WATER WANTED.
Oan An Artesian Flow be Obtained in
this Section? Why not Try
Needed for Stock and Lakes.

Last week was unusually delightful AZ
weather when compared to the week
previous or the way that this M is
opening up, and the drouth occasioned
by these high winds is causing some
speculation as to an antidote. OF course
water is the alternative desired but how
to get it is the query. Out OF the eight
lake beds in Lake county, comprising
from ten to fifteen sections in area of
water ten years ago, all are dry but three
and these are greatly dimished in vol
ume of water. The immense evspora-
ton caused by the late dry seasons is
not replaced by snows d rainfall and alb
sorption will continue until the lakes
are dried up If q remedy is not found.
While this county has had abundance Of
rain to mature GRIPS, it has not had
sufficient to fill wells or lake beds for
the later season and the dearth of water
for man and beast throughout the coun-
ty has often been q serious and trouble
some question. Ordinary deep and re
liable wells cannot be obtained short OF
one to two hundred feet in depth, and
the lifting power required is great. 1t is
quite natural that in this dilemma spec
ulation in regard to procuring artesian
supply should become rife and the mat
ter is quite frequently discussed. The
first question is, "Can an artesian flow
be secured in this county," And right
here is where some good public enter
prise could be shown in devising means
to put down an srtesian we'll somewhere
or anywhere in this county that will
demonstrate whether or not artesiau
wells could be obtained here. II they
could it would solve the difficulty oi
water supply for q stock country and re-
plenish our lakes. Wells are now being
put down for 81 1000 in SPHINX county anc
1t ought not to cost much more in Lake
county il they can be got at all. II il
could be demonstrated that an artesiar
flow can be secured in this section il
would add five dollars to the value O
every acre OF land in iLake county a
once. Some plan, either under the term'
Of the new artesion we'll law or In SOM
