The experiment Of sinking a series
of artesian wells along the line Of the
Union Pacific Railroad is proving a
success. The railroad company has
already successfully sunk six of these
wells, which are copiously flowing
There is one well innGery los miles
along the entire line. The depths range
from 300 to Lac feet, and the bore is
six inches in diameter. This demon
trated success Of artesian wells is the
solution of the problem of a water
supply and the eventual irrigation and
development of the now sterile and
desert-likc great western plains. The
quality of the water obtained is about
the same as that of the wells at Omaha,
containing in solution, alkaline-salts,
soda, magnesia and lime, but not sufli-
cient in quantity to render itnnwhole-
some.

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore

Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair

consequently prevent badness. The
