TO ENSTALL SIRENE
FIRE ALARM

The city council have recently pur-
chased throught the Payette Electric
Co. a large siren fire alarm which
will arrive here within the next week
or ten days. 1t will be installed at
the city hall and will be operated
from the Telephone Central Office.
A siren alarm is far more effective
than a bell as the sound will carry
much farther and can not be mis-
taken for any other alarm. An eI-
tension ladder will also be added to
the equipment. The fire company
are assisting in the payment of this
new equipment from the receipts OF
the recent firemen's ball held at the
pavilion.

EDITORS MOTHER
CALLED BEYOND
MRS. ALEXANDER WELLS.

Payette has again been saddened
by the passing of one OF its Oldest
and most respected residents, MIS-
Alexander Wells. Her spirit passed
to the great beyond late Thursday af-
ternoon, March End. at the age OF
79 years, five months, closing long
and useful Christian life. She is
| gone, but the influence Of her low
| ing disposition, kindly deeds. and
| true Christian principles, still lives
In the hearts and minds of many
| friends and descendants.
The deceased was born near
Scheffield, England, and came with
her parents to Moline, Ill, when
she was seven years old. Sixty years
ago she was married in Illinois to
Alexander Wells, a pastor of the
Christian Church who filled many
pulpits in Illinois and Iowa. They
moved to Payette from Iowa 2Z
years ago, where Mr.. Wells con-
tinued his Christian work, frequent
ly assisting other pastors by filling
their pulpits, always assisted by his
ever-willing wife and helpmate. The
Reverend Wells passed away here on
Oct. End. 1914, leaving a bereaved
widow and three stalwart sons who
have ably carried on the work he so
well started.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Christian Church, Sunday after
noon, the church was crowded with
those who came to pay their last re-
spects TO one who has been generally
loved and respected by all. Rev. !
Move preached touching sermon, |
and emphasized the value and use
fulness of a true Christian life such /
as was lived by the deceased who had I
been faithful member OF the church |
for so years. His words gave COM
fort solace to the mourners, that the
deceased has now passed to her
Greater Reward.
Mrs. Wells is survived by three
sons, six grandchildren, and 5 great
grandchildren. Her surviving sons
are: B. l.. Wells, who conducts an
orchard east OF Payette, William
Wells, Editor of the Enterprise; and
Sterling Wells, prosperous real
estate dealer Of Schaller Iowa. The
latter arrived in Payette in time to
attend his mothers funeral.
by their fruits. ye shall know
them.
In addition to the above article
written by Mr.. Bartlett who kindly
gave his assistance during our abb
Sence from the office, the Editor de-
5ires to add a few words-the last
sad rights of a dear mother.
1t has been our privilege for more
than a half century to live in the
same community and to know al
most every thought and act of the
mother we have just lain to rest.
Her life was one of devotion to
others, almost her last words were
'rpressing her wishes that those {
,boUt her be made comfortable In {
I'll her life we cannot recall one
larsh word. II is a sad thought
hat she has gone forever from this :
world, but consoling thought that !
or more than so years she has lived /,
/ true Christian life and that she |
vas permitted to live so rong and to
10 so much good. While it brings
to our hearts, we rejoice d
hat her earthly sufferings are done .
md that she has gone to reap the =
ewards. We wish to express our l
;ratitude to the many friends for the /
words OF sympathy and other kind |
less extended to us during our sad !
bereavement.

.FRUIT PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD

February and so far in March has
been the coldest for many years,
Tuesday morning the ground was
covered with snow but disappeared
before night. 1t has been the ex-
perience of those who have lived
here for some time, that March first
usually brings green grass, but so
far this year there is considerable
frost in the ground, however this is
considered favorable for good
fruit crop and the growers are most
Of them pruning with the expecta.
tions of a bumper crop. With the
prospects of an increased demand for
export fruit, it is the opinion of
jobbers and shippers, that the price
will be good for 1922.

might be found at Payette. II com
pares the gas found here WITH the
gasses found in the MID-CONTI-

Dear Sir:
l am enclosing herewith analysis
of gas from Payette, Idaho. This
is the sample you mailed the Bureau
of Mines January 3Oth, 1922.
This gas appears to be very much
the same as the ordinary natural gas
in that the Methane content is very
high and the Ethane content very
low. The B T U value of the gas is
about the same as ordinary dry gas
from the Mid-continent field.
Yours very truly,

Choose Occupation Carefully.


When you have found your place,
you will know 1t, and everybody else
will know it. There will be no doubt
about it. If you are where you belong,
you will be strong, resourceful, origi.
nal you will be contented and happy,
and at least comparatively successful.
Choose that occupation which will call
out the man In you, that which will de-
velop your greatest strength and sym.
metry of manhood, personal nobility.
Manhood is greater than wealth and
grander than fame. Personal nobility
is greater than any calling or any re-

The most important thing one can
