Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1919-04-17
CARRIED OUT WITH
GREAT SUCCESS

The program as announced for last
Friday was carried out with great
success. Governor Davis and Adju-
tant General Wilson arrived by auto
in due time, and were entertained at
the Y. NJ. C. A. for lunch by the Pay
cite High School Cadets, and at P.
NJ. all business in Payette was sus-
pended while the cadets gave an ex-
hibition drill on the new high school
grounds and passed inspection by the
adjutant and governor.
| The boys made splendid showing.
Their drill was perfect; Captain Patch
was in charge and did credit to him
self and company The high school
cadet band led the procession to the
grounds and played splendidly. Their
music had no small part in the sue
cess of the days program After the
drill and inspection Governor Davis in
an eloquent manner gave talk to the
high school boys that was certainly
worth while. His subject was based
on self experience, and the advice Civ
en- to the boys was the very best we
have ever heard Adjutant General
Wilson was then introduced by Pro-
fessor Turner and spoke in the high
est of terms of the high school ca
dets and expressed himself as favor
ing military training and the pos
sible needs of government prepared
ness substantiating his views by cit
ing to our condition when entering the
European war. After a few hours re-
cess in the days program, fully one
hundred and fifty members Of the
Payette County Commercial club
gathered at the dinning room of the
d, to paIticipate In banquet and

Eenterane tie rom the crowd was a y
frented with three large tables beau
tifully decorated and everything in
readiness for a first-class banquet
which was prepared by the Payette
high school domestic science class
and to omit word of praise for the
splendid manner in which these young
ladies conducted this part of the pro-
gram would be to say the least a
breach on our part in this mention 1t
was simply grand, and this branch of
the Payette school should be given due
credit for the splendid work they are
doing. During the banquet hour pro-
fessor Nelson and his cadet glae club
rendered several selections which GER
tainly made a hit and were free in
responding to frequent encores. Pros
ecuting Attorney R. E. Haynes was
toast master of the evening and after
making few remarks presented Adj
jutant General Wilson who again ad->
dressed the audience IN a very pleas
ing manner, referring to 16 year.,
ago when he was a resident of Pay
ette. Mr.. Wilson has many friends
who well remember him during that
time. The crowning event of the en-
tire day was the speech by Governor
Davis at this banquet 1t was the
pleasure of those present to listen
to the governor outline what is with
out any question most complete plan
of state government which is being
put into effect under his governor
ship. 1t plainly shows that Governor
Davis is thorough business man, and
believes in conducting the affairs of
the state on sound business principles,
and we are confident that two years.
hence the affairs of the state of Ida
no will be in on a cleaner and more
businesslike and economical basis
than eevr before.
During the afternoon, Mr.. O. A.
Walling kindly took our guests of
honor together with several of our
representative citizen out over the
Payette heights and surrounding
country returning in the evening in
time for the banquet and smoker.
