CAR STRUCK By
MOVING TRAIN

John Howard living on North Sew
enth street, had very close call last
Saturday about twelve o'clock at
the crossing north of the freight de-
pot, that should be a lesson to all
auto drivers in crossing the Short
Line track. John was on his way
home, driving his car and evidently
not giving proper heed to the danger
at such places and did not see the
approaching west bound local freight
as it was leaving town, and in his
excitment killed his engine with the
front wheels almost touching the
first rail. Fortunately however the
train was not under much headway,
the engineer soon brought the train
to stop, and it was found that little
damage was done to the auto, both
tenders bent, few broken spokes in
one wheel and one headlight broken,
was the extent of the damage.
Mr.. Howard Immediately acknowl-
edged his negligence and will not
ask for damages. This is more or
less a dangerous crossing and should
require close attention by all drivers
in crossing.

HOWL|NG SUCCESS

Talk about road shows that come

take the money out of the communi-
ty, the High Brown Babies Min
strels" Friday evening at The Emma
Theatre, outclassed them all and
brought to light some real talent
among the home people where it
might be least expected. The fire.
quent incores gave evidence of appre-
citation by the large attendance.
The big show opened when the
curtain slowly raised under the sweet
strains of the chorus singing, fol-
lowed by few original jokes and
solo entitled ANDY Gump" by Pat
Murphy rendered in manner that
put "Pat" on the list as one of the
star performers of the evening. Solos
by Howard Anderson, Ted Clauser,
Jack Dring and Ross Mason were
all demonstrations of rare ability.
Drifting Down to Dixie duett
by Cy Anderson and Bert Dunnick,
was we'll rendered and made quite a
hit with the audience.
Fred Moss who was a typical
'Coon" from start to finish made
quite a hit when he sang, Pullman
Porter Blues. Fred seemed to i'm
personate the part of Darkey with
perfect ease.
John Helman who's vocal ability is |
widely known captivated the crowd |
in singing, "Ten Thousand Years |
From Now"
The Monologue by Herbert Marvin |
was simply rich, and one of the |
spicey numbers of the program.
Clark Beamguard in his Saxaphone
sool was encored and re-encored.
The Chalk Talk by Cecil Mullen
was mighty clever.
AS a magician j. H. Stoner pro-
duced some very clever work.
One of the outstanding numbers
was the quartette singing by Bert
Duell, John Helman, Cy Anderson
and Bert Dunnick with Sherman
Pobst at the piano.
The Signs of the Times, by Fred
Moss and John Helman brought out
many jokes some of a personal nature
which brught down the audience.
The orchestra composed of Sher-
man Pobst, piano; Clark Beamguard,
violin; Dwight Maule, saxaphone;
John Gross, Vern Masonheimer,
trumpets; and Ruel Maule, trombone
was unanimously pronounced the
best ever.
The company in stage formation

PLEASANT MEMORIES
OF PIONEER DAYS

| Circuit rider of AZ years ago in
! terested in article in the Enterprise
of January 18th, writes the following
letter:
| Editor of the
! Payette Enterprise,
I was more than a little interested
in the account given in your paper
of the Golden wedding of Mr. and
Mrs. Calvin Johnson. Having shared
| SO largely On their kindness, liber-
ality, and expressions of good will,
1 think 1 am competent to say that
they are worthy of all that was said
| and done on that occasion to make
life more pleasant for them. Ny
acquaintance with them began eight
years after their marriage I do
not claim to have been a pionner, but
farty-two years ago, conditions in
Payette, Jordon, and Salubrfa Valleys
were very different from what they
are now. Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
met US at my first appointment at
the Pence school house. At the
close of that first service, in the
spirit characteristic of those large
hearted Pioneers, they layed plans
for our comfort and usefulness. Peter
Pence and wife took my wife and
and our two little boys, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson took our little daugh-
ter, until we were settled. The
oregon Short Line train ran no
farther than the stopping place. fif-
teen miles form Boise. Our goods
were long delayed, and before thev
came, the train was running into
Caldwell. When notice came that
the goods had arrived, it was Cal.
Johnson who hitched his team to the
wagon, and said, Lets go after the
goods Caldwell was town of
tents. do not think there was a
dozen wooden houses. NV attention
was called to the fact that everybody
on the road, and those at Caldwell /
except the latest corners, knew Mr.
Johnson. and gave him hearty
greeting A friend of his had open-
ed motel. When Mr.. Johnson asked
hlm If we could be entertained. he
said, Sure, 1 never turn away an
Did friend. The building was of
fairly good size, but only a shell. The
walls were boards placed upright. |
but nothing had been done to if on
he inside. The upstairs was all
one room. Not a bedStead in the
-oom. Mr.. Johnson found an old
friend with whom we spent the even
ng until a late hour. When we re-
.urned to the hotel we found the
'loor covered with men who had
spread their blanket over them. The
proprietor said, Boys, I have two
friends here, Can you make room
or them?" Sure" and they made
'oom. The man on the outside rim
lext to the wall, gave a little. the
lext did likewise and so on, until we
lad room. We spread our blanket
IN the floor, drew the other one over
is and slept. The next morning
hey greeted each other cordially,

near Kalamazoo, Mich, was being
drawn under the surface by the cur
