Pendleton. Ore.. June,
Editor East Oregonlan:
Among the many steps of progress
which our prosperous farmers have
taken during the last few years, there
Is one which I cannot refrain from
making known to the outride world,
and show to my neighbors what can
be done by the expenditure of a few
hundred dollars In the way of im
provements on our frms, and the labor-saving
which It brings.
For twenty years I have adhered to
the Idea that to get a well of water
on my farm located at the head of
Stage Gulch, was an utter Impossi
bility, and for the same number of
years I have day by day hauled water
for drinking and domestic purposes
from Pendleton and the Umatilla
river, a distance of 10 miles, and were
It not for the untiring efforts of Mr.
J. W. Chaney and his skill In the line
of well boring. I would still fe In the
same position I have occupied during
this period, but today, without ego
tism on my part, I can boast of having
not only the deepest, but one of the
best equipped wells In this county.
Over a year ago I secured the servi
ces of Mr. Chaney, and for 13 long
months did he hammer at this six
inch hole until at a depth of 537 feet
he rtruck what has proven to be an
abundance of water, standing at a
depth of 102 feet, and In spite of all
efforts cannot be reduced.
Now that Mr. Chaney had done his
work In the most satisfactory manner
the next question was, what would be
the best and cheapest way to get the
water to the surface that It would
be of use to me.
After figuring with some of your
local firms, I contracted with the
Taylor Hardware Co. to erect a Twelve
Foot Aermotor Mil! on a Thirty Foot
Steel Tower and to place In the well
2 Vk -Inch galvanized wrought Iron
plugged and reamed pipe, with a
heavy brass cylinder at the bottom
and a Myers Working Head at the top.
This equipment wa at the suggestion
of the Taylor Hardware Co., who
guaranteed me good results. Let me
tell you, the undertaking was in no
way a small one as the pipe alone
weighed something like S500 pounds,
which had to be coupled and lowered
Joint by Joint until a depth of 637
feet was reached. One careless move
or slip meant either the loss of this
well or the expense of replacing It,
but so carefully did their skilled pump
men, Messrs. Keating and Beeman
work, that not for one moment did
they lose control of this enormous
weight, but foot by foot lowered the
pipe without slip or hitch until the
bottom was reached. This great task
ended the mill and tower were soon
erected, and the pump placed In post
tlon, and It was then up to tbt wind
to say If the Job was a success or fail
ure, and I am proud to say, the word
failure never presented Itself once,
and today with an ordinary wind, this
mill and pump furnish me good,
pure water at the rate of five gallons
per minute, which Is more than I had
ever hoped to get, and much more
than we use.
I cannot too strongly recommend to
the farmers of this county who con
template purchasing wind mills and
pumps, those sold by the Taylor Hard
ware Co., and the square and honora
ble treatment I received from them.
My recommendations will be, first,
last and always, Aermotor Wind
Mills and Meyers Piimps.

Da vlon Creamery a Success.
The Dayton creamery started up a
few months ago Is proving a winner,
and its business is rapidly increasing
every month. During the month of
April 1407 pounds of butter was made
and 1325 was paid the farmers for
the cream. During May 15S8.98 was
paid for cream and 2804 pounds of
butter was manufactured, and this
month's recrd will be still better, for
new patrons are coming in every day.

LA GRAXDE NEEDS WATER,
Will Search for a Better and More
Profuse Supply.
At the meeting of the council Wed
nesday the principal matter for dis
cussion was that of securing the right
kind of a water supply for the city.
The sum of 1250 was voted for a
preliminary survey and Investigation '
of the feasibility of a supply from
Five Points creek. '
The mayor and the members of tho
council appear to be as a unit on the
two main propositions, viz: That La 1
Grande should have a complete and ,
wholesome water supply: that this
supply should be under the complete ,
ownership and control of the city. It '
Is believed the public has the same
view. La Grande Chronicle.

SINCLAIR WRITES OF PACKING HOUSES
In interview recently published by
the Atlanta Constitution, Upton Sin
clair, author of "The Jungle," a book
which has brought to light some dis
gusting methods of the Chicago pack
ers, has this to say In regard to the
food products of the meat trust:
"The slaughter houses of Chicago
are conducted on the principle that
meat once good Is always good. I
lived there seven weeks and saw with
my own eyes how the business is con
ducted. My amazement excited
amusement among the employes, who
regarded everything as such a matter
of course that they could not under
stand my wonderment.
"Reclaiming" Spoiled Hams.
"In Armour's, where spoiled hams
are treated In a cellar by a man who
pumps fluid Into them with a foot
pump, the stench of the decayed
meat Is unbearable, but I was laugh
ed at because I could not stand It
There Is not a can of meat In the
Armour establishment that does not
contain borax. Swift tt Co. have a
chemist under contract to perfect a
process of deodorizing putrefying
hams. Those spoiled In the smoking
process are sold as No. t. The ham
always spoils near the bone. This Is
taken out, a white-hot Iron Inserted
and the ham becomes a No. 1.
"Skinned hams," exploited as choice
articles, are only old hogs so big and
tough as to be unsalable. The (kin
is taken off, ground Into paste, flavor
ed with spices and sold as head
cheese.
No chicken art used In the Ar
mour plant for potted chickens. The
flesh of unsalable calves Is fur more
profitable, and Is used almost exclu
sively for that purpose. . Not a shred
of chicken meat enters the can.
Thousands of pounds of chemicals are
used to dye the meat and to retard
the decomposition. Old cows so near
ly dead that they have to be carted,
are used for the canned roast beef.
Fifty per cent of thm are with calf.
Soup and beef extracts are made
from tho liquid drained from this
boiled meat.
-" Hogs Dyed Red.
I have nn affidavit sworn to before
Alfred H. Jennings, notary, in which
the affiant declares that he was em
ployed for eight months by Swift &
Co. and had to leave because he could
not stand the business. He has, seen
hoge thrown Into vats to be dyed red
so the flesh would be a more natural
color. The commissioners have a
copy of the affidavit.
"Fancy Sardine OH."
A car line salesman has verified my
own observation to the letter. He
declares that the only chickens In the
Armour packing house were In cold
storage, and never were used for pot
ted chicken. He bears out further my
Investigation that cows' udders were
dyed and used as canned goods. Tu
berculosis In hogs Is so common as
to excite no remark. Hogs dead from
cholera or smothered to death In
transit ere shipped to Globe, Ind.,
and there turned Into hog grease.
Rome of this product Is shipped to
France and used In making a fancy
sardlnt oil.
