CITY WATER
PROBLEM SOLVED
TWO WELLS EAST OF PAYETTE
WILL FURNISH PLENTY OF
WATER GOOD QUALITY.

The proposition Of how 10 give
the City of Payette gcod dean wa
ter and do it within the means Of
the people, has been a gu 8 ion OF
no little comment. Several attempts
have been made at considerable ex-
prrse to the tax payers during the
last 10 or II years, and many pro =
posals have been turned down by
the people. Bat Il now looks as #
the present Mayor and Council have
solved the mystery, notgithstand ng
thc fact many discouraging argu-
ments have been presented and much
criticism by the people.
Several months ago it was propos
cd by Mr.. Swanson, chairman of
the water works COMMITTEE that an
ample supply of water could be
secured by sinking wells at the
foot of the hill just below the Re-,
servoir. And the entire council haY-
ing faith in the proposition, wo-k
was at once startld, with the re-
suit that there is now no question
regarding a supply of good so.t wa
ter for all time to come. A well has
be n dug to depth of some 10 feet
and from the bottom several holes
have been bored in differ Mt di-
-ections a distance of % to 80

.hese holes causing an immens1 flow

ORIGIN OF
MEMORIAL MILE

The Memorial Mile" which means
SO much to the people of Payette
and the surrounding community, will
without a question, become a part
Of the Evergreen Highway. 1t Is
now accepted by the State Highway
as a part of the route. This partic--
ular mile of road which the Portia
Club has chosen to call the Aemor-
ial Mile, brings to our minds one
of the most generous and noble men
this community ever knew-the late
Henry Erwin. 1t was only thru his
generous and public spirited heart
that this road was made possible.
When it was deemed advisable to
seek a shorter route from the Bench
country TO Payette, a committee was
sent out to procure the right of way,
and while this road divided his stock
ranch into two tracts Of land much
to his Inconvenience, and consum-
ing over acres of valuable land,
he was the only land owner that
did not ask 1OT cOnS.OeTailOu. II
was given freely and without hesi-
tation, and after the right of way
was secured, and work begun, 1t
was discovered that the width Of
the roadway was not sufficient. He
came to the committee and said,
Take as much as you want" 1t thec
became necessary that this road be
graveled, and without hesitation, and
charge the gravel as well as
the right to haul the same throus
his fields, was freely given. Later
the State Highway commission want
ed more gravel which was as free
y given as the first. Had Mr.. Erwin
iFmanded remuneration fer that
which he freely gave, as did others,
his cut off to our bench country
,ould not have been secured, and in
III probabilities, We would not have :
secured the State Highway, or the
Evergreen Highway. And the Por-
ie Club chose to call this particu--
ar mile, the Memorial Mile. 1t is
ruly in memory Of true hearted
'ublic spirited man, that made It!
,ossible for the people of Payette
nd vicinity to enjoy for all time
o come, road that is a valuable
sset to the community. Z

TOO GOOD FOR
SMALL ROOM

Mrs. Muller's lecture and stereopti-
can views given in the Library room
of the Y. NJ c. A. last Thursday
evening were splendid altogether toe
good for so small place. We would
like to suggest that it be repeated
in some larger room, and be given
thu proper advertising. Mrs. Muller
has lived 8 years in Paris, and has
travelled over the greater part OF
France, and with her knowledge of
France, and ability to tell what she
knows and has seen, she should
draw a good house. AS this lecture
was given for the benefit of the Red
Cross, we are quite sure she would
consent to giving it again.

account of the higher cost of ma

on another s120 a year to those OF
US who can not do our work with
out such helps. The title above
puts the case in a most classic
form. If Idaho citizens want to
read the publications that the rest
of Americans are reading let them
get out of Idaho. OF course the eu

to light the inequiy of such Law;

LIKE BOLT FROM HEAVEN'S BLUE
 - A happy discovery of Cincin- nati chemist interests
 women here

Your high heels have put corns on your toes and caliuses ony our feet. but why earo now?
 A genius in Cincinnati discovered a magic ether compound and named it freezone. A quarter ounce of this freezone can now be had at any drug store for a few cents. Apply few drops on your tender, acalng corn CT callus. Instantly the soreness disap pears and shortly you will find the corn or callus so shrivelled and loose that you lift it off with your fingers.
 Just think! You get rid of a hard corn, soft corn or a corn between the toes, as well as hardened caluses for few cents and without suffering one particle, without the slightest ir- ritation of the surrounding skin. Just a touch of this marvellous freezone on a sore, troublesome corn gives instant relief. ...... z "A -.--. -.----1 $

SPLENDID RECORD | IN BUTTER YIELD
 OF HOLSTEIN COW

Verona De Kol Beets has justified the confidence of her owner. She is the twenty-fourth COW to obtain a place on the list of purebred Hol- steins that have produced more than 40 lbs. of butter in seven days. Her figures are 40.08 lbs. of butter, 720.9 lbs. of milk in seven consecutive days, made, as junior four-year-old, at the age of years months.
 She is owned by J. T. Chanahan of Aurora, N. Y. MT. Shanahan thought enough of her to pay Oliver Cabana, Jr., $10,OO0 for her at the famous Worcester sale last June. She has now justified his confidence in her and lived up to his expectations.
 Last year, as a junior three-year- old, Verona Del Kol Beets produced 32.59 lbs. of butter made from 526 lbs. of milk at just three days over three years of age. Had she freshen- ed four days sooner she would have made a worlds record as a senior two year Her new record places her fourth as a junior four -year-old.
 Her sire is EImwood Beets Korn- dyke, a bull with a good number of A. R. o. daughters that have made extra good records. Her dam is Verona De K0I Posch. On the sire's side this COW traces directly back to Alta Posch, whose seven days record of 27 lbs. as junior two-year-old was a remarkable performance when it was made several years ago. The breeding on both sides of the pedigree Of this new record maker is of the kind that is noted for large produc- tiO0

SAY SINN FEINERS
 BURNED U. s. FLAGS

London, Feb. 28-The newspapers continue to report seizures of land and other acts of lawlessness by Sim Feiners in Ireland. The police seem unable to prevent, these acts. Among other incidents is a report that Sim Feiners seized American flags which two boys were carrying in a street in Galway and tore and burned them.
 Henry Duke secretary for Ireland, is credited with the opinion that much of the present lawlessness is due to an organized conspiracy against the Irish convention. It is reported that many wealthy families residing in the west of Ireland have gone to Dublin to escape the disorders.

SUFFERING FROM
 FAMINE IN SOAP

Tt has been noted several times" says the Belgian Information Bureau, that soap is almost completely lack ing in certain places in occupied Bel gium, where it is sold for an exorbi- tant price. This is the case in the re- zion of Charleroi. The working peo- pie, according to a Teutpnized Brus- sells journal do not wash any more, except after the manner of cats. Con- sequently the scurvy is spreading, es- pecially in. the homes dependent on aid, to such q degree that several communal administrations - notably that of Chatalet-are about to take special measures to stop this new scourge. In certain communes estab- lishments are immediately to be ere ated where those who are contami- mated can take special baths under the supervision of doctors and nurses"
 The Whalen tobacco factory at Rochester, N. Y, was burned.
