and she chased him off the yards in al
effort to get hold of him. I'll write yol
again from Boise tomorrow. Don't for
get to tend to the COW.

P.S. She will need some bran twic,
a day.
Dear Bill and Sue:
When l said l would write yol
again didn't intend to do it, but an
feeling more like writing now and
think you ought to be considering how
much good it might do you to 60 to th'
Worlds Fair. If you do, of course you
trip will lead over pretty much the same
territory that cover, but it will no
rest your nerves nor improve your appe
tite to have me do it for you.
The train that leaves Pocatelle in the
morning is called "Number Five" and it's
dandy. You get to see all of Idaho
and some of Oregon in the same day
but you go through the Canyon of the
Columbia at night. 1t is good side
trip to go to Boise and by leaving there
in the night you pass through the Can
yon of the Columbia in daylight, which is
worth the price of farm in itself. (Smal
farm, of course). When got into Boise
l saw Geo. E. Champ of Logan Utah
who loans money to people on Lost
River. Then l saw D. r. McNaughton
who came out from Colorado with Harl
S. Kittle, the immigration agent and
has been looking all over three states fol
the very best place to settle. He has
concluded that it is all good, and that
he may return to eastern Idaho early in
June to buy Carey lands.
1 met Geo. Rogers, G. E. Arney, ex.
governor Steunenberg, C.J. Bassett, M
S. Parker, Guy Flenner Richards and z
N. Vaughn the irrigation engineer.
don't mention them as having been hon
ored by meeting me, because they could
MT help it anyhow, but as I have said
before, just mention them in passing
met. Bert Whittier who reports fol
the Statesman, and he gave good ac
count of himself, and of his brother Ar
thur who was once our county school
superintendent. He is now the provin-
cial treasurer of the Province of Samar,
and is located at Chatbalogan, which by
the way is in the Philippine Islands.
was talk ng with COL Allen Miller,
the Commissioner of immigration, and
he expressed some anxiety about the
advertising matter to be used in ans
wering inquiries from homeseekers. We
ought to hurry and get it printed. I
saw report from Kansas City indicat
ing heavy travel to Portland in June,
and large per centage of farmers and
stockmen interested in western lands.
COL Vickers was telling me he had ar-
piled for an encampment of the State
MALTA at Boise in July. He was saying
too, that Blackfoot is doing very fine
thing in building an armory. Says we
can't realize what benefit it will be till
we get to using it. Did you know E.
Williams the assayer at Challis? l just
saw w. w. Adamson and he had tele-
gram from Milt Brown saying that Will
liams had died out on Loon Creek May
Gath. met Lizzie Ziegler on the street
and she said she expects to return to
Blackfoot to live. Also saw Miss Shafer
from Mackay and j. E. Hicks the build
er of telephone lines. Ate dinner with
E. B. Critchelow from Twin Falls, and
then rang up Mrs. s. H. Hayes who used
to teach in the Blackfoot school, and
said hello to her and all the little Hay
eses. Sam was not at home or I'd have
helloed to him too. If l get time l will
run up to the house to see them. Iwant
to see if can tell the twins apart VIII n
have them both together. l guess
that's all for this time-except the COW. !
I suppose you are milking the old 'sookle'
twice day. Give her my regards at
chore time. At present writing I am,
Yours Truly
Don.
