LITTLE DORATHY MOSS
NARROWLY ESCAPES

Little Dorathy Moss. three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F. M Moss,
met with her first autmobile acci-
dent last Saturday afternoon that will
no doubt be one of her childhood e1-
periences she will never forget She
was crossing the street with her
mother who was wheeling the baby
carriage, and had fallen behind, and
seeing a car approaching started to
run and was struck by the front axle,
the driver had the car under con-
troll and stopped the machine with
the child uninjured beneath the car.
Little Dorathy quickly crawled out
much frightened, but declared she
would never try to out run a car
any more. 1t was very fortunate the
driver was going at a slow rate of
speed, and should be an example to
others who frequently drive through
the streets at dangerous rate.

MAY DAY TO

Get-to-gether is slogan that has

oldest inhabitant. Generally some

now here is a call by the Portia club
for real regular get-to-gether meet
ing In Payette. May, the 1st, MAY
Day" is the date Don't forget the
date and May Blossom Festival, is
the occasion. There will be many
things for entertainment and edifica-
ton, but the over-shadowing feature
Of the day will be, to assemble every
order and organization in Payette
and vicinity in one grand pageant
and then all step-to-gether. There
is inspiration in it. If there ever
was time when the people needed
to Touch Elbows" and " Step-to-
gether" it is right now. There is no
body behind this movement, every
body is in it.

A FAREWELL PARTY

Mr.. and Mrs. F. NJ Satoris, who
are to soon leave Payette were given
a surprise party by number of their
friends on Tuesday evening. The
affair was one of the most pleasant
little parties OF the season. Besides
the guests of honor, there were: Mr.
and Mrs. U. C. Guss, Mr. and Mrs. H.
L. Settle, Mr.. and Mrs. F.. Stamey,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Sherwood, Mr..
and Mrs. Will Wells, Mrs. Wallace
Griffin, Mrs. Bernard Eastman, Mrs.
Arthur Johnston, Mrs. G. W. Wat
son, Mrs. A. B. Moss Jr., and Mrs.
Masonheimer. Following a number
of good stories told, lap luncheon
was served by the ladies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Satoris have leased
their home for year, and will leave
by auto the latter part of this week
for Baker, Oregon, where they will
remain for a time at least, Mr.. Sa-
toris, being somewhat interested in
the mining industry of that section.
They have been almost life time res
idents of Payette, and it is sincerely
hoped by their many friends that they
will not decide to make their home
permanently away from Payette.

1.-THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR"
WELL PUT ON

The Senior class Of the Fruitland
high school, certainly are deserving
of lot of credit for the manner in
which they presented their play last
Friday evening at the high school au-
ditorium, and also the peiple of that
community for the loyal support
shown by their attendance.
The Editor and family were pre-
sent and managed to get a seat, but
many were compelled to stand, and
some could not get in. 1t is com
mendable in the people of Fruitland
district to give their young people
such splendid encouragement. The
play, THE Thirteenth Chair is not
an easy play to put on and do it right,
but the young people did themselves
proud Friday evening. 1t has taken
them some little time in preparing
for this entertainment, and it seems
almost a shame If they do not repeat
it in some of the neighboring towns.
We are quite sure they would give the
people a better show for their money
than nine out of ten travelling
troupes.

O.S.L. To MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS

The o. S. l.. Railroad Company
will make extensive improvements in
trackage here at Payette this Spring.
Plans have been completed and work
will begin soon. The present passing
track which now extends from the
pumping station north to Seventh
Avenue, will be extended on north
4,40O feet to the cut about one mile
north Of town, and also an additional
passing track will be built the length
of the present passing track, making
an additional trackage of approx
mately one mile and a quarter. This
is done to give more car room dur
ing the heavy shipping season, and to
eliminate the holding of trains on the
crossings while trains are passing
and also eliminate the necessity of
leaving cars standing on the track
near the crossings to obstruct the
view OF auto drivers. This improve
ment should meet with the hearty
approval of the people of Payette and
vicinity.
