Getting Acquainted.

The Times was favored last week by a
call from II. F. Story, publicity mana
ger OF the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Co., with headquarters at
Denver, and Earl l.. Taylor, state repre-
sentative OF the company. These gen
tlemen are on what might be termed a
get-acquainted trip, and at the same time
studying the general condition of the
system throughout their territory, with
view OF improvingit wherever occasion
requires. 1t was Mr.. Story's first visit
to this section, and he was much i'm
pressed with conditions here and expects
to visit this territory occasionally TO keer
in close touch with the wants and need.
OF the patrons. 1t might be added that
the company are now giving especial at
tentlon to the extension OF their rura
lines and phones will be supplied tn,
farmers just as fast as the demands war
rant the outlay.
Speaking Of the rapid growth of tn,
telephone system, it might be interestn,
here to state that the first telephone ex
change in Idaho was established at tn
town Of HALEY, in 1888, by c. f. Annett
OF this place, who was general manage
OF this district at that time. The ex
change was put in the Office OF the Halle
Times and young fellow named Kings
bury, who was the "devil' in the print
ing office, put in charge. This sam
Mr.. kingsbury is now one of the vic
presidents Of the American Telegraph an
Telephone Co., with headquarters j

The Jerome Highway Commissioners

In pursuance Of the appointment by
rome Highway District Commission, as
noted in these columns last week, these
gentlemen met last week and organized
by the selection OF q. b. Hawbecker as
president and II. X. Schoenthal as sec
retary-treasurer. The board as now con-
stituted will have sole authority over the
roads and bridges in this district, and
their power is almost unlimited. They
IRE already at work, although they are
hampered for funds, being unable thus
far to get statement from the county as
to the amount due the newly created
district. However, they propose going
right ahead with the necessary work to
be done, issuing warrants for the same,
which in all probability can be easily
converted into cash.
Too much cannot be expected from the
board at the start, as the burden that
will be thrown upon them is probably
greater than they realize at the present
time. However, we are glad the district
has been formed and we believe the man
agement OF the'sa has been placed in
the hands 81 good conservative men who
are competent 10 administer the affairs
Of the district in practical and econo
mical manner. The regular meetings o
the board will be held on the first Thurs
day OF each month, and in the mean
time any matters Of importance will re-
ceive prompt attention from the Secre
tary who is located in town.

Were Captivated.

Last summer Mr., Jas. j. O'Brien, Of
Chicago, and friend OF j. Lind, spent
a short time on the tract, returning to
the city to resume his regular vocation.
But for some reason he could not become
interested in his work as formerly the
thoughts OF Sunny Southern Idaho run
ming through his mind at all times, and
when his vacation season came this year
he induced his wife to accompany him
to Jerome, and the climax was reached.
Mrs. O'Brien, like her husband, was OF
once captivated, and they lost no time
in purchasing 40 from Otto Brown,
just opposite the Lind place, and have
returned to Chicago much more content
ed. in anticipation Of becoming perma
nent residents OF the tract next spring
As Mr.. O. Brien puts ii, he can sleep bet
ter now that he is POSSESSED OF som'
North Side property.

To the Poultrymen OF Goodlng, Lincoln
and Minidoka Counties:
Having been placed in charge of the
poultry department OF the Trl-County
Fair would like very much to make
this part OF the fair as much OF success
as some of the other departments are
sure to be. | realize that the season Is
early and this is the melting season but
it is as fair for one as the other. The
judging will be by comparison by Judge
Purvis which insures premiums being
placed where they belong.
The fair being held at Jerome thus
year. the Lincoln County Poultry Asso-
citation will hold no show this season.
The Poultrymen should take advantage
OF this opportunity to exhibit as this
perhaps will be the only chance to eN-
hibit locally this year. There are num-
Der OF premiums worthy OF trying Tor and
it might be possible for few premiums
in this department to secure one or more
Of the cups offered. SO now get your
birds in as good condition as possible
and bring or send them.
At this time few suggestions might
be OF some help to some one. Have your
birds as near the standard weights as you
can, other points being equal the bird
nearest standard weight will be the win.
