4 CONTEMPLATE CRIME

+. One of the most contemplate,
low down crimes that has ever been
committed in Payette was the ~des-
traction of some $50 art lanterns
made by the little children for the
lantern. parade last Monday- evening.
Sometime during Sunday night, the
Central school house was broken into
by some person, or persons, and at
least $50 lanterns were burned. The
children have been faithfully work
ing for the past three OF four weeks
in making these lanterns and have
been looking forward with much
pleasure for the time to come, only to
be disappointed.

Weiser Umpire in the first few in

lST ANNUAL APPLE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
PROVES A GROWING SUCCESS
Ladies of Portia Club Stage Celebration Unexceed In The
History of Payette-Neighborng Towns and Commu-
mites Help in Fitting Manner Cool Weather
Fails to Keep Large Crowd Away.
Gov. Moore is Guest of Honor.

The Editor has lived in Payette
for the past 23 years, and can say
without fear of contradiction, that
! the Apple Blossom Festival put on
by the ladies of the Portia Club as
the most complete success OF any
event in the history Of the city.
Despite the unfavorable weather the
crowd gathered from far and near
until the streets were thronged with
people who paid little heed 10 the
cold wind and intervals of spattering
rain and all entered into the spirit of
cooperation to make the day COM
plete success. What seemed to us the
most outstanding feature of the day,
was the manner In which the entire
community. the neighboring towns,
particularly Ontario, got back OF Pay
ette's first annual Apple Blossom
Festival and helped to not only swell
the crowd, but took an active part
in the days program. The Ontario
Chamber of Commerce even went so
far as to call a meeting a few days
before to see that all arrangements
were complete to come to Payette in
a body bringing with them their band
and the Reserve Officers T. c., who
materially assisted in the parade and
the entire days amusement.
To give due credit to each event Of
the day, it would take more than
one reporter who was unable to be
at more than one place at a time. and
then not able to see all that was tax
ing place.
The program opened on the high
school ground when the key to the |
city was turned over to J. H. Davis.
president of Chamber of Commerce,
by Mayor woodward. In accepting
the key to the city, Mr.. Davis in a
very Appropriate manner assured the
people of their welcome to Payette

PAYETTE WINS
TWO GAMES

That the Payette baseball club has
struck its stride was evidenced last
Sunday afternoon, when they defeat
ed Ontario in the first game of the
season at home by score of IS to 2.
Heavy hitting by Payette featured
the game, which included two home
runs, one by Byrd the first baseman,
and the other by La'Mear, Payette's
new catcher. Perry of Payette also
knocked a three Dagger. Brooks OF
Payette made good showing, getting
four hits out of six times at bat.
'Chink" Alexander, veteran pitch
er of the Western Idaho League,
started for Payette and pitched ex-
cellent ball for five innings, when he
was replaced by Shake after the game
had been tucked away. Shake
pitched excellent ball for the re-
mainder of the game, allowing only
one hit. Ontario used up three pitch
ers in an attempt to stop the hard
hitting Payette batters. Ontarios
two lone runs were ATTAINED by over
throws.
The Payette Band, under the di-l
rection of Harry Stoner, was in
tendance and played before and dur
ing the game, considerably enliven-
ing it. Cold weather caused only a
fair attendance.
