To the Board of Directors of the Jefferson Highway Association: Gentlemen: 'Ihe representatives of the Jefferson Highway Association through the State of Kansas, requests competent person good wages to do the milking rather than depend upon his children to do this work. A cow should be milked rapidly and thoroughly, and every time just alike, and at the same time proper tbeopportunity sometime during today to present to your Board the claim Continued from last week' issue. Amboy, Jan. 10, 1917. To The Border Sentinel: Our train waa due at Kansas City at 9:15 o'clock, bo I was getting pretty anxious to see those whom I expected to find at the depot to meet me.

The train pulled in on time. The brakeman called out, "Kansas and everybody began to unload "detrain" as they call it. As Boon as the crowd got i out of my way, I came down the 7 steps and alighted on the "platform." i Here my experience was something on the order of that of Uncle JoBh, in some of his, travels. On looking around after alighting I could see no one I knew, bo I concluded that my people were a little late in getting; to the station, and made up my mind to remain right there till some of them would, perhaps, come to me. Presently a young man with a red cap came along and picked up my grips and started off, What are you going to do with thoBe," said I.

"Carry them for you," said he. "Il don't want them said "I am expecting some of my people to come presently, and they will help me with my luggage." He explained to me that my people would probably be at the "gate'' up stairs.

But I must hurry on or your readers will grow tired before I have told all of my story. It was only a short run across the corner of South Dakota, till we entered the state of Wyoming.

For quite a long distance here, the Burlington runs thru a highland country covered with a scattering and very scrubby growth of cottonwood timber; having more the appearance of a great orchard of apple trees than anything else I can compare it to. Soon after entering Wyoming, we entered a region where the ground was covered with snow, which continued all the way through Wyoming, and how far into Montana, I do not know, as it was night when we passed out of snow, somewhere west of Billings, Mont. There are some fine valleys in northern Wyoming. I noticed many herds of cattle and horses wading the snow ap knows well enough that children Lamar, Nevada, Butler and Harrison- cannot do this work properly. ville was set aside at Kansas City, where you last met.

It is to correct this mistake that we desire this meeting at this time and to have the route permanently located Abreast of Times. Home news is the most interesting reading matter one can obtain. There is no other medium that can take the place of the home newspapor, Aside from giving the news, it gives us something that cannot be obtained anywhere else. It gives us the little incidents in the daily life of our friends and neighbors, of the people we go through life with arm in arm. It tells of the weddings, parties, clubs, church societies, etc.

It tells who is sick and heralds their recovery. These little items create a home newspaper, These little facts about our friends are most interesting. Who is willing to deprive himself of the intimate knowledge of his neighbors' successes and failures, joys and sorrows, trials and tribulations that the home paper provides? And to these reflections of the local newspaper editor may well be added a thought of the value of the daily, published in centers where trade and advertising make it possible, which is rushed as fast as the mails can carry it to the small towns and to the country homee telling of the happenings in the great outside world. It, too, is essential in this complex age which prevents a community and its citizens living entirely to itself; in an age when one happening may alter the life and thought of the entire world; in an age in which graiu and live stock market fluctuations at primary It is not out of place to have the boy milk the easy-milking cowb, and the girl also may well try her hand, as this teaches them to milk, and no boy or girl should leave the farm without knowing how to milk, even though they never expect to and same is deposited with Union through Kansas.

I bad been acquainted only with the ways at the old Union Station in the west bottoms where they had no ushers, and where every traveler had to look out for himself, and run the gauntlet of baggage thieves, pickpockets, and drummers for the white slave trade, which it is alleged used to infest that miserable hole. The new Union Station at Kansas City is a wholly different affair, each railway having a gate of its own with a chute leading to and from the train and no one can goto or come from any train without passing through its special gate.

Each gate is numbered, together with the name of the line of road to which it leads; and the names of the principal points to which the line leads are plainly lettered thereon. Also the gatekeeper examines the ticket of everyone coming to pass out, to make sure that the passenger is making no mistake in trains. ThoBe red capped ushers are a great convenience to the traveling public, but they expect and deserve a "tip" in payment for their service in assisting the traveler to and from trains, also in giving directions to travelers as to how to reach any part of the city to which they may wish to go. One of the ushers told me they receive no salary and are wholly dependent on what the travelers may "tip' them for their service. So much for my journey eastward.

My visit with my relatives and friends in KansaB and Missouri lasted till the 17th day of October, when at 10:35 a. m. of said day I boarded a Burlington train for my home in the far weBt, Clarke Washington.

S. cavalry were massacred by the Sioux Indians under Sitting Bull, the noted Indian war chief. I have nothing further to note till I reach western Montana, at Missoula, and westward therefrom, especially the Flathead Indian Reservation, of which I shall write more a little further on.

Missoula is a very pretty little city of 16,600 inhabitants, surrounded by mountains standing of! at considerable distance, thus showing the valley to be of considerable extent, and is Bituated on the Missoula river, the main branch of the Columbia river. This appears to be a great grain growing country. Many teams were to be seen on the roads loaded with what looked to be sacked grain going to market. In fact I saw more straw stacks and larger ones in Western Montana, than in any other place I ever saw. I might mention some of the frightfully high trestles we crossed in passing from high up on one mountain side to high up on the side of another mountain across the valley.

In the valleys below us we could see nice farm houses and orchards, with those big straw stacks in the fields, and in the lower meadows herds of stock grating. Continued next week. the ones to demand it. Major E. M.

Adama attended tbe Lumbermen's convention held at Kansas City on Jan. 24-25-26 and pronounces it one of the very best in quality of addresses and general tone he has ever known. He remained tbe full three days in attendance and was the guest of bis son John Q. Adams. Nearly 2,000 lumbermf were present from all over the United States, tbe sessions being held in tbe Muehlebach hotel.

After the convention he vis-ited the state penitentiary at Lansing, Military Home and the Federal prison at Leavenworth, being accompanied by Chaplain Harmon Allen of the first named institution. The Major is disposed to criticise the Kansas State government and tbe fire warden's department especially for its partiality in enforcing the law relating to providing fire escapes for all public buildings, saying the State Fire Marshal visits small towns like Mound City, threatens prosecutions and raises Ned generally with property owners who do not comply with the law in' the matter of providing fire escapes while at the same time not a single State nor National building be visited had even the sign of one anywhere about the buildings.
