CHAMBER RE-
V|VED 70 ACTION

A good representation OF the busl-
ness houses and members interested
in the Chamber of Commerce, was
present Friday evening at the annual
meeting. Banquet and election of
officers and a renewed interest in
the organization prevailed during the
evening. The Payette county band
was present and favored the chamber
with a few creamy selections. ]. H.
Stoner, band instructor, gave re-
port on the work and progress of the
band since it's organization February
%. 1923, which was TO say the least,
credit to Mr. Stoner, and sur
prise to the members present. At
the time the band was organized,
there were but six members, the
number has now increased to 2S.
During the summer months, 20 eve
ming concerts were given without
single miss, besides several concerts
at New Plymouth Outside of Pay
ette county the band has played az
Ontario, Weiser, Emmett and Idaho
City. The band is now organized
with officers, uniforms considerable
music. No debts and has some money
in the treasury. The surprising part
of Mr.. Stoner's report was the junior
band ranging in age from seven or
eight years to twelve. About June
first he began with twelve in the
organization and soon increased the
number to twenty. AS soon as the
weather will permit in the spring,
the boys band will give Saturday
evening concerts and the present
Payette county band viii give the
regular Thursday evening concerts.
thus the people of this community
will be given two concerts per week
Immediately after the holidays, the
members of the band will start prep
erations for a minstrel which will
be given some time in FEBRUARY. Mr..
Stoner gives assurance that this. will
be better than the one given by the
band last winter
