FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1908. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. ARTESIAN BASINS Imitation, Hot iprlngi ordinarily rise from depths so great that even Uj they ?ome from; well defined .Ml'er.chirged layer 'Jt would W un available ai a source of supply for most purposes for t- which artcilan waier is usee, a j tne expense of dril ling to reach it would be unjustifiable. The report referred to, which may be obtained free of charge by apply lug to the Director of the Geological Survey at Washington, D, C. contains a' discussion of the artesian condi tions, Illustrated by diagrams, and de scribes the various basins, whose lo cations are shown by a sketch map, A detailed account of the wells and springs of the region is given, and suggestions are made in regard to the Mze of drill holes, casing of wells, and preservation of well records, the importance of which is too often overlooked. Needs for Restrictive Legislation. The necessity for legislation re striding the utilization, or rather the wate, of subiturface waters Is also emphasised. Owners should be com pclled by law to case every drill hole in an artesian basin that is, to place an Iron casing or tube in the hole, made sufficiently tight to prevent water form rising outside of it. Such a caning should be put in every well that remains open. The lower end of the casing should be just above the water-bearing bed. This should I done, not only in the interest of the owner himulf, but because the escape of water from an artesian basin in excess of the natural overflow means a decrease in pressure on the portions remaining and, consequently a lower I n K of the artesian head. In arid regions cspecialy the problem of economically using water and main- , , ' i . i . 'of public concern.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SPRINGS The Necessity for Legislation Re atrictlng the Utilisation or Rather the Waste of Subsurface Waters la Also Emphasised. Flowing wells can probably be ob tained in a number of districts in southeastern Oregan, and southwest ern Mtilio, according to a report issued by the United States Geolog ical Survey as Water-Supply Paper No. 78. This report, which was pre pared by the lute Prof. I. C. Russell, is the remit of a geological inveatiga tion in parts of Canyon and Owyhee counties, Idaho, and of Malheur and Harney counties, Oregon, made with the special object of discovering lo calities where flowing water can be obtained by drilting wells. The presence of artenian conditions in an area is frequently inferred by geologist from a study of rock struc ture. In what is properly termed an arteian basin the layers of rock are bent downward, so as to resemble a pile of shallow plate-shaped dishes placed one within another. One or more of the beds of rocks is porous are I . ,, vm m.ivn iiw. in uv ffiiuuiu , ,, , ... ... securely closed, and that every aban- rocks, like clay, that prevent the,. ', ' ... escape of the water in the beds be tween them.t A number of such structural baius are found in the re gions studied by Professor Russell. Significance of Springe. Confirmation of the supposition that water under pressure exists doncd well in an artesian area should be completely filled with impervious material. An artesian basin is not an inexhaustible reservoir, and every practicable means should be em ployed for its conservation and leg itimate use. beneath the surface in any area is' found at many places in the occur- Prof. H. A. Howell, ol Havana, Cuba, rence of warm prings those with Recommends Chamberlain a temperatures raiding from 60 degrees to 100 degrees l As the water in artesian basins has descended from the surface, and as the temperature of the earth, increases with depth, the deeper the water has penetrated into the rocks the higher will be its tem perature. The increase in the tem perature of the earth below a ddpth of about SO feet in temperature re gions is in general about 1 degree F. for each 60 feet, but there is conclu sion that in southern Idaho and ad jacent parts of Oregon the rate of increase is approximately 1 degree F. for each' 45 feet in depth. At the depth of 50 feet the temperature cor responds to the mean annual temper ature of the locality chosen, which in this region is approximately SO de grees F., so that if a spring in this region has a temperature of 65 de grees F., or 15 degrees above the tem perature of the stratum of no sea sonal variation, it would be safe to conclude that the water rises from a depth of at least 675 feet below that stratum, or 725 feet below the surface. Such a spring would therefore serve as an indication of the depth to which a well should be bored to penetrate the water-charged rock layer. Professor Russed calls attention to the fact that while warm springs may Indicate the presence of a water charged layer that would supply flowing wells, a hot spring, or one having a temperature of more than 100 degrees, is not so favorable an Cough Remedy. "As long ago as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, but never in my life have I real ized its true value until now," writes Prof. II. A. Howell, of Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba. "On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold, the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment Even then his breathing was difficult I did not think he would live until morning. At last I thought of my mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded prompt re lief, and now, three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the cir cumstances I would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that only, saved the life of our dear little boy." For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists.

This is the sea son of flush production in California; and it is always a few weeks earlier than that of Oregon. As yet there is no serious accumulation of Oregon stocks here, but production is steadily increasing and the necessity of a low er price is generally felt in the trade. Grain, Flour, Feed.
