AKTEsIAN WEIIs.-The machinery COM
P'ete TOR boring artesian wells came up by
The Railroad, Sunday last. This machinery
Is the properly of Mr.. Frasier. living near
Milton Oregon, and We presume is to be used
In that immedidate peighbOrhood. Several
years since we urged upon our authorities
the proPrie'y of Offering e premium for the
INST artesian well bored in this valley, aud
had the experiment then been made, We be-
lieTe that it would have added immeasur-
ably to the wealth of the valley. We have
thousands and tens Of thousands of acres Of
in this valley that have heretofore besn neg
lected on account Of the scarcity OF water,
and this difficulty We are Confident can be
overcome by means Of artesian wells. Our
Umstilla county neighbors have the enter
prise to make the experiment, and if they sue
ceed it will he no trick at all for our slow
coaches to follow suit. Our people will
watch with enteres. the experiment Of boring
arte'ian wells on the oppisIte side Of the
line

UNSAFE BRIDGE.-Ws call attention to
the dangerous condition of the bridge at the
head of Main street. In the event of an ac-
ciient to life or limb the city will be called
upon 10 pay damages, and in that way be in
volved iii a serious outlay. 1t is true that
just now the city has no money 20 squander,
but We believe the revenue is sufficient for
all useful purposes, and This Is purpose that
cannot be neglected with safety.
