What has become of those city improvements which the counci tooK acnon upon, with the un derstanding that they were to done at once? These included the establishment of a gutter drain for Main Street at the ex pense of the City, and after that . had been done, a sidewalk grade was to be established and orders issued to property owners to build continuous sidewalks along Main Street. It will only be a few weeks now until we can naturally look for some heavy rain storms, and without drainage, those of us who have lived in Madras through a Winter, know that it means a lake on the postoffice block of Main Street and a lob lolly of mud all over town. Then too, it will be necessary lor per sons passing along the street to hop off into the mud where the sidewalk ends and struggle along for 25 or 50 feet to regain the sidewalk on the next prop erty which is provided with such an improvement. According- to the city treasurer there is at this date about $1800 in the city treasury and as there has never been anything done by the city in the way of improvements, many residents think it would be nice to have these things actually done. 'Ihe Oregon Trunk engineer has offered to put a level crew on the gutter grade without 'charge. These engineers will not be here much longer, and in finishing up their work probably thjy will not have much time to spare. S.iould the city h .ve to hire an engi neering crew to come and establish the grade the cost would be considerable. In case the sidewalk building is put off until the roads get bad, then the propeety owners will have the excuse that they can't get lumber from the mills to build the walks, and the towns people will have to wallow through the mud all Winter. Even now with the dust four inches deep along the streets, continuous sidewalks would be worth while. SHERMAN GO. SHERIFF GETS HIS MAN informed by the sheriff that this was tho man wanted, Hardy pointed him out to Policeman Weston, who placed him under arrest. Sheriff Freeman had gone to Haycrcck whore he hoped to find the man on his homestead, but returned to Madras upon being notified of the capture, nnd left with his pris oner for Moro Thursday evening. :procress of work on wells The big well on the Mctolus townBito four miles south of town is progressing rapidly now, since the drill has reached a solid foimation to work in. Tho hole is down about COO feet but no water has been found. Drilling on tho new Culver townsito ten miles south of Madras seems to bo a hard game. At a depth of 95 feet the drill has encountered n layer of iron basalt. The machine pounded away on this stuff for twelve hour? or more and only gained four inches. This same black formation was struck when the well was drilled on the Redmond townsito, and it is almost impossible to mac any headway in it. The well on the residence property of M. G. Pullette in Depot Additon to Madras is now down about 160 feet but no water has been struck. This is only a short distance from .Dave Barnett s well, where an abundance of water was found at 75 feet.
