With the ble so close to the sur- the development of the proDiem ot lrn- le land is practically this valley, however, strong flows are found bnable depth or not. In of the artesian con- ir. waring says in nart: the publication in 1885 cellent paper by Cham- typical trough-shaped '-shaped basin, or allu- Bian slope, has often Bidered essential to ar- pnditions. In a typical artesian area the un frocks are comnosed of pervious and impervi- folded so as to form an Basin. Water that nun. the pervious beds is Iwithin them by the im- llayera above and below, and the head produced on the water in the lower portions of theso underground.'resorvoira by that in their upper parts, around the border of the basin, is sulli cient to cause the water to rise in wells'putjdown in tho lowest parts of the basin. "Although tho rocks of Harney County arc of effusive origin, and so would not seem at first thought to furnish such condit ions ofibedding and structure as are'demanded of artesian basins, yet the lava sheets intorbedded with porous tuffs do give the al ternation of pervious and imper vious layers that produces arte sian conditions. Four of tho valleys of this region are to some extent synclinal or saucer like'in" structure, and this feature willlbe treated in detail in con sidering the water possibilities in them. "In many places alluvium and sediments deposited in former lakes have filled valleys with al ternating layers of coarse and fine material, that often act es sentially as pervious and imper vious beds in the production of artesian head on the underground water. The current of a stream tne i rout ( u,at flows down from mountain being dis- ai0,)es is checked on entering the Walters, lowlands or on discharging into through a! a Jake, hence it drops a great has caused j ,mrt. nf it Innil n siinil nnd imi- veland other alluvial material. This is largely assorted by the continued slowing of the current, and the coarser particles are dropped first, while the finer are held longer in suspension. In this manner layers of coarse and fine material are deoositcd that through-, thin out down the slope into ' wedgelike sheets. The layers of fine material act as relatively impervious beds, confining water that seeps downward mainly to the coarser layers. Theso layers, by virtue of their slope toward the lowest portion of the alluvial cone, or of the lake basin, pro duce a head on the water thus confined that is in many locali ties sufficient to supply flowing wells when the water-bearing strata are properly tapped. "In certain parts of Harney and Alvord valleys conditions are favorable to the development of artesian water in the valley fillings, and flowing water has been developed in them to a slight extent." of moisture. In tho'Snnko river valloy, whero there is an nbund nnco of water ndd thorough sys tems ot irrigation thero aro no failures through drought, thero is no decrenso in the fertility of tho soil, but tho longer it is irri gated the more fertilo it be conies nnd tho oldest lnrms we have are tho most productive, whero draiungo has been nttond- ed to, being of equal importance with tho irrigation. Tho govern ment recently experimented with tho waters of tho Colorado river and determined by analysis that tho water used to irrigalo one aero of ground during tho irrigation season contained fertil izers, which, if purchased in the open market, would cost $7. GO per acre. Think what that menus, nature replenishes your soil each season and makes it produco constantly increasing crops. In tho rain belt tho con dition is just the reverse, tho rainfall moistens the soil, and tends to gradually decrease tho strength of tho soil. This is more forcibly illustrated in the quantity of protein harvested from irrigated lands, when com pared with tho best in tho rain belt sections. Corn is their great stnple, just us alfalfa is that of tho irrigated farm. An I eastern farm will produce about one ton of corn to the acre, corn contains about 10.3 per cent pro tein. Tho Snako river valloy farms produco from soven and onc-half'lo ten tons of alfalfa an acre, and alfalfa contains M.U per cent protein. Tho alfalfa is also produced by much less labor than required for the corn. Tho eastern man has an annual ex pense for fertilizers and heavy labor bills, while tho western man produces ten times the quantity at less expense. This explains why so many eastern farmers aro coming to the great Snako river valley, whero lands are cheap and productive and drought failures unknown; witli the short, mild winters and tho long growing seasons. -Argus.

IRRWATION VS. RAINFALL. Rainfall weakens tho fertility of the soil, irrigation strengthens it. Irrigation was resorted to some 3000 years ago in Babylon and Ninevah, when there was a question of how to get bread for the multitude. By accident it was discovered that the yield of the valleys could be doubled by irrigation. Yet today there are thousands of farmers who see their crops perish through lack fNE RANCH FOR SALE Splendid Opportunity For Stockmen We will sell tho part of the holdings of tho Ameri- Land & Live Stock Company known ns the Colony ich, located on Colony Creek in the southern part of icy County.

Why should not the empty lot and the idlo timber section owned by the man with tho big red auto help pay for some good roads? He would not bo at any permanent loss. If the local properly own ers and residents aro willing to pay one-half tho state could pay tho other. In some sections of the civilized globe tho farmers get roads that way. Ex. There aro those who seem to find the belittling of a favor a necessury part of its acceptance. If they can argue to their own satisfaction that the servico did not amount to much, that no one could in decency have done much less, that it really was not so much a matter of kindness as a plain duty, and that probably some selfish or ignoble motive lay at tho root of it in any case, then they have arrived at a state of mind that frees them from nny undue senso of obligation.

It may lie cut up into small tracts or possibly held for pasturage and hay by the big packing people. A recent dispatch from San Francisco says: After more than a year of speculation rela tive to the sale of tho famous S. Miller & Lux properties, it wns staled today that Henry Miller had given tho Armour packing interests an option on tho Ore gon and California holdings of tho company, which include hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable lands, water and, power lights and livestock. Ac cording to unquestioned infor mation, Miller & Lux have been negotiating with the Armours for some time. A representative of tho big packing interests, G. II. Hutchinson of Chicago, has been in frequent conference with Miller nnd .1. Leroy Nickel in the company's olliees in tho Mer chants Exchange building. Tho report of tho gigantic deal was tho subject of much gossip in banking nnd financial circles today, it being freely stated thai Miller had tendered to the Ar mours an option on the Miller & Lux propet ties in Oregon and California. Inquiry dieted tho information that Miller, Ixiuia F. Monteaglo and Gustav Gutsch, tho latter two being directors of Miller & Lux, were all in the San Joaquin valloy, -together with Hutchinson, who is making a critical examin ation of the extensive properties on tho wesl side of the river. If the deal is consummated it will involve tho transfer of ninny millions of dollars, The Califor nia holdings of Miller & Lux consist mainly of hundreds of Ihousauds of acres of land in the San Joaquin valloy and elsewhere in the stale. Somo of tho lands aro rich in oil wealth. The com pany owns besides thousands of horses and cattle and valuable water and power rights, as well as abattoirs and cold storage plants.
