Plans to meet in the former Fruitland High School building were announced to Fruitland Chamber of Commerce members and guests by the association’s president, Dee Klenck of Payette. Klenck, a former Payette business operator, has invested more than a decade of time and effort in establishing the Idaho Hall of Fame which recognizes the Gem State’s most distinguished, from corporate America’s giants to the sports world’s greatest players to inventors and researchers whose contributions left their marks on society. Harmon Killebrew, Payette’s own baseball star who distinguished himself first with the Washington Senators and later with the Minnesota Twins, is among the early Idaho Hall of Fame inductees, as is Philo Farnsworth whose invention gave the world television. This year’s list of inductees is to be decided soon by a committee headed by University of Idaho librarian emeritus Richard Beck. On the induction candidates’ list are the late Carroll Meteer Shanks, Payette High School graduate distinguished by his business acumen and his Prudential Insurance Co. presidency, and Lewis Sarett of Viola the discoverer of synthetic cortisone which today wears the Merck pharmaceutical label. With the passage and enactment of Idaho Senate Bill 1242 in 1997, during the final hours of the Idaho Legislature’s 54th session, Idaho became the first state to have its an institution honoring the human contribution on a widely diverse scale, according to Klenck. The bill creating the Idaho Hall of Fame also sent its funding mechanism in motion and empowered its advisory board to oversee development of a permanent facility, a place to showcase memorabilia donated or loaned by inductees. Federal 501 (C3) designation allows the nonprofit institution to accept donations and sell memberships as fund-raising methods. Velma Morrison, the widow of Morrison-Knudson founder Harry Morrison, and Albertson’s have already made major contributions. Klenck and others on the board are meeting today in the Idaho Department of Commerce facilities to select a master of ceremonies for September’s annual gathering, as well as to work out program details. Kleck seems no less excited today about the future of the Idaho Hall of Fame than she was in 1985, when the concept was formed. She has been able to measure considerable progress, especially since 1992 when Pocatello donated an eight-acre site for the organization’s permanent home. The dream is to build a replica of the Idaho exposition which was built when Chicago hosted the 1893 Columbian Exhibition. The World’s Fair structure, designed by Spokane’s famous architect Kirtland K. Cotter, used some 90-foot-long cedar logs which later were cut up for bumper stickers after the building’s purchaser donated the structure to Wisconsin state officials. Klenck expects the fund-raising to build the replica to take considerable time, but she believes the effort to be worthwhile. Meanwhile, she and others are trying to establish a traveling Idaho Hall of Fame memorabilia collection which can be placed on loan in all of the state’s 44 counties, to allow any state resident to share in “honoring the spirit of Idaho,” a phrase Klenck likes to use. Klenck said “Idahoans on loan to the world” is her favorite in the list of descriptive comments she heard along the way as others talked about the Idaho Hall of Fame inductees. The fact the September gathering will be the Idaho Hall of Fame’s fifth annual session, Klenck offered, also reinforces a promise of the institution becoming permanent.

HARD WORK SAVED A BLOCK Which Seemed Doomed to Destruction By the Flames—Citizens Who Were First on the Ground and Worked Like Trojans to Save Property. About 4:30 o’clock Tuesday morning a fire broke out in a frame building on Front street, occupied by Thos. Frakes’ barber shop. The second story was occupied by several men as sleeping apartments, and in other portions of the building was stored the camp and river outfits and supplies of Ed. Stanley, the logger. The chairs, mirrors and razors of the barber shop were all gotten out, and Mr. Frakes’ loss was not much more than $25. All of Mr. Stanley’s effects were burned and his loss will reach $350 or $400. The building was erected as a cost of about $800 and was owned by Jacob Lemp. Benny Betts, the porter at Hotel Idaho, was the first to discover the fire which made its appearance on the north side of the building near the second floor. With any sort of a hook and ladder company the fire could have been controlled and the building and contents saved. But there was not even a ladder to be had, and those who were promptly on hand and ready to do, worked at a great disadvantage. Mr. Lauer kindly threw open his hardware store and furnished axes, buckets and anything that could be used. Dave Lambert, John Hart, T??? Wright and Frank Moyer, who were rooming in the upper story, had a pretty close call, but when they got out they did valiant work to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings. Wm. F. Eberle, D. S. Lamme, A. J. Quackenbush, Dr. Branthoover, Fred Marquardsen, Chris Henrichsen, Travis Brown and Robert Lydston all deserve especial credit for their well-directed efforts in saving much valuable property.

IT IS A PROFITABLE SESSION Ten Churches Represented and Ten New Churches Admitted Into the Organization. The 13th session of the First Baptist Association of Idaho, convened in this city on the evening of September 22d. A permanent organization was perfected by the election of Rev. I. S Hicks, of Caldwell, moderator; Mrs. B. F. Cook, of Boise, Clerk; C. Ellsworth, of Boise, treasurer. Representation of the ten churches of the association were present, and ten new churches were received in the organization. The work of the body continued until Sabbath evening with preaching by the pastors of the various churches. The reports indicate much prosperity and three new houses of worship in process of erection. Great interest was taken in the discussion of the reports of committees on House and Foreign Missions, Sabbath schools, etc. The report of Rev. J. C. Burroughs, general missionary, indicated a year full of earnest, consecrated and successful labor. As to who the appointee for his work the ensuing year will be, it not yet decided, but it is understood an appointment will be made at an early day. The sum of $350 was raised during the sitting of the body toward defraying expenses. On Sabbath afternoon a Sabbath-school convention was organized to meet annually in connection with the association, or oftener, in the interest of Sabbath schools. By request of his church at Portland, the ministers of the association ordained to the full work of the ministry Rev. B. Frank Lynn. This gentleman will proceed at once to Bellevue to take charge of the church at that place. The next meeting of this body will be held with the church at Boise City, one year from this. Great harmony and brotherly kindness was displayed in this meeting and the parting hand Sabbath evening was grasped with much regret.

Mr. Grothe writes us as follows: “I hear that some remarks I made at the meeting for voting the special school tax on the 4th inst., were understood by some to throw doubt on the integrity of the school trustees. Nothing could be further from my mind than to say anything of the kind against men who have for several years given their services to the public without any reward; who have honestly and conscientiously discharged the duties of the office to which they were elected, and who deserve the full confidence of the public. The fact is, an unwarranted remark had been made in my hearing, outside of the meeting, which attacked the honor of a former member of the school board, and this made me think that such slanderous attacks might be avoided, or could easily be refuted if all persons having public funds to administer, would supply the fullest information in their power as to the way in which such funds had been handled by them. I still think so, and if, as I have! since been informed, the machinery of our present laws makes it almost impossible for the trustees to publish full accounts, it is time for the people to insist upon the legislature taking this matter up.”

(partial) The boys of the Golding Hop ranch have a pet eagie that is beginning to fly, and he sometimes follows them nearly to town. Don’t shoot the bird if you find him loitering along the road. He is not a chicken thief. John S. Thurston, of Payette, Idaho, sends to this office a copy of the PAYETTE INDEPENDENT, containing an account of a big cucumber and a mammouth watermelon. The cucumber weighs 17 pounds and was grown in 45 days. The watermelon weighs 136 pounds. Mr. Thurston evidently has a grudge against this office and wants to show us how happy he is in his prosperity, feasting on the fat of the land, while the drouth here has not left us a decent cucumber. That is a nice country out in Idaho. The soil is very prolific and it was out there that Jack the Giant Killer raised his famous hill of beans. If the wind don’t blow your hair off or the flying sand put out your eyes you can have a right good time in Idaho.—Central City, (Neb.) Democrat. Bert Gilmore, son of the proprietor of the Gilmore House, met with an accident Monday afternoon that resulted in a broken leg. He was assisting Billy Barrett in tearing down a chimney on the Zimmerman & Adam building, which is now being remodeled for James Lauer’s new store. It seems that the ladder gave way, and Bert went tumbling to the ground, with bricks, boards and Barrett on top of him. His left leg was broken just above the ankle and one of his fingers was badly mashed. He was carried home where Dr. Stephenson set the broken limb and dressed the finger, and soon had the boy resting as comfortable as could have been expected under the circumstances. Bert is a popular little fellow with all the boys and girls and they will be very glad to see him out again. Barrett was not hurt to speak of by the fall.

We understand the receipts of the evening were entirely satisfactory to the ladies of the Guild, and that they could have disposed of more refreshments than had been prepared for the occasion. We haven’t seen a nicer company of people together in Payette for a long time and everybody seemed to be getting value received so far as a general good time was co! ncerned.

They were loath to give up the prospect of a free ride without a struggle and one of the fellows proceeded to engage the brakeman in a little fistic encounter. Sheriff Ireton, who was just ready to get on the train, stepped in and confronted the hurricane deck pilgrim with a formidable six-shooter. The sheriff was not decked out in the royal robes of office that are supposed to distinguish a high sheriff from a common herd, and the stranger didn’t appreciate having a common duffer with legs encased in overalls, take such liberties with him, hence he continued his warlike demonstrations until reminded of his mistake by a sharp rap over the knuckles by the sheriff’s gun. The tramps were then turned over to Deputy Marshal Windle and locked up in the town jail.

Surnames: Coates, Moss, McIlveen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/3423 Message Board Post: Payette Independent Payette, Idaho Friday, February 19, 1904 Dan Coates An Inventor. D. B. Coates, the well known wool grower and ranchman of Little Willow, has blossomed out into a full fledged inventor and has had the success to get tapped off by producing a device, which, while not calculated to bring him as much glory as would a flying maching, is so thoroughly practical and decidedly useful in this section of country, that it is sure to bring him a great deal more of the coin of the realm. Mr. Coates’ invention is an automatic alarm to be used in frightening away coyotes during the lambing season and anyone who has seen it operate cannot doubt that it will prove to be of immense value to the sheepmen, saving them from a great per cent of loss by the ravages of the skulking denizens of the sagebrush. The alarm is very simple in construction. It consists of a set of ten steel barrels, diverging from a central hub like spokes of a wagon wheel, over which is a wooden frame and on this frame is a glass case, serving as a protection for a candle. When the alarm is put into operation the candle is lighted and as it burns down it is so arranged that it severs twine strings, which are attached to strong springs connecting with the steel barrels, which have been loaded with charges of powder. As the strings are broken, the springs, suddenly released, strike upon ordinary gun caps fitting, over touch-holes in the barrels, causing the powder to explode with a loud report. By using slow burning candles and several of the alarms it is understood a shot can be fired every ten minutes throughout the night. Another advantage is that a strong odor of burned powder is produced by the discharge. Mr. Coates recently completed the model of his first machine, which he has named the “Shepard Alarm,” and applied for a patent. Several days ago he visited Boise and arranged for the manufacturing of the alarms with the result that they will be on the market almost immediately. He has arranged with D. D. McIlveen of Payette to act as his agent in handling the alarms and for the next week the latter will have one of them on exhibition at the Moss Mercantile store where they may be seen by those interested.

Mr. Frank Nesbit, the well known and successful farmer of Falk’s Store, was in town this week doing jury duty. Mr. Nesbit has 160 acres of land bordering on the Payette river, which he is devoting largely to stock purposes. He has a dairy of twelve or fifteen cows and finds a ready market at 25 to 30 cents the year round for the good quality butter that he produces. Mr. Nesbit is also paying some attention to hog raising and believes that there is money in this, even at 4 cents per pound live weight. He fattens largely on alfalfa pasture, with ground feed, either chopped wheat or barley, to put the finishing touches on the pork. Mr. Nesbit stated that he had already been offered 5 cents a pound for his porkers delivered at Caldwell November 1st.—Argus.

The Entire Payette Valley Connected by Telephone. Emmett Index. On last Saturday Mr. Ross of the Payette Irrigation company, came up to Emmett to superintend the putting in of a phone at this place on the company’s line. The phone that has been in the head-gate house was taken out and put in E. K. Hayes & Co’s store, which places Payette and Emmett with in talking distance of each other. There are some eight or ten offices along the line between here and Payette and it will prove a great convenience to the entire valley. Owing to an arrangement with the Bell Telephone people the company are not permitted to use the line for profit. It was intended for their exclusive use but the Index is informed that while they will not for the present make a business of allowing the public to use the line, that as an accommodation any one having occasion to use it will not be denied the privilege. As soon as the Caldwell and Emmett line is in arrangements can perhaps be made to handle public patronage. Such little things as a tele! phone may not amount to much in big cities like Caldwell, but so far as little places like Emmett are concerned we feel like having a regular Fourth of July celebration over the advent of such improvements.

The sound of the whistle at Coughanour’s big saw mill, a few mornings since, announcing that the machinery had been started for the season’s business, was music to the ears of Payette people. It is a big enterprise, one that is backed by an abundance of capital and an experienced manager. It will employ a large force of men and disburse large sums of money, all of which will add to the general prosperity of the community. It is an old saying that the town with a pay roll is solid, and it is a true saying too. What we want to see is more institutions that will furnish employment for laboring men, and the citizen who invests his capital in such enterprises is a public benefactor.

An Itinerant Printer Killed by a Negro—Shot In the Abdomen. Thursday’s Statesman publishes the following account of a tragedy which occurred at Falk’s Store, at two o’clock on Tuesday morning: A two A. M. on Tuesday, at Falk’s Store, in this county, a negro whose name could not, last night, be learned, shot and mortally wounded W. W. Leeper, a wandering printer. The negro will be examined at Falk’s Store to-day, and will in all likelihood be committed to the jail in this city. It is said that the killing was the culmination of previous trouble, and as both men were armed at the time, this report is quite probable. Leeper, the negro and others, had been sleeping in the same house at Falk’s Store, and at the time of the tragedy Leeper and one or two companions were in the place. The negro came up to the house, and Leeper, who heard him approaching, told his companion that he would not let him enter and that he would frighten him away. The negro opened the door, and as he did so, Leeper fired a shot into the air. The negro immediately raised a gun and fired a charge of buckshot into Leeper’s bowels. The injured man writhed in agony for twelve hours and then he died. The negro, who was an employe of Mr. Stewart, was arrested and taken to Emmett. Leeper was well known in Boise, having hung around the town for several months. He was for a time employed in the composing room of the Statesman office, but was finally dropped from the rolls of the printers’ union because of his failure to pay the requested dues. He was addicted to the excessive use of morphine, and had other vices, but was not at all quarrelsome. He was about twenty-seven years of age and unmarried.
