SETTLEMENT ON THE DESERT.
(Contributed)
Taber, August

Taber, August 4, 1918
This place is situated in a desert
of it's own, 80 by 40 miles, which ia
1900 square miles Of elegant land
20 miles up the Mackay branch of the
o. s. L. from Blackfoot. About hall
this area is squatted on waiting for
Uncle Sam to throw it open for home
steads.
The settlers are building cheap,
but as comfortable houses as practic-
al. They are commencing to fence,
about one quarter of the places being
now enclosed.
This season the desert has been
visited by frequent rainfalls UP to
the first of August, a few patches of
grain on the older places are making
rs bushels. Whenever the brush
has been two years burned off, the
good old bunch grass has come and
this is the backbone of the winter
feed at the present. The farmers
cut and stack this bunch grass for
milk cows and work stock, while
young stock eat it in the winter in
the fields.
Thermometer ranges from 20 be
low to 112 above. Snow falls IL to
Is inches. Very little winter wind.
Frequent seasonable thunder storms
visit the desert and remind the folks
of those good old days in their home
states when they hunted for their
cellars and storm retreats
This winter they will not get q
school, but this will be changed by
another year. From some little hitch
in school affairs, things have not been
There are As school children here.
H. F. Siesser is building a store
and residence combined. The store
is "a by 80, the house % by 80, with
rooms. He will carry nice stock
of general merchandise and will man
age to keep travellers who anchor at
Tabor few days. He has a first
choice 800 acre claim that is the ma
tural townsite. He cuts the rich
bunch grass by the stack and has a
fine acre of potatoes rapidly matur-
ing on ground broke out of the brush
on the 10th of May. Gardens do
we'll. Young trees set out this spring
are at this date, looking good enough
and if successful in weathering Au-
gust and September, will make it su-
perbly.
The Short Line keeps a section
gang here, with motor car. The
squatters work on the road and there
live well, while waiting for develop
ments. Mr.. Siesser is q carpenter
and is opening up a lumber yard in
connection with his other interests.
Hundreds of acres are being broke
up now and hundreds of acres of fall
wheat has been planted and much of
it is up nicely and shows every sign
of doing business.

SIX MONTHS COURSE OF
FERED IN DAIRYING NOW
Valuable Course Offered Those Who
Cannot Enroll For the Regular
Four-Year Term OF the University.

The dairy department Of the Uni
versity of Idaho now offers sil
months course in dairying to give q
practical working knowledge of mod
ern dairy methods to those who dc
not feel that they can spend four
years to take the regular dairy course
or who can not come up to the en-
trance requirements for the four year
course.
A common school education is all
that is required for entrance to this
six months course which opens in
October and closes in March Stud
ents having had some high school
work or having had some practical
experience in some line of dairy work
will, as rule, get more good out of
the course than the new beginner.
Arrangements will be made so that
those who are qualified may have
more advanced work than the begin
ner. Those who enter this course
must be at least eighteen years of
age.
The object in ten course is to train
men for some special line of dairy
work which they would like to follow
later. Or the student may take a
general course in dairy manufactur-
ing and milk production. Better re-
suits are usually obtained, however,
when the student spccializes either in
the creamery or dairy farm work.
In the creamery work the follow
ing are the main subjects taught:
Testing, butter making, cheese MAX
ing, dairy engineering, ice cream
making, factory management, and
dairy bacteriology. Tn the farm
dairy work the student receives in
struction in milk production and
some veterinary science so that he
may know how to care and manage a
dairy herd.
The University creamery, as we'll
as the dairy farm, afford excellent OPP
portunities for the student to secure
some practical experience along with
the studies so that he may have an
opportunity to put into practice some
of the things which are taught in the
class room.
The ever. growing demand for men
trained in the science and practice of
dairy work affords excellent oppor-
tunities for employment at good sal
aries to those who complete the six
months course. The dairy business
in Idaho is growing rapidly as is evil
denced by the large number of dairy
cattle which are being shipped in
from the east. Along with this in
crease in the dairy business of the
state will come an increased demand
for men especially trained to carry
on the dairy work
This course, coming as it does, at
a season when there is comparatively
little to do on the farm need not take
much valuable time from the farm
work Those interested in this course
should write at once for O. recent cir
cular which gives more details re-
garding it.

improvement of one of the main turn
pixies of Montgomery county with
view of making it of commercial value
and the Fiscal Court of that county
foreseeing the value of a good road
leading to the Montgomery capital,
agreed to meet the proposal of the
club and made liberal appropriation
to assist in meeting the expense of
the reconstruction of the road, to make
it a model highway.
The turnpike in question is the road
leading from Mt. Sterling to the Bour-
bon county line, through one of the
wealthiest and most influential neigh
borhoods, and touching the boundary
of Bourbon at point which abounds
in wealth. The movement among the
business men of Mt. Sterling is one to
be commended and displays a keen
activity on the part of the merchants
and public spirited citizens to reach
out beyond their own domain and Of
| fer liberal inducement to attract rade
to their city.
No better inducement could be of
fered the people by the citizens of any
town to get them to trade in their city
than good roads over which to travel
in their effort to reach trading centers.
The commercial value of turnpike is
enhanced a thousandfold by a proper
condition for travel and residents in
the country following a human instinct
are free to take advantage of the best
route
The Paris pike from Mt Sterling
extends to the Bourbon county line
and links the two counties at North
Middeltown. The business men of
Mt. Sterling were wise in the proposal
to make the road one of the most de-
siderable travel and will reap a rich
harvest from a community which
rightfully should do trading in the
center of its own county, were the
same advantages in the matter of a
good turnpike, over which to travel
offered
Bad roads are menace to CONNER
cial interests of any community, re-
CARELESS of the other advantages that
be offered by merchants or business
men. Sections which are not travers-
by railroads or electric lines must
necessarily have an outlet, and it is
natural to suppose that citizens will
take advantage of the most desirable
route to travel to a point to do their
trading.
Although Bourbon ranks among the
wealthiest counties in the State it has
little to boast of in the way of turn
pixies. A sum of $4,000 set aside
annually for this purpose, should make
the 331 miles of road at least fit for
ordinary travel, but complaints are
not infrequent regarding the present
condition of the county's highways.
Any of the counties in the Blue Grass,
many being less wealthy have turn
pixies OF which they can be justly
proud, while our roads are a disgrace
to a county of such standing among
those of the State.

THEE MEN INJURED
When Auto In Race With Interurban
II Car Turns Turtle.

Three persons were injured in an
automobile accident Tuesday morning

minor bruises and it may be he is in
ternally injured. His injuries are very
serious.
The party was enroute to Lexington
in the car owned by Evans, who was
driving the machine. The accident oc-
Cured at a dangerous point in the
road about one-half mile from the
sub-station on the traction line and is
said to have been the result of race
with an interurban car
According to the story of Mr. Rob-
inson, they were making an effort to
outdistance the car, when Evans lost
control of the machine and it Swerved
in the direction of the interurban car.
In his effort to right the machine he
caused it skid and when it struck a
washed place in the roadbed, it turned
urtle and rolled down an embankment.
All of the occupants were thrown
out and three of them were rendered
unconscious. The injured men were
brought to this city, where Evans and
Sharp received medical attention,
while McLoney was taken to the Good
Samaritan Hospital, in Lexington.
Sharp suffered a fracture of the
right shoulder and right wrist and
and was badly bruised about the head
and body. Evans lief shoulder was
dislocated and he was cut about the
face and head by broken glass from
the wind shield. Robinson was thrown
a distance of ten feet, but sustained
only a slight bruise between the
shoulders.
McLoney is Better.
| Mr.. Nelson McLoney, who was hurt
| in an automobile accident Friday
morning near this city, is suffering a
good deal of pain, but is as well as
could be expected, according to a re-
| port from the Good Samaritan Hospit-
al, where he was taken.
