ARTESIAN WELLS.
Reeu Made I'm NJ nth nal.ofn

Result of Investigations That Have
Been Made in North Dakota.
For the past two years the United
States Geological survey has been in
vestigating the structural geology and
water resources of the Red River VAL
ley Of the North.
Mr.. Charles M. Hall, director of tho
North Rakota cooperative survey, has
been conducting the work, and as re-
suit of his investigation it is shown that
at least two distinct artesian basins
underlie and yield flowing water over
large portion OF the Upper Red River
valley. These basins are quite distinct,
having different sources Of supply and
yielding different qualities Of water.
The more important of the two basins
is the eastern continuation of the great
Dakota artesian basin, noted for it's
large flows in the James River valley in
both North and South Dakota. The
eastern limit of the basin is marked by
an irregular line running north and
south not far from the middle of the
Red River valley, where the water
bearing horizon rises to within 200 feet
of the surface, While twenty-five miles
to the west it is reached at depths va
rying from 400 to 600 feet. The basin
yields many flows on the Dakota side of
the valley, one recently struck yielding
as high as 1000 barrels per day from a
three-inch we'll.
The water is usually found in clear.
white, unconsolidated sand land is
softer than the surface waters. 1t is
excellent for stock or for domestic pur-
poses and has been used to some ex-
tent for irrigation. The pressure from
these wells varies with location and al
titude, ranging from less than one
pound to as high as 100 pounds per
square inch, the latter being recorded
by a we'll at Enderlin, N. D.
The second basin lies above the first
the water coming in from the sand lay
ers at the base of the glacial drift. The
central part of the Red River valley is
a bread plain, ranging from ten to fifty
miles wide, and which lies from $50 to
| $50 feet abave the region on either side.
| 1t has b cen quite clearly shown that
, the water of this second or upper basin
| undoubtedly comes from the sandy re-
| gions on either side of this area, where
| it is collected from the annual rainfall
| and gradually fed to the thinner beds
of sand which conduct it under the val
ley This basin is reached at depths
| varying from 20 to $50 feet, and rarely
gives more than a few pounds pressure.
The water is harder than that from the
North Dakota basin, but usually good
TO- stock and domestic purposes. Hun
| dreds of flowing wells along both sides
of the valley, on farms and in towns,
| derive their water from thos basin. A
third water horizon, lying still nearer
the surface. gives rise to tubular wells.
in which the water rises to within
| few feet of the surface, but does not
| flow Often all three water horizons
are met with in che same wells at diff
ferent depths.
| The map showing the extent of these
basins and depths to water will soon
be published by the United States Geo
| logical survey, covering portions of
Cass and Riclland counties. North Da-
kota, and Clay and Wilkin counties.

An Interesting Suit.

The case of Smith g. Price VS..
Alex Graham, Of Coal Greek, for
obtaining meats under false pre-
lenses, was an interesting one
The firm was suing Graham for
bill of $3.50, the amount of meat
sold, and it was compromised and
the defendant paid 500 and the
costs of the suit Graham alleges
that one John Miller was a partner
in the business, but Miller denies
this and said that he had no inter-
est in the business whatever
Smith & Price claim that it WAS
on the strength of Miller's good
credit that they furnished the meat
in the first place, but when it came
to settling the bill Miller would
have nothing to do with the settle
ment and it was on this account
that Smith g. Price brought suit
against Graham.

KEEP ON THE SAFE SIDE.

The number of cases of small
pox and varioloid in many parts of
the United States is now 30 large
that no community of considerable
population or resources which has
not provided a building in which
the patients can be properly iso-
lated and quarantined, is not meet
ing the full measure of it's duty,
says the New York Tribune.
Nevertheless it is fact that many
towns containing thousands of in
habitants, and in sound financial
condition, have up to this time
failed to set apart such building.
Shotgun" quarantines are wildly
absurd, but neglect of reasonable
preparations to meet probable, or
even possible, emergencies is even
more to be condemned.
Frenzied alarms over dangers of
infection should be kept in check
or warded off with prudence, but
it is difficult to find apology or
excuse for select men or boards of
health to look ahead and to use
their authority and influence with
citizens and induce them to make
ready, without panic or craze, for
the difficulties which they may be
compelled to encounter. lnfec-
tious diseases are now unusually
prevalent in many countries from
the equator to either pole. There
is no occasion for violent alright.
Grotesque soares should be treated
with contempt by sensible people,
but the disregard of reasonable
safeguards should be condemned
and fought against.-Victor Rec
