ORPHANS FIND A GOOD HOME

Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Landons have
rather mixed family OF pets attheir
home that is quite out of the ordin-
ary. A short time ago their little
Spitz dog became the mother of a
litter of puppies, and about the same
time the old cat produced a batch OF
kittens. The puppies were all sold,
and the mother cat died, leaving her
little orphans but a FEW days old, no
particular procedure of properly
adopting the motherless kittens was
had except the motherly effection of
the little Spitz who. had lost her
babies, but she yolunteerily took the
matter in hand and gave the kittens
a home and plenty to eat, the kittens
are doing fine and the union of the
two broken families is progressing
smoothly. OF course, the cats like
all bther children will have no
trouble in growing" but the .ques-
tion is, will they learn to bark?

THREE PEACHES. THREE POUNDS

The Editor is the most fortunate
guy in town he is first to receive all
the finest specimens of fruit and
vegetables grown in the valley, we
are always glad to receive them and
give them publicity as it is good ad-
vertisement for the country, and
create little strife among the people
to out-do the other fellow.
Last Saturday three Crawford
peaches were brought to this office
from the j. A. Mcmillan ranch that
beat anything for beauty and size,
each of them measuring liz inches
in circumference and each weighing
Just one pound. They were too
ripe to keep on. exhibition, but made
an elligent mixture with little
Jersey cream, at the Editors home
for Sunday dinner. Who's next?

BAD BAYS ARE NOT ALL
FROM SOME OTHER PLACE

There are evidently boys in this
town that are equal to any for right
down cussedness. 1t is perfectly
natural for boys to play tricks and
have little innocent fun, but to de-
liberately destroy property without
any cause is different proposition
and is stepping stone to the reform
school and the penitentiary.
Last Saturday night Ralph Far
ber's bicycle was taken from his
home, and found few days later on
a vacant lot in the adjoining block,
with the tires and seat entirely ruined
with a knife.

and have number of very fine pack
ing houses there.
They are plannig to make Payette
permanent location and expect 10
build large storage and packing
house here Immediately. This will
be of great value to the fruit growrs
here as the need of additional faeili-
ties to handle the rapidly increasing
tonnage in this district is very great.
A number of prominent local fruit
growers are affiliating themselves
with the Lambs in their organization
here.
Mr.. Lamb besides being President
ot The Lamb Fruit Co. is also Presi-
dent of three other companies in ire
Walla Walla Valley. These are the

PAYETTE
BOY IN SHOOTING

! August Nelson, nine year old sor
j of Mr.. and Mrs. John Marvin, was
shot by his IL year old brother
!, Samuel, this morning about nine
o'clock with 1886 caliber rifle,
the little boy passing away about
! fifteen minutes lated. Samuel later
admitted to shooting his brother
but stated he did not know the
gun was loaded.
| Samuel is under arrest awaiting
the result of Coroner Hal Boh-
nenkamp's inquest which will be
held this afternoon at the city hall.
Coroner Bohnenkemp's inyestiga-
ton, held this morning Immediate
ly following the little boys death,
disclosed that Mr. and Mrs. Mar
vim were at the barn about fifty
yards from the house at their home
in Fruitdale and that August was
playing just outside the barn. They
heard shot, approximately two
minutes after their entrance into
the barn and rushed to the house,
discovering the little fellow lying
in the doorway in a pool of blood
still alive but unable to speak De-
spite prompt medical aid his life
could not be saved.
Denies Act.
When questioned Samuel at. first
denied shooting his brother stating
that August 'had. shot himself while
playing with the gun. He stated
that he had been lying on the bed
when the shooting occurred. Later
in the day he admitted his part in
the act to Sheriff Lee Warwick, who
placed him under arrest.
The gun used, 25-35 caliber
Winchester difle, was standing I'M
the corner about ten feet from Au-i
gust when the parents reached thel
house and Samuel met them out
side the house with cries that "Au-l
gust has shot himself" The bull
let entered his right chest striking
a bone and splitting into two sec-;
tions, both of which imbedded in the
door casing. His loss of blood, pre- /!
ceding his death, was very great |
The gun was very close to his body |
as powder stains covered the front
of his shirt,
Thought Empty.
Samuel's statement made to the |
snerlff stated that he had thought
the gun empty and had pointed it !
at his brother, then pulling the trig-
ger No trouble between the two
boys had resulted and apparently |
SamuePs version is true.
The funeral arrangements have
not been announced.-Taken from a !
La Grande paper.
1t will be- remembered that about
August first, the two brothers mem
toned in the above article, were
taken in charge by Sheriff Jefferis
for petty thieving while the family
were living on the Fruitland Bench,
but for the reason of the age of the
youths, and the family ready to move
to La Grande it was thought best not
to bring about prosecution.

A NEW VARIETY OF PEACHES

AS peach stories are going the
rounds during this time of the year,
in this locality, where the finest
peaches grow that can be produced
in any country, we will not overlook
mentioning the crop grown on a
Seeding tree at the home Of Mrs.
Eliza Albert, which produced this
year several crates, or a sufficient
amount to make several crates OF a
separate and distinct variety that
are of excellent quality, they are
free stone, red cheek and of white
meat fair size and sweeter than any
peach we have ever tasted. We are
passing judgment on a sample left
at this office.

4 BEAUTY SPOT

The little park in the center of the
street by the o. S. L. passenger depot
is thing of beauty, and perhaps bur
few of the citizens of Payette know
that the beautifying of this little
spot was done as donation by Mr..
D. H. Snowberger, who had JUST
enough pride in his home town TO
make this donation of plants and
bulbs and labor in putting them out
and getting them well started. Mr..
Snowberger is reserving much credit
for his public spirit in the community.

SEVENTY TONS OF
COAL IN ONE CAR

There has been lot said regard
ing the shortage of coal, and without
any exageration, but when it does
come, it seems to come in big gobs.
The Van Petten Lumber Company
received Wednesday morning in one
of the new D. & R. G. steel cars, 70
tons of Aberdeen lump. The full
capacity of these new cars is 200 900
pounds. If the fruit growers could
secure refrigerators with equal ca
pacity, it would eliminate the car
shortage.
