From Payette.
Payette, May 6th, 1884

LEADER:  Our little town still lives through the dull season, and as 
arrangements have been completed to-day for one of the finest saw mills in 
Idaho to be erected here, it looks as though we will weather the storm.  
Messrs. Phillip Frame & Co. have superseded Mr. Goldtrap in the milling 
business, as that gentleman was a little trady in his movements in regard to 
beginning operations in Payette as he anticipated doing.  First come, first 
served at Payette, so look out and do not get left.  The machinery will be 
unloaded at Payette on the 8th instant, for a large saw mill, shingle mill, 
planer, & c., all being new and as complete an outfit as can be found in the 
territory.  The company have completed arrangements to saw the logs now being 
delivered in Coe & Carter’s boom, about 6000 in all.  This being part of the 
drive made by Messrs. Coe & Carter to the railroad last season.  The milling 
company propose putting about one million feet of logs on their own account. 
(Tally one for Boomerang.)

Nothing has transpired of any importance since our landlord, Mr. David S. Lamb, 
turned his boarders out on the range, when Mr. W. R. Smith, the new landlord, 
succeeded in corralling and branding the greater portion of them, only a few 
escaping.  Mr. Lamb enters the ring as a merchant at Boomerang.  All wish him 
success.

Yours, 
BOOMERANG.
