The following, lakeu from thePullmnn

the water overflowed freely to the great
satisfaction of not only Mr. True, but
th. interested citiztns who soon fathered
iu crowds to see the first artesian well in
Pullman. Tb. hole is six iuohes iu di
ameter, nnd the flow by actual measure
ment is 50 gallons per miuute, or 72,000
gallons iu tweuly four hours. In cities
where water is supplied for water closets,
etc, it is estimated that Hie consumpliou
to each individual is twenty-five gallons
a day; thi. well, then, will supply the
needs of a towu of 3,000 habitants.

water iu every room in bis hotel. The
value of thn well to the owner can not

water can be bad so easily makes it po.

Palmer, who was on the Haystack
SHEARING
is now in full blast and the personnel of
the old crews are encountered in all
parts of the country. Johnny Stephens
is captain of an outfit of Webfoot clip
pers, consisting of Mark Wstera, Oliver
Doolittle, John and Henry Hawk, Dave
Hardy and J. Fitzwater. They are juct
finishing up the 3.5J0 head of stock
sheep belonging to the Silas French es
tate. The great John Keizeur crew has
among its members this year the famous
California clipper, Tho. Pierce, and fol
lowing: Doc Moore, John Loonev.
Manly Keizeur, Dug Hurt, Monroe Por
ter and Burt Williams. They have just
finished Doc nnd John Brown's bands,
at the South Fork shearing oorral, and
are now at work at Old Ferg's, on the
Keeney place, and will then proceed to
Burt Tow nsend's.
Ferguson & Pate have sold the Keeney
place to the Downers, and as soon as
their sheep are shorn are going to cross
the Columbia nnd summer their flock in
the Wina'hie mountains, beyond Ellens
burg, and will meanwhile hunt a loca
tion in the Big Beud country.
This programme will be closely fol
lowed hy Major C. L. Sweeney, of Lower
Willow oreek, and. from repoits, many
other bauds will leave range during pres
ent season for pastures new in the sweep
ing sea of grass that stretches away from
the Columbia bend away up into the
Canadian Northwest.
The Gillahans, of Lost valley, are
moving their horses to the Okanogan
and are about on the other side of the
Columbia. Elmer Holcomb, of Lone
Rock, is with the outfit.
Tip Mobley, of Lower Rock creek, iH
gathering his 3j0 head of cattle prepara
tory to taking the trail for Badger moun
tain, in the Big Bend. He will leave his
family on their Rock Creek ranch for the
preseut. Ee is negotiating with French
Charley for a lease of 100 head of young
oows.
The stock is moving out rapidly, aud
though those who propose remaining are
wincing somewhat at the prospect of in
creased taxes, due to the decreasing of
property, they are elated at the prospect
of seeing a slightly better chance for
grass.
There will probably be more barbed
wire stretched this season than during
any two years agone, because the horBe
and cattlemen, who have fully concluded
to stick it out, have made bi? transfers
of stock for land and barbed wire. Among
the latter are G. W. Flett and French
Charley, who are fencing areas of about
four scotions eaoh.
I have discovered French Charley's
actual name his maiden name, as it
were and as it is tolerably certain that
I'm about the only man in Oregon that
bas ever discovered it, I impart it here
as fresh and original information. It is
Pinoes.
Bill Hendrix is also gathering his cat
tle for the purpose of driving to the Big
Bend, nnd this time he is going "sure
enough," as all his help has been en
gaged for the trip and his trail wagons
are pruii ie-schoouer rigged, with bows,
water-barrels and grub-boxes. His horses
will be left on this range and will be
bred and handled at his Camas prairie
pastures.
Elija Hendrix is buying cavalry horses
for the Walla Walla garrison. William
Sncll is riding for him.
Scbott, of Rock creek, is going to take
3J0 head of his cattle to the Big Beud,
in company with Bill Hendrix.
The other day, at a Rnclr creek post
office, the question of, "has anybody in
this couuty to the present time made it
ahead ou upland farming," and after dis
cussing the matter at length and in de
tail, it was decided at least that Wiley
McBre and Stauton, of Eight Mile, aud
Wetherford, of Shuttler B'lat, certainly
had, and the latter, regardless of the fact
that he is obliged to haul the water
ueoessary to enrry on his work a distance
of more than five miles. Instancing oue
of Mr. Wetherford's farming enterprises,
one of his near neighbors related the
fact, that last summer he bought half a
seotion of Shuttler Flat bunob-grass
from French Charley and paid $3,00Jcash
down for it. Last fall he sowed 160 acres
of this land in wheat, which has thrived
so well that it is now beyoud all danger
of drought, aud from whiou, at the most
modest estimate, a harvest of 3,000 bush
els is figured on, which, at AO cents per
bushel, w ill pay for the land put in this
season, minus, of course, the expense
connected with raising of the crop, which,
though, perhaps, heavy, will nt any rate
leave a wide margin of profit to Mr.
Wethorford.
There is moreover very few stockmen
in the country who are not fanning more
or less upland, and if it did not pay
them it is not presumable that they
would continue to do it.
Mr. Charles Shnltze, the surveyor, of
Olex, is up in the Spokan. country,
where he has become interested in a
tow nsite some six miles below Spokane
Falls. His family are still at the old
homestead on the creek, where, like most
of the old settlers, they are only biding
their time for amove. Mrs. Shultzewill
join her husband before winter, and Guy
will take the horses to some yet unde
cided portiou of the Big Bend.
Mrs. Durbin, Mrs. Shultze's daughter
nd her husband, are residing on the old
Greenwood estate, near Salem, whioh
her father-in-law, Sol Durbin, purchased
a year or two ago.
This is, iudeed, the halcion year for
every fruit but apples, which blighted in
the blossom to some extent. All along
the Columbia auu on the lower bottoms
of the principal creeks the cherries are
ripening, peach aud plum trees arebend-
i ing with a burden of well formed fruit
aud the grapevines are blossoming.
It is warmirg old chestnuts to soy
anything about the general magnificence
of the crops and the grass on the up
lands this season, but the broad, waving
expanses of dark-green grain lands look
so much better than many of the fields
i along the creeks that one can not help
' considering why the once prolific bot
: torn lands nre playing out. Perhaps it is
because they have been farmed so long,
; or may-be because the oreek bed. are
j wearing si deep that neither livening
I ohinooks or raius will .iifficiently over
; How the banks to flood the bottoms.
I The mountains are still so wet and
' miry that but little of the stock have as
' yet worked back upon the summit range.
: Grass aud browse are very late this year
; in the woodlands; but few of the sun
tiowers are bl ssouiing, cam t. is in the
bud and the yellow lillies are still linger-
, ing in the tall grass.
