WHEN THE CLOUDS RISE

Elsewhere in this issue we are
publishing the County Commission
ers' Proceedings which might be in
teresting to the tax payers of the
County, as well as some others who
seem to have a chronic case of sour
ed brains on the stomach. Among
other things the proceedings show
the total assessed valuation of all
property in the County, and also the
total levy given in detail so that the
tax payers can see clearly just what
they are getting for the money eX-
pended. The Commissioners have
been very conservative in creating
the levies for the different funds and
in no case could there have been any
changes and do justice to the people.
Read the commissioners Proceed
ings and get the facts. Don't listen
to every little breeze that blows.

BOY SERIOUSLY
HURT BY TRUCK

Gayland Lane, the 15-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Lane, and
messenger boy for the Western I'm
ion. met with a severe accident Tues
day afternoon when he was struck
while riding a bicycle, by a truck
driven by Roy Lamb, truck driver
for the Independent Transfer Com
pany. The accident occurred on the
street intersection near Rezac S
Drug Store about three O'Clock in
the afternoon. According to reports
given out by those who saw the ac-
cident, no one was particularly to
blame. The young lad was thrown
from his wheel and his right leg
caught under the hind wheel which
carried a solid rubber tire. The
brakes being set, the wheel skidded,
dragging the boy for a distance of
five or six feet, grinding his leg on
the pavement until the flesh was
ground off, leaving the bone COM
pletely bare from the ankle half
way to the knee. No bones were
broken, but part of the bone was
ground off on the pavement, and the
ankle mangled until the Joint water
was allowed to escape. He was taken
to his home where Drs. l. R. and
]. C. Woodward were called and are
making every effort possible to save
the foot. However, owing to the ma
ture of the wound, it is altogether
probable that he will never have
the proper use of the injured mem
ber.

BARREL APPLES
LEAVE PAYETTE

Until recent years apples from this
section have been shipped in stand
ard boxes. However, since Mr.. c. S.
Taggart, q prominent shipper, intro
duced the shipping in baskets, few
years ago, that method has been
largely adopted and seems to give ex-
cellent satisfaction. This year the
old method, long practiced in the
East, of shipping in barrels, is being
introduced in q small way by Denney
& Co., who shipped in car of knock
ed down barrels, and are sending out
a few car loads that will make the
Eastern barrel apples look rather in
ferior. 1t is: only an experiment from
this section, but the fine, we'll color
ed Jonathans look exceptionally fine
packed in that way.

POSSIBILITIES Of
PAYETTE COUNTY

/ Mr. Lawrence Suppy, who, two
years ago, worked out the report
on the oil and gas possibilities Of
Payette County, is stopping 1or q
few days in Payette to visit his old
friend, w. A. Bartlett, and to rest
up from an exhaustive trip through
Washington and Oregon, having
come over from Medford, Oregon,
via Crater Lake, klamath Falls,
Lakeyiew, Burns and Vale.
Mr. Suppy, who is of a conserva-
tive disposition, did not hesitate to
answer our question if Payette
County has any chance of discover
ing oil and gas in paying quantities,
by saying that such chances certain
ly exist, and that from a standpoint
Of land owners and business men or
the district, every effort should be
made to thoroughly test the field.
BY his statements, many oil fields
have been discovered in localities
less promising and often by mere
chance and after many disappoint-
ments. The Payette district, having
in many important regards, dis
tinctly different features from the
big geological province of which it
is a part, has not been worked over
enough as to form a positive opinion
about its true prospects and as to
the most logical drilling sites for
test and positive depths. Consider
able field work will have to be done
and proper attention given. to the
fact that in every country local con-
ditions vary to a great extent and
congratulations have to be avoided.
The question will have 70 be deter

tions; what the structural Conditions
are and what plan to follow in locat-
ing the test holes. The aspects of the
territory recommend from a+theoret-
ical as well as practical standpoint
closest investigation. g..
Mr.. suppy expresses himself as to
the Payette district being one OF
these fields where surprises can be-
very much looked for.
The benefits accruing from oil or.
gas fields in connection with the
knowledge gained as to the possibili-
ties of getting artesian water for gem.
eral and irrigation purposes, certain
ly are SO great that expenses for
geological investigation and for test
wells appear a trifling risk, if borne
by the whole community. Mr.. w. A.
Bartlett could have picked out a
much less promising field for his.
operations.
Mr.. Suppy will shortly leave for
the California oil fields.
