Recent well drilling operations
on Sage brush flat near Youngs
postoffice for different parties
prosecuted by the Central Oregon
Well Drilling company have de
monstrated that there is an
abundance of excellent water
available there at depths ranging
from 100 to 150 feet. A well
drilled on the W. M. Akeyson
homestead tract reached one flow
of water at 135 feet, and on
going 20 feet deeper a second
and much greater flow was en
countered, and there 13 now 32
feet of water, and a seemingly
inexhaustible supply. A. W.
Freeburg expects to put in a
pumping plant in this well for
irrigation purposes.
On the Lewis P. Foss place half
a mile east of the Freeburg well
another has been drilled, the first
water being reached at 90 feet
and the second flow at 100. Like
the other well there is an abund
ance of fine water here.
The drilling machinery is being
taken to the Farnsworth & Daly
station, which is situated on the
John Trotter homestead claim.
aii..nn ...nil u ;
10 u wen 111.11; ii is in
tended to sink deeper and in
crease the supply.
While the water supply prob
em over the greater part of
northern Crook county is more or
ess serious, the employment of
the drill in most all sections has
demonstrated there is vast quan-
titiesof pure cold waterthat can be
reached at depths that are easily
mndled with modern pumping
machinery K and with the develop
ment of the country this water
supply handicap will doubtless
be relegated to the pioneer
period.
Irrigation of the soils of Crook
county adds so greatly to their
productiveness and consequent
value that extreme measures to
put water on the land will justify
the expense. The light rich soil
of this district and the dry cli
mate make ideal conditions for
cropping with irrigation, as
moisture is the only element lack
ing for perfect plant growth.
Any kind of a system that will
give the ground one wetting dur
ing the growing season makes a
sure crop here.
A system of irrigation that is
now being employed in several
sections of the Pacific Coast is
that of pumping from wells with
electric power. Notable among'
these projects of late date is that
in the Milton-Freewater district
in the southwest part of the
Walla Walla valley, where the
Pacific Power & Light company ,
is extending a power line into
the farming section to supply the
residents with "juice" to pump
from their wells for irrigation
and likewise for operating power
for small farm machinery, and
lights for their residences and
barns. While the irrigating
feature of the plan has not yet
had a trial there, the same idea
has been tested in California and
proven very successful.
With a great power river like
the Deschutes so near at hand to
generate the power, plenty of
water available at a depth that
makes pumping from wells prac
ticable, and soil that needs only
water to make it produce unex
celled crops of almost every
variety, it does not require tho
prophetic vision of a seer to
look into the future and see the

MAKES A RAISE
Cashes Worthless Paper to The
Amount of More Than $150.
Hy the employment of bogus checks,
signed by fictitious
Jennings buncoed Madras people out of
ueiwecn $ f,u and ?IG0 last Saturday

Jennings had been here for
months and for a part of the time- bad
been in the emwlov of .Tnhn r
stage driver. During this time he had
come to be known by the people here
who had no reason to believe him to be
bad check artist. Six bad ehnnW
were cashed, drawn for various amounts
on Mndras State Bank blanks, all in
Jennings favor, and in casing them he
merely signed his own nume on the
back.
After cashine the chocMa wVltnli lir

press office and paid $100 charges on a
package containing spectacles which
had been shipped to his address, and
since that time he has not been heard
of.
Jennings is described as beincr about
40 years old, about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches
tHll, weight about 180. heavv dark
must che, brown eves, with noticeable
defective spot in richt eve. and of
ruddy complexion. Monday morning
when the checks were taken to the
bunk the fraud was discovered. Most
all of the people who were defrauded
had cashed good paper for Jennings
previously, and he had bought consider
able goods from the store for people
residing along the line where he drove
stage.
All county and city officers in this
part of the state have been notified to
be on the lookout for him, and it is
thought that he will be captured, as the
defective spot in his eye is a mark that
would attract the attention of any one
at a glance The officers think it pro
bable that Jennings will adopt the role
of a spectacle peddler in some part of
the country as it is known that he
followed this line previous to his com
ing to Madras.
