I had felt there was a story In the old

Oi anger with his covered wagon; had come
upon the banks of the Pnake river at Soda I Kennedy Estate Deride to Make
Springs. Thence he followed the river
through Idaho Falls and thence to Ooose
creek. And here. In this spot of exquisite
beauty; of rolling plain; snow-peaked hill,
and blue river he made his camp. His
oldest boy was with him. And with that
help he spent the first year here. The fol
lowing year his wife came and together
they made their home. The man who left
Lincoln thirty-four years ago, broken In
health and purse; today Is as hale and
hearty as years ago; his cheeks are pink
with the flush of health; and his bank ac
count and his real estate make his checks
good for a quarter of a million of money.
He Is one of the owners of the townslte;
was for three years the president of the
Burley State bank; has a great deal of
farming land and was one of the first
to welcome the Carey act segregations.
Modern, progressive, and full of vigor; his
mind yet turns to beauty and when I
found him he was setting out Lombardy
poplars on both sides of the road In front
of his home; a fragment of the Oregon
