WATER ON AGENCY PLAINS.
Rejoicing in Northern Part of Crook
County,


There is rejoicing in the Madras
country today. Water has been struck
in the well being drilled on the Agency
plain on the ranch of w. F. Magill,
10 miles north of this place, the flow
being tapped at a depth of 420 feet
and the water rising so feet in the drill
hole, says a correspondent from Mad
ras, Crook county The drillers state
that the first water brought out of
the well was warm. Several express
the opinion that an artesian flow will
be developed when the well is cased.
The water was encountered, in
layer composed of soft soapstone and
clay and drilling Is being continued in
order, If possible, to get hard bot
tom for the we'll.
All on the Water Wagon.
Persons who have not experienced
the hardships of a waterless country
can scarcely realize what it means. 1t
means that unless once or twice each
week the farmer bitches four horses
| to his water tank and drives from
three to IL miles for water. he finds
himself witout this indispensable ele-
ment-no water to drink, no water for
his household needs, no water for his
chickens, hogs, cows or work horses.
With fertile lands and delightful cli-
mate, and now, promise of the pass
ing of the serious handicap of lack
of water for household and ranch pur-
poses, the spirit of rejoicing is strong
upon every resident of the district and
this baptism of water, although sub
terranean, has washed away many of
the sins Of this country, in. the judg-
ment Of the people who love 1t and
are developing 1t.

WALTER WELLMAN, with his airship,
has started on his quest for the north
pole. Except for his wireless, he is cut
off. Before him are the glittering ice
fields, the trackless wastes of snow, un-
known perils and dangers. How do you
imagine he feels about it? Besides dan
ger, there is another thing before him
an ideal. We say-what is the use of
discovering the north pole? Practically
there isn't much. It will not add sin
gle dollar to circulation. But it will add
great deal to knowledge when we shall
have explored the II, 100000 square miles
about which we know nothing today. We
will know the pressure of the atmosphere
in those regions, the direction and force
of the winds, the kinds and movements
of the clouds. We shall be better &C
quainted with the aurora. We shall
know the temperature OF the northern
sea at its level and in it's depths. We
shall chart it's currents and circulate its
tides. We shall know the fascinating
natural history OF the polar regions
about it's birds it's beasts, its water crea.
lures, it's vegetation, it's MOSES and
ainchens. We shall make maps of its
geography, burrow into its rocks and les
and bring home samples of its air.

Awards in Beauty Quest.

Next Sunday, July 7, The Milwaukee
Sentinel will announce the final awards
made by the judges in the American
Beauty Quest which has engaged the at
tention of the readers of twenty-seven
metropolitan newspapers of the country
during recent months. Handsome half
tone portraits of the young women hon
ored by the judges will be published, as
we'll as sketches and personal descrip-
tons of the subjects. Since the result
of the Wisconsin quest was made known,
comparisons have been made from week
to week by the people of Wisconsin be-
tween Miss Gabrielle Worsley, declared
the most beautiful woman in this state
and the women who have won the hon
ors elsewhere. No little qualification
was felt over the fact that Wisconsin,
representative was among the six whose
portraits were published June 30th, and
from whom the judges will select the
one most beautiful of ALL To be one oil
the six most beautiful women selected
from so many thousands is in itself an
honor, and one which the people of Wis

nounced next Sunday, as we'll as the or
der of the first five awards in the nation

MANY of the salaries of those holding
public office are greater than the salary
or income of the average citizen, and yet
there seems to be tendency among leg
islators to increase the salaries of public
officials from time to time, and later re-
tire the office holders with pension
To the fellow on the outside this seems
wrong. Since the man holding the pub
lie office has better job than the aver
age person, it seems only fair that the
man who has held Office should be re-
tired without pension. At present we
have in mind the bill before the legisla-
ture to retire with salary justice of
the supreme court 70 years old after con.
tinuous service of twenty years. If it
were left to US we should kill it, as it es-
tablishes dangerous precedent. On
only one condition might we be induced
to favor such measure and that would
be in case the person for whom pen,
sion might be asked, had been excep-
tionally faithful and received a small
salary, and through sickness or similar
misfortune had become unable to pro-
vide for himself or members of family
wholly dependant upon him for support.

The senate has acted wisely in passing
bill which appropriates $4,000 for the
purpose of experiments in road making
in Wisconsin. While this is only one
fourth of the amount which was asked
by the Geological Survey, it will consti-
tute beginning and should furnish an
impetus to the good roads movement
The present season is one we'll calculated
to impress on farmers as we'll as on peo-
pie generally the practical value of good
roads and the wisdom of investing money
from year to year in their construction
1t is the purpose of the Geological Sur
vey to show what may be accomplished
if road building is undertaken under the
direction of trained engineers and the
experiment, though somewhat handi-
capped by reason Of the small appropri-
alton, will be watched with interest and
will be expected to have an educational
value Of considerable Importance to the
people of the state

July passengea rates on all railroads
of the United States will be reduced to
2 cents a mile, it is reported. This was
the decision reached in Chicago after a
long and heated discussion by the lead
ing railway presidents of all the western
and transcontinental roads. 1t was not
formal agreement, but is equally bind
ing, because two large roads doing a
transcontinental business are said to
have served an ultimatum to others that
they would put the rate into effect i'm
mediately Officials of several OF the
roads admitted that they had been
forced to bow to public opinion and anti
railway legislation. They said that no
further fight would be made on the 2
cent laws already passed.

AS USUAL. when we get to work on
anything of Importance, il which much
money is at stake, it does not take much
time before we are at the head of the
business. In 1902 the United States
built only 314 automobiles, while France
built 23,7l1 machines. Last year we ran
our score up to $4,000, while France
came on behind with $4,000, and Eng
land followed with $4,000; Germany with
$4,000; Italy with 10000, and Belgium
with 10000. Ia the past nine years the
countries named have manufactured and
sold $4,000 of these machines, represent
ing a cost of fully S1,0O0,0OO,OOO. 1t is
one of the wonders OF the age that new
industry can in so brief time show
such wonderful results.

Detective Hartigan to Testify in Case
of Anton Besold.

Detective Thomas P. Hartigan left here
last night at 1850 o'clock to testify under
a summons in the case of Anton Besold, at
Los Angeles, Cal Besold is accused of hav-
ing murdered his wife. A number of
friends of the detective were at the Penn

sold, who Is alleged to have shot his wife,
Glade Besold, near Los Angeles, last sum-
mer, was arrested in this city by Detectives
Hartigan and Baur and Precinct Detective
Mullen of the first precinct.
During the investigation Of the case in
this city the detectives recovered property
that had belonged to Mrs. Besold, and
which. It is charged, was given to woman
in this city by Besold. 1t is probably for the
purpose of tracing this property and of
detailing the statements Besold made while
he was under arrest here that the local de-
tective was summoned as a witness in the
case.
Before leaving last night Detective Harti-
gan assured Major Sylvester that he would
uphold the dignity of the local department
while he is in California.
