PAYETTE. CANYON COUNTY, IDAHO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1910.
Large Crowd Attends Reception to Governor at Y. M. C.
A.—200 Men Set Down to Banquet Table in the Ev
_ .
emng—A Successful and Enthusiastic Ooservance or
the Anniversary.
!
Saturday was a great day for Pay
ette and a sa f ' 'tying one for those
that have worked the hardest for the
success of the Y. M. C. A. movement
in Payette. That evening marked
the anniversary of the completion of
the building and Governor James H.
Brady was the guest of honor on the
occasion.
The Governor came down from
».oise on the Pony in the morning
and was met at the train by a dele
gation of business men and Y. M. C.
A. workers who escorted him to the
Commercial hotel. At eleven o'clock
the Governor accompanied by about
forty of the business men, and Y. M.
C. A. workers went for a trip over
the Payette Valley railroad. Short
stops were made at Fruitland and
New Plymouth and at both places the
governor talked to goodly sized
crowds. !
Returning to Payette a number
lunched with the Governor at the ho
tel after which a reception was held
at the Y. M. C. A. building when a
large number of Payette residents
and farmers with their wives greet
ed the governor. In the receiving
line stood Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Brain
ard. Senator and Mrs. Shawhan, May
or and Mrs. W. A. Coughanour, Gen
eral and Mrs. L. V. Patch, Mr. and
Mrs. D. C. Chase and Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Boehmer.
In the evening plates were laid for
4,50 men in the gymnasium of the Y.
M. C. A. and there was not a vacant
»»plate. After a complete enjoyment
the viands which had been prepar
ed by the Ladies' Auxiliary to the
Y. M. 0., A. M. F. Albert as chair
man announced that the heads of the
various committees would report and
talks were made by Col. Patch, R. E.
D. D. Hambly, Will Kirk.
Haynes,
Frank Cram and Secretary, Morley.
All these reports were of a saticfac
tory nature and tended to show that
the Y. M. C. A. has accomplished
great good; in Payette.
After the chairmen of all the regu
lar committees had reported Chair
man Albert introduced Governor Bra
dy as the chief speaker of the even
ing who was enthusiastically received
by the crowd.
The Governor made a decided im
He has
tie worker in Y. M. C. A. circles in
his home town Pocatello and gave
some interesting statistics about the
work in Pocatello and also some na
tional statistics regarding the growth
and work of the institution. He call
ed attention to the fact that Payette
occupied a unique position in the Y.
M. C. A. world in, Idaho. Three towns
pression on those present,
long been known to be an enthusias
in the state have Y. M. C. A. build
ings, Boise, Pocatello and Payette.
Quite a distinction for a city this
size to be one of three cities in a
state like Idaho to have their own
buildings.
In his address after giving the sta
tistics the governor said in part:

its aitns are to uplift, broaden and
ennoble the life of every young man
in this broad land.

State Secretary I. B. Rhodes made
the last talk of the evening being an
appeal for closer, better work and not
to be afraid of getting too much re

He stated he had known failures to
be made from lack of religious ten

letter day for the hustling little town
of Fruitland, Idaho, on the Payette
Valley railroad. It marked the open
ing of the Fruitland State Bank a
new financial institution for the Pay
ette Valley capitalized at $10,000.
The board of directors for the new
concern C. H. Sargent, President; E.
E. Hunter, Vice-President; J. O.
Scritchfield, Cashier; O. H. McConnel
and C. W. Yonug are with the excep
tion of J. O. Scritchfield, Cashier,
well know fruit growers on
bench and men in whom the residents
of Fruitland and vicinity have the
greatest confidence.
Mr. J. O. Scritchfield, is a new-comer
to this valley having come here last
summer from Oklahoma where he was
engaged in the banking business and
comes recommended as a young man
of high business ability in this line.
The new concern is housed in
its own building a handsome little
structure of stone and white pressed
brick trimmed in red brick, contain
ing a general business room, a direc
tors' room and a fire-proof vault.
Within this vault a 3500 pound Man
ganese steel safe with the latest tri
ple time lock constitutes the arrange
ments the bank has made for the pro
tection of its depositors.
On this the opening day one hun
dred of hte growers on the bench
visited the new bank and registered
in the visitors register provided and
were shown the vault, safe and other
conveniences of the institution. With
out any particular effort being made
along this line by the management
$4,000 were deposited on this the first
day and the indications are that the
new bank will do a fine business
from the very start.
The President C. H. Sargent and
the Cashier J. O. Scritchfield were
the hosts of the occasion and every
caller that smoked was given a good
cigar while the ladies were given a
bag of English walnuts. A fine note

was the reception to Governor Brady

center of some of the best orchard
land in the Payette Vallel and is sur
rounded on all sides by thrifty bear
ing orchards, young ones coming in
to bearing and acres of rich alfalfa
fields that need only the planting of
the trees to turn them into profita
ble commercial orchards.
Four years ago there was one house
at Fruitland and much of the land
was little better than raw land. To
day the town has a bank, a drug
store, a meat market, a dry goods
store, a general store, a lumber yard,
a grocery and hardware store, a con
fectionery, cigar and tobacco store
combined with a pool hall, a fine
eight room brick school house and
three religious denominations are rep
resented, the Brethren, Methodists
and Baptists.
In and around Fruitland land in the
past two years has made almost phe
nominal advances and good alfalfa
land at present is selling at from
$300 to $600 per acre, while many
instances are recorded of $1,000 per
acre being offered for some of the
bearing orchards in that vicinity and
being refused.
With the coming of the Idaho Cen
tral Railroad which places Fruitland
on the main line of railroad there is
much to expect for this progressive
little city whose people are determin
ed to build a modern little city. They
are fast learning to be boosters down
that way and are reaching out for ev
erything that should be theirs.
Monday E. A. Stegner received his
supplies for the new postoffice and
while as yet the mail has not been
ordered sent there it is but a mat
ter of a few days until Fruitland
w*ill be on the map for sure in this
respect and a letter addressed to that
vicinity instead of bearing the ad
dress Route No. 1 aPyette will bear
simply, Fruitland, Idaho.
The new bank being owned wholly
by local people is evidence that it
will be run for the benefit of and in
the intersets of that community and
being located where condRions ob
tain such as do at Fruitland there
can be no question as to the prosper
ity that awaits it
MILITARY BALL
PLEASANT AFFAIR
The first annual military ball giv
en by the members of Company I.
on the evening of Washington's birth
day proved to be one of the most
brilliant and pleasant affairs of the
season and had the crowd attending
been much larger it would have been
impossible to accommodate them in
the Elite Opera, house.
The hall had been tastefully deco
rated with the national colors while
the stage stacked arms and a
tent gave a military air indeed. Faul
kenstein's orchestra furnished their
usual excellent dance music and the
floor was in excellent condition.
The members of Company I. de
serve praise for the manner in which
they entertained their guests and the
ball will go down in the minds of
those present as quite the most en
joyable event of the season and they
will look forward with considerable
on
anticipation for the next annual
event.
