O'Clock two minutes. We were sorry.
wanted to write a letted instead Of
card. l expect you have got the
cards by now.
The porter was awfully nice. We
gave him a banana, the grapes were
all gone the first day. The packages
were all so nice-we didn't open
brothers until we got to Chicago,
for we thought we would have too
much to bother with. Tell Aunt Ell
sic | will write to her later and tell
Aunt Stella the same and Aunt Mar
ion, too. There was an awfully nice
man on the train. He sat at one end
of the train and we sat at the other
end so we went and sat with him.
And also a woman. She went toOma-
ha. She said l reminded her of her
little granddaughter and so l went
and sat with her Her home is in
Lincoln, Neb. She gave me a quar-
ter. l didn't want to take it but she
put it in my pocketbook when I
wasn't looking.
The man told me to write TO him
and gave me his address. l gave my
head nasty bump in the sleeper
last night. l raised up TO see what
brother said, and l laid down on my
stomach. 1t is all swelled up and
black and blue this morning, but 1
think it will be all right soon. I
want something to eat.
Goodbye,
Evelyn
Emily and brother send their love.

ONE DOLLAR PER MINUTE

The big husky at the carnival in
Ontario during fair week who ban
tered all corners on the mat, and Of
fered one dollar per minute for the
man who could stay ten minutes,
when Ray Christensen of Payette-
Oregon Slope, who has not even had
a workout for the last seven years,
walked into the tent Saturday even
ing and accepted the challenge.
AT the end of the ten minutes Ray
was just beginning to warm UP. 1t
was easy picking, Ray says, and ten
dollars for job like that beats
raising alfalfa at any price.

WHEEL STOLEN FROM CAR

r. L. Cahill of North Sixth street
says his Ford will run with a miss

selves in the car ready for a drive.
MIR. Cahill started the motor a

ahead. An investigation of the trou-
BILE disclosed one corner of the car
setting on a jack with one hind
wheel, tire, rim and all, missing.

PAYETTE BOY 20 YEARS AGO

Paul w. Childers and wife, driv-
ing Packard twin six, passed
through Payette Wednesday even
ing enroute to their home at The
Dalles, Oregon, stopping for a short
time TO glance over the old town
and if possible to locate the home
where Mr.. Childers lived in pioneer
days more than 80 years ago. He
was directed to the editors home for
information where it was our plea
sure to make the acquaintance of a
very pleasant appearing man. He
is the son of Henry NJ. Childers who
owned and lived on a 20-acre tract
in the north part of Payette on the
west side of Sixth street, long ago
divided into small tracts where now
stands the Sam Chapman hofe and
others adjoining on the north. Mr..
Childers was a lad nine years of
age when with his parents he moved
from Payette 29 years ago. He well
remembers some of the boys of his
day who still remain in Payette,
and called to mind little contro-
yersy with A. B. Moss, jr., who was
decidedly the winner of the combat,
also battle with Carl Payne (now
an attorney of Boise) who landed a
rock on his nose leaving a slight
croog in his probosis which still re-
mains as evidence of the truthful
ness of his story.
Mr.. Childers is now one of the
prominent attorneys of The Dalles,
and left pressing invitation for
any of his Payette friends who may
pass through that city to stop and
renew old acquaintances.

Petty thieving seems to be get
