J. P. DODGE, Secretary. BERT R. GREER, Chairman Artesian Flow Is Decreasing Auto tourists who have stopped at one time or other at Fort Klamath will be surprised to learn that the artesian wells of Fort Klamath and vicinity, which have always been the pride of the Wood River valley, and which have always delivered an abundance of water, may In the hour of the greatest need prove faithless, as indications point that they may all go dry. There are between sixty and seventy-five wells in Wood River valley, all of a two-Inch size pipe or larger, and they have been spouting volumes of water. In the winter the water never freezes, affording drink for stock, and In the summer they water many gardens, supply hot and cold water and sewer drainage for homes, besides their inestimable value as a pure drinking water sup ply. All the wells, or nearly all, now show a diminished flow. Some wells are too weak to force their way through the 'hot water tanks. Con siderable speculation as to the cause of the wells going dry has been In dulged in. Some think that possibly the digging of wells In the Indian territory of Klamath marsh might tap the fountain head of the artesian supply. Others think that on account of the wells being allowed to flow continually the supply is becoming exhausted. Still others believe that It Is merely the consequence of the hot dry summer, and still others claim that the new well just finished by Wimer & Son at their blacksmith shop, which Is 168 feet deep and has a flow of nine feet In height, may be the cause, withdrawing the supply from the shallower wells. Charles K. Henry Claims Swindle Charles K. Henry of Portland has recently published a little booklet in which he attempts to expose the methods and doings of the Provident Trust Company. He gives letters in the booklet showing how the Provident Trust Company had so established their re liability that they have many letters of recommendation from the most prominent business men and bankers of the state. The operations of the company were In 1914, and it seems such a safe and well-recommended proposl tion that the following local men were Induced to take bonds in the company: G. 3. Butler, president of the State Bank of Ashland; O. Win ter, director First National Bank of Ashland; W. A. Turner, director of The Citizens Bank; H. E. Badger, "The Gows" will be In Ashland some time in the near future.

The company soon went to smash, on account of depression in land val ues and the slow movement of real estate, at least, so it was represented by the company, as we gather from the booklet. Liquor Warehouse Is Being Built According to reports, the interests back of the construction of a bonded warehouse at Hornbrook, Cal., have the names of 380,000 users of splrit ous, malt and intoxicating liquors in the states of Oregon and Washington, says the Mail Tribune. When the two states go "dry" next January the warehouse will be ready for business and prepared to slack the thirst of the thirsty by mall and express. The law permits the purchase of two doz en quarts of beer and two quarts of spiritous liquor monthly per family, estimated to be twice as much as the average drinker uses at the present time. The work of securing the names of the drinkers has been under way Blnce the last election, is alpha- hotipallv arrammil on1 tahnlataa tha ' drinking proclivities of each.
