AFTER VACATION

The first regular meeting of the
Payette Chamber of Commerce aftel
the hot weather vacation was held
last Friday evening with President

was very good attendance and sew.
eral matters of much importance to
the community were taken up and
discussed
The matter of bringing about re-
lief in the way Of gravity water for
the ranchers of Dead OK Flat through
a proposed government project was
pretty well explained by Chairman
Bradshaw. The proposed plan being
taken up by the Ontario Chamber of
Commerce some time ago and has
been advanced TO point where the
Government officials in charge of
reclamation work seem to think the
plan feasible, and inasmuch as it is
a relief measure rather than the ex-
penditure OF money for the opening
of new project, the plan seems to
be advisable.
Payette has been asked to help in
defraying the initiatory expense
which was the matter before the
Chamber Friday evening and was
heartily approved by all members
present.
II this project is approved it will
mean the building of an extensive
reservoir at some point on the Owy-
hee river which will relieve at least
six expensive pumping plants along
the Snake river extending from above
Nyssa to the lower end of Dead Ok
Flat besides covering many acres of
land on upper Dead Ok that is now
being dry farmed.
The matter OF stock and poultry
show which had previously been tax
en- up by the board of directors, for
Payette at some date this fall was
discussed and referred back to the
board of directors, with the approval
Of the Chamber.
The matter of a proposed plan of
discrimination in freight rates for
Idaho, was also discussed and left in
the hands OF a committee appointed.
Mr.. B. r. Fitch, manager of the
Payette County Band, explained the

ion to the people of Palette to

BERRY. COSTS
TO GROWERS
In Snohomish County One
Crate Costs $1.56-What
Does It Cost Here?

The success of Kennewick's straw
berry industry depends, in the final
analysis, not upon how much the ber-
ries are sold for, but the difference
between the selling price and the cost
of production. It is an easy matter
for each grower to determine at the
end of any shipping season how much
per crate he received for his berries
but does he know how much per crate
it cost to grow them? Perhaps in an
off hand way each grower knows this
but the Courier Reporter would like
to see the Courier Reporter would like
average production cost per acre for
the district. Such a table of costs
was recently prepared and published
by the Snohomish Berry Growers.
These cost tables included straw
berries prepared for both canning and
shipping. The shipping figures fol-
low:
Adaptable land for this purpose in
Snohomish county has present mar
ket value (cleared) Of $4,000. The
average life of a strawberry field
is four years. The average produc-
ton for the life Of the field is 900
crates. The cost of raising one crate
of strawberries is thus:

wheat farms of Eastern Washinoton
reads like fairy tale.
During the spring of 1921 Gaoroo
L. Aundel, extension specialist in nlan+
diseases, proposed to j. C. Scott Of
franklin county, that few plots he
used to demonstrate the treatment of
seed wheat with copper carbonate.
Mr.. Scott secured an acre on ten
dlfferent farms where seed was plant
co which had been treated with con.
per carbonate. The results were as
tonlshing. Not only was the wheat
less smutty, but the stand was much
better and produced larger weld.
Thru the jealous efforts of the ex-
tension service county agents, as
sisted by Mr.. Zundel, the acreage
seeded with wheat treated by this new
increased in two wears from
10 to 734,961 acres.

4 Life ofAdvemture

Belt mountains and foothills. Finally
the call of the wild got him about one
year ago and he outfitted and went
north with the mail teams. Taking
his traps and supplies from Fort Prov
idence, Hudson Bay company trad
ing post, he went into the mountains
where for some reason the Indians
never went. Here for five months
during one Of the coldest winters on
record, he never saw human being,
even in the shape of an Indian. He
has been very successful in trapping,
counting among his catch several
Arctic white foxes which the extreme
cold had driven down from the north.
Among other things. he mentioned
the passage Of an immense herd of
caribou across the pine barrens. This
herd ran into the thousands and were
probably driven south by the heavy
SHOWS or extreme cold.
Edgar mentions the prices which
prevail at his trading post Sugar Is
$50 per sack, flour $40 per sack and

Plans Under WaV
for Baseball Club

A large and enthusiastic bunch of
baseball fans gathered in the club
room of the X. P. hall on Friday even
ing TO discuss ways and means of pro-
noting Belt Baseball club for the
season.
A committee had already waited
upon most of the business men, pro-
fessional men and others who had Civ
en- generous response to their re-
quest for financial backing.
The meeting selected the name of
Belt Athletic club for the organiza-
tion which will be behind the team.
1t is proposed that a league be
formed of five teams from Great
Falls, one each from Cascade, Sand
Coulee-Stockett and Belt, making
eight teams in all This would give
the home team from Is to II games
at home.
But there is a fly in the ointment.
Stockett-Sand Coulee and Cascade are
assured of places in the league and if
one of the five teams proposed for
Great Falls fails to materialize, they
would have a six team league and no
place for Belt. In the latter case an
attempt will be made to form a league
with the neighboring towns of Raynes-
ford, Geyser, Highwood and Neihart.
AT this meeting Bill Fluhr was
electet president of the organization
and the following men to act as di-
rectors: Jay Leland, vice president,
George Stuffel and J. R. Culver. These
men were authorized to select their
own secretary which they
did a few days later when they ap-
pointed Ray Call, cashier of the First
National bank TO that position.
Correspondence has been started
with j. Fischer, who is now in North
Dakota, with the object of securing
him as a pitcher for the team With
Kjose and Fischer as battery it will
be possible to put good team in the
field Developments may be expected
soon.

k.P.EaSter Dance
Is Well Attended

One of the finest staged dances Of
the season was the Easter Ball given
by Cascade Lodge No. 80, Knights OF
Pythias, on Monday last.
The weather was decidedly un
pleasant, cold wet snow having
fallen for two days and the roads off
the trunk lines were almost impassi-
BILE A hundred couples gathered in
the K. P. hall where they enjoyed
themselves until almost daylight the
following morning. The Pythian Sis
'ters prepared the lunch which was
served in the dining room at midnight
and which was patronized by large
part of the crowd. The lunch was
both abundant and tasteful and gave
the crowd the requisite pep to keep
them going until the imminent dawn
warned many that they had to work
next day.
Hardly a person stepped within the
hall who did not exclaim at the beauty
of the decorations. The lights shin
ing through a maze of colored stream
ers spread varicolored glow over the
assemblage and made one feel in fairy
land. The windows were painted
white and on the lower sash was en-
blazoned in colors the eseutcheon Of
the lodge. Above the masters stand
was the sign Cascade Lodge No. 80,
Knights Of Pythias, Welcomes You"
On the walls at intervals were hung
insignia Of the lodge in colors while
above hanging in graceful festoons
from the ceiling were mass of
streamers, the center yellow, the bor-
der of red and blue, the colors Of the
order. The windows and light fix
lures were draped in the same way
and the effect was artistic in the ex-
treme.
