalf of the Citizens of Payette, to-
each of the boys of Company /, a
little souvenir badge, a token of re-
membrance for their service and
good showing while on the Mexican
Border
Capt. L. V. Patch at this time,
took the floor and in behalf Of his
Company, in a very able manner, ex-
pressed their appreciation for the
interest shown by the people, and
also spoke words Of praise for the
boys of Company l.
Lieutenant Miles and several OF
the boys Of Company M of Emm t
who haSe. been transferred from Co.
M to Co. l, were present.
Severa ! selections were rendered
By. Prof. Nelson and his male chorus
and a solo by Miss Naomi Parsons,
which was much appreciated. The
evenings entertainment was closed
by singing the coed old song, Amer
ica, and all went home wi a feel
ing of patriotism.

paper, THE Poets Corner" went far
to make up any lack She showed an
intimate acquaintance with posts
past and present, and read few,
lines from two or three to illus rate
the style of the posms. Ano h r
thought was, that if all history Of a
nation should be lost and the poems
left, teh spirit and history would
still remain in the poetry. Mrs. Lat

no particular period of time, but are
being written all the time in prose
and poerty.
