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

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

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.
