And because Uncle sam has been so generous in his all lotment of lands-320 acres to a home stead among the hills-the shacks of the settlers are necessarily far apart.
 Neighbor S-was a druggist in the town of G., who hankered for a strip of soil of his own. His resources however were limited. So he filed on his land, built a house, and got things to going Then it became necessary for him to go back to C. and earn money enough to buy stock and inn plements. leaving his family on the land. Eet he did not want to leave his wife alone aut there. with little children, so far from neighbors and with no means of communication.
 So he bought two telephones-one for her and one for his cousin. who lived on the adjoining ranch-and con- nected them to the wire fence that surrounded the two homestoads. About the first thing a settler does is 10 en- close his allotment with a wire fence
 Therefore, if anything went wrong his wife could telephone the cousin.
