REDUCED RAILROAD FARES Everybody rejoices with Bro H H Willburn, at Mayville, that he has struck a flowing vein of good water on his flour mill site. The drill was only down 108 feet; a 4- lb pressure from a six inch pipe exists and the flow is 3000 gallons an hour—72,000 per d a y ; what a fine thing that would be for Moro. This drill had only been at work ten days, and the event is certainly one of the most important in all the history of Gilliam county as a flow of artesian water will rightly solve the problems of diversified farming. This well cost Mr Will- burn less than $1,500, and is worth $100,000 to Mayville—he virtually makes his neighbors a present of $98,000. Think what a gift that is and feel thankful for it. National Educational Association, San • Francisco July 8-14.
