ARTES|AN WATER IN OREGON AND IDAHO

Professor calls attention to the fact
that while warm springs may indicate
the pressure OF water-charged layer
that would supply flowing wells, a
hot spring. or one having a tempera-
ture Of more than 100 degrees, Is not
so favorable an indication.
Hot springs ordinarily rise from
depths so great that even II they come
from a we'll defined water-charged
layer 1t would be Unavailable as a
source OF supply for most purposes
for which artesian water is used, as
the expense Of drilling to reach 1t
would be unjustifiable.
The report referred to, which may
be obtained free Of charge by apply
ing to the director OF the geological
survey at Washington, d. c., contains
a discussion OF the artesian conditions,
illustrated by diagrams, and describes
the various basins, whose locations
are shown by a sketch map. A de-
tailed account OF the wells and springs
of the region is given, and suggestions
are made in regard to the size OF drill
holes, casing of wells. and preserva-
ton OF well records, the importance OF
which is too often overlooked.
The necessity for legislation restrict
ing the utilization, or rather the waste
of subsurface waters Is also empha-
sized. Owners should be compelled
by law to case every well hole in an
artesian basin-that is, to place an
iron casing or tube in the hole, made
sufficiently tight to prevent water
from rising outside of 1t.
Such casing should be put In every
well that remains open. The lower
end of the casing should be just above
the water-bearing bed. This should
be done, not only in the interest OF
the owner himself, but because the
escape OF water from an artesian ba-
sin in excess OF the natural overflow
means a decrease in pressure on the
portions remaining and consequently
lowering of the artesian head.
In arid regions especially the prob
lem OF economically using water and
maintaining the artesian head Is
matter OF public concern. 1t should
also be required by law that every
artesian well when not in use should
be securely closed and that every
abandoned well in an artesian area
should be completely filled with I'M.
pervious material. An artesian basin
is not an inexhaustible reservoir, and
every practicable means should be
employed for It's conservation and le-
gitlmate use.

MIGRANTS HOME WITH MONEY
European WorlSmen Return from U.
S. With Ample Resources to Rest

Up.
Consul General Richard Guenther
of Frankfort quotes a prominent
German journal representing tourists
and travelling affairs, which discuss
es the hegrla Of emlgrants which has
recently been set in from United
States toward Europe as follows:
The emigrants returning via Bre-
men and Hamburg are mostly Rus
slams, Hungarians and Austrians,
and have paid their fares to their re-
spective countries. They are in pos
session of considerable means. as is
shown by the fact that those who ar
rived at Bremen on November 81 ex-
changed more than $1,000 marks
(mark equals 23.S cents) in Bremen
banking houses for currency OF their
home countries. This sum is only
part OF their savings, as many OF
them carry with them American gold
and other coins obtained at New
York, also drafts on banks in their
native countries. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that some of them have more
than $500 each in their money belt
bags.
Most of these passengers will go
again to the United States when the
economic conditions there have re-
sumed normal shape. They make
good use OF their forced vacation to
revisit the old home and relations
and to take rest and recreation after
many years of arduous work in Am
erica. The native countries OF these
immigrants have good cause to re-
celve them with great satisfaction, be-
cause they bring with them not alone
very desirable cash funds. but also @
large fund Of practical knowledge ac'
quired and experience gained in Am
erica.

Peculiar Weather Conditions.

1t has been remarked that the
weather during the past year has been
different from preceding winters and
the people of this county witnessed
sight Friday night that was new in
the experience of a majority. The
sky was clear but out Of the north
were repeated flashes Of lightning
which took the form OF sheet llghtn-
ing and was accompanied by a pro-
longed flash. This was surprising
from the fact that the weather was
cold at the time and the thermome-
ter registered about 40 during the en-
tire day.-Long Creek Ranger.

CRAZY ITALIAN
HANDY WITH GUN
Free Wild West Exhibition in
New York Shooter
Now in Straight Jacket.

New York, Sept. 26.-An Italian of
huge proportions. with swarthy face
and a bandana handkerchief around
his ieck, created a wild scene in Wash
ington Square park today when he
tossed his hat in the air, and, drawing
a big revolver from his pocket, began
to shoot the headpiece full of holes.
The park was filled with loungers at
the time and the sight of the man with
the blazing weapon in his hand sent
them scurrying in every direction. He
paid not the slightest attention TO his
surroundings, however, and when the
hat riddled with bulletsfi had fallen TO
the ground, he calmly tossed 1T in the
air again and renewed the fusillade.
The gun had been twice emptied when
two policemen rushed to the park.
When the Italian saw the officers he
darted away like a deer, bounding over
fences and other distractions with an
agility that soon left his pursuers far
in the rear He was finally captured
by policemen who had circled around
the park. He put up the hardest kind
Of fight before he was arrested. He
was sent to the psychopathic ward OF
Bellevue hospital in straitjacket.

Given as Cause of the
Double Tragedy.

New York, Sept. 26.-The bodies of
Ella and Edwin Soden and their moth
err, Mary Soden, were found in their
apartment in Brooklyn--today. the
mother and son evidently having COM
mitted suicide together in their grief
over the death from apparently natural
causes of Miss Ella Soden- The body
of the latter was dressed in white and
apparently laid out for burial, but it
lay in a pool of blood, while the bodies
of, her brother and mother were found
in bed.
An examination showed that the
young woman had bled profuSely
through the mouth. apparently from
hemorrhage of the lungs.
BY, the bed upon which lay the bodies
of mother and son there were three
bottles which evidently had contained
a mixture of chloroform and whisky.
A letter left by Edwin left no doubt
as to a double suicide plot between
him and his mother. 1t follows:

lovable of sisters. is dead. This world

Comparison of Platforms.

You present an indictment against

question, but you do not refer to all of
the planks and do not deal justly with
those TO which you do refer. Our plat
form declares in favor of the vigorous
enforcement of the criminal law against
guilty trust magnates and officials
Your platform does not contain any
such demand. Will you say that your
platform is better than ours in that re-
spect? Our platform demands that
corporations beyond a certain size be
compelled to sell at the same price in
all parts of the country. due allowance
being made for the cost of transporta-
ton. Will you deny that this is in the
interest of the consumer and in the in
te-est of the smaller competitors? We
present a plan under which no corpora
ton will be permitted to control more
than one-nalf of the total product. II
has been stated that the Steel compa-
ny, with your express consent. pur-
chased one of its largest rivals and

per cent of the total output. Will you
insist that in permitting this you

corporations than l do in opposing
them?
You quote at length from a speech
made by Governor Hughes in which he
ridicules one of our antitrust RENE
