ARTESIAN

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-

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

PORTLAND, March 10. -Further
shipments of California butter to this
market are expected within a few
days, and it is quite proabable that
local prices will be put down this
week In order to meet the competi
tion from the South. 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.

. . . , The Wily Owl.
A party of, horsemen were traveling
along Bridge creek, a tributary of Bad
Water river, Wyoming, when their
horses suddenly shied off the track at
tho sound of a "rattle."- Bearch was
made for the snako, but It was finally
found that the sound proceeded from
the burrowing owl, which lives In the
burrows of tho prairie dog, often, it is
snld, lu company with the rattlesnake.
Seated on a post the party heard the
Owl give a third rattle. And whenever
they passed the spot It gave warning
by its rattle, and the horses always
shied off the track In alarm.-American
