A SUGGESTION
TO TOURISTS

There is something new bobbint
up most every day in the way of Law
and order, until the average man
.imagines every stranger whom he
meets to be an officer of the Law
ready to pull warrant for his ar
rest
A new feature in the Federal law
at least to mots people was brought
to light, last Thursday when Ed. j
Reese, special agent for the U. S.
Treasury Department dropped into
town and imposed a fine of 500
each on two representative citizens
of Payette who were innocent or un-
awares of the offence they had com
mitted against the Federal Govern
ment The offence which brought
about the imposing of these fines,
were by parties who were on a plea
sure trip some time last season ex-
tending their trip into Canada and
upon returning into the United
States innocently failed to report
back to the American custom house.
1t seems the law is plain, but not
understood by all tourists, that par
ties crossing the Canadian line must
first obtain permit which allows
them 80 days time, then on return
ing to the United States they must
Immediately report back to the Amer
ican custom house, failure in doing
SO, is in violation of the Federal law,
punishable by fine of 10000. This
article may serve as timely sug
gestion to the people of this COM
munity and may save some one the
embarrassment that was imposed up
on our Payette friends last week.

CAPT. UPTON
HERE FEB 20

1t is a strange hold that Capt
Upton gets on people. THE Big
Brother of 100000 Kids as he is
called all throughout the west, is
to lecture here on the evening OF
Wednesday, February 20th, at the
High School Auditorium and there
are 80 chances out of 100 that his
talk here on Boys VIII Be Boys
will startle local people and stir them
up to a realization of some vital pro-
blems, for this is what always hap
pens when "Dinnie" Upton speaks.
He is a recognized authority on
recreation for the youngsters. From
the days when "Dinnie" was one of
the gang in the back yards. of Grand
Rapids, Mich, he has been intensely
interested in the welfare of the boy.
Following his coleagiate work, he
became director of Athletics at
Grand Rapids, remaining there
little less than 5 years. 1t was here
that his remarkable hold and influ>
ence over young people became no
ticed by outsiders and outside or
ganizations.
When war came. ''Dinnie' directed
physical training for $4,000 men.
The life was too tame for him how
ever, so he entered the aviation SER
vice and was commissioned in the
branch Later he was sent into the
northwest to do some special lectur>
ing and it was here that he first
came into prominence as remark
ably gifted public speaker. He has
a message for the youngsters and an
even more urgent message for the
fathers and mothers. He is doing
a mighty big work and wherever he
there follows "a meritorl>
US compaign of direct action" for the
boy and girl.
He possesses a radiant, dominant
and he is eloquent in the
extreme; yet the effectiveness of
his eloquence comes largely through
his deep-seated earnestness. His
audiences love him for his enthusi-
asm, his fine character. his ideals,
his mistaken convictions, and for his
general service in the biggest of all
problems, that of the boy and girl.
Given under the auspices of Portia.
1t is hoped everyone will come out.
At the High School Auditorium, Feb.
goth.

Mr.. Will Wells.

Mr.. Will Wells.
Payette. Idaho.
Dear Sir:
The article in your issue of the 7th
instant, captioned 'Rorcbough Case
Dismissed. affords an another illus
tration OF lack Of inquiry and investi-
cation before publishing news OF this
character.
Contrary to some Of the state
ments therein contained, we will state
that at the end OF the trial of this
case in Payette County, the court
instructed the jury TO return yer
dict of not guilty, on the ground that
the court was without jurisdiction to
try the case on the theory, that if
the offense was committed, it was
committed in Ada County, but not
withstanding the courts instruction
the Jury returned unanimous verdict
of guilty and upon the defendants
motion TO have the verdict set aside
upon the aforesaid ground, but not
upon the ground that the evidence
Was not sufficient 10 sustain con-
viction, as stated in your article. The
motion was granted by the court
and subsequently a complaint was
filed in Ada County against Mrs
Rorobough and Dr., Lyman, jointly
4 preliminary examination wa. held
and they were both bound over 10 the
district court for trial.
Your article is reflection upon
both the jury that tried the case in
this county and likewise upon the
law enforcement officers of this and
Ada County.
We assure you that the officers OF
this county can justify themselves up
to 100 per cent in the handling Of
this case and in order to clear the
matter up, in the minds OF the public,
il that be necessary, We will add that
one of the main reasons for dismiss
ing this case in Ada County was the
sudden disappearance of one or two
important witnesses a short time be-
fore the setting Of the case for trial
in Ada Count
Efforts 20 get rid of the States
witnesses in this case seems to have
been chronic from the very beginning
of the Investigations and prosecution
OF the same.
Please publish this letter.
Yours respectfully,
+. E, HAYNES.

JOHN T. JEFFERTS,
Sheriff.

NURSERY STOCK MOVING

IN an interview with Mr.. II. L
Thompson who represents the Ore,
gon Nursery Co., we learn he is TAX
ing quite few orders for spring
delivery regardless of the fact that
1923 has been rather a discouraging
year for the fruit growers, however,
he is offering liberal terms to reliable
parties on commercial stock. Orders
of fair size can be purchased for
spring delivery and the time of pay
ment extended until fall. Mr. Thomp-
son is the man who introduced the
famous Date prune into this section
two years ago which, if the season is
favorable, should make quite a show
