slight scalp wound, and other bruises
and his car considerably damaged
Tuesday evening as a result of a
collision Tuesday night. Mr.. Long

big car loaded with young people
who were returning to Weiser after
the dance and seemingly were not
inclined to give their share of the
road, Mr.. Longfellow had no choice
in the matter except to go over the
embankment or be hit, so he chose
the latter, he was thrown against the

axle bent and a fender smashed The

EMPLOYEES HAVE
SOCIAL TIME

After a seasons run lasting about
six months, the entire force at the
Denney & Co. Drier, joined in big
banquet to celebrate the closing of
the plant after successful season
run, and to say farewell to the win
ter's job until the plant opens next
fall.
The last of the apples were clean
ed up about six O'Clock in the even
ing and the tables at the drier all
cleaned ready for the occasion.
Every body went home and "dolled
up and returned with cakes, pies
and all that goes to make up real
banquet There were about 20 in all
who members OF the force took part
in the jollification.
The drier has been the means of
a good substantial pay roll during
the winter months when it is most
needed. 1t has not only given en-
ployment to goodly number of fam
lilies, but has converted many tons
of Gull apples into cash that would
have otherwise been a total loss.

ECONOMICAL
SYSTEM USED
BY CITY

The City of Payette is certainly
operating on an ect nomical system,
at least so far as the streets
and alleys and the police department
is concerned, and will probably. be
able to continue in the tax reduction
plan with the cooperation of the
people. At the present there is but
one man in charge of the police de-
partment, also the same man is in
charge of the street work. Since
the resignation of Allen Stegal as
chief of police and street commits
sioner, Fred Christensen who has
heretofore served an night police
man, has been made chief OF police
and street commissioner, and is
also taking care of the night work,
and will continue to do so as long
as the work is satisfactory. In order
to continue this saving, it will re-
quire the forbearance of the people
to some extent. Don't expect the
city marshal to keep the neighbors
chickens out of your back yard or to
take immediate charge of every COW
that gets out, and many other trifl-
ing difficulties that arise. If we are
to cut down expenses we cannot ex-
pect the same prompt service at
all times Fred is an exceptionally
good man but must have some time
to sleep. E. H. Alden watermas-
ter, will be given full police author
ity to help in the enconomical ad |
ministration of the city affairs.

SWANSON HOME ESCAPES
LOSS BY FIRE

The home of ]. NJ. Swanson es-
capped destruction by fire last Sun
day about one O'Clock, when the
fire that broke out in the roof caused
by falling sparks was extinguished
before it had gotten under headway,
Mr.. Swanson discovered the blaze,
and turned in the alarm which
brought the department to the res
cue, but the application of water
from the garden hose by Mr.. Swan
son and a few nearby neighbors had
the situation under control by the
time they arrived. A few dollars
damage to the roof was the extent
of the loss which was covered by
insurance.

PAyETTE RESI-
DENTS MEET
IN CALIFORNIA

A letter received by The Enter
prise tells of an unexpected reunion
of two Payette residents in Balboa
Park at San Diego. Calf, Sunday,
March 23rd, A. H. Garside and
George Chapman were the principals
in the reunion while Mr.. Garside's
son Lester, and Mrs. Chapman also
participated. All were glad to see
each other especially since the meet
ing was entirely accidental.
Mr.. Garside arrived in San Diego
early last week to visit an uncle and
one of the places he was taken to
see was the big park where each af-
ternoon there is a recital on the out
door organ by DR.. Humphrey ].
Stewart When Mr.. Garside came
back to his car he found Mr.. and
Mrs. Chapman standing nearby as
they had noticed his license plate
and were determined to find out
who the tourist from the home
state might be, never dreaming it
would be some one from their own
home community.
Both parties had been away from
home several months, Mr.. Garside
the middle of November on a long
trip in their Ford to Texas and Ok
lahoma, then back to San Diego.
The Chapmans left here about the
first of January in their car and
drove to California, eventually land
ing in San Diego which, they said,
they liked best of all the places they
had visited Mr.. Garside, too, was
favorably impressed and intimated
he might decide to make his home
there some day.
Last Monday morning, after
short visit with Lee James, who is
a student in the radio school at the
naval training station in San Diego,
Mr.. Garside and his son left for a
trip up the coast to visit places in
Oregon on their homeward journey. I
They expect to arrive in Payette in
about two weeks. The Chapmans al
so are expected to return home dur
ng the coming month. By the time
be gets back here Mr.. Garside will
have covered about 1000 miles and
seen many interesting places and of
all these he seems to like San Diego
best.

ROD AND GUN
CLUB IN ACTION

The directors, and the member
ship committee of the Payette Coun-
ty Rod & Gun Club, met at Fruit
land, Friday evening, the principal
object of the meeting was to outline
plans for a campaign for member
ship. After considerable friendly rag
chewing as to just how the matter
should be conducted, B. R. Fitch
challenged the other four members
of the committee or rather bet them
the price of bfg feed for the mem
bership of the club, that he alone
would secure more members for the
organization than they could, his
territory to be confined to the north
end of the county extending to the
south line of the city limits of Pay
cite. The challenge was accepted
and the battle is on. The campaign
to close April 18th. The side that
loses pays for the banquet to be
given shortly after the campaign
closes. The membership fee for
the year is only one dollar, so there
should be close to 500 members IN
thia county.
The matter of destroying mag
pies, crows and Sharp Skinned
hawks was taken up deciding on
the same plan adopted last year, Of
fering a bounty as follows: One
cent for magpie and crow eggs. five
cents for old magpies, and 20
cents for Sharp Skinned hawks. TO
collect bounties it is necessary to
tnrn in the heads, or eggs of the
bird to the following members who
are authorized to make payment:
Herbert Snyder, New Plymouth;
Frank Thompson, Fruitland; V. L..
Roberts, Payette; and Clyde Currin
Little Willow.
In addition to the bounties, a
free membersip will be given to any
boy under 16, who turns in %.
heads of any of the above named
birds.
ANY member should do anything
in his power to assist in the destruc-
ton of the birds mentioned, it is by
far the cheapest way to increase the
supply of game birds. The mag
pies alone destroy more game birds
than all the hunters put together.
The committee on stocking game
and fish, will take up the matter at
once as to planting trout in both
Little and Big Willow.
If you have not Joined the club,
See Burt at once, we're on his side.

REX OSBORNE BROADCASTS
A FRESH POLITICAL GUESS

Boise, Idaho.-Rex Osborne, nom
de plume of a well known writer
who has been guessing things
political in Idaho for many years,
has broaGcasted the following nom
nations:
Republican: Moore for governor,
Borah for senate.
Democratic: Ross (Pocatello) for
governor, Rice or Walters (Cald-
well) for senator.
Progressive: Samuels for gov
ernor Some Twin Falls man de-
sired for senator, although it might
be left open in the interest of Borah.
1.-THE Democratic plan is designed
to take Republican strength from
the southeast and break up Pro-
gressive strength in Canyon and
adjoining strongholds. The Pro-
gressive plan looks to special
strength in the north and Snake
river valley. The Republican plan
is a comprCmise between the pri-
mary and convention forces. 1t is an
odds on bet as to the final out
come. The forecaster merely
claims it's a fairly good guess"

CREAMERY
MAKES GOOD
RECORD

Reports from the Farmers Co
operative Creamery show the month
of March to be a record breaker.
Butter manufactured in this month
amounted TO 131,54S pounds with
gain over March 1928 OF $4,000
pounds.
This report Will be gratifying TO
the many patrons of the Creamery,
and viii reveal to them the fruits OF
their labor, loyalty, ard good Judge
ment, and what cooperation Ill do
for them, for as the volume grows,
likewise the cost of cooperation de-
creases and leaves q larger margin
for the producer. The management
Of this institution saved the produc-
ers more than 100000 last year by
a reduction of the manufacturing
cost alone. and hopes tosdouble this
in the present year. This can only be
accomplished by increased volume.
The dairymen OF western Idaho
and eastern Oregon are proud OF
their achievement in the upbuilding
of this, the greatest cooperative
marketing association in the west,
and they stand behind it with a firm
determination to show the world
the possibilities Of cooperation.

DOG SAVES HIS MASTERS LIFE

Henry Bartenhagen, living three
miles east of Payette, had narrow
escape last Saturday and probably
would have been brutally killed had
it not been for his faithful dog.
Mr. Bartenhagen had sold a five
year old Durham bull and went to
the yard to drive the animal out to
deliver him with some other cattle.
AS he entered the yard with club
in his hand, the bull made rush at
him knocking him to the ground
and would have completed his brutal
work but the old family dog was
Immediately on the job and gave the
enraged animal something else to
look after while Mr.. Bartenhagen
made his escape, however not be-
fore he had received several severe
bruises but not seriously injured.
The dog was allowed to finish his
revenge which put the animal in a
better frame of mind to be driven
to market.

RETURNS
FOR SUGAR GROWERS

The Sugar Press of Denver out
lines logical methods for increasing
profits to sugar beet growers.
The beet grower is paid for his
crop a price per ton varying accord
ing to the average net price per bag
realized by the manufacturer.
For all beet sugar companies in
the United States. the marketing
cost of 1922 sugar was Sl.05 per
bag according to United States Tariff
Commission. If this marketing cost
can be reduced it automatically in
creases the farmers profits.
For example, a bag of beet sugar
which would displaee q bag of cane
sugar in Kansas City, would aid the
beet grower and at the same time
aid the cane grower if the bag or
cane sugar was sod nearer the sea
board.
One of the principal ways in
which net price may be increased is
to enlarge sale of beet sugar in beet
growing districts in such states as
the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming ana
Colorado.
For western sugar 10 be Shlppeu
east of Chicago when cane sugar is
sold in states like Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri and Iowa, is a situation
which the people of these states must
be educated to correct in the inter
est of their farming industry.
Every bag of sugar sold in Dea
Moines, Iowa. compared with Gin
cinnati would add % cents IN the
farmers collective proceeds for the
beet crop. Every bag of beet sugar
sold in Wichita, Kansas, instead Of
would add As cents.
This illustrates enormous benefits
to be derived by beet growers from
sale of beet sugar in Mis-
souri, river territory compared with
district east of Chicago.
This is a logical plan for farmers
to work on in solving farm problems.

To All Inspectors:
Because of the serious outbreak
of the foot and mouth disease in
California a conference was held
at Salt Lake City, March 31st, to
provide ways and means for the
best protection of northwestern
states from the spread of this
disease. 1t was finally decided that
one of the best safeguards against
the spread of the disease would be
the destruction of all packages OF
packing material coming into the
state from California for any reason
whatsoever. Hence it is ordered
from this department that you make
a special effort to interview all ship
pers of food products or merchandise
of any kind whatsoever and strongly
urge upon them the importance of
the matter, advising them to destroy
by burning all packages and packing
material which comes from Cali
fornia.
California has already received
loss in excess of one million dollars
for idemnities paid to cover loss
from this disease besides other
numerous local losses. This shows
the importance Of the situation.

THE AFTERGLOW"

Though not so vivid, as the sunset,
The sunset, so golden,
That it steals, my heart away,
But Oh, the afterglow is like,
The hush, that follows day,
When cares and doubts are
laid away.
And tired souls can pray.
1t soothes the restless spirit,
and fills the mind,
With peace and joy
''Joy te the world awaking'
From the dream of doubt and feat,
Into the glow and glory
OF Gods presence here.
