Falmouth Outlook Fri. 14 Mar 1924 Vol. 17 No. 41 Pg. 7 Col. 1 A LETTER FROM IDAHO St. Anthony, Idaho, 20 Feb 1924. Miss Salla Hopkins After being absent from my old home for 24 years, I feel that I would be a stranger among friends should I visit the old Blue Grass State again. No doubt there are a great many who remember Mr. & Mrs. James T. Mains, born and lived in Kentucky until the spring of 1900, in different sections, although many years in the vicinity of Grant's Lick. The writer was born near Demossville, although living in and near Grant's Lick for a number of years in early school-boy days, I claim it as my old home. We just received an invitation to attend the grand old State Homecoming, which would be highly appreciated by us, if we could make arrangements to attend. Father and Mother enjoyed the best vacation of their lives, so they say, when they made a visit to Kentucky some six or seven years ago, and called on relatives and friends all over, from Newport to the Licking River, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Father and Mother Mains are still enjoying the best of health, having raised a family of thirteen children, one passing to the Great Beyond in December 1913, age 11 years, Goldie E. Mains. All except three are married, five living in California. Leaving Grant's Lick, Campbell County, KY in the spring of 1900, we moved to Forest City, MO, where we lived and farmed until 1907, making good and enjoying the best of health. But the call of the West was too much for father, and we, like other, saw greener fields beyond the board Missouri river. Therefore we left Missouri in the fall of 1907, landing at Culbertson, western Nebraska, in what later proved to be the dry belt. After passing through a beautiful winter - an exception - we started the season with about 800 acres, well equipped for farming, 400 acres of fall wheat, which by June was a beautiful picture. But alas! the hot winds came and the entire country dried up, leaving crop destruction in its path. Discouraged to the breaking point, we loaded our goods and equipment into emigrant cars and pulled for the eastern part, landing at Fall City, Neb., not far from the muddy waters of the broad Missouri. This proved a good move, for with bumper crops of corn, hay and other grains, and prices going up we built up a good financial position in a few years. It was here the call of the West again entered our home, and like many others of the rolling stone disposition, rent being cheaper further west, we were preparing to enter the promise land of Idaho, having been informed by one in position to know that bumper crops were grown in the broad Snake river valley by irrigation, and with a never failing water supply which made complete failure unknown. Therefore, we made another auction sale, disposing of some 30 head of cattle, 2 head of horses and mules, hogs, corn and implements. Loading our household goods in emigrant cars, we landed at St. Anthony, Idaho, 1911 where we still reside. Knowing the winters were quite long and cold, with heavy snow fall, also desiring to be handy to school, father bought a nice home in town and leased a large farm adjoining the town site, where we were engaged in growing such crops as wheat, oats, barley, alfalfa, potatoes and seed peas. The first season we learned the irrigation, when to apply the water and when to take it off. After getting the hang of it, there was real pleasure in knowing our crops were not going to burn up, as they did in western Nebraska, and the yield was good. The dry farm section, or the bench land sloping back from the valley to the mountains, is devoted entirely to grain, and some seasons to yield about equals the irrigated. In the valley, all grain and hay crops do well, and is the home of the sugar beet and potatoes. Seed peas do extremely well, that business having grown until today it is the leading industry of this valley. In January 1922, we sold all farming equipment and live stock, going into the second hand business, new and second furniture, later adding groceries until a full line was in. This section has been hit hard by the slump that the entire country is undergoing, many banks closing and Idaho had its share. But we still have hopes, and are building a nice little business. Well, the Dog Derby will soon be on at Ashton, Idaho, the next town up the line. And it has about as much thrill as the races at Alexandria. They have big, husky dogs with harness to fit, then hitch two abreast with six to eight in a team. They are then hitched to a toboggan sled. With lines and whip the driver takes his seat on the sled, gives the signal to go, and the race is on. IT is wonderful what loads they can pull on snow roads. The race is a 24 mile heat, and the one making it the quickest by the watch is winner of the handsome prize. Will try and send pamphlets of the race and entire program later, stating how many thousand dollars is invested in a dog race and for world's title. Well, don't think I am sending this just for publicity, or to be boastful. I am just stating facts in this letter as I see them. And it is quite possible I would not have written this had it not been for the Home Coming invitation to old Kentucky, or better still, the news we get from week to week in the Falmouth Outlook, a friend having been so kind as to send us the paper. We just can't keep from reading it. Grant's Lick news first. I am proud to state the little schooling I did get was in the good old Blue Grass State.
