nett has for several weeks bee IN.
dustriously engaged at horin an
artesian well, and all things con.
sidered, has met with great en- our-
agement for ultimate success. with
crude apparatus for boring he has
succeeded in sinking n 3-inch hole
to the depth of about 30 feet and
has secured steady flow of v ater

gate 90 acres of land. OF &C urse

this one could be put down in that
vicinity in short space Of time

benefit to his surrounding land.
This one act Of Dick Bennett will.

ut to Mountain Home and vicinity

Charlie Oliver, few days ago Wis
tied the Bennett we'll and he id so
elated over what he saw that he has
fully determined to try the exp peri
ment of boring for water on his
ranch about eight miles north east
of this place, but at greater eleva-
ton, and doubtless many other and
owners in this section will follow.
and the result will be that man of
our farmers will in a short space of
time be independent Of storage res
ervoirs, the elements or anything
else so far as sufiiciency of water
is concerned.
Mountain Home is situated in a
natural basin, only few miles from
the mountains. BY the digging of
wells water has always been OBJ
tanned at depth of from 10 to 20 |
feet, and yet, strange TO say, the ex-
pertinent of boring an artesian we'll
has never before been tried. The
success of Mr.. Bennett should slim
ulate our town people to the point
