ONLY One Sale.

There is a pleasant little story about
a party of drummers sitting in the
smolling-room of a sleeper talking
about trade. One after another had
told about what sort of trade he'd been
having, and they'd all been doing we'll:
but the last man of all, when it came his
turn, said he'd made only one sale in
six weeks. The rest started in to SYM
pathiZe with him Il little on this, but
when they came to ask him what bust
ness he was in and learned that he trav-
cled for a bridge-building establish
ment, and that his last sale was a steel
bridge something less than mile long
for about 100000, they agreed that he
wasn't doing so poorly after all.

Artesian Wells in the American Desert.

N. H. barton, of the United States
geological survey, is quoted as saying
that there is a practically ineXhausti-
bic supply of artesian we'll water under
the plains lying at the foot OF the east s55
ern slope Of the R9c Ky mountains, ana
that the geological! survey in mapping
this region. showing where and at what
depth the water may be found. Ac-
cordinp to the interview quoted, lying
under the foothills on the eastern slope
of the Rocky mountains, there is great
sheet of sand or sandst one placed be
tween two layers Ct clay. The sand
holds the water which gets into it in
the mountains and the natural dip
allows it to run down under the plai"s
between the impermeable clay strata.
The depth of this bed varies from 90 to
200 feet. 1t is not probable that the
water is as plentiful everywhere as in
the we'll known South Dakota artesian
we'll district: but Mr.. barton thinks
that with reservoirs and other provis-
ions for proper economy, there is plenty
of water to develop the rich desert soil
to profitable degree.
