ONTARIO TAKES
GAME FROM
PAYETTE

The only bright spots in last Sun
days game between Payette and
Ontario was the exceptional field
ing OF Soran and OMAHA of Ontario.
and Rhodes of Payette. Hits were
plentiful on both sides but Ontario
punched theirs giving them the win
ming runs, whereas Payette was
weak at the critical moments. Pay
cite got away to a good start in the
first by tallying two runs This lead
was overcome in the third by ontario
and clinched in the fifth when they
started merry -go-round that net
ted them four duns. Payette started
what promised TO be ninth inning
ralley but it fizzled out ingloriousiy
and the game ended in favor of On
tario by a score of Z to 4. Next week,
after meeting Emmett next Sunday,
we hope to be able to tell how it was
done, instead OF '.how it happened.

GAS EXPLOSION
WRECKS BUILDING

The Orrell building on Main street
occupied by the City Pressory and
the w. E. Loughrey Barber Shop
was badly wrecked when an explo-
sion took place in the rear room of
the pressory about O'Clock Monday
evening. Mr.. Beamguard, proprietor
of the pressory, had just finished
washing several suits of clothing and
other garments and had placed them
in the drying room in the rear apart
ment and was at the outside door in
the front room ready to leave when
the explosion took place. Vernon
Masonheimer and Ted Ciauser were
also in the building at the time.
While the door in the partition was
closed the concuSsion was so great
the partition wa blown loose at the
top and all of the glass in the front
window broken, the partition be-
tween the rear of the pressory' and
the barber shop was also badly
wrecked and fully twelve inches out
of place at the top. All the clothing
in the drying room was completely
burned and other property belong
ing TO Mr.. Beamguard destroyed
The three men in the building were
TRAPPED in as the conclusion had
jammed the front door past the
catch. they were released however,
by H. E. Alden who was near
by when the explosion took place,
and kicked the door in from the
outside The men were quite badly
shocked but not seriously injured.
The fire department responded
quickly and were operating the
chemical engine in just one minute
and a half after the alarm sounded
and soon extinguished the blaze
From the evidence at hand, it is
believed the yapor which had accum-
ulated in the rear room from the
clothing satuated with gasoline, was
ignited from fire that had pre-
viously been burning in the upper
part of the building and had leaked
through the ceiling.
The loss estimated at about
s150O.oo is fully covered by insur-
ance.

SHALL We KEEP
THE SCHOOLS ON
A HIGH STANDARD

! A great deal OF interest has been
aroused in the recent statement by
the School Board that owing to a
schortage of funds the subjects OF
Domestic Science, Manual Training
and the Commercial course must be
dropped from the High School.
The lack of funds is due TO low
ering in valuation of the assessible
property OF the county together with
a smaller amount of money available
from a smaller general levy made by
the Board of County Commissioners
for thys year.
A large delegation conferred with
the School Board at the High School
building on Monday evening Of this
week, and the subject was considered
from every angle.
The general opinion expressed was
that the loss of the three subjects
proposed would be little short of a
calamity to the students and to the
town alike. The meeting enthusi-
astically expressed itself as being in
favor of the restoration of music and
art coureses which were dropped some
time ago and the retention of the
courses in the other subjects which
we now have. To follow such a
policy the Board pointed out would
require the levy of an additional four
mill tax.
The citizens present at the meet
ing were unanimously in favor OF
such tax.
AS required by law the School
Board will submit the question Of
whether or not such a tax will be
levied to the voters of the district Oh
Saturday, May path.
1t is to be hoped that every one
who has the good of the student, the
school, and the town. will vote for
this additional assessment. We feel
that the present high standing of the
High School can not be lost for the
want of funds which can be derived
from the voting of a tax so small thai
no one will feel it.
Every person in town, whether di-
rectly connected with the High
Heb School OF not. Is deerar inter
ested in keping this. our besE instits-
tion on the high plane which it has
hitherto occupied.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS
CAR DESTROYED BY FIRE

The Chevrolet Sedan, HeIonglng 70
George BIakney. was totally des-
troyed by fire at three o'clock this
morning. The car was standing out
side at his home on River street, and
the supposition is that the fire was
started by short in the electric wiz
ing. The same car took fire a few
days before while being driven by
Mr.. Blakney and was extinguished
with considerable difficulty by using
dust from the road. It was practi-
caIIy a new car and quite a loss to
Mr.. Blakney.

BEES LIGHT ON MAIN STREET

A new enterprise sprung up in
Payette Wednesday afternoon, when
a swarm of bees came into town and
seemingly had gone about far
enough, and were circulating around
looking for place to start up in
business and were finally induced by
f. Stamey to come down and take up
their abode in box placed on the
sidewalk in front of the Palumbo
Fruit Co.'S. office. They were a
very friendly little bunch and seemed
to enjoy the crowd that gathered
around to watch them gather in their
new home.
