WIDELY KNOWN MEN
VISIT PAYETTE

Payette had some widely known
men as visitors last Saturday Mr..
Raker, who delivers an interesting
and Mr.. Elliot the Ormithologist,
author and lecturer on Bird Life; (;
both of Portland. Ore. These men
hold offices in the Audobon and
Humane societies of Oregon, and
the Isaac Walton club of Portland.
At present they are on a lecture, and
bird study tour of the State of Ore
gon.
Before leaving Portland they were
told by several parties if they came
near this part of Idaho to be sure
and look up H. w. Weidner, our
local naturalist and sportsman, as
he could give them some valuable
pointers on bird life and distribution
in Idaho; also could give them more
information than any man in the
state concerning the Salmon River
Country. They together with many
of the other big men of the north
west are working for the creation of
a Federal Game Refuge in the Sal
mon River District; also the pre-
vention of the building of wagon or
railroads in or across it.
They arrived late in the evening
and as they offered to show their
lantern slides and give their lectures,
Mr.. Weidner hastily called in a few
friends and neighbors to share the
treat, and treat it was as those who
were present will testify, for Mr..
Elliot has one of the best collections
of colored slides ever made of bird
life.
Mr.. Pease, secretary of the the
Payette Rod e Gun Club. who was
present, is going to try and get them
to deliver their lectures under the
auspices of the Gun Club at some
future date.
Mr.. Weidner is working now on
colored lantern slides to illustrate a
lecture on the Sporting and Recrc-
alton Possibilities of Scenic Idaho,
and while here Mr.. Raker and Mr..
Eliot made arrangements to have
him deliver this lecture before the !
Isaac Walton Club of Portland.
Mr.. Elliot's latest book. Birds of |
the Pacific Coast" is just off the
press and he has another one on
Game Birds" in course of prepar-
alton. From here they went to |

TWO ACCIDENTS
ON HIGH GRADE

Lieut.. C. S. Ward and Lieut.. o.
S. Tenhil, army officers form Camp
Lewis, were both slightly injured in
an auto accident at about one O'Clock
Wednesday morning on the grade
near the Snow--Moody Pumping
Plant, on the Oregon side. That both
were not more seriously injured is
perhaps due to the fact they were
driving an enclosed car, Stude-
baker Coupe. The officers were on
their way from Camp Lewis to Salt
Lake and having lost some time due
to engine trouble and being on
schedule time were travelling after
night to make up for lost time, and
were going at a high speed as they
rounded the curve down the grade.
Lieut.. Ward, who was driving the
car saw the danger of going over the
bank and swang back toward the
upper side of the road causing the
on its side and landing rear end up
resting on the radiator with the top
braced against the ground. The
windshield broke, one fender, hood
and radiator smashed Both men
were more or less scratched up,
Lieut.. Ward receiving quite a cut
across the face, they were given first
aid at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sullens, Lieut. Tenhel remaining
with the car while Mr. Ward was
brought to the office of DR.. l. R.
Woodward, where his wounds were
dressed.
The car was brought to Payette by
Shurtleff & Young, where it was put
in repair and the officers resumed
their journey Wednesday evening.
At this same point, two cars were
BADLY smashed last Monday, both
were tourist cars that came together,
the drivers not being familiar with
the road. In this accident no one
was hurt.

manufacturing the remedy on quite
a large scale, the plant being IN
stalled and in operation in the ware
room of the eompany's building here
in Payette. Fly-Tox s a commodity
that will sooner or later be used in
every home. it was developed and
perfected at the Mellon Institute or
Industrial Research, at Pittsburg,
Pa. the foremost scientific institu-
ton of its kind in the world, hence
there is no question as to the virtue
of this product for which it was
made. Fly-Tox was primarily man
ufactured for the purpose of eradi-
eating flies, mosquitoes, ants and
other house pests, but is ideal for re-
moving paint or grease spots from
clothing, cleaning wash bowls, bath
tubs, enameled ware, etc.

BOISE LOSES
IN FAST GAME
WESTERN IDAHO LEAGUE

Credit for the defeat of Boise by
Payette last Sunday must be divided
by C.. "Scrappy" LaMear, his broth
er, F.. LaMear, ,and "Chink' Alex
ander. Alexander undoubtedly
pitched the best ball game OF any he
has pitched so far this season, and
that is Saying a mouthfuF, as they
have all been good ones. Errors on
the part of Payette robbed him of a
shut-out last Sunday as Boise's two
runs in the first inning were obtain
ed entirely on errors.
F. La Near, Payette's valuable ac-
quisition at third base showed up
good in Sundays game by his ability
at bat, in base stealing, and fielding
his position, being responsible for
two of Payette's runs, while c. La
Near, Payette's popular catcher, was
the hero of the game with the homer
over the right field fence in the last
half of the eighth, scoring his broth
er on first base, making the score 3
to in favor of Payette.
Dutch" Sherman of Boise had a
chance to tie the score in the first
half of the ninth but threw it away
trying to steal third after driving one
for two bases into the right field.
Stewart, pitching for Boise, was in a
tight place two or three times, but
by working hard managed to get out
of them safely.
Attendance at this game was the
largest this season, 1900 people pay
ing admission, and they were re-
warded by seeing a ball game that
had all the aspects of a major league !
game after the first inning. Next |
Sunday Payette plays Weiser at Wei !
ser, and if you think last Sundays !
game was a good one, don't fail to /
see this one, as Payette and Weiser
are tied for first place, and one of |
the two teams is destined for second |
place. Payette says it is going to I
be Weiser and Weiser says it is Pay
ette, so both teams will be on their
toes and play ball from the minute
it starts until the end. /

EVERYBODY WORE A TAG

Band Tag Day was quite a sue

proper ladies were in charge of sell

sold which added practically $500
to the band uniform fund and a few
more dollars contributed from the
benefit dance making total of near
iy $4,000. Through some misun-
derstanding the band boys were not
able to wear their uniforms last
Saturday evening but will appear in
their new togs Saturday evening of

little better appearance in uniform,

DRY FARM CROPS LOOK GOOD

A trip over the upper branch of
Dead Ok Flat, is ample evidence of a
fairly good rye and fall wheat crop.
The frequent rains and cool weather
during May and June has been to
some extent a detriment TO the hay
crops on. the irrigated lands, but it
has certainly made good for the dry
farmers who's land is above water.
For miles back On the rolling hills
the land is practically all cleared and
thousands of acres are in beautiful
waving fields of grain that will now
mature without any further moisture.
1t will mean many dollars to the
people of tLat section.

A NEW PUNISHMENT
FOR AUTO SPEEDERS

A new fad in punishment for
auto traffic yiolators has been start
ed in some of the eastern cities.
When person is arrested for speed
ing they give you as many hours in
the cooler as there were miles in
your speed. If this was tried out
here in Payette some of these young
sports would be spending most of
their time in the cooler.
