considerably mentioned. The opinion
has been expressed that it would be well
to have Sherman and Wasco counties
represented in the legislature by law
yer of experience as well as by one con-
versant with the needs of these section
as Mr.. Huntington is. Mr.. John NJ
chell has also been spoken of in conr :
tion with this Office, but of his candi-
dacy we are not certain. As far as ca l
be learned neither gentleman is MAX

aid, has, it is understood, some strong
support for one of these representatives.
Mr.. Shut has edited the Antelope paper
well, and is in touch with the needs of
the stock-growers. 1t is not believ j
Representative T. r. Coon will be a
candidate, and still he may. T. II. Nc
Greer of Antelope, who made credita-
BILE record in the last session, has been
mentioned for denomination.
Mr.. A. S. Blowers of Hood River is in
for the county judgeship and comes
with a delegation from Hood River. In
this connection also the names of Robert
Mays and William Floyd appear. Both
these gentlemen would poll more than
their party vote. 1t is possible also that
Mr.. T. A. Hudson may be candidate
before the convention for this honor.
Mr.. A. M. Kelsay, the present county
Il 4 i
will have a strong support. Mr.. Kel
says record is to his credit. H. G.
Rooper OF Bakeoven is also mentioned
in this connection.
For sheriff, T. J. Driver and Felix
Sexton are named. Mr.. Drivers friends
claim his easy nomination, saying that
he is deserving of second term. Robert
Kelly. "genial Bob" has lot of friends,
but Mr.. Kelly is not candidate and is
doing all he can to further Mr.. Drivers
interests.
No opposition to VIM. Michel for
treasurer has so far been developed, nor
has any to E. F. Sharp for surveyor.
). A. Soesbe of Hood River may con-
test with Mr.. F. Fl. Wakefield the nom
ination of assessor. This is, however,
but rumor and may not be verified.
1t is rumored also that Troy Shelly of
Hood River will not be candidate for
recollection and if such be the case the
nomination of Prof. G. L. Gilbert will
probably be effected without difficulty.
Mr.. Gilbert is a young man with good
record and lots of friends. His only op-
ponent SO farm case the story about
Prof. Shelly is true-is Mr.. Harrington
of Dufur.
THE CHRoNIcLE has absolutely no in
terest. in the proceedings before the con-
vention only to the extent that it wants
to see good men chosen. 1t has faith in
the delegates elect, and it will bring to
the ticket chosen its hearty support.
We are confident the Republicans will
do their duty by the people of the
county and nominate for Office the best
men obtainable. This paper has no
candidate for nomination. After the
convention all the gentlemen named are
our candidates.

THE keLsAY WELL.
Ve Periwinkles Encountered at a
Depth of 100 Feet.

|
| THE Kelsay well has been drilled down
to depth of 120 feet. 1t has been in
teresting to the drillers to note the diff
| ferent formations below the surface of
the earth as they were encountered.
They differ entirely from the hole drilled
by Mr.. Nicholas. After Mr.. Kelsay had
fgot through the soil, which was about
16 feet thick, gravel and bowlder for
nation was struck about 20 feetin thick
ness, then came the water belt in quick
sand, about 6 feet thick the next strata
WAS blue sand rock 10 to 15 feet in
thickness, and then a belt of slate of
about the same depth. Next came blue
clay, and just below this, at depth of
120 feet, was found yesterday deposit
OF sand, sediment and gravel, which
shows it to have been at one time the
bed of a lake or an old river channel. 1t
resembles what is known in placer min
ing lore as gold-hearing sand, and is
p obably just like that found in the
,elilo gold field, if the two were COM
pared.
But most interesting of all was whSk

rdly be prepared for the statement
that at this depth below the earth's sur
face there could be existing animal life,
yet there was brought up with this sand
live periwinkles, snail-like animals in a
spiral shaped shell, capable of locomo-
ton. They were very lively when
brought to the surface and commenced

nation. A piece of rotten wood was
also encountered, from log IA inches III
diameter, which must have been drift.
These finds give rise to much specula-
tion on the part of the amateur geolo-
gists of this section. One believes the
strata is the old Colum bia river channel.
In accordance with this theory, Nj.
Kelsay proposes to save a part of every
bucketfull brought to the surface, and
test it for gold. If bedrock Is struck,
there is no question that plenty of the
metal will be found upon it.
Another theory is that it is the bed of
an old lake, which existed when the
bridge of the Gods at the Cascades was
yet unbroken, and afterwards drained
~ OhO OOA0A1OAn A4NOA ny 1IS
through the mountains at the Locks.
The presence of the periwinkles gives
rise to separate train of thought. Mr..
Kelsay can scarcely believe they came
from the other end of the shaft, and
thinks it possible they may have acci-
dentally dropped in or were in the sand
pump. If they really came up with the
last strata struck, there is no doubt
there is an underground passage at this
depth, for they must have air. There
are well authenticated instances of sub
terranean openings in the earth, as well
as lakes and running streams, and which
contain animal life. Sightless fish have
been found in such waters, showing that
while total darkness reigned there was
no lack of air, water and food for their
sustenance. But in the language Of

People commonly think Of flight In
the air as implying an ascent 10 great
heights, but for that there is no neces-
sity All that Is required for practical
purposes h. that the aerodrome sEall
travel al a level high enough to be clear
OF houses and trees. The start must
be made from a height Not the best
Eyer among the soaring birds can make
a start from the ground without much
difficulty. The eagle takes long run
before II can rise. thus gathering mo-
mcntum. The sky-searching condor OF
the Andes gets a start usually by drop
ping from a lofty crag An important
part OF the problem OF human flight Is
the question OF landing safely People
are not going to travel In a vehicle that
Is apt TO wind up lis journey with a
smaah-up. Professor Langley believes
he sees the way out OF this trouble, but
he guards his ideas On the subject very
carefully.
II may be that the aerodrome OF the
future for passenger traffic will be mod
fled on the plan OF a trolley for the sake
OF safety Suppose a line Of poles carry
ing a trolley wire to be erected from
New York to Chicago. The airship
overhead would be connected with this
/ wire below by two wires. The connect
ing wires would travel along the trolley
wire. By means OF this arrangement
the power for running the propeller
fans could be furnished from dynamo
stations al suitable intervals along the
route. Thus all necessity for carrying
an engine on the aerial vessel would be
obviatod The alrship might fly at a
height OF 100 feet or so above the trolley
II would carry suspended beneath Il q
ear for passengers. Who can say that
ten years hence we may not see such q
line as this running across the contin'
ent. with a continuous flight Of aero
dromes departing and arriving at 30
minute intervals? One important adj
vantage OF the trolley idea Is that the
wire would control the dying machine
and no steering would be necessary.
