TWO WE|SER
BOYS DROWNED
IN SNAKE RIVER

A sad accident occurred last Sun
day morning about ten o'clock near
Weiser, when two young men, Ger
aid Evans and Howard Lee, both
about IT years of age, started from
Weiser to the Oregon side to visit
some friends. They were riding in
a Ford runabout driven by young
Evans and were near the center Of
the bridge when one of the front
wheels struck a plank which was
loose and stuck up above the others.
The car going at pretty fair rate of
speed plunged to one side and broke
through the railing into the deep
water carrying both occupants with it.
Mr.. J. Hancock a resident of that
section, was on the bridge at the
time of the accident having just met
the boys and hearing the crash in
time to turn and see them go into the
water Both came up and started to
swim toward a plank that fell from
the bridge but were unable to reach
1t. Mr.. Hancock rushed TO the oahk
with another plank in the hopes of
rendering assistance but both had
went down and never came up.
The news soon spread and search
ing parties gathered in an endeavor
to rescue the bodies but from the
last information with no success.
Howard Lee was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. S. H. Lee and Gerald was
the son of Mrs. Emma Evans. The
sad part of the tragedy is that Mrs.
Evans is now the only surviving mem
ber of her family. Fourteen years
ago the husband and two children, a
son IL, and a daughter, IA, were
drowned in the Snake river, while
Mrs. Evans was an eye witness, in
an endeavor to save them from the ,
river. Ii

CREAMERY JOINS
LARGE SALES
ORGANIZATION

: Mr.. and Mrs. J. r. Brown returned
last week from a two weeks trip into
California, they were supposed to bt
on a vacation, but from all reports
Mr.. Brown spent practically all of his
time on business matters pertaining
to the Farmers Cooperative Cream

He visited many creamery institu-
tions in the coast country, some that
were successful and some that were
not, gaining considerable informa-

Cooperative Co., at his place. was
being permitted to join the big Cali
fornia Dairy Sales Organization
known as the Butter Company of
Los Angeles, which last year did
over a million dollar business. In
this connection the creamery at Pay
ette has the distinction of being the
first in Idaho to join this large insti-
tuition which will in time mean more
than doubling its output. 1t also
means that all of the members of the
Payette Company will derive an ad-
vance of four cents per pound for
heir beutterfat, and reduce the over
head expence practically cents max
ng a total of six cents per pound ad-.
rance.
AS result of securing member
ship in the California Sales organi-
.ation the Payette Creamery will in
,rease its present capacity more than
louble at an expence of only $4,000,
" installing additional machinery of
he latest improved type, including
he Flash pasturizing system. This
ystem treats cream in 20 minutes,
While under the present system re-
Iuires two hours.
The Payette Creamery under the
Management of Mr.. Brown has grown
rom 400 members to 400 since 7
916, with increase in butter from
10000 pounds in 1916 to 100000
ounds which is estimated to be the
utput this year, besides $1,000 gal
ons of ice cream.

'KIWANIS ENJOYS
RARE TREAT

At the Tuesday noon luncheon the
| Kiwanis Club enjoyed rare good
treat in having as the speaker of the
day Mr.. Homer Hoisington, " Com
munity Man" and Boy Scout Master
from Sheridan, Wyoming. His sub
ject was MEMS Work in the Com
munity for the Boys of the Com
munity" He stressed the fact that
the man in the community who has
any leadership ability is under OBJ
legation to the boys of that COM
and that there is no better
way to develop men of character for
the next generation than for the men
of today to "get undern and help in
the development of the boys by join
ing in, fostering and encouraging
those activities in the community
that will result in the fully physical,
mental, moral and religious citizen OF
tomorrow Don't forget the boy in
the community today if you want
him to be a real man in the COM
munity tomorrow.

A WORD OF PRECAUTIoN

Not desiring to cause any undue
scare in the community, but as q
matter of precaution, we mention the
fact that it has been reported there
is now least one case of Small-pox
in Payette county, and one case re-
ported in Ontario. This desease is
easily combatted by vaccination, a
practice that has been followed for
the last half centuary with unques-
tionable success. 1t might be ad-
visable for parents who have child
rem that have not been vaccinated to
have the matter attended to. Note
the hundreds of cases in Denver,
Colo, at the present time.

Howard's Baby.

A little white rose in my garden grew
The finest one of all,
Twas kissed by the sun
Caressed by the dew,
Oh! little white rose in my garden
Obi little white rose twas you.
oh! little white rose of your mather's
heart,
Have you faded and gone away?
Has the gardener gathered any little
white rose
For his loveliest garden today.
Did he need one more blossom of
your size and hue
And was that the reason
The Gardener chose you,
Oh! little white rose, Of your moth
er's heart,
Have you faded and gone away.

tom WISE IN
/ THREE WISE FOOLS
From G. Z. Stacey

! When the theatrical history of thi:
generation is thoroughly digested and
written, there is one American come,
dy which will go down to immor
tality beyond a doubt. 1t is John
Golden's faVorite of all his sensa-
tional successes, Three Wise Fools
which he will present with Tom Wise
in the stellar role at the Wheaton
Theatre, Weiser, Idaho, Dec. 18th.
Golden is proud of his world re-
cord breaker, "Lightnin", satisfied
with THE First Year, keen about
his Turn to the Right, and happy
over the success of Dear Me-, but
he just loves the appealing comedy,
''Three Wise Fools, and why not?
1t is one of the biggest money win
ners in the history of the American
stage, and also one of the cleanest,
most wholesome and appealing stories
ever dramatized.

This YEAR is JUNIOR yEaR

The last period of every Friday is
given over to something aside from
the regular class work. The plan is
to fill the time in any manner which
is profitable and enjoyable to the
pupils.
Several speakers have generously
given of their time to bring inspiring
messages to the boys and girls.
Thus far three programs have been
rendered
The aim of these is not to display
exceptional ability but to give to all
a chance for the training which will
help them later to face audiences
either in the class room or from the
rostrum.

So closely have the big Eastern in

of the competition is frozen out OF

ing more than 100 points each in the
aggregate number of years in which
teams representing them have ap-
peared Such Southern teams as
John Hopkins. Washington and JEFF
ferson and Georgetown have never
competed to advantage.
Yale leads in the greatest number
of points scored, Harvard having at
tanned the largest number of cham
pionships by bolstering it's first places
with an overwhe Ginning lead in second
and third places. Harvard's total
now is TIT and Yale's is ISL. Cornell
which has been a consistent winner
in recent years, numbers 546, trailing
the university of Pennsylvania, which
has accumulated Gas.
Since 1896 Yale has won only three
times and Harvard twice, both insti-
buttons losing their mastery over the
event after more or less alternating
the championship for the 16 years
from 1880. Yale last won in 1904

was in 1909. Pennsylvania's triumph
