THE ARTESIAN WELL.
4 Depth Of One Hundred Feet Was
Reached Yesterday Evening.

The work of digging the artesian we'll was
resumed few days ago, and since then the
work has progressed nicely. AT the depth OF
II feet rock was found, and the drills have
penetrated that rock for 4 distance OF so feet.
The gentlemen In charge expect ID make %
feet day through the rock. They do not
expect water in less than 200 or 300 feet, but OF
course they can see very little further into
milestone than the rest OF us. At best IL Is
all guess work. But deep or shallow, water
may be expected when a flSsure In the rock Is
found.

good suggestions were made too late about
the cotton mill, and now 1t seems that belated
friends are bringing In their good suggestions
about the we'll. Quite number would have
preferred to have II located on hill, rather
than on the bank OF the creek. Others think
IL ought to have been put near the stand
pipe. Objection has also been made that the
well is too near to the grave-yards
The town council should pass an ordinance
preventing the digging of sinks VIII ich would
pollute the whole earth beneath the surface
so that our wells may not become veritable

The Huntington Herald, published
by John G. Foster, who has for some
time been one of the prominent pop.
ulist leaders of Baker county, Ore.
gon, has this to say of the Idaho
Senatorial contest:
The Idaho legislature will elect n Uni
ted States senator to succeed Senator Du-
bois next week. Viewing The situation
from this distance we can see no reason
why Fred T. Dubois should not succeed
himself. The legislature is supposed to
represent Idaho. No representative ever
accomplished rs much for Idnho as Sena-
tor Dubois. That body is supposed To be

has fought harder for free silver" than
Fred L. Dubois. To turn him down af-
ter the gallant fight he has made for the
white metal would brand the Popnisls
OF Idaho as u purity of 'pie-hunlers and
the Democrats as ungrateful partisans
Men who are for free coinage of silver
from principle should stand by those
who stand for that principle regardless
of party.
The Rocky Mountain News, the
greatest popullst journal in the Uni
ted States, advocates the return Of

pnrt Of the state They will adopt a
liberal freight rate policy and seek to
build up local traffic. One of the
drawbacks to our advancement has
been the transportation barrier which
has been placed between us and
other competitors in the markets.
People of means have held back from
investments in commercial orchards,
agricultural lands and various enter
prises, through fear, in fact the
knowledge, OF high transportation
rates which would place them at dis
advantage with California and other
points in competing for fruit and
other markets. Ii the new manage

OF the new body OF voters, and will

may not have been in harmony with

suit OF the election and are also clad
to see this recognition extended
Since women have been emancit,ated
IN Idaho and lifted from their former
degradation and have been given an
equal voice at the ballot box. it is
proper to give them hand in the
conduct and operation Of govern
ment Particularly those who have
advocated this advancement should
step out to make room for n fair
share of offices for the ladies'. The
appointment will give general salts

probably the first lady otIi - holder

sign her position in the Boise schools
IN order to assume her new dulles.
