fifty artesian wells. The first one was
found at Pullman, purely by chance,
while some workmen were boring for a
common well. PalouBe City has two ar
tesian wells, Morrow three, Bellemont
one, and there are many others. One of
the wells flows 500 gallons per minute,
or 30,000 gallons each hour, and the flow
continues regularly and without dimin
ution. (irauil Lecturer D. C. Herrin.
A correspondent of the Baker City
Democrat, writing from Sumpter, epeaks
very highly of the grand lecturer and
organizer of the A. O. U. W.,our towns
man, I). C. Herrin, and concludes his
letter as follows :
In such a telling way does Mr. Herrin
impress great truths upon the minds of
his auditors. He does not descend to
bickerings over the merits or demerits of
rival societies, but his work is as broad
as humanity; and if perchance there
has been one influenced to join an insur
anco order by Mr. Herrin's potent words i
who in some dark hour shall be called to
mourn the loss of their life companion,
I confidently assume he or she will not
call to mind anything Mr. Herrin said
about the superlative worth of the An
cient Order of United Workmen, but
that the leciurer so represented the un
certainty of life and its living, breathing
duties toward the loved ones in their
sacred charge, that he was induced to
take out insurance, and having done so
bless him for being the instrument to
that end.

Much damage was done to gardens
and property in Dayton and countrv
south of the city Monday afternoon of
this week, at which time an electric
storm, accompanied by a very heavy
rain in the city and cloudburst above
town was experienced, says the Dayton
Courier.
The electric current was seen playing
around the wires on Main street, and
the residence belonging to Nightwatch
Geo. Wick was Btruck. the current going
down the chimney and changing the
stovepipe from black to red in an in
stant. A daughter of Mr. Wick's was
quite badly etunned by the shock and
her flesh somewhat scorched, but she
was not seriously aflected. Threo other
children were in the house at the time,
but were not disturbed.
In the upper part of Dayton much
damage was done to gardens through the
water from a supposed cloudburst com
ing down Van Patten's gulch and carry
ing everything in its course. The water
was several feet deep along the gulch.
On what is known as the rocky grade,
about three miles above this city on tJio
main Touchet, large rocks were rolled
down the hillside to the road below for a
distance of 300 yards or more along the
grade, completely stopping traffic for a
while, and much of the grade, which
had just been widened, was washed
away.
Some grain is reported to be battered
down and destroyed, but it is thought
not to any great extent. Pioneers of
this section say Monday's rain was by
far the heaviest ever experienced in this
locality. Walla Walla Statesman,
