AnRORA WELL-BORING
PROVES A FAILURE
As Last Resort It I Proposed to

Being Taken Out.
(Sped! OUpatch to Tbe JoamaL)
' Aora, Or., Sept. 4.i-ork of boring
for water for a city waterworks system
t for Aurora has been discontinued at
, ths present location. The well was
' bored 4&Q feet, snd the Indications at
i, that depth showed it would be useless
f1 to go any farthsr.
f i The well was cased with S, I and 4ty
' r inch pipe, and for ths past week work
.j, men havs been taking the pipe out pre-
paratory to putting In a charge of
dynamite la ths hols and shooting ths
V well, with the expectation that the ex
t plosion might open up a vein of water.
t But with the pipe all out of the hole,
' those who profexs to know say the
f explosion will fill up the hole, and
I sven if a vein of water was tapped It
t could not reach the surface.
Thsrs ' la soarosly a wonder at ths
high tids of prosperity in ths Paolflo
northwest whsa such high prioes are
bslng received by producers of fruits
and grains.
Almost every day aow ws hear of rao-ord-brsaklng
values for southern Ore
gon pears In the eastern and Canadian
markets. Ths sppls crop is sure to bs
a surprlssr from a flnanolal point of
Tlew. The Oregon country is orowded
with buyers at this time and thsrs will
bs much competition among them for
this best frulU anywhere in the world.
Ths producer of wheat Is. this year
probably the most Independent of all
producers; unless perhaps It is ons of
ths favored ones who live In ths Rogue
river or Hood river valleys and are abls
to bring forth a product better,, than
ths best obtainable elsewhere. The
northwestern whsat producer will this
season clean up a profit that will put
him on easy strset for several years
to ooms.
