DR.. Webb Talks about His Candidacy
burlington News of SATURDAY.


Dr. w Seward Webb passed through
the city to-day. On his way he was in
terviewed by a News reporter regarding
his candidacy for the governorship and al
so concerning some rumors that have
been circulated to the effect that a poll
teal bargain was attached to his candi-
dacy. DR.. Webb answered the questions
frankly, and quickly disposed of these
political canards which never had the
slightest foundation to stand on He
said:
Il am in the hands of my friends, and
shall greatly appreciate the high honor
conferred upon me if the people of nv
adopted state elect me to the office of
governor.
1T was with considerable reluctance
that | finally consented to allow nv name
TO be used in this connection. as am not
unmindful of the many unpleasant feat
ures OF such a contest But having once
determined upon my candidacy my friends
need have no fears that my name will be
withdrawn.
There is absolutely no foundation for
the report that you say is in circulation.
| am not a party to any such political
combine with any man or men whomso-
YER either tacitly implied or otherwise.
nor have | been approached with any sug-
gestion or intimation of any candidacy.
bargain or obligation. In fact, if / am
nominated and elected governor of Yer
mont II will be as a free and independent
agent, with no tails to the office for in
my judgment that is the only way in
which the public good can best be sub
served"

A Remarkable Stream.

One of the most remarkable streams
in the United States is Deschutes river
of central Oregon. Almost all rivers
have wide extremes in the volume of
their flow, running at flood in the
spring and low or even dry in the sum-
-mer months. But Deschutes river
widely differs from this rule. and is
notable for its remarkably steady flow
throughout the entire year. Measure
ments taken over series of years by
the United States Geological Survey
to ascertain the amount of it's flow
have shown that the river discharges
an almost uniform volume of about
5000 cubic feet per second, and that
the spring and winter flow is very
little more than this, and the summer
very little less. An explanation of
the strange behavior of this river is
sought in the character of the country
through which 1t and it's tributaries
flow. The whole region in former
ages was widely overrun by a success
sion of great lava flows which are
found to be separated by other layers
of sand and gravel. 1t is thought
that the rain, instead of rushing at
once to the streams, sinks into the rich
and porous soil into which the surface
of the lava has disintergrated, and
gradually percolating down to and in
to the rock layers, slowly flows along
them to the deep canyons which the
streams have cut in the lavas. Thus
the horizontal rock layers act as great
storage reservoirs, and keep feeding
constant and steady supply of water
to the streams.
This quality of steadiness of flow is
OF the greatest value to Dechutes riv-
er, and will make its water powers,
and its water supply much sought af-
ter when enterprise and population
are ready to use them.
