Almost every lawn in Milton is
overrun with dandelion says the
Eagle. Unless war of extermina-
tion is waged the lawns will be prac-
tically ruined. Gasoline has been
found very effective in killing the vel

with the liquid it completely paraIyz
es the root and in time kills it. 1t is
believed that if the people will adopt
the remedy their lawns will be. to a

Pendleton Tribune: w. R. Taylor /
and wife of Athena, returned home |
last evening, after coming down for /
the horse show. Mr.. Taylor, who is
better known as Johnnie or "Jinks"
brought down Fay LeGrow's fine team |
of dapple browns, which Sheriff Tay-
lor drove in the parade, while he rode |
his pretty little sorrel saddle horse,
which looks as if the blood of the ia |
nous Arabian might course through |
its veins and which helped him win
the relay race for saddle horses at the |
fair at Walla Walla last fall.
Two big steam we'll drilling outfits
are hammering away daily in an effort |
to pierce the thick, hard shell Of vol ,
canic rock, granite and sandstone and |
to reach a permanent sheet of water
and thus solve the water problem for |
the rancheTs of the Madras plateau re-
gion. Should these efforts prove suc-
cessful and the drills tap an inexhaust-
ible supply of deep well water it would
soon be goodbye to the water tank, !
which has thus far in that counry's |
history been very prominent and in
dispensable factor in everyday life5
The drills are down to the depth of
nearly 800 feet
