Telephone Companies Consolidated
at Boise, Idaho.

The Idaho Statesman, published
at Boise, Idaho, in their editorial
column, under date of May %, 1911,
has the following to say with refer
ence to the consolidation of the two
telephone companies at Boise:
"The nuisance of a double tele-
phone system in Boise will have been
abated when the merger of the local
business of the Bell and the Indepen-
dent companies shall be completed
1t is the sensible thing to do. While
each company has given a good SER
vice, a better service is desired by
the telephone people and by their
patrons, and it is possible only un-
der some such reorganization as that
outlined in Sundays paper. 1t will
also be possible for the stockhold-
ers to realize something out of their
investment from the local telephone
field. The telephone business is a
natural monopoly and 1t is only as
such that it can succeed and give
satisfactory service to the people.
The only advantage telephone COM
pany enjoys from being a monopoly
is in having an undisturbed field
wherein to garner reasonable profits
for none other are possible. Tele-
phones are rented only when the ser
vice is satisfactory and the charge
fair. One strong organization in
community like this can make fair
profit and furnish a splendid service.
With two there is no profit for eth
er, the service Is not what 1t should
be and the public Is annoyed by the
double system. No one wants the
kitchen cluttered up with two ranges.
Then. why two ?"-Adv.

MANY NC CROSKEYS
GATHER IN PULLMAN
birthday of Prominent Pullman
Booster Attracts Fifty Members
of McCrOskey Family.

A notable birthday party was held
at the home of George McCroskey,
adjoining Pullman on the south, Tues
day, when 80 members of the Nc
Croskey family gathered from all
parts of the Palouse country to cele-
brate the occasion. They came on
trains, in carriages and automobiles
and spent the day in feasting and
pleasure. The occasion was the
hftieth anniversary of the birth Of
George McCroskey, one of the first
settlers and best known farmers of
Whitman county.
Nearly all of the McCroskeys in
this section of the state were pres
ent. OF the men who attended all
but one is a McCroskey and this one,
Mr.. Horswill, married the widow of
William McCroskey, brother of
George, who died many years ago.
Hon. II. G. McCroskey, of Garfield,
was the patriarch" of the gathering,
being uncle of all of the other Me
fCroskeys present with but one or two
exceptions. Those present who bear
the name were: r. c. McCroskey,
Garfield, uncle; Frank, of Oakesdale;
Fred, of Sprague; Robert, Milton;
and Virgil, of Colfax. the five last
named being brothers of George;
Sam, county auditor, and Marshal, an
attorney of Colfax, cousins of the
host. These, with their families and
other relatives made total of nearly
90 who attended the celebration.
James McCroskey, and brother, liv-
ing at Sprague, and a sister, living
In Spokane, were the only near rela-
tives who were not present.
George McCroskey is one of the
best known and most prosperous of
the early settlers of this country. He
came here with his parents in 1878,
and the family located on what is
now known as Tennessee Flat"
near the town Of Steptoe. George is
the second son of the late j. p. r.
McCroskey, who is credited with
having brought more people to the
Palouse country than any man who
ever lived here. The family came
from Tennessee to San Francisco by
train, thence by boat to Portland.
where a river steamer was taken to
Almota and the remainder of the
journey was made by team. Spo-
kane was unheard of at that time
and there were no railroads north
of Snake river. Mr.. McCroskey Sc
cured a homestead and bought rail
road land with the profits from his
crops and the money earned by work
ing on the railroads that were built
into the northwest in the early "80s"
until he now owns $40 acres with
fine home near Oakesdale: 800 acres
of well improved land near SteptOe,
and $50 acres adjoining Pullman
Mr.. McCroskey is an enthusiast over
the prospects of eastern Washington
His sentiments were we'll defined in
statement he made recently to an
gent who tried to sell him some
mining stock, when he said; Il will
invest in Palouse country land or in
anything that will help Pullman,
Oakesdale or the Palouse country. I
know such investments are absolutely
safe, but l will never invest one dol
lar outside of the great Palouse
country"

Many Horses Now on Hand

Cid Benning continues to be a favorite
winter training ground for the handlers
OF thoroughbreds. and already there are
a number of horses on hand. and many
of them are In active training preparing
for the race meeting OF the Charleston
Fair and Racing Association, which Is
to begin January 10.
Albert Slmons at this time has the
most important stable at the old course,
having just received shipment OF four
teen of the Harry Payne whitney year
lings from Brookdale. The youngsters
were brought down by Tom Green, who
for years was foreman for James Rowe
when he trained the James r. Keene
string SO successfully that the stable
headed the winning list for five success
sive seasons. The trip from the New
Jersey farm was uneventful. and all of
the horses were unloaded in good shape.
Fit Them for Meet.
1t is intended by SImons to fit them
for the early meeting Of the Maryland
Jockey Club at Pimlico in the spring.
They are destined to race on this side
of the Atlantic, and, beginning at Pim-
lico. they will be ready for anything
that Is offered in racing way during
1912.

chased almost the entire output OF

who for many seasons has been a Ben

quarters, bur he has made his reserva.
tions and promises that he will be along
with the largest string he ever trained
IN the spring. At present he has the
horses at his farm, and they will run
out until he elects to begin the early
the horses-and he has fifty to train

w. p. Burch, who has just returned
from Charleston, reported that the work
on the new track was progressing rapid
~, and although recently a spell of bad
wea ther had been a serious handicap
the course would surely be ready for ths
advertised opening.
Tyree Ships Yearlings.
DR.. J. S. Tyree has shipped eight year,
lings from Lexington, Ky. They were
purchased from C. w. Moore. and are
all by MCGEE and likely looking lot

along in a way to indicate that they
could be fitted for the races on short
notice.
At present the principal business a;

for Charleston, and every morning there
are several under saddle showing really
good work. -
Not a few of the horses that will win
