THE STRANGER LEAVES TOWN

Friday morning following the An
nuaI meeting of the Payette Cham
Der of Commerce our reporter looked
up the Mysterious Stranger whose
actions have been so puzzeling for
the last two weeks. He was located
at the o. S. L, station just prior to
train time, he left on No. "a for the
East,
He expressed himself as entirely
satisfied with what he had seen and
heard and promised to see us again
as he was planning to locate in this
section.
When ask his opinion of the meet
ing he said, 81 was certainly pleased
to see the spirit of cooperation which
was manifested at the meeting and
the cordial manner in which the re-
firing President welcomed his sue
cessor. If the business men will give
their officers their whole hearted
support and stay by the financial
plan which has been worked out l
can see big things in the future for
Payette,". Just then the train pulled
into the station and the stranger
boarded it for some eastern point
which is unknown to us.

IDAHO FARMER
CROSSES WIRES

It is rather amusing to note an ar
ticle in the Idaho Farmer, under
date of Feb. End, under box-car
headline:
"Weiser Poultry Show" The
article goes on to say that the Weiser
Valley Poultry Show held at Payette
was a success in every particular and
that despite the extreme cold wealth
er, deep interest was manifest and
scores of men and women who were
interested in poultry raising attend
ed the show and lot of other things
said about what a fine showing of
splendid birds, etc., when the real
facts are fully 80 per cent of the
birds on exhibition and the prize
winners were from Payette County.
We do not want to be understood as
saying the poultry raisers of Welser
Valley could not put on perhaps as
good show as that put on by the
of Payette County, but
we do seriously object to this partic-
ular show being advertised as a
Weiser Valley show, when it was alb
put on, conducted and han
died by the Payette Valley Poultry
Association, under the auspices of
the Payette Chamber of Commerce.
The article further gives the names
of the prize winners as follows:
c. Z. Dible, j. D. Deal, w. Clay
ton, j. d. Baker, Mrs. L. G. Hooley, |
r. B. Thornton, Mrs. C. A. Petit, A. !
E. Flock, N. S. Felthouse, Park Poul- !

horst, A. r. Purvis, Walter Watts, |
Harve Bean, H. Gregory, A. ]. |

If the author of the above men /
toned article believes these people !
live in Weiser Valley, he must have
had an overdose of moonshine or ,
2ayette must be a suburb of the city |

STOCK AND MACHINERY
SELL AT GOOD PRICES

The public sale at the ]. w. Slick
ranch last Friday was the largest
attended of any public sale in the
history of the Valley, all property
bringing good prices. 1t was esti-
mated fully 14OO people attended
the sale, which amounted to about
$11, 100000. 1t was conducted by E.
w. Dunn of Payette, and Burt M.
Wilson of Idaho Falls. The actual
time in disposing of this property
was about four and a half hours. This
is the same pair of auctioneers that
handled a public sale for a friend of
Mrs. Slick in the eastern part of the
state four years ago which was
handled in about the same time and
amo;Sted to over S14,00O.OO.

IN
TRUCK TRANSPORTATIO

Ralph Walch OF Pocatello, was
here Monday and Tuesday in the
interest of the Idaho Truckmen's S
Association, which is at the present
time only partially organized and
which will probably be completed
some time in March. The object and
purpose of this organization is to in
crease the truck transportation of
freight throughout the state, and at
the same time give the public better
and quicker service. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Association to conduct
a truck route through the state
from Pocatella west establishing at
each town along the route, a central
station or depot where all freight
will he unloaded and received by the
eonsignee.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
REDUCE ASSESSED

AT a meeting of the board OF
County Commissioners with Asses
sor Bossen, for the purpose of fix
ing the assessed valuation of the diff
ferent classes of property over the
county an approximate reduction of
3 per cent was made on all property
including both city and farm proper
ty and in some particular instances
a larger reduction was made. This
will perhaps relieve the minds OF
some of the fruit growers that were
laboring under the rumor that the
valuation of fruit lands were to be
materially advanced in price,

SPECIAL MEETING
WAS CALLED
MASS MEETING HELD TO
DISCUSS CITY IMPROVEMENT

A meeting was called for last
/ Tuesday evening at the Council
! Chamber, by the Mayor and City
Council for the purpose of getting an
expression from the residents of
Third Avenue North, and Sixth
street and others of the city, as to
the advisability of forming further
improvement districts and laying ad-
ditional paving and also re-emburs-
ing the residents of Improvement
District No. for the payment of the
street intersections of that district.
Quite a good representation of citi-
zens were present and considerable
discussion was had on the subject.
1t appeared from the discussions On
the matter, that considerable mis-
representations and misunderstood
ing has prevailed among the people
as to the cost of construction and
the attitude of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil. 1t appears that some of the res
idents in the proposed district have
feeling that the city officials are
endeaYoring to force the improve
ment district upon them regardless
of their desires in the matter, when
as a matter of fact, they have only
acted upon the petitions as presented
to them signed by the people of the
district. This has been the case in all
districts that have heretofore been
created, and will likely be their at
titude toward all further improve
ment districts to be created. The
Mayor and council are merely SER
wants of the people and their action
in all instances has been to serve the
wishes of the majority of the people. !
1t seems from recent legal inyesti- |
cation that the city is now in a po-
sition to further bond for street i'm |
provement if it is desired by the |
people, this being the case, should !
any further Improvement districts be |
the city would be in a !
position to take care of the drainage |
and street intersections and might /
include the reimbursement to the |
property owners the cost of street |
in District No. S, and |
the meeting Tuesday evening was /
to discuss this matter, but from the |
attitude of a number present it |
seemed the real object of the meet
ing was overlooked, that a number |
attended the meeting to defend |
themselves against some under
handed game, and we do not con-
1emn them if they really thought
his to be the case, neither do we
them for opposing further
if they cannot afford it.
misunderstanding has
prevailed as to the actual cost of
'aving perhaps through ignorance
If the facts. The only correct way
o obtain an estimate of the entire
ost which would be the maximum
It which the city would be allowed
o let the contract is to get the fig
Tres from the City Engineer. and the
lid, of further paving is done, will
be considerable less as the
ngineers figures are bassed upon
conditions last fall. Since then both
abor and material has decreased, In
living our views ON street paving, we
elleye it to be the only way to
uild up the city, and enhance thei
.alue of your property, and we ven
ure to say, that after the paving is
nee laid, no one would be willing to ,
ave ii removed. p,
