Times describes the event thus:

greatest run that was ever pulled off in
Seattle. 1t was long haired youth

chase and gained on Shaw so fast that

mencing Nov. odd Those wishing to
consult the Doctor will find it to their
advantage to call on him.
He comes to us laden with testimon-
ialS from throughout the whole north
west. and the authenticated reports of
some of his cures seem nothing short of
miraculous. There are few ills to which
human flesh is heir which cannot be re-
lieved. and generally permanently cured
by DR.. Darrin's electro therapeutic
treatment; and eases tnat have resisted
the efforts of ordinary physicians have
yielded to his power.
These eases embrace every Kind OF dis
ease. and as said before, no man. wo-
man or child need despair of relief and
cure while Dr. Darrin offers his invalu-
able services. Unlike other physicians
who have become eminent in their pro
fession, the Doctors charges are ex-
tremely moderate and reasonable. ac-
cording to circumstances and ability to
pay And he will not undertake. any
ease he can not benefit or cure Should
there b any cases that are incurable
he will Immediately discover them ON
consultation, thus saving his patients
any further expenditure of money or
time. which they might otherwise have
squandered
Dr. Darrin makes a speciality of all
diseases of the eye. ear. nose. throat.
catarrh deafness. bronchitis. Ii grippe.
consumption, dyspepsia. constipation,
heart, liver and kidney diseases
He permanently cures all disease, of

tised for and plans and specifications
prepared. There is little doubt that
the enterprise will be carried out. The
only objection to the county digging the
well came from the Washington Irriga-
ton company, the owners of the Sun
nyside ditch. an extension of which
could be made to carry water for irri-
CATION into the White Bluffs country.
SO it would seem that the hopes of the
White Bluffs people are to be realized.
and it is probable that rich body of
land will be opened up there within a
few years. Many of the business men
of this city have been heard to express
themselves as confident that the county
was doing wise thing in sinking the
well. G. W. Cary stated that ne was in
a way familiar with the White Bluffs
region. and believed that its develop
ment meant an inestimable benefit to
this city indirectly. and directly TO cv-
cry taxpayer in the county. The three
quarters of Il million acres of land that
is included in the tract is unexcelled
and if watered and developed will pro-
vide homes for thousands of families.
increase the amount of taxable proper
ty in the county and reduce taxes ac-
cordingly. The comparatively few peo-
pie now living at White Bluffs are de-
serving of some recognition from the
county; they have paid their share of
the taxes regularly and without pro-
test for many years. and have never re-
ceived the benefit of dollar from the
county treasury. And if the artesian
well which the county sinks is a sue
cess. the county will own the we'll and
in addition eighty acres of valuable
land given as an inducement to sink the
well.

WHITE BLUFFS ARTESIAN WELL
MEETS WITH LITTLE OPPOSITION
Petition for Drilling of the Same Sup
ported by a Petition from Bust
ness Men of North Yakima.

The county is now advertising for
bids for the sinking of an artesian well
on the northeast quarter of the south
west quarter of section 81, township
IA, range I, and will open these bids
and in all probability award the con-
tract for sinking the we'll on the morn
ing of December 9TH. The location Civ
en- is near the town of White Bluffs.
and is in the bend of the Columbia riv-
cr, in the heart of a tract of 100000
acres of as fine land as there is in the
state of Washington. whose only or
greatest drawback is the difficulty that
confronts all the land in the great
northwest when first taken up. the lack
of water The inhabitants of this sec
ton believe that it can be irrigated sue
cessfully by artesian wells, and their
faith in this led them to ask the coun-
~ to sink a well thousand feet deep
as an experiment, to proove whether or
not the plan was practical. and at the
same time to demonstrate the rich
ness and productiveness of the soil in
that locality
The petition was filed with the board
att he October meeting by J. r. Me
Keand of this city in the interests of
the people of White Bluffs, and stated
that if the county would expend the
sum of $1,000. which would be sufficient
to sink n well thousand feet deep. if
that should prove necessary. the peo-
pie living in the section which would
be benefited would pay the difference
between this amount and the total
amount necessary to finish the WELL in
case it should be necessary to 90 more
than one thousand feet in order to Sc
cure satisfactory flow of water. At
the November term of the commissions
crs court there was presented Il petit
ton from the business men of this city
and signed by very large number of
them, urging the board to take favor
able action on the matter. and stating
their belief that inestimable benefits
to the county would result if the fine
body of land in the White Bluff, region
were brought under cultivation. The
individual members of the board had
the assurances of a great many people
who were in n position to know the
conditions that the theory of irrga-
ton from artesian wells was practical
in this case. and this view was further
supported by the fact that in the town
of White Bluffs there is an artesian
we'll that has given satisfactory results
IN irrigating a large area of land
The board, after considering the mat
ter in every light. deemed it advisable
to grant the prayer of the petitioners
and consequently ordered bids adver-

HEARD AS To
JUNK MATTER

Rock Island. Ill, Dec. S.-Editor Ar
gus: AS to the two aldermanic COM
munications appearing in The Argus
of last evening bearing on the water

seeking to reply to my statements OF
the previous night, appearing likewise
in your paper. permit me now TO make
a few brief statements. In the first
place. after a careful scrutiny of Aid.
Sections communication, l find no real
excuse offered on the part of Sexton
for bursting into print. or for his atti-
tude in the waterworks investigation
But as TO O'Connor it would seem that
he wished to escape the responsibility
Of censurins some of the city officials
for neglect and carelessness in the dis
charge of official duty. His argument
is one OF insinuations and inuendoeS.
He speaks of someone as 4 sandbag-
ger. Now TO whom does he refer? He
insinuates that slanderers are people
who write the truth. Permit me To
put the question TO the alderman d.
rect: To whom, captain. do you refer
when YOU speak of sandbaggers? Name
your man. If you know your premises,
speak the name ana the law VIII pro-
tect you. If you mean me. don't be
timid about il. i am perfectly able TO
take care of myself. | beg leave to
state that in writing | charged the
waterworks department with the fol-
lowing charges referred to below:
THAT the people have not received
pay for junk that had been taken from
the waterworks department" That
such statement was then and is now
the truth. and the city and taxpayers
have hot received pay for the same up
until the present day and hour. That
the ordinances and statutes had been
violated by those in charge of the man.

ment.''
That / charged $40 was all THAT had
been paid TO the city clerk for the last
three years on the sale of junk, and
that the books would prove il. The
truth of said statement was proven be-
fore your eyes. admitted by the city
officials and within the hearing of your
ears. and You cannot in any possible
manner get away from the truth. That

been alleged and certain orders had
