What Is believed to be the finest
artesan well in this section of tho
northwest has just been completed on
the Blalock fruit farm, says the Wal
la Walla Bulletin. 1t is down a
depth of $50 feet and the flow of wa
ter through a six-inch casing is so
strong that 1t tore out the ground for
several feet in the vicinity of the well
and rocks and bags of sand had to be
hastily secured to riprap the cut made
| I'm a ravine a few feet away.
1t is estimated that the water will
raise at least to a height of one hum
dred feet in a nine-inch pipe. While
It has not been practical to measure
the flow, let it estimated that 1t Is
in the neighborhood of a million and
half gallons every "a hours.
Manager ]. H. Elrath desires to
er as he believes a still stronger flow
of water will be secured, while the
drillers refuse to make the attempt
for fear of losing their drills. When
the powerful underground current
was first struck gravel as large as a
hens egg was thrown out of the pipes
and II was with difficulty the water
was placed under control at all. With
each inch the we'll has been sunk
since the water was first tapped the
flew has materially increased, but
the drilling is so difficult as to make
the work extremely hazardous and
expensive.
VIM. McCausland is the driller and
he and Manager Elerath are holding
conference today to decide wheth-
er to try and sink the well deeper or
quit AT its present depth
The water while 1t is not as cold
as that from surface wells in that
Vicinity, is extremely palatable. The
we'll is on the old Drumheller farm
Just north of the county road and
within a few feet Of the new Ennis
road. The Blalock company expects
to build a reservoir and use the wa
ter for irrigation purposes.
The success of this effort TO get
artesian water in this section will
doubtless lead to many others and
ultimately a large amount of land
now used for growing wheat exclu-
sively will come under irrigation. All
who have seen the well exposes sur
prise at the flow of water and much
interest has been awakened.

MORE TEXT BOOKS COMING
Number of School Books Needed in
Oregon Was Underestlmated.

The Oregon state board Of educa-
ton, consisting of Governor George
e. Chamberlain, Secretary of State
Frank w. Benson and Superintendent
of Public Instruction J. H. Alderman,
met in the governors office in the
capitol last evening and with ]. K.
Gill, distributing agent for the va
rious cook concerns carrying con-
tracts with the state to furnish this
years school books, went carefully
over the matter Of the present short
age Of school books in Oregon, says
the Salem Statesman.
Mr.. Gill stated to the board that
the shortage could be accounted for
in two ways-flrst, that the number
of books needed has been underesti-
mated; and, second. that some Of the
companies, possibly owing to the fact
that the orders had been too large
TO- them to handle Mt once had net
been prompt in shipping the books.

ton of a democratic governor, while
the republicans elected the remainder
of the state ticket. The most reliable
advices from that state are to the
effect that the election next Tuesday
will probably result the same way.
In Massachusetts the democratic
party has split into factions and each
has named a state ticket. The re-
election of Governor Curtis Guild, re-
publican, is regarded here as fore
gone conclusion in view Of the lack
of harmony in the democratic ranks.
"Cut and Dried" in Mississippi.
The election in Mississippi will be
of a purely perfunctory character,
merely to confirm the results of the
democratic state primary last sum-
mer. The successful candidates Of
the primaries, all of them democrats,
Of course, will be certain of election.
The new governor will be E. f. Noel,
who will succeed James X. Varda-
man.
The campaign in Kentucky is one
of the most interesting in the entire
country and all signs point to close
contest The republicans are maxi
ing confident prophecies Of success in
the election of their candidate for
governor. The bearing that the cleo
\ ton will have on the United States
senatorship has given added interest
to the campaign.
Pennsylvania elects a state treas
urer. The independent movement in
the state which was so prominent two
years ago has been abandoned and
as there is to be straight party vote
the republicans expect to carry the
state by the usual majority.
The contest in Nebraska is for a
justice of the sumpreme court and re-
gents of the state university.
New York Chief Attraction.
The country is taking more inter-
est in the local campaign in New York
than in any of the state contests, un-
less it be that in Kentucky The
only state officers elected in the en-
pire state this year are two judges
of the court of appeals. The repub-
licans and the democrats have nomi-
mated the same judicial tickets and SC
there is no contest. In New York
city interest has been created by rea-
son of the fact that the republicans
have fused with Williap R. Hearsti

ticket, the republicans taking five
elevenths. The union Of forces has
been severely criticized by many Of

Just what the educational depart

mean to Walla Walla, Is realized by
but few people, says the Walla Walla
Statesman. The work is extensive
and the classes here will be put in

that department is doing in associa-

It is the largest single educational
institution on the continent. aside
from the public school system.
An increase of 5000 students last

be the growth this year. There was
total of more than $4,000 students,
a number greater than the enrolment
of 10 of our largest universities com

In hulling the grain. Peas and beans are
also threshed in this way The grain is
winnowed by the wind. The ears are
spread out on the threshing floor and the
grains pounded off with clubs or shelled by
hand.
Much of the corn is cut and laid on the
banks of the canal until the people have

Camels as Hay Racks.
The chief means of carrying farm prod
uce from one place to another is on bull
locks and camels. The camel is taken out
into the corn field while the harvesting Is
going on. AS the men cut the corn they
tie 1t up into great bundles and hang one
on each side of his hump. The ordinary
camel can carry ABOUT one-fifth as much
as one horse hitched to wagon or one
tenth as much tWo-horse team. Hay
