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.
