BLACK CANYON
DAM TO Be BUILT

Last Saturday the farmers of the
.mmett Irrigation District decided
he question OF building the Black
yanyon Dam u few miles up the Pay
ltte River from Emmett. The que3
ion envolved in Saturdays election
vas whether the land owners of the
district would accept the loan by the
Government for 20 years without
interest, to build the dam, and aban-
lon the canal through the canyon
)eyond the damsight. The votes
asst at this election was 400 for and
? against and it is believed the two
Tho voted against the proposition
lid so by mistake. If we understand
t correctly, by the building of this
lam a large portion of desert land
ying south OF Fruitland and New
plymouth will be brought under
Eater. This will add greatly to the
,alue OF Payette County. and as the
;reater part of the land to be water
ID lies contiguous to New Plymouth,
Jew Plymouth will undoubtedly re-
eive the greatest benefit.

of another man by suggesting the

$4,000 CAR DESTROYED BY FIRE

Mr.. H. H. Precht met with quite
loss last Monday afternoon when
his Nash car was totally destroyed
by fire. Mr.. Precht had driven to
his ten acre tract two miles north of
town that morning and after eating
his lunch, lit his pipe for smoke
while taking a rest in the car which
was standing in an old shed which
was perhaps the cause of the fire.
Mr.. Precht had been in the field at
work but few minutes when he
was notified of the fire by near
neighbor. There was no>qpportunity
to save the car as the building was
in a sheet of flames by the time he
arrived. The car was practically
new and worth perhaps $4,000 with
no insurance.

IR. AND MRS. BRAINARD
RETURN, GIVE REPORT
OF CONDITIONS EAST

MI. and Mrs. e. C. S. Brainard re,
turned from their eastern trip last
Saturday evening. They drove by
auto from Payette to Pocatello where
Mrs. Brainard remained for visit
with their son, Mr. Brainard going
on to Detroit, Michigan, where he
successfully transacted some legal
matters for the First National Bank
of this place. Mr.. Barnard reports
business conditions in the east some
what improving, but all fruit east of
the Rocky Mountains will be practi
cally a total failure.
Mr.. Brainard returned by way of
Denver and stopped off at Grand
Junction, Colo, on some business
matters arriving there Sunday, April
%, in regular blizzard which fol-
lowed a killing freeze the day before.
The trees were broken down under
the load or ice and snow, and all
fruit in that section reported as a
total failure for this year. While
east Mr.. Brainard met several heavy
fruit buyers who stated they would
have to come to the Pacific North.

apples.

the final breakdown came he went
his way through life with rare en-
ergy and unfailing cheerfuIness. To
him life was but an opportunity for
good deeds, right living and right
thinking. He lived his religion day
by day and year by year. His faith
was serene and as simple as that of
a child. So that when he realized
that his end was near he accepted it
calmly and with no need of prepare,
ton. He bore his suffering with,
out complaint and passed into the
presence of his maker as confidently
as he had lived-a kind and loving
husband and father, good neighbol'
and true friend, in every sense of
the word a Christian gentleman,

Arthur Johnston of the Payette
Steam Laundry, and wife, in COM
pany with E. A. Wheeler and wife of
Caldwell, and T. J. Fisher and wife
of Weiser, who are also in the laun-
dry business, drove to Emmett
Sunday and were dinner guests at
the home of E. A. Mckay, laundry
man OF that city. While in the upper
part of the Valley they visited much
of the fruit section and report con-
siderable damage to peaches and
cherries, except in some localities
where smudge pots were used, but
say, the apple crop will be fairly good
barring any, further freezing.

THE LATEST STORY
ON THE FORD?

We have heard many stories about
the Ford car, but the best we know
of up-to-date, we get from w. A.
Drinkwine of Little Willow. Last
Sunday afternoon he came to Pay
ette- with his family, in the Ford, and
on his way home noticed the car was
not working just right and stopped
to make investigation. On raising
up the hood, found the carborater
gone, he just drove on to the first
farm house where he procured a
corn cob, punched the peth out and
in few minutes had another one
made and fastened on with piece
of barbed wire, and now declares
his car runs better than it ever did.

Hints for the June
Gardener

I'm June the little gardener turns
his attention to the training of his
sweet peas. Tall thin sticks should
; be thrust firmly into the ground
and the tender vines twisted gently
around them. All climbing plants
must have support Nasturtiums are
very pretty when they are twined
about an old tree stump, but be care
full that your stump is not in the shade
for these bright flowers thrive only in
the sunshine.
Be sure to protect your rose bushes
from the green fly. The leaves OF the
bushes should be washed to remove
any traces of the fly, and the ground
should be kept moist at the root OF
the bush. Soft water is always the
best for flowers. If you have only
hard water near your house. fill a
bucket In the morning and let it stand
in the sun, this will soften it, and the
flowers will thrive better under this
treatment. If your flowers are on a
hillside and the water rolls down the

hole, but a square one can be made

to be used, then 1t will be square.
