HOME TALENT
SHOW WAS GOOD

The Comedy put on at The Emma
Tuesday evening under the auspices
of the Civic Committee of the Portis.
Club was well patronized and during
the entertainment the applaus gave
evidence of the splendid manner in
which the young people carried out
their parts. Payette has some excel
lent talent among the younger class
both as comedy actors and singers.
All they need is little training to
make a better appearance than the
average travelling troupe. We believe
it would make hit to put on home
talent show more frequently. We
have not learned the amount of the
net proceeds but understand it was
a good amount.

Next Sunday morning the sermon
tonic will be Echoes from the World
Inter Church Conference just held
at Nampa.
This was a gathering of great sig
nificance. Men of national fame were
present and had large and important
things to present.
1t was the first time in the history
of the state of Idaho when the min
listers of all denominations got to-
gether.
Next Sunday evening we are ex-
pecting to have free illustrated lee
ture, having reference to conditions
in foreign lands.
The Ragan family has produced
one hundred preachers and DR.. Ollie
Ragan is not the least of these. Be
sure to hear him every time you
have an opportunity or can make an
opportunity.

DRAWS LARGE AUDIENCE

The Memorial services at the
Christian Church Sunday evening
drew a crowded house Every seat
was occupied and many were com.
pelled to stand. The program was
very nicely carried out as advertised.
General Patch's address was per-
'haps the crowning feature of the
evenings program. The solo by Miss
Ruby Landon and duet by Keller and
Anderson were good, all displaying
excellent voices. The poem by Miss
George was much enjoyed. The Pag-
cant scene by Mrs. Lester Albert and
daughter Ethelyn and Miss Hughes
was very impressive. The songs by
the children were well rendered and
plainly showed the excellent training
By their teacher.

BIG REAL
. ESTATE TRANSFER
RANCH CHANGES HANDS AFTER
52 YEARS IN THE PENCE
FAMILY

One of the largest real estate
transfers in this locality was that
of the Pence ranch consisting OF
1140 acres located at the mouth of
Big Willow creek, about eight miles
up the Payette river With this sale
one of the finest stock ranches in
Payette County has changed title
from the Pence family who have had
possession and held title for more
than So years. When Peter Pence

Icy bringing with him bunch of
cattle in the late summer of 1868 he
first located on this ranch by pur
chasing a squatters right from a
man by the name of Bill Hill on the
Sth day of August that year paying
him in gold dust amounting to $1400
This was the home of the Pence fam,
lily for many years including the time
when the Indians gave considerable
trouble to the early settlers. In the
fall of 1880 Mr.. Pence marketed q,
500 head of cattle driving them over
land to the state of Wyoming; and
the following year sold cattle amount
ing to SAT, 10000 when cattle were
selling at a very low price. Many
thousand head of cattle have since
been marketed from this historical
place which will probably always be
known as the Pence ranch. Several
years ago the title of this ranch
went into the hands of the two
Anger sons, Harry and Walter, who
Continued in the successful raising
of cattle and sheep until few
months ago, Harry selling his inter
est to Walter, who few days ago
sold the entire ranch to the Clinton
Sheep Company for the sum of s125,-
