W. S. Byers, Proprietor.
Engineers of tin- ijeologlcal survey,
ftfl-f rfK'nK e :j mulont It. foutf
eastern OrcRon and southwestern
Idaho, havo come to :Jyj conclusion
that the Irrigation ot that countty
must be largely worked out through
tho utilization of artesian well water.
The Otis artesian basin, about six
miles northwest of Drewscy, Or., has
not been drilled, although tho gov
ernment engineers believe that water
under a fair pressure will be found
in that vicinity. It is expected that
an area of 20 square miles will show
the presence of more or less sub-mir-face
water. In their report on .this
artesian baBln the engineers say:
"Tho Harney artoulan basin em
braces the extensive region draining
Malheur and Harney lakes, and as
shown by its geological structure may
be expected to yield flowing wells
throughout an area of perhaps 1,000
square miles. Two drill holes, one
near Harney and the other near
Burns, have been put down and have
demonstrated the existence of sub
surface water under sufficient press
'ire to force It to the surface, where
wells are drilled to the requisite
depth and properly cased.
Water Comes Up Warm.
"The artesian head, as indicated by
these wells, has an elevation of about
4,100 feet. The thickness of rocks
Involved in the formation of tho ba
sin, however, probably exceeds 10,0o0
feet, and water-bearing horizons at a
greater depth than those now known
may reasonably be expected to be
plcsem.
Several warm and hot springs In
the Harney basin, as already men
tioned, lend support to the prediction
that success will follow a, careful fx
plorilion of the basin with tho d ill
shore tho surface elevation Is less
than that of Harney or Burns.
"Tiio Whitehorse artesian basin is
located about 20 or 25 miles east of
the higher portion of Stein mounmn,
and Includes the valley in which the
former military post known as the
Whitehorse waB locatod. Here,
again, the geological structure and
ttw pieecnce of warm springs aro mf
flclently stiong indications to warrant
a careful exploration with tho drill
with tho hope of obtaining a surface
How of v ater.
"The artesian head, as Bhown by
the warm springs about six miles
fouth of Whitehorse ranch, Is well
above tho fiat lands of tho valley's
bottom. The area throughout which
one is seemingly justified in predict
ing success In case wells bto drilled
Is not less than 30 equaro miles.
Incoming of Water Necesary.
"Tho four artesian basins briefly
described abovo contain about 2,000
square miles of rich agricultural land
throughout which the conditions Jus
tify the opinion that flowing wator
may bo oETalned. It does not follow
from this that all, or oven tho greater
part, of the tracts referred to can be
Irrigated, as it is to bo presumed that
the water Biipply will not bo adequato
to meet all tho demands that will
be made up. i It.
"The expense Involved In drilling
a well nnd tho certainty that tho wa
ter supply even under the most san
guine expectations which may soem
warrantable Is not inexhaustible,
make it imperative that there should
be the strictest economy In tho uso
of the water and rigid restrictions
with reference to its wnsto."

ting Washington and California an
illustrious example."

"We the undersigned legal voters

TO STOP RATE CUTTING.
Prices of Patent Medicines Will Be
Kept Up.
New York, Jan. 7. Retail drug
gists throughout the country will
watch with interest tho results of a
plan put Into-effect In New York city
tnis wtei, by the largest manufactur
ers of proprietary, or patent, medi
cines to stop tho cutting of prices
oil such articles by druggists nnd do
pnrimtnt stores.
This is the first time that tho pro
prietors themselves bavo taken a di
rect interest In the solution of tho
cut-rate problem. Heretofore they
have "supported" movements con
ducted by others, notably tho Nation
al Hetall Druggists' association, but
that support has Invariably bo-sn
more or less hike warm. Now, how
ever, about 12 or 15 of tho leading
manufacturing hoiibes have come to

DdiiiIi Oriiltir-.
An amusing game Is dumb oratory,
which must always Ik- played by two
persons, though the spectators may be
as many !i (he tpace of the room will
permit.
The dumb oriilor Is quite hidden
that is. all but his bunds mid arms.
The tulklii-; orator takes up his posi
tion Jtifct In front, with his bauds and
arms behind his back, while the hands
nnd uriiiN of the dumb orator are
thrust forward, Just ns If they belong
Ml to the sH-iiUer. It Is best to select
a mt.v "elocutionary" piece, which re
quires niiiiiy gesturt-s. These the dumb
orator makes ureordlng to his own
ideas, quite regardless of the uilktng
orator, who goes serenely on his way.
The effect Is very funny, and the so
berer the piece the funnier It all looks,
It Is better that the dumb orator should
not have any Idea what piece the talk
ing orator will recite.
X Cat anil ffa Tulr.
Cats and dogs are hupped to hate
each other, especially the cats, Nc
doubt pussy has good reason to go In
fear of the (log. Still there are many
cats and dogs that are not ouly civil tc
oue another, but positively friendly.
There was one tabby which was at
fond of the dog of the family that she
could not bear to In- separated from It
She would mew In bear trending fash
ion to get into the room where was th
do;:, aud If no heed were paid to uvi
cries she kcratched aud scratched at
tho door, trying to scrape admittance.
When this failed. It ia said that she
then raised herself up ou her hind legs,
turned the handle of the door and walk,
ed Into the room, tier owners were so
enchanted with her skill, as well the;
might be, that they used to set pu-jr
to repeat the feat.
Salem, Jan. 7. Tho board of Inn
