WEST TEXAS WATER SUPPLY.

Mr.H. C. Holloway, of Fort Worth, re-
Gently making trip into Dawson county
to investigate some land matters, OBJ
tanned considerable definite information
concerning the plains water supply, ana
permits the journal to make use OF his
memoranda. On the range of Col. Z. q.
Slaughter, in Dawson County, he found
wells as follows
One we'll 65 feet deep, supply OF water
inexhaustible; water raised by pumps ane.

One we'll 60 feet deep; water rises Is
feet, with good supply.
One well "a feet deep; supply of water

Mr.. Holloway says in his report: Il
went out on the Texas q Pacific railroad
as far as Midland saw a great many

single failure to get water at depth OF
of less than one hundred feet. and maj y
of them at the trihing depths from foul

obtaining plenty of water anywhere or

The continued persistent well digging
on the plains develops the fact ina
there is supply of water at reasonable

On Thursday night of last week some
miserable wretch entered the barn Of ]. II.
Foster, in the First Ward, cut the straps
that held couple of cows and horses, let
them loose, and then set fire to the barn
at least these are our conclusions. Wehave
been in the habit of laying 1t to careless
tramps, but careless is no longer proper
word. Something more active and mali
cious needs to be used. The fire companies
were called out, promptly responded, and
saved the charred remains from falling
down. No insurance, and only small
amount of hay, etc, lost. The horse lei
loose, took spin in the country, not being
found until noon the next day.

what II Cost.

1t is just naturally curious the way some
will get excited, and lose their head. Our
neighbor Of the State Journal, Of Eugene,
says the Registry Law when declared un-
constitutional, had cost that county $Isoc
and Linn county $1,000. You are complete.
ly wrong Mr.. JonyHm The law had cost
this county only about $500. Had the reg
istration gone into effect the cost would
have been about $I2oo in this county anc
not over $1,000 in Lane. Figure it out anc
see. Anything can be made by guessing
but figures do not lie. We rejoice because
the law is useless but do not believe any
thing will be gained by exaggeration.
