Thumb-Mail Sketch of Mayor R. E. Haynes,
Representative Type of Payette Valley Citizens and Shining Example of the 
Possibilities of this Section.

A handful of words will give the reader an idea of what manner of man the new 
mayor of Payette is.  He is at once representative and illustrative of the 
grand possibilities of Payette and its enframing empire.  Moreover, the fact 
that his citizenship here has been crowded into something less than four years 
is its own handsome commentary on the character of the man and the way he has 
raced into the hearts and confidence of his fellow citizens.  This is a turning 
point in the history, by the way, when the mayorship of the rapidly growing 
city of Payette calls for a clean cut choice of attitude on all vital public 
questions, such, indeed, as the new mayor is richly endowed with, for he is 
simultaneously the embodiment of public enterprise and immaculately clean 
citizenship.  His one ambition is the healthful advancement of the region of 
his new home, and the betterment of his fellow citizens, financially and 
morally.

Enviable the record of his achievements since Payette became his home.  He was 
the master energy in organizing the Payette Independent Telephone company, an 
institution which has truly been a boon to the business men and the settlers of 
all the country side, as it brings Payette and New Plymouth and the farmers and 
ranchers in all the surrounding country within chatting distance of each other, 
at the minimum charge of only $1.25.  Moreover, it gives them access to the 
outside world, be means of long distance telephone connection.  Mr. Haynes is 
the present secretary and general manager of the company, and is also secretary 
of the New Plymouth Land and Colonization Co., and the Idaho-Oregon 
Colonization company.

Mr. Haynes is a native of Ohio.  Moved to Washington, Ind. in 1866.  Attended 
the State Agricultural College, at La Fayette, Ind. and migrated to Idaho in 
1901, from Kansas, where he had been railroading for 15 years. 

Mr. Haynes has handsomely demonstrated his faith in the soil and in the future 
of this section by purchasing two ranches of 140 acres, on the bench all gilt 
edge land. 

A special work has been taken up by Mr. Haines in the education of young men in 
the practical duties of life.  

His father was prominent in politics, and law and we find Mr. Haines a town and 
state maker by predilection and training, and can but congratulate the state, 
and especially Payette on his citizenship.
