TWO TRUCKS
HAVE COLLISION

The big Masters Truck belonging
to the Davidson Grocery Company of
Boise, loaded with merchandise, and
another truck of the same make and
size, loaded with flour, collided Mon
day morning on the State Highway
about a mile south of town. The
drivers attempted to pass on the
bridge over the logging slough just
south of the A. S. Worth place and
perhaps would have had no difficult
ty only for a large hook on the end
of a log chain projecting from the
Davidson truck which caught the
other truck, Jerking the two trucks
together, resulting in the scatter
ment of several cases of tomato cat
sup, picked beets, canned goods of
various kinds and two sacks of Eng
lish walnuts, all of which were strew
ed along the Highway aand run over
by the wheels for a distance of sew
eral rods Several sacks of flour on
the other truck were torn open and
spilled along the road. Had the acci-
dent happened near the school
ground the owner of the walnuts
would have had one heck of time. |

FITCH LANDS
A BOOTLEGGER

Last Thursday evening when the
west bound train pulled into the sta
tion at Payette, City Marshal S. NJ.
Fitch, being suspicious of a trunk
unIoaded at the baggage room, wait,
ed for the owner to appear. Mean
while Mr. Fitch called the Sheriff
who procured a search warranat and
arrived at the depot in time to find
the owner of the trunk, Mr.. Ed Haa-
son, who claimed to be from On
tario, in custody of Mr. Fitch. Mr..
Haason claimed the trunk did not
belong to him, but was checked by
him from Portland for another par
ty. However, a key in his possession
nicely opened the trunk which prov
ed to contain two five gallon kegs
of what is alleged to be moonshine
whiskey. Mr.. Haason and his bag
gage were taken to the county Jail
and the following day Haason was
upon the delivery of a cash
bond in the sum of $3.50 for his ap-
in court November nth.
The above article was prepared
for last weeks issue, but got mis-
laid in some manner. We can say at !
this time however, that the $4,000 /
cash bond was forfeited, Mr. HaasOn /
not appearing on the above date.

A WILD GOOSE FEED

We have heard of a wild goose
chase which is an expression general
ly used where failure to accomplish
a purpose has been realized. How
ever in this case it was a real wild
goose chase where two exceptionally
fine specimen were brought to town
last Sunday and on Tuesday evening
the hunters; Mr.. Rodgers, the bar
Der at the Elk Barber Shop. Mr..
Hanna of the Elk Cafe, John Banks,
Jr-, Stub Farson, and Printer Smith
accompanied by their wives and a
few their most intimate friends en-
joyed big. Roast Goose dinner at
the Elk Cafe. All of those who had
the privilege of attending the affair
say that the dinner was an elaborate
affair and viii certainly recommend
Mr. Hanna and his force to any who
may want anything of this kind.
The two geese which tipped the
scales at so pounds were both brot
down by "Smithy."

CITY COUNCIL
DOING THINGS

The Mayor and City Council are
now acting on an important PROPOSE
ton that has long been badly needed.
A storm sewer is being laid with
ample capacity to carry away all sur
face water from the main streets Of
Payette, and the work is being done
in a very substantial manner The
tile used are of large size, made by
the Valley Concrete Co. 1t is well
to have this done prior to any street
pavement which will undoubtedly be
done sometime in the future. Sur
face water caused by heavy rains
and especially meltin gsnow, has
heretofore caused much expense and
annoyance which will be eliminated
by this improvement. II will also i'm
prove the condition of the streets by
not allowing water to stand along
the curbing.

WETTEsT IN MANY YEARS

1t has been many years since the
people of this section have witness
ed so much rainy weather at this
time of the year. October was ex-
ceptionally rainy which greatly re-
tarded the fruit harvest So far
November has been the wettest in
many years. While the rain and mud
has been very dtsagreeable, it is
worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of this section. Too often
the orchards and alfalfa fields go
into the winter dry and as result
many of the fibrous roots die for the
want of moisture But where the
ground is well watered before the
surface freezes all growth is much
more vigorous the following year.

GREAT PLAY SCREENED. .

If there are left any who believe
that the screen is not CT Hble of
striking notes as true as stage
they should go to the Emma theatre
and see Pauline frederick in MA
dame X" Here is a play that is one
of the greatest of the past half CEN
tury.~ The situation developed is
almost too big. The sound of the
human voice was considered abso-
lutely necessary to its complete ex-
plortation but it is found that in the
movies there is, if anything, more
emotion stirred than there was on
the stage. 1t is a superb piece of
work on the screen and played by
great cast. Casson Ferguson as the
son, William Courtleigh as the hus
band. and many other players offer
great work and the star was never
seen to bette advantage,
Thursday and Friday, Dec. 2 and
8, at The Emma.

AUTO CAMP GROUND CLOSES

The Payette Auto Camp Ground
has been closed for the season, and
all equipment properly looked after.
The Camp Ground was nicely equip
ped while the Commercial Club was
in action largely through the efforts
of Mr.. r. C. Graft who was at that
time, Secretary of the Club, and who
at this time has enough interest in
the matter to see that all loose equip
ment was properly placed in the
buildings and under lock. During
the summer months Payette had the
distinction of having one of the fin
est Auto Camp Grounds in the North
west and it is hoped that when the
travelling season agaian opens the
matter will be taken up by some one,
or some organization and see that
the ground is again opened to the
travelling public.
