RAILROADS HAUL WATER TO STRICKEN TOWNS Western Kansas and Nebraska Burn ing Up Says Cowen J. B. Gowen, who recently returned from Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebras ka. states that western Kansas and Nebraska are so dry that one could set the whole country on lire with a match. Railroads are hauling water for drinking purposes to the small towns west of Topeka. Mr. Gowen concluded for the seventeenth time in as many years that there was no climate in the country quite so good as this section of Idaho. He says: "Of course it takes an irrigated country a little longer to get started but it is worth the while. Here the worst we have are crops a little be low average. There is 110 total fail ure such as there is in Kansas and Nebraska. We always raise some hay and some grain and a small crop here is larger and better than a large crop there. Forty bushels of wheat per acre is not a large or unusual crop in southern Idaho, while 20 bushels is in Kansas. "The people of Boise valley," con tinued Mr. Gowen, "must feed their hay and grain ri^ht here at home. Not a pound should be shipped. We can fatten hogs, sheep and cattle right here and it will not lie long until U is done. Sonic one will undertake it in a year or two—this winter I hope— and when once it is done successful ly on a large scale, the future pros perity of the section is assured. "Look at the dairy industry. All it needed was a Rood start. As soon as the farmers found out that dairying was a success in the Boise valley all the farmers were anxious to get cows. In this till c y were encouraged and helped bv the banks and business men. This is destined to be one of the greatest dairy sections in the world-" , Mr. Gowen was secretary of the Commercial club when the dairy in dustry was given its first impetus. He, personally, was highly instrumen tal in interesting the farmers, business men and bankers of the city. Natur ally he takes pride in the growth and development of the dairy industry in this section. Home Destroyed by Fire. Chas. Milliner is in receipt of_a let ter from his brother, George W. Mil liner, who resides at Salt Lake, in which he says that his home was de stroyed by lire Friday morning. 1 he origin or cause of Plie fire is unknown. The loss will amount to several thous and dollars partially covered by in surance. Mr. Milliner and family formerly lived in Caldwell. GOOD telephone service depends largely upon mu tual courtesy. The telephone is more useful to those who talk as if face to face, for civility removes difficulties and facilitates the promptest possible connections. As in other intercourse, it often happens that two or more people wish to talk with the same person at the same time. Without courtesy confusion is inevitable, and the confusion is greater when people cannot see each other. The operators must be patient and polite under all circumstances, but they will do better work if they meet patience and politeness on the part of the telephone users. The bell Telephone service enters intimately into the social and business life of each individual. The best results come through the practice of mutual courtesy.
