SPEAKER tom CHENEY.
His Candidacy fox Reelection from Nor
ristown Announced.

This paper is pleased TO announce
that the Hon. Thomas G. Cheney Of Nor.
risyille will be a candidate TO succeed
himself az representative from Morris
town without opposition from within his
own party, This is particularly crafty
ing as there is all probability that he
viii be reelected speaker also without
opposition. In this latter respect, some
rumors that other candidates for the
speakership might arise in case certain
men were members OF the coming House,
but thorough investigation OF such ru.
mors warrants the assertion that they
are entirely without foundation in fact,
Indeed, all gentlemen named in the ru-
mors are among Mr., Cheneys best
friends and have given him personal as
suranee OF their support.
In a further sense, the assurance OF
Mr.. Chcney's unopposed candidacy is
gratifying because OF its relation to the
continuance OF the progressive policies
in state government that have been so
effectively manifest during the past two
| years and which have been so emphati-
cally endorsed by the nomination Of
Lieutenant Governor Prouty TO the gov.

tial factor in the pace set and in the
progress then made. Therefore, in his

That Mr. Cheney is TO have no oppo-

state in the past and the promise Of its

ANA RIVER SPRINGS, OREGON.
Source of Waters Investigated by Gov
eminent Biologists.

i NtH"iNhh AVVlVAiate'
The northern end Of the valley Of Sum.
mer lake, in southerns Oregon, contains
group Of three or four large springs
(which unite to form Ana river, the prin.
cipal feeder OF the lake from the south.
These springs occur in semi arid re-.
gion, where their volume about 100000
gallons a minute and their constant
flow through wet and dry seasons make
them objects OF unusual interest, and
their source has always been puzzle
to local investigators.
Summer lake valley is depression
borderod on the west and north by con.
picuous ellis OF basalt and on the east
by lower rims of the same material. One
large stream, Chewaucan river, rising in
the wooded mountains west OF the basin,
discharges into IL through conspicuous
canyon but the flow OF this stream is
less than that Of the great springs at
the head OF the valley, and large part
Of IL escapes over the surface southwark
through Chewaucan marsh into the al.
kaline Lake Albert, which occupies de.
preston somewhat lower than that par
tally filed by Summer lake The sur.
face drainage into the basin from the
high, rocky, arid plateaus to the east is
small.
The temperature Of the Ana river wa.
tiers 20 degrees or more above the mean
annual temperature Of the region indi.
Gates that the springs rise from depths
1000 feet or more below the surface;
and as the alluvium that forms the vail
ley iloor is probably a mere veneer whose
thickness is much less than this, il il
probably that the waters rise from the
underlying rocks along one or more Of
the lines OF easy passage afforded by the
faults or fracture planes that limit the
valley. But even ii the springs yield
rock waters rising from depths, the
source OF these waters still remains uni
known. The biologists OF the United
States geological survey who have been
studying the region rejected at once the
idea that the areas east and south Of
the springs could furnish the water.
partly because OF the aridity Of these
areas, and partly because their investi-
cations had revealed structural condi.
tions that would tend to prevent the cir.

son rivers, both streams of considerable
volume. 1t is probable That the surface
Of this mountain region presents areas
OF porous rock capable Of absorbing the
rain water that falls up it, and these
areas are regarded as the most probable
source OF the waters that issue in such
great volume at the springs.
