'-GENERAL MERCHANTS, , MADRAS, OREGON eVfWMlMIMIr y Dave Barnott has struck a a liiift flow of water in the welt which ho was having drilled by Frank Loveiand on his place about eight miles south of Mad ras. The water was found at a depth of about 350 feat, and there is apparently au inex haustible supply of it. On Monday they attempted to pump the well dry, taking out an eighteen foot bucket of water every two minutes during u period of two and .three-quarter flours, and there was no appar ent decrease in the amount of water in the well. When Mr. Barnett began on this well a month or more ago, it was forthe double purpose of trj'ing to get water and also following up an oil prospect which hac been struck in that neighborhood several yearn ago. Most of our readers are familiar with the atoiy of the mild oil excitement created about two years ago In the dis covery of ntrong evidences of petroleum v a well on the Bar tiett place, and it as for the purpose ot further prospecting that Mr. Barnett began to drill this new well. At a dpth of about 250 feet there were strong indications of petroleum in the new hole which was be int: drilled, but below that depth they encountered a red granite loimatiou, when the in dmations of oil ceased. Mr. Barnett is quite pleased at hi success in securing water, whicl in that district is almost 11 no quite as valuable as an oil wel would be. For twehty-thre years he has hauled all of the water used on his ranch, and it is a great relief at last to have plenty ot water for all purposes right at the ranch. And, mci dentally, the value of his ranch is greatly increased. The well on the Barnettplace was ail lieu with Frank Love land's new drilling outfit, which is one ot the best prilling ma chines ever brought into tin section. The drill alone weighs iiboui 1500 pounds, and the ma- ehine has a capacity of 1200 feet. Sime Mr. Barnett has demonstrated the possibility ot getting water within a reason able distance, it is likely that Mr, Loveiand will have about 11 that he can do with his ma ehine. He is next coin? to ddll for the Harveys on the Lit le rhuns, and he expects to nave his machine set up and eady to begin drilling there by i he first part of next week. ,....,. -vvvuiw . :. cornea they are toin loose from the !

Dear fcsir: 1 would like to ask a question through' your paper: vv uat does a Knssian lustle look like? Do thev look anything like a Canadian this 1 01 We have a weed hero in the Opal Prairie district that looks something like a tumble weed it a distance, yet thev are noi so thick in the bunch as tho tumble weed. Thev are of ji nnkish blue color." Somo of hese weeds are three feet ucross. Some i)eot o her- hink they are a new kind of umble weed, while others say hey hie the Russian thistle. Some fields have a great many of these weeds scattered over thenl, mine included. It this weed is Russian thintl. all farmers having them on their anoues are liable to a finn. There are lota of these weeds scattered along the roads in uaoes. There seems to be but ittle attention paid to them in 1. 1 a rt . ma section ot the conntrv. :hey are loft to jret rltie: than in the Fall MertMiafnj Umj Stephen A. Douglas Pater took the stand for the govern ment in the Blue Mountain Re serve ca,se, last Thursday, and by the most sensational confes sion made since the govern ment began its investigations in this state, laid bare all of the secrets of that plot and others to rob the United States of its public lands. By his testi moiiy he implicated some of the most prominent politicians 'n the state, not only in this case, buf in all the network of frauds and corrupt practices which the government investi gation has unearthed. His tes timony filled in the gaps and furnished the strongest link iti the chain of evidence against F. P. Mays, W. N. Jones, George Sorenson, Binger Her. mann, ex-Congressman Wil liamson and the late Senator Mitchell, against whom the in dictment in the case nOw on trial was returned. In his story, complete as to names and dates and plainly true, he reveals all the secrets of the land fraud ring, showing i he actual partnership of thai coterie of politicians, who aided and directed the thieves who did the actual Btealing and took from them the captain's share of the plunder Puter did not spare himself, nor did he spare l hose who had been his for mer confederates, but who had left him to his own resources when the government had hitn in its toils. Puter's confession was prompted by the treatment ac-,. corded him by Mays and his associates. When Puter was ' arrested in the famous "lt-7" cases, he appealed to Mays ind Jones for help in securinc bail, but was turned down bv his former confederates 'Mass ed me up like a white chip" ho says. His confession was for the purpose of playing even. ruter's story was followed in the evening by the testimony r Dr. Andrew O. Smith, of Portland, who testified as to Williamson's connection with he Blue Mountain case. Dr. Smith's story was that in Sop- temoar, iuua, alter the with- lrawal ot the ands for the re serve had been made. WiU iamson came to him and in duced him to take a third merest in 18.000 acres of school lauds he had boiieht. ying adjacent to the with drawal, lor the purpose of hav- ng it included m the reserve oi aenpTiinn" miroosds.
