Death of William
Johnson at Madras
Tuesday evening, June 16, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. C. P
U'Ren, occurred the death of Wil
liam Johnson, one of the old pio
neers of this Central Oregon coun-
try, having come to this section
over 35 years ago.
The deceased was born in Bel
fast, Ireland, January 16th, 1837,
and received his early education in
England, after which he spent
several years in Australia,' and in
1869 he came to California, wljich
was during one of the gold rushes.
Soon after this he married Mary
Broches, who was accidentally
burned to death in February, 1882,
on their homestead, located across
the flat from Haycreek store.
There were five children of this
union Mr3. Mary U'Pven of Mad
ras, William Johnson of Antelope,
Isaac of Laidlaw, Percy of Battle
Ground, Wash., and one daughter
who died when quite young.
Mr. Johnson has alw-s been a
very active man in public life, al
ways taking an interest in politics
and also has been several times con
nected with the present county of
fices at Prineville, both in office
and assisting the officers in the
handling of their offices when extra
help was needed. He was also con
nected with, and it was largely
through his efforts, that the only
Carey act irrigation project in Ore
gon was carried to a successful
completion. Last spring he was a
delegate at the Irrigation Congress,
representing the Swalley ditch, and
much attention was given him ow
ing to his experience along this line
of work.
The funeral was held at the M,
E. church and the remains were
laid at rest in the Haycrsek ceme
tery. Many of his old time friends
were present to pay their last
respects to the deceased. Madras

WHY WEAK LUNGS?
The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than 350 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sandsof people take Scott'sEmulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. Scott'sEmulsion is nature'
trength-bvilder, Refuse substitutes.
Think They Can
Strike Artesian Water
Who will donate a lot for the
purpose of testing the possibility of
getting a strong artesian flow of
water in Prineville?
Wagoner & Co., .the well-known
well drillers, will go down 500 feet,
if necessary, to establish the fact
that a definite artesian basin exists
in the valley from Prineville down
as far as O'Neil. Messrs. Slavton
and Williams have artesian water
on their ranches but the well
drillers are of the opinion that
much stronger flows could be se
cured by going deeper. In order
to test the matter the well-drillers
will go down 500 feet but the
owner of the lot must deed them
the property if an artesian flow is
struck. Any old lot will do for the
test.
The Deschutes Power Co., which
supplies Prineville with water has a
group of 23 driven wells which
were put down in 1S99 within a
radius of 100 feet The deepest is
2S0 feet. The water is slightly
alkaline. The material passed
through in driving the well is as
follows:
Soil 5 feet
Coarse gravel 20 "
White clay 1 "
Fine quicksand.
Gravel -
White clay
Voleauic dut.
2 1
.3 to 4
2
210
Water was reached at a depth of
32 feet but the supply continued to
increase until a depth of 60 feet
was reached. The main supply
comes from the so-called quicksand,
volcanic dust, found beneath the
layer of white clay 32 to 34 feet be
low the surface. As the wells
terminate in the water bearing
stratum they do not furnish a com
plete test of the artesian conditions.
The well-drillers want to go down
to hard rock. Whether or not it
can be found in 500 feet is ' the un
known quantity in the problem
The well-drillers will put their
work up against the value of the
lot in its solution.
The Ramsey Reception
Very Pleasant Affair
About 100 people attended the
reception given in honor of Rev
George Ramsey and his bride at the

glass to a can opener. There was
music throughout the evening. All
guests were served with ice cream
and cake in the beautifully decor
ated dining room- The rainbow of
promise with all its beautiful tints,

Round About Journey
for Prineville Flour
The Prineville Flouring Mills
shipped 1000 pounds of flour by
parcel post last Friday that will not
net Uncle Sam's contractors much
profit on transportation. The flour
was sent to Antone over in Wheeler
county, a postoffice 25 miles on the
other side of Mitchell. The dis
tance from Prineville is 70 miles,
but the way Uncle Sam will take
the flour will foot up about 500.
The shipment will have to go to
Redmond by stage, then over the
Oregon Trunk to Portland and back
again on this side of the Columbia
river to. Arlington, then out the
Arlington branch to Condon. There
is a two-horse stage from Condon
to Fossil but from Fossil to Mitchell
and from Mitchell to Antone a one
horse cart takes care of the busi
ness. The contractor from Fossil
to Antone is the one that will have
to grin and tote the flour.

Lewarks Encounter
Very Stormy Weather
Mr. and Mrs. Lewark, who left
Prineville May 23 for an overland
trip across the continent writes to
the Journal from Laramie, Wyo.,
under date of June 20, that they
have had a hard time of it. Roads
have been terrific most of the way.
In California they were fair except
through the mountains. Within
two miles of the summit of the pass
between California and Nevada
mud and snow drifts were so bad
that the car had to be shipped from
Soda Springs to Truckee, a distance
of 13 miles. Nine other cars were
in the same dilemma. Through
Nevada it was cold, , rainy and
muddy. Drove through a blinding
snow storm one day and could make
but 45 miles. The Lewarks say
that of all the country seen so far
Oregon looks the best. Mr. Lew
ark was taken sick at Laramie and
a delay of several days was ex
pected. It will be some time be
fore they reach their destination at
Richmond, Va.
Prineville Defeated
Bend Last Sunday
The baseball team went to Bend
Sunday for a workout with the
Bend team preparatory to the
Fourth of" July series with the
Knights of Columbus of Portland.
Although Bend has acquired two or
three new players, including a
pitcher, they failed to stop the
locals who fattened their batting
averages with a number of good
solid bingles, which netted 15 runs.
The Bend boys got only two runs
off Tetherow's pitching. He was
given fine support.
Saturday the locals defeated the
Lamonta team 13 to 0.
The Prineville team goes to Grass
Valley Saturday for a two-game
series with that team and may pos
sibly play the Moro team on this

workout of the season in these
games and will have to play in top
form to win a majority of them.
