Prosser Strikes Water,

The Prosser Falls Land and Power
Co., after several weeks Of tedious and
expensive drilling, have, it is fondly
believed, struck strata of pure
water in their we'll at the power
house that will prove ample for all
present needs, says the Prosser Record.
The we'll is now down to a great depth
and the water therein is within ten or
twelve feet of the surface. A test
to determine the capacity of the well
and to ascertain whether the supply
will be sufficient to answer present
needs will, in all probability, be made
this afternoon. That Prosser will soon
enjoy an ample supply of the purest
drinking water is now assured.

Columbia Farmers Planning q
Gigantic Pool
ENCOURAGED BY LAST YEARS SUCCESS
ESTIMATED THAT 100000 SACKS,
ALMOST ENTIRE YIELD, WILL
BE HELD.

DAYTON, July 31.-It was an
nounced here Saturday by the promot-
ers Of the affair that the Columbia
county farmers, encouraged by their
success last year, when they sold their
barley at SIS ton, will pool their bar
ley again this year and hold it for $40
a ton. The 20 farmers then composing
the pool will have their number great
ly enlarged this year.
Some crops valued at 100000 each
will in this manner be sold. Money
will be borrowed on the grain at per
cent in order to buy the crop of any
member that wishes to withdraw from
the pool for independent sale. 1t is
estimated that 100000 sacks, nearly all
the barley in the county, will be pooled
as against $4,000 sacks pooled last
year. The whole sale will be made at
one time and to one buyer or combi-
nation of buyers.

THE DALLES, July 31.-James
Spicer, who lives about two miles east
of the Fred Fisher place in township
1914, had the good fortune to strike
a plentiful supply Of water in the well
which he was drilling on his place,
one day last week. The Spieers dug
their we'll down fifty feet with pick
and shovel, and from that depth were
sinking it with a hand drill, when at
a depth of 81 feet the drill broke
through into what is apparently a
subterranean lake, or body of water
The hole is only five inches in diam
eter, and since striking the body Of
water they have been drawing up
water for all ranch and household
purposes in one Of the long, narrow
we'll buckets with bottom valve. The
water is cool and clear, and the sup
ply appears inexhaustible, although
the body of water or subterranean lake
is less than two feet deep.

ARE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

MOSCOW, Idaho, July 31.-There Is
now in the treasury Of Latah county
as in many other counties in Idaho
MANY thousands of dollars which
rightfullv belong to county officials.
Startling as this may seem, yet it is
so. and but little investigation is nee
essary to find that such a state OF al
fairs exists. And this situation is
brought about by the law enacted by
the state legislature about four years
ago when it was ruled that hotel ex-
penses incurred while officials are away
from home and engaged in the per-
Torrance of their duties are legitimate
and should be made good by the
county.
Too Late Now.
But the Latah county officials did
not know this, and they allowed the
matter to go on until now it is too
late. All of them have several hun
dred dollars coming, but they cannot
put in any claims because the law
says that at the expiration of each
and every quarter they shall put in
a voucher showing the monies they
have on hand as fees and the amount
mate expenses during said quarter
This voucher is literally a quit claim
for all the time, and they cannot ask
for back pay or back expenses which
they may have coming.

Farmers joyful.
The Filey ranch lies along the west
shore of the Columbia at the lower
rapids, and controls the most accessi-
BILE means of reaching the vast amount
of energy that can be harnessed and
made to do service to man. The new
enterprise is hailed with delight by
the farmers along the Columbia and
the farms which now barely yield a
living will be capable of being trans
formed into veritable storehouses of
wealth.

THE MENACE OF TYPHOID.

The report of the state board OF
health relative to the prevalence of
typhoid fever in many sections of the
state is not necessarily alarming 1t
is. however, necessarily disgraceful,
since typhoid is filth disease of a dis
tinctly preventable type. and can be-
come epidemic in an enlightened COM
munity only through the grossest care
iessness on the part of the health au-
thorities or of the citizens themselves.
The germs are water-borne, or liquid
borne-millS being sometimes carrier
through a contaminated water supply
at the dairies-and they can only find
Judgment in the human body through
the mouth and stomach. Simply stated,
they must be swallowed.
Protection of the water supply Of
villages or farmhouses from surface
drainage or cesspool seepage may not
always be possible, but certainly a
single case of typhoid in family and
two or three in community should be
sufficient evidence that the wells from
which the water for family use Is
drawn have become contaminated. II
the water must be used, it should be
boiled as the only means of protecting
the family or community from con-
tagion.
AS to the rest, directions for prevent
ing the spread of the disease from the
patient have been so explicit and so
often published that no nurse. house

stroys the germs of typhoid, whatever
the filth in which they find lodgment

WORK OF THE CONFERENCE.

The irrigation conference held in
this city Thursday should and doubt
less will be the means of securing
legislation that will be of direct and
great benefit to the entire state. The
action taken In authorizing Chairman
Fraser to name a committee of seven
to draft a suitable irrigation code,
will. it is believed, meet the approba-
tion of all who are interested in irri-
cation, directly or indirectly, in all
parts of the state, Mr.. Frazer will
take plenty of time in selecting the
committee, with a view to getting able
men who will represent every part of
the state. The committee, in accord
ance with the resolution of Hon. A.
]. Splawn, who introduced it. will in
clude three attorneys. three practical
irrigators and one competent engi-
neer.
Not only Yakima county and city.
but the entire state is to be congratu-
lated on being able to have the help
and advice of the reclamation engi-
neers and other officials in getting
the matter in shape. 1t is also a mat
ter of qualification that Governor
Mead and Commissioner Ross took
enough interest to come and assist
the conference with their advice and
their knowledge based on a familiar
ity with the needs and wishes of all
parts of the state.
There is every reason to believe that
the ultimate result OF the conference
will be to secure to the state an ample
and enduring law governing irriga-
tion. IF it does, the days work will
be one of the most important and val
liable ever done in the state.

for every 1877 gallons which were
evaporated from surface irrigation,
only SO gallons were evaporated
from burrows nine inches deep.
"Some crops cannot be cultivated
during the period of growth, but
even in cases of these much can be
done to check evaporation from the
surface. One means is to irrigate
less often and apply larger quanti-
ties. In following this practice
the bulk Of the water will be placed
beyond the reach of the agencies
which vaporize moisture. Another
means which Is frequently en-
ployed is to apply the water after
sunset. The main factor in evap-
Grafton is temperature. Warm wa
ter at 80 degrees Fahrenheit loses
by evaporation about seven times
more than cold water at 81 degrees.
The difference between day and
night temperatures in the west is
usually rs degrees; hence the ad-
vantage OF applying water after
sunset"

THOSE UNFORTUNATE RUSSIAN
JEWS.

JEWS.
At frequent intervals we read O
the massacre of Armenians by Turks
and deplore the fact that in the ma
ture of things, nothing less than {
war Of conquest upon Turkey car
stop the awful crimes But truth i.
truth and ii is only fair to say thai
the unspeakabie Mohammedan Turh
is not Whit worse than the unspeak.
able Christian Russian. There have
been dozen awful massacres OF
Jews in Russia within the past yeal
and If any redress has been made OF
even offered, we have seen no ac-
count of it. Surely religious hate is
the most cruel known among men
We know that the Russian gov
eminent is almost in extreme, the
czar is not sure of his life for day.
He distrusts the loyalty of his navy
and there are only few regiments
of his army that he implicitly trusts !;
we suspect that he does not dare at
tempt to stop the violence or to pro-
tect the Jews. But the strong Chris
tian powers of Europe could and
should interpose.
1t seems to us that the just thing
10 do, noting the Unsuitable hate that
exists in Russia against the Jews,
would be for the government to ap-
praise the fixed property of the Jews
and buy it. issuing bonds in payment
Those bonds would serve as collat-
erals on which to raise the needed
money TO remove the Jews to some
new land
Some one might ask, Where is
there any land to which such host
could emigrate?" We cannot ans
wer where the best place would be,
but there are plenty of places. We
think they might find a home in
Central America where the land is
good and where the products of the
soil would be just what the world
wants.
We think Great Britain would well
come their settlement in that region
We speak of it because it is but a
few days travel by sea and rail from
Russian southern ports. We think
that in western Texas and in the
northeast states of Mexico homes for
all of them might be secured. The
same could be done in southern Bra
I'll and Argentine. 1t is too early
for wholesale emigration to the
Holy Land; they would fare as bad
~ there as in Russia.
We think there should be a con-
certed movement among the wealthy
Jews of Great Britain and the United
States to put some project on foot
through which to save from murder
and property confiscation their race
in Russia. An appeal to southern
Europe would be useless, for the
same furious hate exists there. It
was that more than aught else that
caused the fury against Dreyfus. It
is only in the lands of the Anglo Sax
on that the Jew can find rest. But
the prophesies ought to be about ex-
hausted against the Jew and the day
of his peace ought to begin to dawn.
1t is hard to think that the world is
progressing when such atrocities as
those reported from Poland exists,
without kindling especial horror and
provoking no retribution. But 1t is
not question to moralize over; the
thing needed is to devise some plan
to prevent the constant repetition OF
those horrors. We know of no way
except through removal, and to that
humanity should work until 1t is &C.
complished Weekly.
