and planting of trees thereon on the
main streets and in five years it will
be an ideal place to hold a chautauqua
meeting in the open air under the
shade trees At Filler, l visited the
high school, which is a very fine
building
From Filler l went by automobile to
Berger, which is a thriving place. and
while there talked to many of the Sal
mon river people and went to Bull
via Filler From Twin Falls to Bull
there is a state highway, built by the
people of Twin Falls county, which is
as good as any in California. Every
bridge is of steel and concrete and
fenced on Doth sides and bitches con-
veyed underground across the road,
and l assure you that you can exceed
the speed limit there and not know it.
81 arrived at Bull Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock and was received by a
committee of citizens and escorted to
the hotel. [ was invited to supper by
pioneer rancher to his ranch, one

gladly accepted Well, that poor pio-
neer rancher has a beautiful home
with rs acres of the finest land that

me place is a beauty spot with not a
weed on the tract.
"At this ranch home l had the COM
fort of placing my feet on real Turk
sh rugs, sitting in real mahogany
chairs and eating off china inlaid with
gold leaf and cut glass and the finest
of linen There were decorations of
roses from Utah asparagus from Cali

other parts of the earth, and l surely
felt like 1 was governor of Idaho.
"At Bull 1 also inspected company
K of the Idaho National Guard. They
are a fine body of men and a credit
to our militia. After addressing the
company, I went to the hotel to rest
for the big day Saturday, the celebra-
ton of the first decade of Bulbs eX-

What kind of celebration was it
Well, that is more than your paper
will hold if / could tell it all 1t was
grand celebration; something doing
every minute. Erass band, parade
good fellowship, free banquet at the
armory for thousands with enough lief
for thouSsnd more / must tell yol
about the parade which started at l 81
and was splendid. 1t took consider
ably over an hour to pass a giveI
point. Automobiles by the hundreds
buckaroos, pioneers-I just simpl.

parade in an automobile and the pres
ent mayor of Bull and the first mayo
were with me and when we reached
the armory there were more peopl

tell of such accomplishment by morts

city of Buhi. The quality of the Ian

Nile.
Money? We'll there is lots of
X there. Thai is what is in great ev
