C H. Dealy ws a business visitor
in the city Saturday from his Bear
creek hills ranch. He is preparing to

peculiar feature of a portion of the

creek buttes is the fact that wells sunk
there will yield an abundant supply of
water for a time and then go dry,
then by going only a short distance
andsinkinir another one a similar
supply of water may. be obtained,
This has been repeated for several
years. The subsoil is gravel and why
this phenomenon should exist in such
a formation is more than can be ac
counted for by the ordinary indivi
dual. J. N. Hammond was over from
Cline falls the latter part of last week
looking after business matters and
reports having in an amount of grain
and aifalfa ready for spring. There
was some grain raised on the property
this year and the result of the irriga
tion of a portion of the desert by
water power at that point will be
watched with interest by many people,
for there is an abundance of power
along the Deschutes that can be util
ized in this way if it is shown that
there is any profit in so doing.
