and Zed's friends of his boyhood
days many years ago. Zed is the
youngest son of w. R. Fitch, and
brother of B. R., and Scott Fitch, who
left Payette IA years ago when a lad
16 years of age. Zed will not be
forgotten by his chums or the older
people either for he was just about
the most in evidence in all matters
of deviltry, if there was any fun in
it, of any lad in town, not mean, but
full if pep until it was just leaking
out all the time. His pep however,
has branched out in the right direc-
tion and he now holds a very re-
sponsible position and one that pays
a good salary, with the Union Pa
cific System.
He was accompanied from Pocatel-
10 by Neil Fitch, son of B. R. Fitch,
who came for few days visit, and
to join his wife who has been here
for the past three weeks.

GOVERNOR
|NSPECTS HIGHWAY

Boise Idaho.-Governor c. c
Moore recently drove over the North
and South highway to secure first
hand information about rhat road
and found that much Of the criticism
concerning it is dnjustified. Ap-
proximately 200 miles of the 32s
from Boise to Lewiston is an ad-
mirable highway in every particular
Between New Meadows and Round
Valley there is twelve miles of old
road which awaits the completion OF
a bridge to open up the new highway
on the other side of the canyon.
There is but 23 miles in total of un-
finished road from Round Valley to
Lucille and this is made up of sew
eral sections separated with finished
portions OF excellent highway. Ac-
cording to the State Highway de-
partment 100000 are necessary to
complete these sections of the road.
At various points along the road
contracts are working On sections OF
the highway for which contracts were
let last year. At least 100000 are
being spent on these and there are
sections already contracted for which
are awaiting better labor conditions
for construction. The completion
of a few culverts will also make this
road much better for next year.
The state highway department has
on this road only the two or three
engineers who are required for super
vision by the federal government
which is furnishing So per cent of
the funds. Temporary clearing OF
the old road with $4,000 from gas
tax fund is being done at this time.
To spend much more than this would
be wasteful since eventually these
sections will be built by contract.

BAND CONCERTS CLOSE

The Payette County Band gave
I tseir closing concert on the street
Saturday evening to one of the larg-
est crowds that ever visited Payette.
The band concerts during the sum-
mer have been source of much
pleasure to the people of Payette and
community. 1t has brought the peo-
pie in closer touch with each other.
1t has been a good advertisement for
the city and has cost the people but
small sum of money. The band
was organized less than year ago
and has developed into one of the
best in the state. While the regular
public concerts will be discontinued
during the winter months the band
will be under the instructions OF their
leader ]. H. Stoner, hold their regu-
lar rehearsals and will again appear
on the street next spring with a
larger and better band.
The Enterprise will take the liber-
ty of congratulating the band boys
and their leader in their splendid
progress, and extend to them many
thanks for their excellent entertain
ments.

DRILLING AGAIN At
WILLOW OIL WELL

The Idaho-Oregon Oil and Gas
Company with full drilling equip
ment in the Little Willow District
have resumed operations and started
drilling October first. This rig was
set up last fall and due to cold wealth
er and a little dissatisfaction in the
organization the works were shut
! down. Since that a satisfactory
organization has been perfected with
prospects now that the work will
continue. A car load of coal and al
so car of pipe is soon to arrive and
the present indications are that this
field will be properly tested out.
The new incorporators are: L.
Haarman and Fred Brandes, of Pay
cite; Nels Rasmussen and ]. F. Ras-
mussen, Ontario; ]. H. Forbes, Cald-
well; and G. w. Woodvine of Boise.
There is always an element of
chance in developing any oil field and
the Little Willow district is no ex-
ception to the rule, but from the
fact this district has been recon-
mended so strongly by number of
reputable geologists and oil men of
experience who have made compari
sons with other proven oil fields, it
would see the element of chance in
this field is certainly reduced to the
minimum.
There is no other things in con-
nection with this organization that
would tend toward placing conf
dence in its success. First, they have
no salaried officers, and all money
raised will be used in actual develop
ment work. All equipment is paid
for and they have money in the
bank.

AROUND TIE LOOP

For a pleasant drive over good
roads a whirl around the loop up
Big Willow and over the divid and
down Little Willow over Dad" Kay's
mail route a distance of so miles, is
worth while. We made the trip last
Sunday, ate our dinner in the shade
of the big trees at the old Pence
ranch twenty-five miles out from
Payette, we saw seme good dairy
herds, fine hogs and at Charley
Bottoms corn that would lay old Mis-
souri, in the shade, and Chinese
Pheasants all along the route thicker
than fleas in Egypt, just waiting for
November first. It's a fine drive,
but dad" says not to try it for a
pleasure drive in the month of
March.

a slip of paper bearing the name of

Parma. A large turn out is expected
at the opening game to see the local
boys in action.

shape as rapidly as possible and will
ibe much lighter this year than in
previous years.
A late start in practice has put
the team two or three weeks behind
all other schools of Southwest Ida
no. We hope to overcome this by
the speed of several players and the
fine showing the boys are making on
the field.

practice Monday evening and several
new men are promising material for
the season.
