The ArtesIan Wells.

The progress made in the artesian we'll
neighborhood of the Mckee valley is
known to comparatively few people, even
in this city. The wells are off all travelled
roads save that to the Columbia river
an d the trees and cultivated fields are
hidden by spur Of the rolling bills
which lie out in that region. There are
many acres of hay, grain and vegetables
growing out there, all the same, as well
as orchards and gardens. The view that
opens up to one driving from town as he
reaches the summit of the hill by W. T.
Clark's house is both surprising and
pleasing, and recalls the great expecta
tons we all INDUCED in when the boring
began, several years ago. What failed
in realization then, with the failure to
continue work under the original COM
pany, is coming on very satisfactorily
now There are no less than a dozen
wells, most of them completed and flow
ing, and three times that number of
farms, some of them in a high state OF
cultivation, while water is running to
waste for miles down the valley. The
great Clark well, near Mr.. Peck's house,
is the best of all, and, in fact, one of the
notable artesian wells of the world. 1t
rises to about fifteen feet from the sur
face and falls from the top of six.nch
pipe after spreading out like great crys-
tai umbrella. 1t would supply water for
an entire section il used as sparingly as
irrigators are compelled to use their sup
plies.
Mr., C. C. Babb of the U. S. geological
survey visited the wells few days ago
in company with A. B. Wyckof, Mr.
Geo. S. Hough and the arid land COM
missioner, and measurements and other
data were obtained which will appear in
the official bulletins as soon as they are
reported to headquarters.
Mr.. Haines is putting down an S-inch
we'll on the section recently purchased by
Mr.. Ellens and Spratt and Conrad are
boring one in a section farther east.
The development has been made by
men who have been cramped for money
and in many respects labored under dis.
couraging conditions, yet the results prove
that there is an underfow OF water there
which, when brought to the surface, will
add much to the wealth of the county
The same thing can be done in a dozen
places in the county, most likely.

A Leading Fruit Shipper Visits the Big
Orchards Of Parker Bottom.
WILL Be NO STATE FAIR THIS YEAR
The sand GETS Into the Craw OF
Governor Rogers Com missioners.
ID overnment Measurement OF
the water of the Artestan wells.

f.. W. johnson, the repres entative Of
Porter Bros, the big fruit commission
firm OF Chicago, took a trip through the
Parker Bottom country on Monday, in
company with w. E Dickinson, to post
himself regarding the coming crop. Last
year this firm shipped q carloads OF
fruit from Yakima county and as a rule
the returns were quite satisfactory to the
growers. Mr.. Johnson expects to again
be in Yakima about picking time and
will then furnish growers with instruc.
tons regarding packing. He says in the
past prunes have been packed when too
nearly ripe for long shipments, and the
proper time is just as they are turning
red. He thinks there will be a better
market hereafter for dried prunes as the
tariff Of three cents per pound will shut
out the cheap Turkish prunes. Mr..
Johnson also believes Yakima would do
we'll to 20 more extensively into the
growing and drying of cherries which he
says should net the grower 10 cents per
pound.
This season the apple crop in the east
is doubtful one. The orchards OF the
middle and eastern states suffered from
long continued rains, while the trees were
in bloom, and as a result the prospec ts
are that the crop will be short. This Mr..
Johnson believes, will make an opening
for the Yakima apple at remunerative
prices.
The orchards visited by Mr.. Johnson
give indication of full crop of all fruits
excepting peaches. OF these Fred
Thompson will have from $50 to 1000
boxes-about one-tenth of a crop; Purdy
Flint figures on not more than 500 boxes
from 80 acres, and Bicknel 4 Baker have
cut down their peach trees, which were
II years old and heavy sufferers from the
the November freeze. They were cut off
close to the ground and stump puller
will be utilized this fall in removing the
roots. The ground will probably be
planted to Italian primes. Mr..
Bicknell thinks he will have third
more prunes this year than last when he
sh ipped two carloads.

Proofs AGAINST PoIsoNs.-Miss
Evatima Tardo. aged &c years, of st.
Paul, Mimi, has ell her life been abso-
Iutely free from pain and has no idea
what it is except by word of mouth from
others. She is also free from the pois-
onous effects that follow the bite of GER
tain reptiles and insects. Not only that,
but she can swallow the deadliest poison
known to science, while all stimulants.
narcotics, anatshetics and sedatives
have no effect upon her. When she was
5years old, while living with her parents
on the island of Trinidad in the West
Indies, coora threw itself upon her and
bit her terribly. Her parents laid her
out to die, but she went to sleep for
thirty hours and awoke as fresh as
rose. Now cobra can bite her a
dozen times day and the best he can
do will be to make her little sleepy
and kill himself. She stood up in
doctors Office in st. Paul recently and made
punctures in herself as though she were play
ing with paper bag. While explaining to
the little audience that her case had been the
wonder OF the surgical and medical men Of
all parts of the world, and that the only ex-
PLANTATION was that she had been born with q
defective nervous system in so far as the sem
sorry nerves are concerned. she was jsbbing
pins into her face. The doctor ran long
needle into her repeatedly and a rattlesnake
was allowed to bite her in the presence Of the
witnesses, and no effects were observable.
