A POWERFUL WELL.
Something for Weisers Arteaian Company
to Read and be Impressed With.

Since Noah's deluge there has not
been known such an outpouring of
water as that which came upon the
earth from the subterranean caves
northeast of this city day before
yesterday.
The Salt Lake Natural Gas company
at 900 feet from the surface struck
the fountain of the Great Deep, and a
torrent of water ushered forth with
terrific force, and 80 mighty was the
stream that the workmen at the drill
had to flee for their lives to avoid
being swept away before the
cataclysm.
This unusual demonstration oi
aquatic nature is deluging the country
northeast of the city for miles about
and there seems no way to repress
this artificial outlet TO the
subterranean flow.
The company was sinking q wei
with view to striking reservoir o.
natural gas, but instead they met the
bursting stream Of an earth-bount
ocean that shot high into the air |
volume of water, the capacity o
which is beyond calculation; no sucl
stream of water has ever before beel
discovered in this part Of the country
The discovery settles the fact tina
there Is an abundance of water under
lying the entire valley for irrigatin
purposes. Salt Lake Herald.
The depth mentioned in the abov
should be borne in mind by the artt
sian water company. 1t may be pos
sible that our well will be driven
, considerable depth, and be given u
when within a few feet Of an undel
| ground stream of powerful force.

wisdom: and foresight of the ancients
Yet. we must say, that in our little
county no tax meets with greater
opposition than the road tax; no
outlay of public money Is regarded
with more aversion. This Is all wrong,
shortsighted and self,destructive. 1t
costs thousands and thousands of
dollars more TO maintain bad roads
than build good ones. The wear and
tear incident to travelling bad roads is
a continual and grinding tax. 1t
shortens the lives and decreases the
capacity of vehicles and animals at
least one-half and it multiplies the
sum Of human sins by fifty per eentum.
Bad roads are iuxuffes poor people
can not afford to indulge and rich
people seldom enjoy; they are pest
and nuisance, and the most ex-
pensive investment imaginable.
Few men would deliberately buy the
right of way over a bad road; yet,
thatis about what the people Of this
county are doing. In other words,
in order to enjoy the most deplorable
highways, they wear out thousands
in wagons and horses in order to save
hundreds in direct taxes. A recent
government report figures up that il
costs the people of the United States
over billion dollars yearly to main.
tain the bad roads of the country.
By that is meant that the people
could expend a billion dollars on
roads more than they now do and still
come out ahead. When we consider
what a large per cent. of that loss is
confined to Oneida county, it would
seem that people would be anxious
to save some Of the money they arr
throwing away every year. Figure !
any way, bad roads are bad in
vestments and there is no more pro
ftable tax possible than that leviet
for roads. It's said, a people can b.
judged by their roads. For the SAX
of Oneida county, we hope that say
ing is false.
Thus the good work is going on ant
if the press will remain persistent il
undermining public languor an
indifference, the next legislativ
assembly will certainly see some ney
road laws passed.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
The County Commissioners Oensurad ant
Some Suggestions offered.


To the Honorable District Court of
the Third Judicial District, in and
for Washington County, State of
Idaho:
We, the members of the grand
jury, serving at the June term of said
court, ask leave to make the follow
ing report:
That we have examined the county
Jail and find it safe for the confne-
ment of prisoners, but not as neat as
might be.
That we have examined the books
of the county treasurer, probate
court and auditor and recorder, and
find them neat and well kept, and, so
far as we have been able to deter
mine in the limited time we have had
for this examination, we believe them
to be correct.
That we disapprove of the custom
Of the different boards of commits
sioners of this county in extending
upon the assessment roll list of de-
linquent taxes on personal property,
which now amounts to $3041. IA, be-
sides nearly s1100 stricken from the
list by order of said boards, and we
suggest that no more taxes on per-
sonal property be allowed returned
delinquent or stricken from the roll
that can be collected by seizure OF
civil action; and that we believe it to
be the duty of said board to enforce
the collection of said taxes according
to law.
That we disapprove of the discrim-
ination now being made in paying
salaried county officials in cash ano
jurymen, witnesses, ETC., in county
warrants worth less than par.
That we suggest that all the roat
tax in the county be expended on thu
roads to the best advantage and tina
, the county commissioners appropriate
the amounts necessary for the repair
ing of bridges where the actual cos
exceeds the expenditures allowed b.
i law to road supervisors, and that sucl
repairs be of good material and con
structed in workman like manner
and we suggest their immediate atten
I ton to the bridge at the crossing O
d the Little Weiser, near Salubria, whic
u is now unsafe for public travel.
C That we suggest that road supervi
IL sors notify owners of bitches to bridg
o the same where county roads hav
priority of right, and in case owner
D of bitches refuse, that he bridge ther
y at their expense; and that they do nc
o allow water to stand in pools alon
l. the public roads to stagnate an
breed disease.
Is That we have examined into foul

The Statesman readers are familiar
with the case wherein the owners of a
small steamboat above the Union Pa
cific bridge across Snake river above
Ontario commenced action against the
railroad company for obstructing
navigation. Every day for a long
period of time the boat would be
steamed down the river and on coming
to the bridge the whistle would be
blown. The case went into the courts,
ex- Attorney General Geo. IL.
Williams being employed as counsel
for the owners of the boat, and q
verdict for something like 800, 600
was rendered in their favor. The
visit of Jacob Kamm, owner of the
steamboat ''Norma. lying below the
Union Pacific bridge, and Attorney
Williams 10 Huntington at this time
is significant and is giving room fol
the belief that Mr.. Kamm's inten-
ons are not the most kindly toward
the railroad company and the
"Norma" may be brought into requis
ition Tor aucther damage suit agasns
the company. 1t is not unlikely tina
the NNormas" whistle will be heard
at the bridge in the near future. =
Walla Walla Statesman.
The Normas whistle has alread,
been heard at the bridge and it i
more than likely that the railroad
people will be notified to put in
draw and suit commeced agains
them. In which case to buy the boa
would undoubtedly be the cheapes
''';ro for the company to do.

SUPPORT YOUR own TOWN.
It will Pay You to Buy at
Home Every Time.
A Comparison of Two
Policies.

In every town, whether large or
small, the various industries, pro-
fessions and branches of business
there represented are dependent.
That is, they must rely upon each
other for mutual support and pat
ronage, says Will Walker, of the
Percell Register. The most pros
porous towns are those that recognize
the truth above stated and whose
inhabitants carry out in their business
dealings this principle of mutual
dependence. If the local blacksmith
has ten dollars to spend for dly goods
and spends it with the local
merchant, that ten dollars is not with
drawn from local circulation; the
merchant may pay it to the lawyer fol
legal advice, the lawyer to the
butcher for meat, the butcher to the
druggist for medicine, the druggist
to the printers for stationery, thu
printer to the jeweler for diamonds
the jeweler to the grocer TO
provisions, the grocer to the mile
for -four, the miller to the farmer TO
grain, and the farmer may bring
back to the blacksmith in paymen
for work, the money spent at hom
travelling continuously in some sucl
circulation as this. If you hat
followed the ten dollars 10 their course
YOU note that the sum has passed
through the hands of ten parties an'
when it reaches the original owner
represents total of 500. This i
what ten dollars kept at home ha
done.
If each one of these ten parties ha
sent to some other town for til
articles desired 500 would have bee
taken away from the town, which
circulated as in the above illustration
would have been equal to $1,000.
Did you ever think Of this, yo
gh-toned gentlemen who make it
point to purchase all your clothing
hats, shoes, shirts and many othe
articles from eastern houses? Thin
of it now, and as you cogitate, Sc
if you deduce from these facts an
other logical conclusions than thu
you cannot expect people to patronis
: you when you show no spirit
: reciprocity.
, No matter what may be your liz
of business you are offering some SO
of wares to the public and your livl
hood depends upon the approval an
| purchase thereof Whether you Sc
r calico, Goldfish brains or biscuits, yc
, are asking other people to buy Of yo
and you are almost certain to ro
when you hear of some one havir
) sent away from home for the san
goods you are offering. Yet if yo
do not buy their goods are they und
2 obligations to buy yours?
i Buy your goods in all lines of Il
people you are asking to patroni
you and keep your money
circulation at home. That's the vi
d to make good and prosperous tow
