The new depot project is assured.
The enterprise on the part of the
Burlington first mentioned in THE
ARGUS two weeks ago. is now a GER.
tainty.
The first formality essential to the
undertaking was completed last eve
ming. property to the value of $5S, 600
passing into the hands of the c.. b.

action as a whole, as heretofore
stated. involves property extending
from the middle Of the block between
First and Second avenues and from
Twentieth street east half way
through the block facing On First
avenue to the power station on
Twenty-third street.

1t is the purpose of the Burlington
to begin operations in 60 days, by
which time the property acquired
is to be vacated and the
building to be erected will cost
in the neighborhood OF 100000. 1t
will not only be depot and sheds
for the Burlington system, but will
contain all the main division offices
of the Rock Island and St. Louis d.
vision and further than that. too, it
will be in the nature of a union de-
pot. There are other trans portation
companies which will eventually be-
come identified with the enterprise; so
that instead of the Burlington trains
alone running into it, others will also
use it. The project in fact means a
complete removal of our local trans
portation and commercial interests.

Appreolate the Regulator.

Daniel O'Connor, a prominent wool
man of KlIck1tat county, was in the
city yesterday, and states that there is
general movement among the sheep
men of the county to ship by the Regu-
lator from this time henceforth. To do
this the owners of f1ocks will establish
corrals somewhere between the block
house and Goldendale, drive their sheep
to them, where the heeces will be
sheared land haul the wool from there to
the steamboat landing, distance of
twenty miles, more or less. The sheep
will then be driven for the summer to
the range surrounding Mt. Adams.
There are in round numbers 81, 600
head of sheep in Klickitat county, and
the most of this immense amount of
wool has heretofore gone to Arlington
and been shipped aboard the cars.
The sheep men, however, appreciatiug
the services of the boat line, have
decided upon the foregoing plan
to favor them. They will haul the wool
to the landing and return laden with
supplies, purchased in The Dalles.
O'Connor is one of the largest sheep
owners in Klickitat county, having four
bands. Others in the movement are
Cunningham, two bands, Col. Thomp-
son two, Fred Dee TIVE and William
Cahill one.

The Fruit Not Badly Injured.

The thermometer registered degrees
above zero in Walla Walla Sunday night,
SAYS the Statesman. This is 9 degrees
colder than it was in The Dalles on the
same night.
Fruit men generally think the peaches
and apricots are not seriously injured,
and if the cold grows no more severe
that we will yet have good crop. An
old resident of the Northwest says that
many old settlers have erroneous inn
pressions of March weather in former
years. Many of them stoutly insist that
they have seen the mercury below zero
in this month several times within the
last twenty years, while the government
reports show that only once in twenty
years has the temperature in March
been lower. In March, 1891, the mercury
fell to degrees above zero. He thinks
there is little danger of fruit trees being
killed even if it should become much
colder. There is now little sap in the
trees and when this is the case there is
killed about fourteen years ago the trees
were full of sap, and when in February
the mercury fell so low the trees were
generally killed. Moreover. the ground
at that time was covered with deep snow
upon which a thick crust had formed,
kand the reflection of the sun from this
crust caused the trees to split open on
the south side, thus completing the
deadly work of the extreme cold. A
fruit man of wide experience says that
the fruit buds can stand very severe cold
SO long as no water gets in them. The
water freezing in the buds is sure death
to them. Hence heavy sleet falling
upon the trees, followed by intense colo
is most to be feared by fruit men.

STRUCK FLOWING WATER.
But Not Enough and MIR. Kelsay wm
| Go Deeper.

Flowing water has been struck, by Mr4r
Kelsay at depth of thirty feet.
This is as far as the drilling apparatus
got yesterday when the tube filed up,
and water commenced pouring out at
the top, which is seven feet from the
ground. The force, though insufficient,
IS thus demonstrated to be artesian in
nature. The actual number of gallons
per hour could not be estimated because
of seams in the tube through which the
water found its way. Mr.. Kretzer, who is
an experienced well driller, believes that
with greater depth, sufficient force of
water will be found to satisfy Mr.. Kelsay
and the others who are conducting the,
experiment.
1t has long been believed by many
that artesian water exists in limitless
quantity above the fair grounds. Above
this two mountains spread apart at their
base and within this space, forming
triangle, there appears to be water
everywhere Just beneath the surface of
the ground. Where earth has been dis
placed have arisen flowing springs, and
it is thought that a great supply could
be found for the seeking. more than
enough to supply the needs of The
Dalles. At one time the citizens of The
Dalles subscribed 81 900 for the purpose
of an investigation, but the city council,
who was requested to furnish another
81 600 for operating expenses, did not
think it wise to make the appropriation.
If the experiment made by Mr.. Kelsay
proves successful there is scarcely a
doubt that some one Will try this prom
ising field, and clear up the speculation
that exists in the minds of many citi-
zens who were interested at one time in
this experiment.

COLD STORAGE WAREHOUSE.
Mr.. f. A. seufert win Establish One
on Smile.

We are reliably informed that cold
storage and pork packing house on
large scale is shortly to be established in
The Dalles by Mr.. F. A sfufert. The
warehouses are to be established on
Smile and the plant aFd machinery,
costing $4,000, has already been or
dered. The company offices will be at
The Dalles. Work is expected to conn
mence within ten daYs-----
From business point of view this is
one of the most important enterprises
ever established in The Dalles and will
more than all benefit the farming COM
punity. Take the item of eggs for ex-
ample. Ten years ago Mr.. Seufert went
over into the Goldendale country and
procured 3 200 dozen of eggs for outside
markets. Since then eggs have become
so deprecated in value in the summer
season that the poultry business no
longer pays and today it is probable that
if Klickitat county were secured, it
not produce 300 dozen. Now comes the
benefit of the cold storage. The farmer
takes his eggs to the cold storage ware
house where they are put in an air
tight compartment at given tempera-
ture. At the end of six months they are
just as sound as the day they were laid,
and may be sold in the fall and winter
months at a very low figure. AS with
eggs SO with other products. Butter,
cheese, sweet potatoes, cabbage, apples
and fruits of all kinds win keep sweet
and good for months after their natural
decay in changeable atmosphere.
THE CHRONICLE is pleased to hear that
the business is to be worked up by go
thoroughgoing a man as Mr.. Seufert.
In residence of several years here he
has proven that whatever he engages in
is done with a vim and wholehearted-
ness that is pleasure to observe. So
when we are informed that the xpensive
machinery required will be complete and
up-to-date and the buildings substantial
and roomy we feel the assurance that
the business will equal if not exceed any
other of like nature in the entire North
west.
