From “Boomerang.”
PAYETTE, October 8th, 1884

LEADER:  Owing to our big boom I have not had time to give you any letters of 
late, but will try and do better in the future.  Since my last our little city 
has donated cash enough to build a fine school house, and the carpenter’s 
hammers are now playing tunes on nails putting it up.  Messrs. King, Gorrie and 
Moss were appointed building committee, and they are sending work along at a 
fearful rate.  It is feared (by some of the small boys) that the school house 
will be ready for business inside of a week.  Donations in money and work have 
been liberal.  The committee succeeded in jumping two good lots in Boomerang 
for school house purposes.  The patrons of the school are fortunate in securing 
a thoroughly competent teacher, as we understand they have secured the services 
of the Rev. Alex McPherson, of Visalia, California, for the coming winter’s 
school.  He comes highly recommended from California, having a life diploma 
from the state board of education; also local recommendations.  This is doing 
much toward settling and making our town permanent and supplying a want long 
felt by the parents of the numerous children in the neighborhood.  Among other 
improvements of late is Drury’s residence.  Mr. J. F. Reed’s drug store is 
about ready for opening, and he is putting lumber on the ground for a good 
substantial store and residence.  Messrs. Phillips, Frame & Co. have located 
and started a lumber yard.  These, with various minor improvements, make the 
burg look quite lively.  The railroad company are working quite a force on the 
tie yard taking out ties for the front and places east. 

More anon,
BOOMERANG.
