when John M. Perry, who I drill
lug for the Ilrooks-Kcanlon J.umber
Co. 1Ti mile from Ilend, on tjie edge
of the proposed reservoir, reported
having t r ii c k water at
W, deptli of OS feet. This va the,
lasi remaining location 011 or mini

jiiirently proves that a water table
underlie'' tho entire tract, as Mr.
I,orry,Svlw sunk uumerou hole

The theory under which Itecla
m at Ion service geologist who wcro
Investigating tho 'storago reservoir
sle last summer, to whom Mr.
Perry' report wero.iwnt, I that
the presence of water Indicate
I that water Is not escaping and that
consequently there would b 0

j developed In the Tumnlo reservoir.
It I expected Hint the last Infor

to prompt 11 fiivorn-hlu report by the

tho project.
Tho well sunk by Mr. Perry I fo
furnish water for a now logging
