WILL ASK FOR STATE AID.
Agency Plains Farmers Want Appro
priation (or Drilling Deep Wells.
Residents of the Agency Plains,
a plateau comprising over 100
square miles of wheat laud adjacent
to Madras, will shortly prepare aud
circulate for signatures a petition
to the Oregon legislature asking
for an appropriation for the pur
pose of drilling deep wells for water
on the plains. The amount of the
appropriation suggested is $Sooo.
The farmers point out that if they
knew beyond question at what
depth water could be found iudtvid
ual wells could be drilled by the
farmers who could go at the work
with the assurance that their prop
erty would easily be increased in
value more than the cost of drilliug
the well, but at the present time
few, if any of them, are prepared
to go to the necessary expense in
experimental work. Futherraore,
they say that to solve tne water
problem of the Ageucy Plains would
in time prove a good investment to
the state, as the increased taxes
from that region would more than
repay the amount of the appropria
tion iuto the state treasury. Pio

A Wise Hen.
A. II. Grant has a very peculiar
but valuable hen. She is a good
layer aud furnishes his larder with
her full share of the present high
priced commodity known as eggs.
Her peculiarity lies in the fact that
every time she lays au egg, she
jumps from the uest aud begins to
pick up straws lying about aud to
toss them onto her back. Her
actions have caused considerable
wonder as to the cause until Mrs.
Grant happily hit upon the prob
able solntiqn. She says that the
hen is aware that eggs are 30 cents
a dozen and feels that she is entitled
to applause for her faithful layiug,
and if no one else will throw bo
quets at her, she will throw thetu
herself. Undoubtedly Mm. Grant
has discovered the solutiou of the
problem. A hen that will lay at.
egg daily is certaiuly worthy oft.
praise tlicic times.
