| I/Water was struck at the Diamond
flour mills yesterday at depth of III
feet, which Immediately arose to within
eighteen feet of the surface. A power
full pump was set to work, but an hours
vigorous work failed to lower the supply
in the pipe particle. 1t is fed from an
inexhaustible supply. The water is the
same as that struck at the electric light
company's power house; and is cold, soft
and very pure. The water has every
evidence of being artesian in its quality,
but the suggestion has been made that
an underground passage has been struck
with the river, and the reasons stated
would appear to bear ont such a view.
The present depth of the well to the sur
face of the water would correspond to
the present level of the Columbia, and
the water being SO much purer might be
accounted for by its filtering through
sand. If the water is fed by the river,
while the supply will always be mex
haust:ble, the well will rise and fall with
it. However, an inexhaustibIe supply
of pure cold water is of great value, even
if it must be pumped out, and however
one may theorize, the milling company
has exactly what they sought.

cable in The Dalles as anywhere else,
and has in times past been enforced in
our city. A delivery horse was noticed
this morning with lame foot, travelling
along very painfully, and requiring to
be urged with the lash because of its
lameness. a nail was perhaps piercing
the quick and each step cost the poor
brute excruclating pain. Whenever.one
notices lame horse being driven be
may know that the driver is either ig-
norant regarding what is due to the
rights of life. or that, having knowl-
edge of the pain endured by the animal,
he is too hardened to care for its
suffering. A selfish reason. if no other,
should inspire driver to stable horse
with lame foot until it is well, for a
horse may be ruined forever by nail or
wound unattended to.

A. o. U. W. GRAND LODGE.
ID. c. BeFrIn Captures a Plum and Is
Nicely Recognized Besides.

The most important business of the
A. o: U. w. grand lodge session at
Portland yesterday was the election
of grand lodge officers for the en-
suing year. Mr.. D. G. Herrin, who is
the most active and enthusiastic worker
of this order in The Dalles, is twice hon.
ored The election was as follows.
E. Werlein, of Industry lodge, No. s,
Portland, grand master; s. A. McFad-
foreman; D. G. Herrin, of Temple, No.
8, The Dalles, grand overseer; Newton
Clark. of Riverside, No. s, Hood River,
reelected grand recorder; R. L. Dur
ham, of Hope, No. 1, Portland, reelected
grand receiver; William Armstrong, of
Valley, No. Is, Salem, grand trustee /;
D. G. Herrin, grand Instructor.
This last Office is new one in this
jurisdiction. It was created yesterday
by vote of the grand lodge, and is SINH
lar to that called grand organizer in
some other jurisdictions. 1t is really
the plum of the whole list and carries
with it a 81 800 emolument per year.
Mr.. Herrin deserves this recognition.
He is a hustler for the order, and has
made Its business careful study. For
some time it has been disastrous to
many of the old line insurance men to
intercept his trail.
The grand lodge Degree of Honor also
had its busy day yesterday, and The
Dalles was again honored by the selec-
tion of Mrs. III. E. Briggs for grand lady
of honor. The selection was fitting in
spirit and in truth. Mrs. Briggs is an
Aenthusiast in the work and will grace
the position as few others could.

is claimed, il to capture the dclegs-
ton from Massachusetts and from a

cago for Russell and then use this
force in favor of of nomination of
President on condition that Russell
is given the second place IN the
ticket. Emissaries from Washing
tou are now in Boston 50 nding
public opinion in frvor of such d
combination, and the Cleveland
administration is probably back of
it. It would make a respectable
ticket, but the difficulty would be
in getting the Chicago Convention
to adopt 1t. With a Tree silver
majority in that convention almost
certain the nomination Of gold
bugs looks pretty doubtful. 1t is
impossible to predict, however,
what the outcome will be, and
meanwhile a prospective Vice
Presidential nomination is a good
toy with which to amuse tx Gov
ernOr Russell.

Governor O'Ferrall's Views on

Richmond, Va, April 1.-THE
democrats of the country, Governor
O'Ferral believes, have the op
portunity OF their existence in this
presidential campaign II they will
come out in clear cut platform for
sound meney. They have little to
lssa Oy such a course and every
thing 10 gain, the Executive thinks.
Tue Governors view is that Nc
Kiuley Is almost certain TO be
nominate by the republicans on a
platform which will stradjle the
money issue and make the tariff
their main issue. Mckinley is the
representative of the high taTltt
idea, which those prominent 10 his
support advocate. In the event
that the ex Governor Of Ohio is
the republican nominee upon the
character of platform indicated,
the Governor thinks tie democrats
would he assured of success If they
came out with the proper candi
date for sound money and the Will
son tariff bill, with such mod flea
tons as will insure revenues sur
6cient only for maintenance OF
government expenses.
Tue South Is almost eel tain to
he solid for the democratic nOml'
nees anyhow, so that would practl'
caliy leave the contest with the
North and West. With the patty
commitle ed to a thoroughly sound
financial basis. Gov. OFerrall feels
confident that they would win in
this contest. Massachusetts,, he
believes, could he made to swing
Into line this year under such a
platform.
Governor O'Ferrsli IS satisfied
that the people of the South,
where there is supposedly a
strong free-sIIver senti nent, only
need to have the financial question
