The surface, while apparently dry, has water under It and good wells are struok at a depth of from 14 to 20 feet. The wells we ex amined had ample water supply, and without alkali.

"We went up Lake creek to Buttle lake, a body of clear water about three miles long and one mile wide, full of trout.

Joaquin Miller, "Poet of the Sierras," la In town preparing for a trip Into tho Bluslaw country. 40 miles from Eugene, where, with his brother, he Is planning to construot an Immense power plant to furnish electricity to Eugene and points In the vicinity.

Mr. Miller has just received the first volume of his latest gem. called "Ughir from the press of Herbert B. Tumor A Co., of Boston. It Is written of tha true new woman of today, and dedicated to the coming true man of tomorrow. He calls It his longest and best effort, and the foregoing verse Is one of lta most Underset sentiments. The Hlghts" (note the Carneglflsed spelling), Joaquin Miller's pleasant home a mile from Oakland ralifornia la I to be deserted by the poet In favir of a r residence in Oregon. TThero Is nothing new wmi me in tolitlcs," said the poet, "although ths newspapers have spread the report that I want to represent the commonwealth of Oregon in the senate. The report, however, spread like wild fire, and I had to hurry up and get out of eastern Oregon for fear they would consign me to the senate. Between you and me. though, I aim higher; nothing short of the presidency of the United Slates will satisfy me." Inspects Historical Bxhlblta. Testerday Mr Miller was a visitor at the Oregon Historical society rooms In the city hall, and enthusiastically In spected the exhibit. Many thfcngs he saw that were familiar to his eyes when he was a prospector, hunter and justice of the peace in the olden days. In company with C. B. Watson of Ash land the poet will visit the Josephine county caves before going to the Blus law, to determine their size He in tends to spend several weeks there, and It Is possible that ha will leave this week. Mr. Miller has visited the Mam moth cave of Kentucky, the largest known cave In the world, and It will be the duty of his party, he says, to explore fully the Josephine caverns to get some Idea of slxe. They have long been regarded as In a class with the Mammoth cave for also, and if found to exceed that great natural wonder In extent will be appropriately named and heralded to the world. Usee) Simplified Spelling. "I spell like Carnegie," said the poet when his attention was called to the absence of the Intter "a" In the name of his country place 'The Hlghts." near Onkland. "I admire the simplicity of the new style, and would like to see It adopted. The people would come grad ually to know It more Intimately If -the newspapers would adopt tha simplified form and dally present It to tha eyes of the people. "But you ought to sea The Hlghts,'" tho poet rapturously exclaimed. "All of you Oregon people will find a warm wel come there, and If It gets too warm for you we can go out under the shads of any 'one Of the 60,000 trees and cool off. It's a beautiful place, and I hate to give It up, but mother's death recent ly haa made It lonely for ma In Cali fornia, and I want to spend my declining days In the circle of our family."
