STREAMS STOCKED
WITH FISH

At the suggestion of the State
game warden, Mr.. e. A. Blair took
up the matter few days ago of
stocking some of the ponds and
streams in this part of the county
with Lake perch A subscription was
taken up by Mr.. Blair among the
members of the Payette Rod and
Gun Club and others who are inter-
ested in fishing, to defray the ex>
pense of transplanting this particu.
lar kind of fish, and all responded
very willingly. Mr.. Geo. Boor and
Guy Howard drove to Lake Lowell
last week making two trips in Mr..
Howards truck, bringing large milk
cans filled with perch varying in
size from two to four inches. A
quantity was placed in the Payette
river at the Fruitland bridge and at
the Payette Mills bridge, also in
the slough on Mr.. Banks ranch and
in the slough at Mr.. Draper's place.
Several cans were dumped in the
Washoe pond and at other places. 1t
is estimated that about $4,000 fish
were transplanted. We understand it
is the intention to stock the Willow
Creek reservoir and the pond at the
Coates ranch also. Washington
County has placed a good quantity
of this same variety of fish in butter
milk slough between Payette and
Weiser. Lake perch are a real game
fish similar in shape and size to the
black bass and as fine for table use
as mountain trout.

CLUB
NOTES

That the Club is ona OF the solid
organizations of the City cannot be
questioned. Very interesting AID up
lifting questions are ire luentiy bot
out This is what happened at Mon
days session when the Club decided
to take a firm stand against any fl
ture carnivals being held in Fayette.
After the next meeting House to
house canvass to find out the senti-
ment of the homes will be made and
a petition to the council will follow
this survey. Mrs. NJ. f. Wood is
chairman and she will ask for addi-
tional help to make fair investiga'
ton. The money taken out is pitt
ance as compared with the evil inn
pressions left in its wake. In its
place why not have harvest homo
festival showing the various re-
sources of the valley. encouraging
the producers, and with pageants to
amuse? Think about this and put
your name on the petition.
In recent letter from Mrs. Blatch
ley from the College of Idaho, she
calls attention to Mondays States

Of the program proper, Mrs
Swank was chairman and she has
record for good programs. 1t was
all a delightful surprise. First, Miss
Hill, Payette's new music teacher,
gave a reading which was a piano
solo in which she played Venetienne,
a boat song of the Gondolers of Ven
ice, and for encore, an imitation of
mosquito buzzing.

ing was that by Mrs. Hughes. In eI-

RESTAURANT
ROBBED

When Mr.. Thompson, proprietor of
the Thompson Restaurant, came
down to his place of business Mon
day morning he discovered that
some one had entered the building
during the night and had robbed the
till of all the change amounting to
about $1,000 On investigation it
was discovered the parties had gain
ed entrance through the toilet win
dow. He also found walters check
on the window sill belonging to
Jack Smith, one of the walters en-
ployed by Mr.. Thompson. He at once
notified the Sheriff and after a little
further investigation Smith was
placed under arrest and arraigned
before Judge Keller where he made
an open confession and waived pre-,
liminary hearing and is now in jail
awaiting sentence by the District
Judge. Later suspicious led to the
arrest of Howard Liant, cook at the
restaurant, who was also arraigned
before Judge Keller where he denied
the charge and demanded a hearing
which will be held Friday morning
at 10 a. m.
At the time the restaurant was
broken into there was over $500 in
currency in the desk which was not
found by the parties entering.

CHICKEN THIEVES
ARE BUSY

Last Sunday evening or some
time during that night, the chicken
house on the w. W. Kay ranch just
south of town, was entered and all
but few of a large bunch of thoro-
bred chickens were stolen. That same
evening the home of Mr.. J. D. Miles
just few rods from Mr.. Kay's house
was entered but nothing was dis.
turbed The family upon returning
from church heard the door shut just
before reaching the house and saw
some one leaving the place. They
thought it to. be Mr.. Miles who re-
mained at home. But Mr.. Miles had
retired early and was asleep at the
time. 1t is quite likely the party who
entered the house was frightened
away by the return of the family.
Mr.. and Mrs, ]. w. Smith who
live in the house on the corner just
west of the Miles place, have also
been victims OF night providers with
in the last few days, having lost
quite a quantity of choice canned
fruit.

NOTICE

l was supported royalty by the
good sporting people of Payette in
taking up small collection to de-
fray the expenses of truck hire in
an effort to stock our nearby fish
ing grounds with some Yellow Lake
Perch, secured at Lake Lowell in
Canyon County, through Otto M.
Jones, our State Game Warden
Every body seemed to say "Yes.
will help" and this made it COM
paratively easy to get the funds.
Not a single man refused to donate
to the good cause. However, learn
with regret that some of these Perch
are being caught and to those who
may happen to catch any Perch
this fall, l ask in all kindness to
please return them to the water SC
as to get as large a Spawn next
Spring as possible.

RECEPTION TO THE TEACHERS

The reception given by the Club
Friday evening, with Mrs. Satoris
as hostess, was delightful social
affair. 1t was informal as the club
wished The Club colors, cleverly ar
ranged, showed it to be club his
pitality, through the kindness of the
hostess. NJ F. Albert, president of
the board of education, in a word of
welcome to the teachers, emphasized
the Importance of their work. All
we're pleased to again hear Miss
Ruby Landon in a solo, accompanied
by Miss Velma Spaulding, who is
one of Caldwell's teachers this year.
Solos by Mrs. Eastman and Mrs.
Rueggeberg were pleasing features
of the evening. The reception COM
mittee had prepared delicious punch
served by Mrs. Catron and Mrs.
Pease. Regrets were expressed that
a few teachers were unavoidably alb
sent, but glad to see Miss Rape again
in our schools. The large apple crop
to be taken care of, prevented many
friends of the teachers from coming,
and many club members are still
absent that would have been pres
ent.
