In order 10 meet an appointment at
BuhI 1t vas necessary 70 drive across
country from Wendell 20 Buhi, dis
ance Of about ~ miles. This jour
ney was made pleasant by our friend,
Dr.. Raberts. formerly pastor OF tn"
Presbyterian church Of Salmon, who
came across from Bull to meet us.
This across country drive enabled US
to see much Of tins country which
otherwise We would not have seen.
From Wendell to the Snake river
there is not much farming dOue,
through the difficulty in securing the
amount Of water required. The dust
was vrry deep and parts Of the way
automobiles cannot run on account
of the sand The Snake river runs
through IA deep canyon similar to
some ui tile CANYONS OF the Salmon
liver abn"e town and the scenery is
very much the same.
From the Snake rlSef to BuhI, Il
distance OF five or six miles, the
country Is more rolling aud there are
some large orchards The first inn
pfesslons, on seeing the great piles OF
stones and stone fences, were not
very favorable The ranchers, manY
Ut them, utilize these stones in build
Ing houses and barns and making

are some very line looking orchards,
but many OF the ranchers are going

They have immense big barns, the

stone. There Is creamery and
I cheese factory about } miles from
town which Is owned and operated
by the rauchers which Is proving to
he a very profitable enterprise.
The town Of Buhl seemed To he u
prosperous little city. Ii supports 2
newspapers, ? banks and numerous
up.to.date stores. There is large
elevator which handles a large amount
of grain We had expected to find d
