NJ. E. WOOD HOME
NARROWLY ESCAPES

NJ. E. Woods fine home on South
Eighth street, came near being
destroyed by fire last Saturday noon.
A little precaution and good Judge
ment is all that saved the property.
At about eight O'Clock in the morn
ing Mr.. Wood was called home by
Mrs. Wood. who became alarmed
when the SCOT in the chimney of the
furnace caught fire, on arriving home
he found a small fire just starting in
the shingles on the east side of the
house caused from falling SCOT, Mr.
Wood Immediately placed a ladder to
the house and soon eNtinguished the
blaze with pail of water, as mat
ter of further precaution, Mr.. Wood
left the ladder standing against the
house and two buckets of water near
by. on his return home for dinner
discovered another blaze had started
on the north side roof, which had
gained considerable headway., Mrs.
Wood had turned in the alarm, but
with the assistance of A. L. Pence
and Dwight Wilson, who also had
seen the fire, and with the use of the
ladder and water at hand. the fire
was quenched before the department
arrived. With the exception of a
small place in the roof being burned
and a little damage TO the ceiling be-
low, and some clothing slightly
spoiled from water, no other damage
was done. This escape from distruc
tion brings mighty good suggestion.
Keep ladder conveniently near the
home"

ORGANIZE PAYETTE
COUNTY CLUB

A meeting of considerable interest
was held at the Chamber OF Com
merce rooms Tuesday evening In re-
sponse to invitations and notices sent
out by the Payette Rod and Gun Club.
About so sportsmen of Payette coun-
ty gathered for the purpose OF or
ganizing a Payette County Club. The
meeting was called TO order by X. L..
Roberts, chairman, and after short
session of business of 1he Payette
Club, the matter was taken up re-
garding the extending OF the club TO
a county organization. After free
discussion of, the subject for some
little time, it was UNANIMOUSLY Yoled
TO carry out the purpose of the meet
ing and every man present signed MS
card to become a member. Following
the suggestion of Earl Farber who
struck happy thought to engage in
little sport, two captains were chosen
who chose sides among the new mem
bers, and the next two weeks begin
ming last Wednesday morning was
designated as determination week
among magpies, crows and hawks,
each bird head brought in counting
one point, the loosing side TO ban
quet the winners. The members of
each side are also to solicit for new
members who are to take part in the
sport, these birds are pests in the
community, and among other things
the organization will do what they
can to exterminate them.
1t was really pleasing to note the
interest taken by members from all
parts of the county, it is believed that
a membership of several hundred can
be obtained. Quite few were pre-
sent from Fruitland and New Ply
mouth who will endeavor to add new
members from their community. The
expense is so nominal, no one who Is /
at all inclined to be interested can
afford to be out of the organization, I
S1.00 per year covers the entire e1-
pense. One of the principal objects
of the club is to assist in maintaining 1
the game laws, and to see that the 4
right kind of game laws are made.
1t was decided at the meeting that 4
all boys under Is years of age who /
brought in % heads of any of the
birds to be exterminated during the i
next two weeks are to be given a free
membership for one year.
Ralph Roberts of Payette, H. A. I
Snyder of New Plymouth, and Mr..
Langdon of Fruitland, were appoint
ed to receive and receipt for the
heads brought in, both from the boys
and from each team.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted and sent to Governor c. G.
Moore, urging the re-appointment of
Otto NJ. Jones as State Game Warden
for another term. a similar resolu-
ton was adopted asking for the re-
appointment of Geo. Boor for deputy
of this district.
Another meeting is called for Tues /.
day evening at the Chamber of Com
merce rooms at which time officers
and directors will be elected and the
organization fully perfected.

city council in connection with the
fire department. through the assist
ance of an expert from Boise, had
the business section OF Payette e1-

This was certainly wise thing TO do,
it was done at little expense and may
have averted the loss of many thou
sand dollars by fire.

"a community can only be served by
an organized body, it cannot be done
Individually"
J. H. Stoner was called upon to
tell us something about the organl-
cation of the band, he gave assur-
ance that with the full moral support
