DANGER Of
HIGH WATER

! To corroborate the statement
made in last weeks issue of the
Enterprise regarding prospects fol
high water during the next few
weeks, we are publishing letter
from Mr.. F. G. Cottingham, friend
of Mr.. Coughanour' who is thor
oughly familiar with conditions in
the upper country. There are many
clements of obstruction, but none so
hard to control as a flood after 1t
once becomes under way. A stitch
in time is the only plan. 1t is very
thoughtful in Mr.. Cottingham TO
send word OF precaution may mean
much to tie people of this locality.
The letter ) as follows:
McCIl, Idaho, April IA, 1922
w. A. Cor .lanour,
Payette, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-Am taking the liberty tC
advise you of snow conditions here,
so that if in the judgment of your
people it might be best to prepare,
for very high water, that may occur.
Some features are not so much out
of the ordinary here, But if summer
should come all at once and remain
as it sometimes does in Idaho, con-
ditions along our rivers might be
some what exciting
To the morning of April 13 there
had fallen 1872 inches of snow
measured every "a hours.
In addition to this we have had
about 60 hours of rain. At the
above date there was 46 inches of
solid snow and 9 q inches has fallen
within last "a hours, all this mois-
ture is here, it is doubtful if any
amount has begun to run off for 40
miles down the valley.
While l am not crying Wolf!
Wolf. at all. for you know that all
his water may go down the streams
IN a quiet and dignified manner, but
am not sure but what it may all
want to go at once. There is no
frost in the ground here so that will |
AXE up some of the water.
Yours etc
F. G. COTTINGHAM.

YOUNG MEN MAKE
FINE REPORT

Harry Rhoades and Howard Roe
who were delegates from the ray,
cite High School, to the Vocatlonai
Congress at Pocatello last week,
made their report before the school
wednesday morning. The Edltor In
company with others had the pTlNll-
eye of being present to hear the re-
mort of these young men. we are
certainly very proud of the manner
in which their report was given and
the real value of what their re-
ports contained. 1t clearly demon
strates they were no, asleep at 2 the
switch while attending this import
ant meeting.
If more of the parents would visit
the schools and know more OF what
the teachers and students are doing
there would be less kicking about
the expense of. educating our child
ren.

PAYETTE LOSES
TO NE|SEF

The opening base ball game of the
season Sunday Afternoon was attended
by a large crowd of ball-fans who
gathered to witness the contest.
While the Payette boys lost by a
score of 5. TO II they are not in the
least discouTa ged. They have had
but little practice due to the unfavor-
able weather and the lineup is prin-
cipally new men who will work to-
gether with better results after 2
little practice. However, Hazeltfne
made a fine showing in the box,
allowing but two earned scores by
the Weiser team. In the sixth inning
Rands served as a substitute for
Lattig, and Lattig for Shafer, Pay
ette's lineup for Sundays game was

READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS

Read the ads in this issue. They
are of more, interest to the pur-
chaser than the advertisers. There
are many bargains offered that can
not be duplicated in any town in the
state. The merchant who publically
announces his price is not afraid of
competition. The buyer with good
sound judgment will always read
the merchants advertisement. News
paper advertisement is the medium
between the honest merchant and
the purchaser who is looking for
bargains.

FORD GAR TURNS
OVER EMRANKMEN1

C.. w. Giesler and Mr.. Frank Ward
of three miles east of Payette, had
a very narrow escape last Thursday
morning when Mr.. Giesler's Ford
car overturned pinning both men to
the ground. Mr.. Giesler and Mr..
Ward left Payette that morning on a
business trip to Huntington and
when within about mile of that
place were compelled to detour out
of the main road on account of work
being done on the Oregon Highway.
At this particular place where the
detour was made was a steep side
hill near an embankment and the
ground being very slippery the car
slid sideways turning over the en-
hlnkment pinning both men to the
ground. Mr. Giesler face down with
III. Ward on top of him both being
aeld tight with the top of the front
seat and unable to move, and would
not have been able to have with
stood the heavy pressure but a few
moments, but fortunately Mr.. Court
ney of Ontario, whom they had just
passed, with team came along and
to the men at the construc-
tion camp a short distance who came
quickly to their assistance. The car
which was slightly damaged with the
exception of a broken windshield
was righted up and their journey re-
sumed, however, Mr.. Giesler after
arriving home considerably bruised
about the chest, was taken with a
nervous chill the following day and
was confined to his bed for several
days but has now seemingly fully re-
covered from his injuries.

TO PREVENT DAMAGE
BY HIGH WATER

A crew of men and teams have
been at work for the past week in
raising the bank of the Payette
river Just above the headgate of the
- Slough at dangerous place just
above Payette. The bank has also
been rip-rapped with brush to pre-
vent further cutting. We understand
the work is about finished. but a
close watch should be kept as furth-
or work may be required. Should
the banks give way at this particular
place, it would mean obstruction of
several farms and homes including
the Payette Mills property. The
river is now raising very fast and
every indication points to the high
est water we have ever seen.

The conditions of the Payette
streets are now a credit to the city,
and especially Street Commissioner
Allen Stegall, who is on the job with

of Payette are taking a morning nap.
Payette has the best job of paving of
any town in this part of the state,
sweeper they are kept in a very sani-
tary condition. The people in gen.
eral should take little pride in as
sisting in keeping our streets clean.
Empty tobacco cans, papers and

WILL USE OLD IOWA
FOR RADIO, GUN TESTS

PHILADELPHIA, April II. The
battleship Iowa, once the pride of the
United States navy, left the Philadel-
phia navy yard today for Cape Henry,
where she will be used as target for
the Atlantic fleet in a series Of radio
and gun experiments.
For two years the Iowa has been
used as radio experimental craft and
her sister ship, the Ohio, as the con-
troll vessel. In the approaching tests
off Cape Henry, the Iowa, controlled
solely by radio, will attempt to run
the gauntlet Of the Atlantic fleet, now
on its way from Guantanamo, Cuba
Besides the radio experiments the
sinking of the ship will afford an op.
portunity to test the armor piercing
qualities of the largest projectile and
guns with which the modern battle
ships are equipped.
The control of the vessel has been
transferred from the Ohio, which also
will be sunk, to the destroyer Dicker
son.
