(Special) That the Powder valley Is under laid with a great sheet of water which could be tapped and used for various purposes has long been the belief of many people and several ranchers in the North Powder district have dem onstrated this to be a fact Andrew Lun was probably the first one to back his belief by expending money in drilling a well add now has several wells that are giving a steady flow. Albert Hutchinson was In Baker last evening and told a representative of The Herald of conditions of the earth there. He has a well at his borne in North Powder that is 200 feet deep and has been giving a steady flow of 20 gallons per minute for the past year. He recently sunk a well on his ranch four miles west of town where boring the well the drillers first went boring the wel lthe drillers first went through 40 feet of gravel and then struck sand for a distance of 269 feet, when they struck water. When down 215 feet they struck a fir log which was 21-2 feet thick. The bark was in good condition, but the log was soggy and almost decomposed. At a dis? tance of 220 feet they encountered a pine log 18 inches thick. The formation does not seem to be the same in all localities, for right in town water is found at different depths. Some of the wells are: Albert Hutchinson, 200 feet; Chris Johnson, 180 feet; one at the school house, 215 feet; at the hall, 426 feet; Saunders creamery, 30 feet; A. Lun, 183 feet, id (DEI!

This belief is engendered byaTei7 careful Investigation into crop Ccn dltlons and Into general trade con, ditlons throughout the west and south west. A significant feature of the or der is the fact that all passenger equipment ordered is to be of the an. steel kind.' Rock Island Calls For $9,000,000 Worth of Equipment. A Chicago (Special), says: The management of the Rock Island has just placed orders for equipment and power which will necessitate an ex penditure of approximately $9,000,000. The orders constat of all kinds of freight rars, locomotives and passen ger equipment, and are among the largest given by any western railroad system in several years. A large portion of the equipment and power will be in the nature of facilities and will not be to replace old and worn out equipment. The f Bank Looted. OMAHA, NEB. Sept. 1.

No Local Passengers Carried on it After September Third. - Passengers No. 8, due here at 8:30 in the evening and east bound, will not carry passengers to points this side of Huntington. All passengers ticketed to points on the Short Line beyond Huntington can ride on that train from here, but not this side, meaning the train will not stop even at Baker City. This becomes effec tive on September 3, and will run un til further notice. Number 8 is the fast train which is reducing ,its run ning time to Chicago, even greater than first announced for it. Reducing the number of stops to a minimum is thought to be another step towards perfection in time.
