Special Agent Examining Routes at Payette
 
SOME CHANGES SUGGESTED
 
Everything Will Be Working Smoothly in a Short Time -- Other Payette News
 
Payette, Nov. 27 -- J. H. Ormsby, a special agent, has been here for several 
days and has made arrangements (unreadable) up the rural free delivery.  The 
route will be to New Plymouth and (unreadable)   Shoup has been asked to have 
the Falk's Store Carrier changed so as to only come as far as New Plymouth and 
connect with the carrier from Payette and then go from New Plymouth to Emmett, 
thus creating a route from Falk's Store to Emmett, a distance of 12 miles.  
Mr. Ormsby thought it would require several months to have everything in good 
working order.
 
The coal famine is on again and it is worse than some time ago.  Payette has 
no wood and what little coal a few have left several other fellows are trying 
to get at night.
 
R. M. Renshaw of Boise came yesterday and went out to his large cattle ranch.
 
W. Welbey of Southport, England is a new arrival and the guest of his friend, 
Michael Harris, at Toole's ranch.
 
James Welch, Sr., returned last evening from Blackfoot, where he has been 
helping to clean up at his Placer Mine.  He reports the clean up much better 
than last year and prospects show that it will be better next year.
 
Payette came very near having a fire.  One of our barbers sent a small boy for 
kerosene and not knowing what kerosene was he forgot and could think of 
nothing but gasoline.  The barber filled his lamp, and when it burned too high 
he threw it out before it exploded or did any damage.
