GUN MAN

The police court was the scene of
another trial for u~nwarranted gun
packing Tuesday, when Jim Timber
lake, a young colored gentleman,
faced tie police justice and answered
a charge Of carrying concealed
weapons. The accused offered a
novel excuse for toting a blue scour-
age, so novel as to elicit the praise
Of His Honor. although it didn't ex-
empt him from getting the regular
$50 and costs.
Defendant said that he loaned an
other gent SIS on the gun in a COON
can game and that since coming into
its possession he had not had time
to put it safely way. Another wit
ness, who really played the part OF
informer, as 1t turned out, spilled
the beans by telling an altogether
different story. which got him in 80
bad that he left town during the
night.

WILD WEST SHOW

There was a meeting called at the
city hall last evening for the purpose
OF getting preliminaries under way
for a Wild West show which 1t Is pro-
posed to hold here in the near flu

were so many counter attractions the
meeting did not materialize.
A subscription list has been cir
culated among the business houses
and 1t is given out that a sufficient
total has been subscribed to put the
show owe in good shape and award
prizes for Wild West events which
will attract some of the best horses
and riders in this section of the

. STOLEN FLOP COSTS O..
ONE MAN TEN DOLLARS

Robert Pattee, a young working
man, was before Police Justice Dun
lap yesterday upon complaint of the
landlady of the Rawlins rooming
house, who testified that she found
him in one Of her rooms when clean
ing out rubbish Wednesday morning.
He was sleeping soundly, and when
asked how he got there without reg
istration or the Formally of crossing
her palm with silver, he said that a
fellow who was about to depart for
Rock Springs told him to go up to
this particular room and go to bed,
az he, the mar Rock Springs bound,
would not need the room.
When aroused and asked for the
price of the it was in evidence
that Pattee became real uppish and
sassy, so the landlady called the
police. The charge was made vag-
rancy and Pattee was allowed to tell
his story. which he did in a hating,
yet convincing manner. He told OF
the different jobs he had held local
Iy and of being flat broke, but about
to go to work coal mining, but also,
he talked too much. Just as he was
getting along famously and was about
to be turned loose. the court asked
him If he was minded to pay for the
nights lodging which he had
mooched. He replied that he hated
to do so latter all this holler and
trouble" He vas thereupon fined
$40 and led away to Jail = not the
first man by any al that talked
himself in.

GOOD REPORTS FROM

Mr.. and Mrs. D. W. Ainey returned
Friday evening from Long Valley
where Mr.. Ainey has been for several
weeks arranging packing houses and
making preparations for shipping the
Denney & Cos. lettuce crop. Mrs.
Ainey has been spending part OF the
time at the Payette Lakes. From
Mr.. Ainy's report of the lettuce crop
and the condition in general in Long
Valley. that section of Idaho is flour
ishing beyond a doubt, besides the ex-
cellent fields of grain, hay and stock
raising, the production of head let
tuce has added another profitable in
dustry which promises to be one OF
the coming crops. The climate and
soil seems to be particularly adapted
to production of head lettuce.
Denney & Co. now have five pack
ing houses at various places in the
valley for the handling of lettuce
which is now just nicely begun, so
far ls cars have been shipped out
from that section with the expecta-
tion that at least $50 more cars VIII
follow by the end of the season.

IF IT'S TRUE, IT'S A BIG ONE,
IF 1T ISS'T, IT'S A LIE

It has been our custom to give pub
licity to every freak story, sometimes
its hen layed two eggs in one day,
a calf with five legs, or gallon of
Strawberries picked from one hill,
but we are confronted with real
"bean" story or the sruth tore in two,
and we are more inclined to believe
the latter. However the story doesn't t
come direct from the grower Of the
said bean, or we might give more
credit to the yarn, it was told from
behind the bars at the postoffice by
the round face, blue-eyed guy with a
pair of twin boys, who claimed to
have seen a bean pod growing in the
garden at the Charlie Nusman home
on the west side, that measured 30
inches in length, five inches in diane
ter, and he beIieyd would weigh ten
pounds, and still growing.
If a man under normal conditions
could face the Enterprise reporter
with a hot air story like the above,
what in thunder would happen if he
were to swallow one of these pods.

WHEAT MAY
PROVE VALUABLE
FARMERS MAY SOOS
PRODUCE 100 BUSHELS OF
WHEAT To THE ACRE

Mr.. ]. H. Davis, manager of the
Payette Mills, was exhibiting on the
street this week sample of wheat
that is vastly different from any we
have ever seen, and is likely to refo-
lutionize the wheat industry within a
few years. This sample of wheat has
a history that reads more or less like
fiction. About two years ago, Mr.. D.
R. Jensen who came to Payette and
for awhile was engaged in the real
estate business, brought with him a
small vile of wheat procured by Mr.
Jenson from party who eight years
ago was exploring a deserted section
in Old Mexico and found in an under
ground cave among lot of other
ancient articles, an earthern jar filled
with wheat, the kernels being about
double the size of ordinary wheat,
Mr.. Davis being deeply interested
procured from Mr.. Jenson 21 kernels
which were planted last spring in the
Charley Lintner place on North Sixth
street, 19 of the kernels terminating
and matured into ripe grain last
week, the heads measuring from )
to inches in length, lightly bearded
and fully double in diameter of Ordi-!
nary wheat and produced 27 grams
of wheat of most excellent quality.
Mr.. Davis estimates 1928 crop from
the 27 grams at 20 bushels and the
following year 1000. Mr.. Davis is
also confident the wheat contains
high gluten and low in moisture and
will prove to be an excellent quality
for flour wheat, and will produce
fully double in yield to that OF any
other variety. Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Lintner, head-miller at the Payatte
Mills, are taking good care of their
crop and will follow
up planting with the best of care be-
lieying they have something that
will revolutionize the wheat industry.

TENT CATERPILLAR MAKING
HIS APPEARANCE

1t has been brought to our attent-
ion that the Tent Caterpillar is be-
coming quite prominent in this locali-
ty, and unless exterminated is liable
to cause much damage to both shade
and fruit trees. The pests are at the
present found more exclusively on
Carolina Poplars, making large webs
or nests, similar to a mass of spider
webs, each net containing several
hundred fuzzy worms about two
inches long which feed on the foliagS
until matured when they go into
cacoon and later appear in the form
of a miller rotating in the same man
ner as the Codling Moth, the nests.
of the pest can be plainly seen at
distance and are easily exterminated
il taken in time, every nest should be
destroyed by cutting the limb and the
nest burned. This should be done in
the middle of the day when the
worms are in hiding, as they are US
ually out feeding on the foliage in
the cool of the evening and during the
night. This matter should not be
treated as idle talk but given imme-
diate attention. All orchard pests
have a beginning and might have
been exterminated at one time if the
matter had been attended to in time.

CATFISH PLANTED
IN PAYETTE RIVER

I After four years of faithful efforts
on the part of Mr.. Z. A. Blair and
Ralph Roberts, working thru the
State Game Department, shipment
of two large cans of Channel Catfish,
skipped from Bozeman, Mont, was
F.. received Wednesday morning at the
Payette depot by Mr.sBlair and plant
ed in the Payette river, one can near
the Payette Mills bridge and the other
at the Fruitland bridge, each can
contained, an estimate of $50 minows
about two inches long. The Channel
Get is rapid multiplier and within
four years the waters of the Payette
should be well stocked with fish that
are equal to the meuntain trout in
quality, and attain a very large size.
State Game Warden Otto Jones
passed through Payette on the same
train delivering the fish, to see that
they were properly Received by Mr..
Blair.

companied by Miss Ballenger, and
Mr.. B. L. Wells drove up to spend the
weekend in the cool of the big pines,

cool part either, but were somewhat
surprised to find ourselves located in
little tent village of principally Pay
cite people, about twenty-five fam
lilies were represented, all living in
comfortable tent homes visiting back
and forth all forgetting the cares of
home and business and enjoying
real rest and the comforts that can be
only found in spot like this where
nature has provided everything re-
quired, excepting the necessities fur
nished by the proprietors of the camp
even to a cork screw and lemon
squeeker.
A party of the Payette people
Keith. Dick Ensign, Hosie Shafer,
Leo Ballenger, and Charlie Chump
had just returned to camp, after a
several days trip to Loon Lake fifty
miles beyond the Payette Lakes. 60
ing as far as the roads would permit
on motorcycles and from there with
a pack outfit. They had no series of
events in an epic or dramatic poem,
fiction or fable to relate, but the real
evidence, facts beyond question, fish
in size and quantity as full proof of
their success.
The outing season will soon be
over at this beautiful camp. but so
far it is in full blast, people coming |
and people going, all the time, and
all are we'll treated and leave with a
good taste in their mouth for more |
Of the same kind of outdoor life !

on a larger scale and perhaps some
new amusements for the people who |
spend their vacation at Lake View !

CAR GOES INTO wAsHoE SLOUGH

L. v Stewart and G. P. Lattig ex-
perieneed a slight automobile acci-
dent last Tuesday evening on return
ing to Ravstte that might have been
far, more serious. They were re-
turning over the Washoe road in Mr..
Stewards car and in coming down
the hill just south or the Rex Spray
factory Mr.. Stewart applied the
brakes which seemed to grab TO
severe and refuse to release causing
the rear wheels to skid throwing the
car from one side Of the road to the
other and the steering wheel to
break loose from the shaft, rendering
Mr. Stewart helpless in controlling
the car which went over the grade Oh
its side in the pond. Mr.. Lattig re-
ceived a severe cut on his ear from
the broken glass requiring several
stitches in dressing the wound, no
other injuries were received by the
occupants of the car. Other than
one fender slightly bent and the wind
shield broken and the top somewhat
disloeated the car was not damaged.
