WILL PAYETTE
CONTINUE To
IMPROVE

Next Monday will decide one OF
the most important propositions
ever brought before the people OF
Payette. Monday is the day when
you will have the opportunity to
cast your vote for or against the
future welfare of Payette. Payette
has grown and kept pace with other
A ties in every advancement with
the exception of paving the main
business street and that matter will
be decided Monday at the Bond Elec-
tion and the amount involved is SO
small il would seem almost incredit~
able that any one should cast vote
against the much needed improve
ment. Ii has been brought to our
attention that some are laboring
under the false impression that the
amount involved in the bond issue
is to cover the entire expense of the
pavement to be laid, this is a mistak
en- idea The bond issue is only TO:
the amount necessary to pave the
street intersections, or plainly
speaking the five squares on the
street corners in the section to be
paved and the remainder of the paw.
ing which is the greater portion will
be assessed against the abutting
property. That the people who are
interested in this matter may know
clearly the amount and where paw
ing is to be laid, we will state from
the Baptist church north on Eighth
street to the City Hall, and from the
Passenger Depot east to Eighth st.
Every person qualified to vote It
Mondays election who is anxious to
see Payette advance and continue to
be a desirable city should cast their
vote in favor of the bond issue, the
expence involved is so small in CON-
parison with the improvement no
one can afford to vote against it.
But you must remember, you arc
required to- register at the City
Clerks office for this particular
election. Registering for the city
election last month will not qualify
you to vote at the Bnd Election.
Anyne who is a tax payer, (including
both husband and wife and thse pay
ing taxes on personal property arc
eligible to register and vote at this
election. The time of registration
expires Saturday evening.

LOOKS LIKE
SOMETHING DOING
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS

We don't know just what has been
going on in the oil and gas move
ment in Payette this week, but we
imagine something is brewing. We
noticed Colonel Patch, John R
Mckinney, NJ. F. Albert, DR.. Alvey
and w. A. Bartlett escorting a num-
ber of capitalistic looking strangers
around our local gas wells this week,
and said that there was nothing to
worry about, and that the frost
situation wasn't nearly as bad as it
might be. If it wasn't against the
law to bet, we'd wager the band off
from a five-cent cigar that there will
be something popping around here
before very long.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Memorial Day is again drawing
near, that day when this great ma
tion of ours will pause for a moment
in its advance in the worlds affairs
to pay its solemn and reyerential tri.
butte to those who gave their lives in
its service, and those who since have
grown weary and dropped their bur-
dens by the wayside of life, and have
gone to their eternal reward.
The John Webster Rhoads Post of
the American Legion, at the special
request of comrades of the great
Civil War, is making arrangements
to oberve Memorial Day in fitting
manner and thus endeavor to make
it a day long to be remembered in
the annals of our city affairs. To
do this there must be the undivided
support and cooperation of all so,
cieties and organizations in the city.
Although it is yet early, we desire
that all details be arranged for, so
that when the zero hour is announc-
ed our forces may go over the Top"
to a successful fulfillment of our
program.
As the little children add a certain
reverance and beauty to the cere-
monies not gained otherwise, we do
respectfully request that all Sunday
Schools in the city arrange to have
as many as possible in the parade,
each one carrying a small flag.
We wish also to invite all socie-
ties and organizations to participate
with US by attending in bodies and
marching in the parade, we hope to
overlook none in our request.
The complete program will be an
nounced and published later, it of
course will consist of special music.
readings. the usual grafton and the
decoration of graves and ceremonies
in honor of our unknown dead.
Do not forget the movie FLASHES
in Action" at the Emma Theatre,
Tuesday and Wednesday, May IT and
is, a special matinee on Tuesday af-
ternoon for the young people, at
4:10. This is the film that is at
tracing so much attention among
Idaho people for the reason that
many Idaho boys are shown in action
in France. OF course we do not
overlook the fast that Payette Coun.
ty is we'll represented, as many boys
from here are in the outfits shown.

away a Chinese Dog robe valued at

the rober, but says if the party who

which was in the same box with the
robe, just a little further down.

GLEE CLUB GIVE
GOOD ENTERTAINMENT

The annual "Operetta" staged by
the Hgih School Glee Club Monday
evening on the Center school ground
drew ne of the largest crowds that
the people of Payette has witnessed
in a long time. The program was
well rendered and must have re-
quired considerable preparation.
Miss Sanders, who was in charge is
certainly deserving Of much credit.
While the program was excellent and
those who took part showed splen,
did talent, the entertainment would
have been better appreciated if
some in the audience, and especially
few boys at the back had shown a
little more respect by allowing
those who took part in the program
to furnish the noise.
