CLUB
MEETING
LITTLE ORPHANT ANNIE"

On Monday afternoon, Jan. 10th
at a meeting of the Portia Club ii
was unanimously decided to adopt
a Near East Orphan, who was then
and there christened Little Orphant
Annie" II will be necessary to raise
the sum of sixty dollars, this being
the amount required 10 keep one
orphan for one year. This money will
not be taken from the Club treasury
but will be raised by the members
in q unique and beautiful manner.
Each Club member has pledged
herself to serve one meal Of soup and
one of beans or some other simple.
inexpensive food, instead Of the usu-
al elaborate Sunday dinner and sup
per, which most housewives provide
on that day; and also lest we for
get" the why and wherefore Of our
fasting, a place is to be laid at the
table for the little absent guest, TO
whom our frugal meal" would seem
so luxurious, and who, for one whole
year will be blest by the fruits of
our small sacrifice; for the price of
our usual Sunday feast, minus the
cost of the soup and the beans, is to
be put into the "Orphant Annie
Fund. Also every woman may, if
she so desire, invite a guest to share
her hospitality on this day. and it is
hoped that all such guests will place
a small donation in the little absen-
tees empty plate. Surely there is not
one among US who would not, for
gust one day, willingly forego the
pleasures of the table in order TO
accomplish so much. Just two scant
meals to be eaten by some of the
people OF Payette, that one starving
little one may be fed for a whole
year, may be given 1895 meals Just
like the two which to US will seem
so meager. But it is not only the
food that We shall be giving to some
hungry baby-perhaps no bigger
than yours or mine-it is also the
love which with the wonderful in
stinct of childhood our Little Or
phant Annie" will know that we are
sending to her across the sea. Portia
earnestly hopes that all the women
of Payette, whether they be Club
women or not, will, for this one day.
consider themselves as active mem
bers of the "Orphant Annie Club"
Who knows, perhaps We shall be
able to raise enough to adopt an
'Orphant Jimmie too.
All those who wish to take part in
this movement, are asked to bring or
send their contributions to the next
of Portia on Jan. cath. For
further information apply to Mrs. F.
H. Hogue, President of the Portia
Club

SHERIFF JEFFERIS
SPILLS THE BOOZE

Last Monday afternoon some of
our local has-bins shifted the air, and
like a bird dog in a stubble field, fol-
lowed the scent of an old familiar
smell, and after licking their chops
and wondering about for some time
to find where it was all coming
from. wound up at the Court House
with slobbers dripping off their
chin, just to have their fondest hopes
turned into everlasting despair
Right there before their eyes, a mix
ture of good old Budwiser, Moon
shine and some perfectly good whis-
key was streaming down the gutter
by the curb. where Sheriff Jefferis
was making a wholesale disposal of
40 bottles of beer and 65 gallons of
whiskey. It was a good place to take
on cheap drunk, as the atmosphere
was pretty thick. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Haynes was there to take a hand
in the job and was acting rather
jubilant for some reason or other.
OF course its his business to know
what they were dumping out.

DEDICATE NEW
HIGH SCHOOL

Payette's new High School build
ing is completed and was dedicated
and formally opened Thursday, Jan
13, 1921.
DR.. Bryan was to have made the
principal address on the occasion
but was storm bound in Northern
Idaho and failed to keep his appoint
ment.
) general Invitation had been eX
r. ded to all citizens OF the district
and patrons ald tax payers were es-
pecially urged to be present at the
dedicatory exercises, TO hear the
report of the Board of Education
and the Architect and builders and
to inspect the building whose cost
with equipment, was just around
100000. The said citizens, patrons
and tax payers responded with their
usual alacrity-that is they stayed
at home-went to the pool hall with
their hammers in hand-went to
the Movies" to be cheered up or
went some where else; any way they
showed no interest in the school, no
interest in their investment, and no
interest in the magnificent building
that would be the pride of more
enterprising and progressive city
All right! Observation-Disclosures
1t is a magnificent building. The
basement, in which are located the
D. S. rooms, the gymnasium, the fur
naces and ventillating fan, and the
manual training shops, is hign, dry,
pleasant and we'll lighted. On the
first floor are the offices, school
rooms and the assembly room. The
offices are commodious, pleasant
and convenient. The assembly room
is real gem, with a seating capa-
city of five hundred and every seat
fit for a reserved seat.
The second floor is occupied prin,
cipally by class rooms.
The building is heated by warm
air controlled by the Thermostadt
system which maintains a tempera-
ture within two degrees.
The ventillating is as near per-
feet as human knowledge can make
it and is controlled by electrically
driven fans.
The Board of Education, thru NJ.
F. Albert, assured us that the en-
tire building including heating and
plumbing was finished to the en-
tire satisfaction of the Board, as to
design, material and workmanship;
.and the president of the Board, in
the building, presented to
She architect, the contractor and the
teveral builders testimonials to that
effect. So the taxpayers have this as
surance that if they have paid
good price they are getting good
article. Much credit was given to
Prof. Turner for his interest and eff
ficiency in bringing this enterprise
to so successful a finish.

COMBINE ON OIL
DEVELOP PMENT

Another Oil and Gas development
plan is being floated in this distric
which includes the whole Snake
River Valley from Nyssa to Weisel
and promises the drilling Of foul
wells during the next twelve months
Local companies have been form
ed by the leading business men and
bankers Of Ontario, Weiser and Pay.
cite, and leases taken and drilling
planned by each of these three
communities, besides other com
panies which are now operating in
the Boise Valley and Horseshoe
Bend district; but the new organiza-
tion now being floated plans to
unite the towns Of this district in a
cooperative drilling company, and
has asked each local company to
turn over at least 1000 acres of
leases under an agreement that one
we'll will be drilled on approved oil
structures near each town.
II has been pointed out that IN
der present conditions it is more
economical 70 use the same drilling
equipment for the four wells, in
stead of each community buying
and operating its own rig. The geo
logical work which has been done
in each district, some of which has
been done in each district, some of
which has been done by some of the
most eminent geologists of the coun-
try, can be combined and used to
advantage by the co operative COM
pany.
The movement -as started by J.
H. YoUnken, an experienced oil op-
orator of Oklahoma and Montana,
who made very careful examina-
tion OF this district and is very en-
thusiastic over the prospects OF de-
veloping large oil and gas resources
here.
During the last two weeks four
meetings were held in Ontario, Pay
cite and Weiser, at which all three
towns were represented. and at
which a definite plan was worked
out so that each community would
get its equal representation in the
of the company and
the drilling Of wells.
The company. to be known as the
Valley Oil & Gas Company, will be
incorporated for s256.00O with a
par value Of 25c a share and will
raise 100000 by the sale of stock
to finance the first four wells. This
will be done on the installment plan,
the subscriber paying 20cc as soon
as the entire 100000 has been sub
scribed, and the last four 2OPc sub
scriptions being payable as soon as
each well is commenced. The COM
pany promises that there will be no
promotion stock, and If operations
are not begun by the company, the
first subscription will be returned
to the subscriber.
Among those who are taking an
active interest in the company are:
Nessrs. Homan and Taggert of On
tario, Messrs. Wolf and Bradford of
Weiser, and Messrs. l. r. Woodward
and W. H. Farber of Payette. Form
er State Mine Inspector Robert y.
Bell came down from Boise for the
last meeting and gave it his hearty
cooperation.
