1t is a strange coincidence that one of
the largest losses in the history of the
town should have occurred on what
was considered one of the very best
risks in town and enjoyed as low a rate
as almost any other piece of property
within the village limits. Equipped
with automatic sprinklers and alarm for
inside protection and with steel shutters
for protection from without, given every
attention that could be given on the
score of neatness, the Dewitt building
was, in fact, as good a fire risk as it
was humanity possible to make it, but
the sprinkler system, on which so
much reliance was placed, failed to
come through when needed. Why

A CLOSE CALL

Mr.. E. A. Blair had a close call last
Friday but escaped without a scratch
and after it was over and realizing
his narrow escape, declared the light
OF day never looked so good to him.
He was on his way to Buttermilk
Slough, intent on a few Black Bass,
and when near the railroad crossing
on Seventh Avenue North, slowed
down to watch train standing on
the main track headed toward the
crossing, but failed to see another
train pulling in on a side track com
ing from the other way, until he was
within few feet of the track, acting
on his first impulse, set the break
killing the engine of his car with
the front wheels between the rails.
Fortunately the encline rolled his
car back a few feet when the engine
struck the front end of his car push
ing it out of the way with but slight
damage. Mr.. Blair said he didn't!
hold any blame against the railroad
company, but thought they might
make good for the bucket of minnows
that were upset in the wreck.

VOCATIONAL INSTRUCTION

Mr.. Bird Finlayson of Pocatello,
representing the State Board for Vo-
cational Education, is here in Pay
ette this week, giving a course of
trade instruction to the retail lumber
men of Payette and adjoining towns
He also invites the contractors and
builders to attend the meetings which
are held at the office of the Boise
Payette Lumber Co. each evening
during this week except Saturday
evening. One of the principal OBJ
jects of the course is to educate the
retailer how to give accudate fig
ure in a lump sum for all material re-
Quired in erecting any building. This
will enable the prospective builder to
ascertain the exact cost in the same
manner as the ready cut system. His
course will be valuable to contract
ors in the method of figuring the
cost and material required.

VISITS HOME TOWN IN IOWA

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Madsen returned
the latter part of the week from a
visit with relatives in Missouri Val
ley, Iowa. They report a very pleas
ant trip, and particularly mention
attending tie 50th wedding anniver-
sary of Mr.. and Mrs A. E. Edge
comb, father and mother of Mrs.
Madsen, who for several years were
residents Of Payette, and quite well
known here. There were two hun
dred and fifty guests present, among
whom were one couple that had the
pleasure of being present at the
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgecomb,
fifty years ago, and the lady who
furnished the turkey for the we'd
ding dinner on that occasion, now
lives in Missouri Valley, but owing
to her advanced age, was unable to
be present.

A WORD OF PRECAUTIoy

We note number of houses with
dry leaves from the shade trees w
ing thick, piled up in the valleys, and
on porches, which is an ideal ou-
portunity for sparks from the Chin
ney to start fire. The old saying.
An ounce of preventative is better
than pound of cure" will well an
ply in this case. A few minutes
cleaning of the dry leaves, is better
than calling the fire department to
put out the fire.

DISTRICT JUDGE

Owing to the large volume oi
business in Canyon County Judge Ed
L. Bryan has spent much of the time
during the last two years holding
court there. For this reason, an
erroneous impression has gotten out
among some residents of Payette
County to the effect that the Sew
enth Judicial District has been
divided and that Judge Bryan is no
longer connected with IT.
The fact is the District has never
been changed. Judge Bryan's juris-
diction still extends over Payette
County. He is a candidate for re-
election and his name will appear on
the ticket in this County at the Nov
ember election.

a GOOD WORD FOR THE
PAYETTE CREAMERY

Clark Smith, a business man from
Nampa, has been in this locality on
business matters for the past week,
and incidently he has taken consider
able note of the manner in which the
Farmers Cooperative Creamery is be-
ing conducted and has no hesitancy
In saying 1t is by far the best con-
Quoted institution of its kind he has
seen. Mr.. Smith says that while the
creamery at Nampa is receiving
larger amount of butterfat at less
money per pound than is being paid
by the Payette creamery, the Pay
ette creamery shows more than
double the net profit. He also high
ly commended the detailed system of
bookkeeping in the Office of the Pay
cite creamery

DISCUSSES THE FEASIBILITY
OF CURB POST LIGHTING"

A very interesting meeting of the
: Kiwanis club was held last Tuesday
: noon. After listening to an excellent
{ vocal solo by. Kiwanian Move the
&. meeting was turned over to Kiwani-
, ans John D. Orr and DR.. 1. r. Wood
, ward who discussed the feasibility OF
Curb Post Lighting" for the City
: of Payette.

able information and its outline COW
\ cred four points why Payette needed
! this system of lighting.

and completed, which gives such a
! tremendous improvement in appear
ance, this improvement now can be
carried on to compile tion by the in
stailation OF this Curb Post installa-
ton, as the cable for the installation
was installed during the paving i'm

ing paid for, why not use it to the
best advantage.
End. The Curb Post System es-
sential from a seafsty stndpoint. More
than 250 automobiles were parked
on our Main street Saturday evening.
The present system OF lighting is not
sufficient to illuminate streets to
ward off hazard to pedestrians.
3rd. We have at present 400
candle power light in the curb light
ing district. The new installation as
proposed would give 21600 candle
power. The city is at present getting
candle power per dollar, the new
installation would give 10 candle
power per dollar, or 20 % more light
per dollar. The increase OF 1900
candle power in service would only
cost the city S145.S4 per month. If
this was proportioned to each bust
ness house it would cost approximate +
ly $3.50 per month.
S1he Idaho Power Company has of.
fered. to purchase the system and al /
low the city to pay for same on a
rental basis. Covering a period OF
ten years. p, The entire installation
could be installed for approximately
s35OO.00.
