shake House Damaged py Fire.

Last Saturday evening about s
O'Clock fire was discovered in the
roof of the Shake house in the west
part of town 1t was first discovered
by Mrs G. H. Perry, who told Mrs.
]. w. Berry and who turned in the
alarm. Nearby neighbors held the
flames in check by the use Of gar
den hose wich was already attached.
This probably saved the property
from being a total loss. The fire
company soon responded and in a
very short time had the fire under
control. All the furniture was re-
moved and received but little dam
age. The roof of the building was
quite badly damaged, and the entire
house was soaked with water. Burt
Forbes, who entered hole in the
roof in order to have better access
to the flames with the nozzel, came
in contact with a live wire and re-
ceived quite a shock but was able
to resume his duties until the fire
was under control The origin of
the fire is unknown.

Council Has important Meeting.

John X. White, State Dairy, Food
and Sanitary Commissioner, DR.. E.
T. Biwer, Secretary State Board of
Health, and State Engineer Smith
were in Payette last Friday and
met with the Mayor and Council at
the Mayors office, to confer with
our city officials regarding the
present condition of the city water,
and to assist in arriving at the
proper solution to furnish a supply
of pure water This is certainly a
wise move on the part of the Mayor
and Council to secure the services
of these men, as they are paid by
the State, and will be no expense
to the City, and in getting the ad-
vice of such men, they have secur-
sd the very best that can be obtain
ed. When plan is decided upon
under their instructions, there will
be no question as to future condem-
nation. Besides it is quite likely
with the advice of men with expert
ence, it will eliminate expensive ex-
perimenting.
