FROM ONTARIO TO
GROVEJITY, PENN.
(By Hov. W. P. Tocliran)
Dear Editor Argun: ThlnkliiR yon
might find room for some copy from
yours truly I horowlth point my pen
back toward thn sotting nun having
Journeyed over 23000 rnllcB eastward
I wus thirteen days on tlio way hav
ing stopped J n Iowa, Illinois and Now
Castle, l'n. to visit frlendB.
The ono word that stands out tnoBt
prominently spelling my obscrvntlons
Is prosperity. Tho harvest fields all
tlio way wcro yielding up their gold
en sheaves. Hentitlful fruitage was
much tho ovldonce between Ontario
and Numpa and for somo miles he
yond.
Tho vast, level, unwatorcd plain
stretching more than half way across
southern Idaho encircled by moun
tains visible all tho tltna Is n little
empire. It would seem that tho
mountains should somehow supple
ment tho plain with ndnqunto water
for Irrigation.
The problem was partially solved
when I reached American Kails and
saw thn harnessing of tho water of
the Bnako Illvcr by tho dam over
hanging tho falls. It Inrunt to mo

ago. It Is said n man cannot lift him
self by pulling on his boot tugs hut
tho mlraclo of wator Is that It will
lift Itsejf almost to Its own level aftor
having dropped thousands of foot
from mountain tops to valleys, My
soatmato on tho train as I approached
tho falls was tho wlfo of tho com
mercial Bccrotary of the city, Hho
railed my nttontlon to tho big letter
ing on tho hill board which spelled tho '
slogan of tho town, "A flood Town
by n Dam fllto". Her husbnnd had
taken tho prize for this motto hut
she did not unite approve, This Is
ono of tho dynamic center of tho
Idaho Powor Co. well known In On
tario. From this point for n dis
tance of six hundred miles clear be
yond tho Itockys to tho head "waters
of tho Puyotto rlvor there Is very
little lund fit for tillage with avail
able water. Cnttlnklngs and shep

realm for years. ,last winter seven

of 1000 bills por duy which Is piped by,

beyond Is Hock Itlver, Wyo., whoro
now oil flold was found loss than I
two years ago. Tho output at pres
ent Is 7000 bhis. dally from fourteen
flowing wells. Thirty-one new wolls
are drilling using 1500 bids, of the
present production for fuel. Tho oil
Is found at a depth of 3200 feet, each
well costing an average of $50,000
Knch new well pays for Itself In fif
ty days flow, Tho flold Is three
quarters of a mllo wldo by flvo miles
lung extending northward toward
tho Casper oil field over one hundred
miles to the north. The output Is
being pumped to Laramlo a distance

Our Journey during tho Into after
noon hurried us on through contin
uous seml-nrld pasture lands In Wy
oming and Colorado, also western
Nohraska where Inadequate rainfall
Is supplemented by Irrigation from
tho head water streams of tho east
ern slopes,
Hotter wheat than was over known
beforo In tho high arid regions of
Nebraska Is being hurvested. A drop
In elevation during tho afternoon end
night of more than a mllo In going ,i

Omaha. Day dawn for three hours
