HOME GROWN PEANUTS

When it comes to producing vari-
Gus kinds of crops, Payette County IS
hard to excell. 1t has been genedally
understood the peanuts require a
long season and hot climate, which is
probably true. but the fact cannot be
overlooked that peanuts can be grown
here and if properly handled could be
done to profit.
Mr., T. B. Biggerstaff. who lives in
the northwest part of Payette pro-
duced this year quite quantity of
as fine quality of peanuts one would
wish to see. They are large, plump
and well matured and will equal any
grown IN the southern states.

EDITORS VISIT
POWER GO. PLANTS

While the Editor of the Enterprise
for business reasons, was deprived
of joining the band of Editors, some
25 or 80 in number, who by a special
invitation were given three days
trip of inspection last week by the
Idaho Power Co. TO their six gigantic
power plants along the Snake river
in Southern Idaho, we learn from
those who did accept the invitation.
that 1t was great revelation as we'll
as an educational trip to the News
paper men OF the territory covered by
the company.
There are but few who realize the
great magnitude of the operation OF
the idaho Power Co. who are at the
present time furnishing light and
power to every section of southern
Idaho and portions of eastern oregon
and also extending into the mining
districts of Nevada. or the millions
of dollars expended in the building OF
its plants. Through the service rem
dered By the above company, thou
sands of acres of sagebrush desert
has been transformed into beautiful
homes and productive lands.
Hundreds of homes are now equip-
ped with modern electrical conven-
iencs that are Indispensable.
The total combined horsepower Of
the six plants in southern Idaho is
approximately $4,000 serving 81
towns in Idaho, towns in Oregon,
s mining districts and 10 irrigation
districts.
The company have also plans for
additional dams at the cost of mill
lions of dollars, or an increase in ca!
pacity at the present plants that there.
may be no shortage for the future
needs in the development of the
country. The Idaho Power Com
pany have great faith in the future
for Idaho and are building according
ly.

there came to his ferryboat family
from Indiana moving to the newly
opened Five Corners Settlement. The
homcsteader asked the old ferryman
what kind of people lived down in
the Five Cornered Settlement. The
old ferryman answered with a ques-
ton, oval, what kind of people lived
back where you came from? "Aw,
they were a bad bunch" said the
homesteader, There wasn't a decent
neighbor within five miles. That is
why we left there" wal, am
afraid you are going to be disap-
pointed, said the ferryman, cause
you are going to find just the same
kind of people down at the Five
Corners"
Some days later another family err
gagged the ferrymans services ard
told him they were going to the Five
Corners Settlement. About the same
questions were exchanged and when
the ferryman asked him what kind
of people he left back in Ioway, the
old homeseeker's eyes filled with
tears as he said. 1--WE left the finest
people the sun ever shone on. There
wasn't man in that whole neighbor-
hood that wouldn't do me a favor. 1t
almost broke our hearts to leave them
but we had to seek better opportuni-
ties for our children" Wal, said the
old ferryman, don't you worry, cause
you are goin to find lust the same
kind of people down at Five Corners" p"
That is good philosophy. l wish It
might be the philosophy OF Payette
Kiwanis. If so, Payette will know
that new giant has come to town,
and we will Justify our existence in
the community,

a CAR OF CORN TO SEATTLE

Tho Idaho Canning Co. shipped
this vsek a $4,000 pound car of Yel-
10y Bantom corn to Seattle this week.
The car contained 1000 cases. The
corn put up by the Payette Cannery

tried it will have nothing else. This

WHAT THE WILMINGTON
MARRIAGE RECORD SHOWS

The records in the Office Of the clerk
OF the peace. at the Court House. here.
fail To substantiate the above report.
rs far as Wilmington is concerned
They do not show where Donald
Stewart married Mary Mitchell here
In 1918.
II the former preacher was married
here he must have used some other
name or IN some way managed 10
keep the marriage from becoming pub
lie.
Presbyterian ministers and laymen
here were asked today IL they knew
Stewart or the woman he is said 10
have marries here. but none knew him
or the woman. They thought If the
marriage took place here il merely
happened that they selected Whining
ton as the place in which 10 be mar
ried. Neither. probably. ever made
Wilmington their home.
