SATHER A Full Lino of Groceries, Dry Qoods and Hardware always on I Five fanners living In the Laid law and Tutnalo districts have dug wclli and have been so fortunate as to find water at a depth of 10 feet. The water Is cold and pure and Is there In great abundance for stock and domestic piirpor.es, and will prove a great Loon to those who urc furtuune enough to have these wells. The five farmers arc Clias Spauith, Gene Wimer, G. W. Snyder, L. II. Root and Frank Swisher. Not long ago one of these men thought he would dig down a few feet and sec if he could find water. flit neighbors ridiculed him in a good natureu way and said he was throwing away his time and labor. He replied that M didn't care if he was wasting hii timethat it lie failed to find water he would at least know what the soil was like. So he continued his digging and when he had got downright or nine feet struck a . fine flow of water. The neighbors who were so ready to ridicule him at once followed his example with the result that all of them now have wells. f The presence of water at this deph is explained from the fact that irrigation ditches have been carrying water through that section for about four years, and It is be lieved the seepage from the ditches is gradually accumulating in dis tricts where the underground forma tion is such that it will hold the water. This accumulation of water makes possible the wells. BASKGT SOCIAL. various kinds will be given by the Library Club from time to time, and the proceeds will go toward the support of the library.

Beavers seem to be on the in crease in this part of the state, tin der the protection of the law which provides a $500 fine for killing one of these industrious little animals. All the creeks nnd rivers in north cm and central Lake and Kalamath counties, in timbered sections es pecially, are being taken possession of to a greater, or less extent by the beaver, and in some few instances they are causing trouble to irri gationists by building dams that interfere with the flow of water. One colony has taken possession of Silver creek about a half mile above town and has built several dams-and houses, cutting many quaking asp saplings, some of which were larger than a stove pipe.

Business stdrtcd out at the bank in a brisk manner Monday morn ing, a goodly sum having been de posited by Bend people the first day that the bank was open.

Plans have been made to begin at an early date prospecting for oil in the vicinity of Madras, aud the numerous indications of oil which bdvc been found in this district wilt be thoroughly prospected in order to dctcrmiue whether or not oil exists here in paying quantities These plans have been perfected, and it is stated that there is suffi cicnt capital behind the enterprise to insure a thorough investigation of the various prospects, and actual drilling will begin just as soon as sufficient leases have been secured upon the laud in the immediate vicinity of the points where the first wells will be sunk, Mr. Frank For est, a prominent stockman of this county, is now engaged in securing these leases, which it is reported are being very generally signed without any opposition. It has been known for several years past that good oil prospects had been discovered in this section of Crook couuty, and several years ugo an option was taken on the Dave Barnett ranch with a view to making a thorough investigation of a prospect found on his place, but this pltlu never materialized, and up until this time there has uot been an effort made to follow up and test any of these prospects. These indications of oil have been fouud in a territory of considerable scope, covering practically all of this cud of western Crook county. It is the plan of the preseut pros pectors to sink several deep wells. Preparations have been made to go to a depth of a 1000 to 1500 feet. The leases under which the pros pecting will be conducted are liberal in their provisipus for the land owner, whose interests in the land and In any discQvery made upon it are amply protected. Among other, provisions in the lease is one that if no oil is found in paying quanti ties, but water is found, the well becomes the property of the laud owner without any cost to him ex cept the actual cost of the casing. If, however, artesian water is found nnd no oil, the land owner agrees to purchase the same at the cuoto !mary price of a well drilled to a depth of 600 feet, irrespective of whether the well has been drilled to a depth of 1000 or 3000 feet. And, any rancher in this district cdn afford to pay the price af a 600 foot drilled well to secure artesian water on his land. In the event oil is fo.und in paying quantities, the lease provides for a royalty of ten per cent to the land owner, so that in any even the, the land owner, has his intcrc-fts taken care of and cannot but be benefited by the work done on his place.- The leiscs also provide for on option on tnc land, at a price fixed by the owner.
