CONTRACT
IS COMPLETED

The contract for the paving of 8th
Street and First Avenue North, was
completed Wednesday afternoon, and
we can say without fear Of contra
diction, that every property owner ef-
fected by the paving, and every citi-
zen who is interested in the building
up of Payette, is more than satisfied
with the work done by Mr.. Charles
HeImer. Contractor. Besides doing
an excellent job, Mr. Helmer, his Su-
perintendent, Mr.. Duhlke and Engi-
neer, Mr.. Scarf, have made many fri
ends among the people of Payettesln
fact all the workers on the job have
been very pleasant and courteous,
and we hope they will be the success

paving OF the main business street

now that it is completed even those

"BOONIERANGv

There are a few of the real = old
timers left in this community who
were citizens of the early days when
this place-then small village in
the vicinity where the Lamme prop
erty and the Vinegar Factory now
stands was called Boomerang
and it has been noised about that
Boomerang picnic should be held to
get the old timers together and re-
late some of the pioneer experience.
When we come to take an inventory
of the pioneers who were here be-
fore this place was called Payette,
we find a sufficient number to make
quite a gathering and it would GER
tainly be an interesting timsrThoss
days were vastly different from the
present time. Saloons were running
seven days in the week, twenty-four
hours in the day; red lights and the
gambling houses were run without
restraint. and shooting scrapes were
a frequent occurrence.
If the time was set, and the word
passed around there would be no
difficulty in getting the pioneers or
Boomerang together.
