SEEK ROAD IMPROVEMENT

About three weeks ago a delega
tion of people living in the vicinit!
of Ingard met with the highway
commissioners at Fruitland and
called their attention to the extreme
ly dangerous condition of the road
between the P.y. railroad and the
highway where the Shawhan lateral
takes up half the space between the
fences. The turn from the highwa.
into this narrow track is a square
corner and a wide. deep ditch IS
yawning before you. Coming from
the east. one is headed for the
rocky chasm as he crosses the Far
mers' canal and the p V. grade and
he cannot see il till he is almost in
to il. The commissioners looked the
place over and have taken the mat
ter under advisement and we are all
hoping they will find some way to
fix IL before a serious accident hap
pens there.

PAVING MOVING
ALONG RAPIDLY

Paving on the highway south OF
Payette is moving along at a rapid
rate and the work so far finished
is certainly an excellent job. Ac-
cording to the engineers estimate,
by Saturday night OF this week there
will be about 5000 yards OF finished
work and within two weeks the
work OF paving will be completed.
However. before the job is complete
three-foot shoulder will be laid on
each side, making total driving
space of "a feet. Payette county will
then have two more miles of Mr..
Helmer's. paving which they will be
proud to have anyone inspect at any
season OF the year. At The present
time from 80 to 100 truck loads of
crushed rock is being taken from the
city gravel pit, much of which con-
tains more sand than is required Tor
the proper mixture. This surplus is
excellent for surfacing graveled
roads and the city has arranged with
Mr.. Helmer to sand Lovers Lane
fom Ninth street east to the Lower
Payette ditch. Mr.. Helmer. for his
own convenience and TO save cutting
up the road, has sanded South Sixth
street. from the paving east to the
sand Pit.
At the completion of the work |
here, the plant will be moved to En- I
nett where Mr.. Helmer has con-
tract for paving portion of the
streets of that city.

THE PRIDE
OF PAYET1E

There is nothing that gives more
pleasing impression to the stranger,
or to the people at home, than
beautiful flower garden. The little
park in the center OF the street near
the passenger depot is beautiful
ornament to the city While the
space is small, one could spend
hours admiring the many varieties
and delicate shadeg of bloom. A
feature of this beautiful ornament,
which should not be overlooked. is
the fact that it is really no ones
duty TO plant the flowers and give
them proper care. and only for the
generosity of Clark Brothers, flor
lists, and Gill Bros. Seed company of
Portland. Oregon, who furnished
most of the bulbs and seeds at
sacrifice price, accepting the small
amount contributed by employees of
the railroad and small donation
from the commercial club, regard
less of value, it would not have been
done. There are probably 200 diff
ferent varieties and shades OF flow
ers, some of very expensive kind.
1t makes a very inviting entrance to
the city and might be improved il

street in the next block was seeded
to blue grass and kept in shape.
