ton Bank 4 Trust company opened
ltg ioors for business Monday morn
ing In the Syndicate block. Mr. Reed
has arrlved,.here from Montana to
take up the duties of cashier. This
promises to be one of the leading in
stitutions of the kind along the line
of the project, and has good, strong
backing. Hermlston now has two
banks.
Fred Russell of Great Falls, Mon
tana, who is connected with the Ore
gon Hardware A Implement company
at this place, was a recent business
visitor here.
The. Baptist church building com

Interest,
Alfalfa cutting has been in progress
for some weeks In the Echo country,

1- Things Ars moving along nicely af
the government u2f"i according to
last reports. The recent Vleit of En
gineers D. C. Henney and E. G. Hop
son gave rise to the report that an
eariy cening of the lands could be
looked 'forward tQ. It is not believ
ed that it win be many, months be
fore this will be the case, however,
a great throng of people will be com
ing in at that time.
An effort will be made by some
of the enterprising citizens to have
stockyards built In Hermlston as soon
as possible, so that cattle shipments
can easily be made lrom this points
; Discovers New Bird
Harry Burke of the Hermlston
Realty company, who recently dIS1
covered several new species of wild
flowers In this vicinity, has aits dis
covered some new birds In the Her
mlston country; and he is considered
quite an ornithologist He has
found what Is known as the black
winged Orchard oriole and the Eng
lish nuthatch. According to infor
mation received by the writer, in
1893, 14 years ago, some one brought
to Oregon, to the headwaters of the
Willamette, a lot of English birds,
among them being the skylark,
thrush, nuthatch and robin. They
. were turned loose, as the climate
was considered very similar to that
of southern England. A few of the
birds prospered, and there are many
of them in the state now, but some
were never heard from. It Is more
than probable that this nuthatch
could be trac&d to that collection of
birds. . .

WATER ON AGENCY PLAIN'S.
Rejoicing In Northern Purt of Crook
County.
There Is rejoicing in the Madras
country today. WUer has been struck
in the well being drilled on the Agency
plain on the ranch of, W. F. Maglll,
10 miles north of this place, the flow
being tapped at a depth of 420 feet
and the water rising 60 feet In the drill
hole, says a correspondent from Mad
ras, Crook county. The drillers state
that the first water brought out of
the well was warm. Several express
the opinion that an artesian flow will
be developed when the well is cased.
The water was encountered. In a
layer composed of soft soapstone and
clay and drilling Is being continued In
order, if possible, to get a hard bot
tom for the well.
All on the Water Wagon.
Persons who have not experienced
the hardships of a waterless country
can scarcely realize what It means. It
means that unless once or twice each
week the farmer hitches four horses
to his water tank and drives from
three to 12 miles for water, he finds
himself wltout this Indispensable ele
ment no water to drink, no water for
his household needs, no water for his
chickens, hogs, cows or work horses.
With fertile lands and delightful cli
mate, and now, promise of the pass
ing of the serious handicap of lack
of water for household and ranch pur
poses, the spirit of rejoicing is strong
upon every resident of the district and
this baptism of water, although ub
terranean, has washed away many of
the sins of this country, in, the Judg
ment of the People who love It and
are developing It.

I HOUSEKEEPERS
WILL PUMP AT LA GRANDE.
O. R. & N. Abandon Hope of Artesian
Water.
Division Engineer BollOns, of the O.
A. A N., has ordered a let-up in In
creasing the depth of the artesian
well in the O. R. & N. yards in this
city, says the Observer of La Grande,
and yesterday the diggers, Messrs.
Miller & West, returned to Portland
for final instructions..
The officials of the O. R. & N. are
satisfied with the well as It now Is,,
and the flow of more than 100 gallons
per minute Is sufficient to meet their
demands. During the attempt to in
crease the flow the officials were not
so much desirous of having more
water as they were to have pressure
enough to raise the water to a tank
without the aid of pumps. They have
decided, however, that they will re
sort to the pump method. Conse
quently a pump will be Installed In
the well and the flow forced by me
chanical apparattis to a water tank
for distribution to engines and round
house needs.
One reason for not going deeper
Is that officials feared another stream
of Impure water would be tapped and
thus ruin the practicability of the well.
The casing now reaches a depth of 875
feet.
In Huntington Next.
The diggers are In Portland receiv
ing definite Instructions relative to
the well which they will dig for the
O. R. A N. in the Huntington yards.
There is already a flowing well nl
the vicinity of that city, and the pos
sibility of finding another one there
is promising. The end of this week
will see the diggers at work at the
O. R. & N. terminal.
