DEATH OF e. P. TAYLOR.
Young Teamster Dies at st. Mary's
With Typhoid Fever.

Edwin P Taylor, a young teamster,
who has been i'll with typhoid fever
at St Marys hospital for the past
three weeks, died last night about 9
o'clock.
Taylor has been working for John
Timmons for the past four or five
months on an express wagon which
stood in front of Hedger's jewelry
store About three weeks ago his fell
low workmen noticed that he seemed
to be sick. He would lie in the hot
sun and sleep in the bed of his wagon
for long periods. He was taken to the
hospital and has been under the care
of the general relief committee of the
Odd Fellows of this city, Of which
lodge he was a member in good stand
ing.
His body was taken to Cookery &
Holloways undertaking chapel and the
funeral will be- arranged for as soon
as relatives can be communicated
with. Mrs. John Ennis, an aunt, who
lives in Northport, Michigan, is the
only known relative.
Taylor was a quiet sort of a fellow.
He went by the nickname of Butch
and many of those who worked with
him for months did not even know his
name. AS near as could be ascertained
he came here about a year ago from
Gresham, Oregon, and formerly from
the east. where he had some prop
erty. He is said to have been an in
dustrious sort of fellow we'll liked
by those who knew him. Before
working for Timmons young Taylor
was engaged in logging and lumber
ing in which work he lost a couple of
fingers last winter. He was about %
years of age.

EXPERT VIEWS THE ORCHARDS
ture Praises Good Condition Of
Fruit Trees in County.

NJ. B. Waite of the United States
department of agriculture, spent yes
terday in Walla Walla viewing Or
chards about the city under the
charge of Secretary A. c. Moore of
the Commercial club. Professor Waite
is official pathologist in charge of the
diseases of orchard fruits and his ter
ritory covers the whole country.
He attended the irrigation congress
at Boise and spent some time in ex-
amining orchard conditions in that
state. He was persuaded by Secre-
tary Moore to stop off a day here
and get in touch with orchard cond1-
tons around here.
When asked to talk about what he
saw, Professor Waite said:
Il am surprised to find such a free
dom from pests in such an old fruit
county as this. 1t suffers far less than
many of the places 1 have examined
in the northwest which have hardly
begun to raise fruit. 1 found princi-
pally pear blight and prune curl, the
latter in a very slight degree.
There is a really remarkable free
dom from leaf blights, fruit spots and
fungus diseases; also of root rot.
lone thing that impressed me par
ticularly was that you seem to be able
here to be successful while raising al
falfa in the orchard. This is con-
trary to every rule and experience
elsewhere in so dry country as this,
yet you seem to be doing it and sue
ceeding too
Professor Waite went through the
Blalock orchard with which he was
much pleased. He regards it as the
largest and best that he has yet seen
in the west.

GET WATER At BREWERY
Not The Hoppy Sort But Real
Artesidn.
FLOW STARTS OF ITS OWN ACCORD
WORK STOPPED BY THE WELL
DIGGERs AND WATER GUSHEs
FORTH IN NIGHT.
FLOW STARTS OF ITS OWN ACCORD

The artesian well being sunk by the
Betz Brewing & Mating company in
the rear of the brewery at Third and
Alder streets began flowing some time
last night and this morning a fair
sized stream was pouring out of the
pipe into the basement of the new
bottling works building where the well
is located.
The engineer at the brewery on
visiting the well this morning was
surprised when he noticed a small
stream trickling down the side of the
pipe. On investigation he found that
water was actually flowing out of the
we'll.
George is TickIed.
Manager Refer was decidedly
pleased this morning when told the
news. The Betz company has ex-
pended close to $4,000 in an effort to
develop artesian water and up to this
morning it looked like a hopeless case.
The contractors were forced to dis
continue work a few days ago on ac-
count of mud at the bottom of the
we'll interfering with the drills. 1t
was decided to case up the mud with a
four inch pipe On the inside of the
six-inch pipe and orders for 600 feet of
four-inch pipe were placed. The pipe
is expected in day or so.
May Go Deeper.
Manager Refer is of the opinion
that as soon as the well is cleared of
mud and sediment a good flow will be
obtained. The we'll is down a depth
of nearly 900 feet and the question is
being debated as to whether or not to
sink the well any deeper.
A number of farmers who are con-
templating sinking artesian wells in
different parts of the valley have been
watching the Betz companys well
closely. If it proves a success a num-
Der of wells will be sunk in the near
future.
