We do not think it necessary at this time to say

ARTESIAH VLLL PROSPECTS
Of
OREGON
IDAHO
The following; report on the artesian
water possibilities of Oregon and
Idaho has Just been Issued by the
geological survey of the United States
government:
Flowing wells can probably bo ob
tained In a number of districts in
southeastern Oregon and southwestern
Idaho, according to a report Issued
by the United States geological survey
as water-supply paper No. 78. This
report, which Was prepared by the
late Prof. I. C. Russell, is the result
of a geological investigation in partB
of Canyon and Owyhee counties, Ida
ho, and of Malheur and Harney coun
ties, Oregon, made with the special
object of discovering localities where
flowing water can be obtained by
drilling wells.
The presence of artesian conditions
in an area is frequently inferred by
geologists from a study of rock struc
ture. In what Is property termed an
artesian basin the layers of rock are
bent downward, so as to resemoieu a
pile of shallow plate-shape dishes
placed one within another. ,-. '
One .or more of the beds of rock is
porous and allows water supplied by
rain on Its upturned edges to perco
late into it. Above and below the
water-charged layers are close-textured
rocks, like clay, that prevent the
escape of water in the bed between
them. A number of such structural
basins are found in the region studied
by Professor Russell.
Confirmation of flie supposition that
water under pressure exists beneath
the surface In any area is found at
many places In the occurrence of warm
springs those with 'a temperature
ranging from 60 degrees to 100 de
grees P. As the water In artesian
basins has descended from the sur
face, and as the temperature of the
earth Increases with depth, the deeper
the water has - penetrated Into the
rocks the higher will be' Its tempera
ture.
The Increase In (he temperature of
the earth below a depth of about 50
feet in temperate regions Is In gen
eral ,about 1 degree F. for each 60
feet, but there Is considerable evidence
favoring the conclusion that In south
ern Idaho and adjacent parts of Ore
gon the rate if Increase Is approxi
mately 1 degree F. for each 45 feet In
depth.
At the depth of 50 feet the temper
ature corresponds to the .mean an
nual temperature of the locality cho
sen, which In this region Is approxi
mately 60 degrees F.. so that If a
spring in this region has a tempera
ture of 65 degrees F., or 15 degrees
above the temperature of the stratum
of no seasonal variation. It would be
safe to conclude that the water rises
from a depth of at least 675 feet be
low that stratum, or 725 feet below
the surface. Such a spring would
therefore serve as an indication of
the depth to which a well should be
bored to penetrate the water-charged
rock layer.
Professor calls attention to the
fact that while warm springs may In
dicate the pressure of a water
charged layer that would supply flow
ing wells, a hot spring, or one having
a temperature of more than 100 de
grees. Is not so favorable an Indica
tion. Hot springs ordinarily rise from
depths so great that even If they come
from a well defined water-churged
layer, It would be unavailable as a
source of supply for most purposm
for which artesian water Is used, as
the expense of drilling to reach It
would be unjustifiable.
The report referred to, which may
be obtained free of charge by apply
ing tq the director of the geological
survey at Washington, D. C. con
tains a discussion of the arteslnn con
ditions. Illustrated by diagrams, and
describes the various basins, whose
locations are shown by a sketch map.
A detailed account of the wells and
springs of the region Is given, and
suggestions are made tn regard to the'
size of the drill holes, casing of wells,
and preservation of well records, the
Importance of which Is too often
overlooked.
The necessity for legislation re
stricting the utilization, or rather the
waste of sub-surface water is also
emphasized. Owners should be com
pelled by law to case every well hole
In an artesian basin that is, to place
an iron casing or tube In the hole,
made sufficiently tight to prevent
water from rising outside of It.
Such a casing should be put In every
well that remains open. The lower
end of the casing should be Jitst
above the water-bearing bed. This
should bo done, not only In the Inter
est of the owner himself, but because
the escape of water form an arteslun
basin In excess of the natural over
flow means a decrease In pressure on
the portions remaining, and conse
quently a lowering of the artesian
head.
In arid regions especially the prob
lem of economically using water and
maintaining the artesian head Is a
matter of public concern. It should
nlso be required by law that every
artesian well when not In use should
be securely closed, and that every
abandoned well In an artesian area
should be completely filled with im
pervious material. An artesian basin
Is not an Inexhaustible reservoir, air1
every practical means should be em
ployed for Us conservation and legiti
mate use.
