Ground Wnters of Texas.

The United States geological sur
vey has been for some time engaged
in ground-water investigations in that
portion of the Texas costal plain
which lies east of the Brazos river
and south of line passing through
jefferson, Marion county, Tex, and a
report on this area is now in prep
aration by Mr.. Alexander Deussen,
of the survey. This report will in
clude chapters on the surface features
of the region, the relations of the
rock formations, the water-bearing
strata. and the general conditions af-
fecting the occurrence of underground
water. The uses Of deep-water wells
and history of development the oc-
currence and relation of salt water in
the costal plain and the local condi-
tions in each county will be discussed.
The details will be summarized in
tables giving the location, depth and
diameter of each we'll and spring, the
names of owner and driller, the height

and the geological horizon of the
water-bearing stratum.

SALOONS GO; HOMES COME.

Inasmuch as discussions relating to
"dry' towns and good towns have
occupied considerable space in the
different papers of the state recently,
the following from the Portland Jour-
nal is Of interest:
A queer phase Of public spirit IL
manifest at Corvallis. According to
the local papers of that town the
commercial body and prominent citi-
zens Of that town are engaged in the
unusual errand Of trying TO provide
enough houses for people to live in.
Increase OF population has outgrown
the increase in dwelling houses, with
the result that public movement has
been inaugurated to supply the defic-
iency. The commercial body Is hold
ing public meetings, and a commit
tee OF prominent citizens is at work
in the effort to solve the dilemma. A
part Of the plan is to personally So
hcit men or means to build dwellings
for rental purposes, and the success
has been such that a strong move
ment has set in, with promise that
the emergency will be fully met. The
estimates of a committee Of the Conn.,
merclal club is that so to 75 houses
must be thus provided in order ito

BREAKING UP LARGE FARMS.

The following editorial on a sub
ject of vital interest to Pendleton and
Umatilla county, is taken from the
Portland Oregonian:
Dispatches from Linn county con-
vey the information that the large
grain farms of that county are being
cut up into small farms and sold to
new settlers, who will conduct opera
tions on a different plan from that
which has prevailed in the past. Linn
has been slower than most of the VAL
ley counties in realizing the advantage
of cutting up the large farms. Though
it was one of the first to begin de-
creasing the annual drain upon the
soil incident to grain growing, it has
until lately retained the policy OF
maintaining the large farms. Home
seekers can find many good oppor-
lulllltS III LINN SOultS' tAoih thS
level lands of the region near the
Willamette to the rolling hills near
the foot of the Cascade range, there
is awaiting the small farmer every
character of soil and surroundings
one can wish.
From, grain farming to diversified
farming and from diversified farming
to intensified farming is an easy
course. To turn Immediately from
grain farming to intensified farming
is more difficult. Most of the grain
farms have been so badly managed
that the soil is in poor condition. II
is unproductive and difficult to cult
vate. not because 1t is lacking in what
may be called the mineral elements,
but because it is lacking in humus,
Diversified farming brings rotation OF
crops. 1t includes livestock hus-
bandry by means of which fertility is
restored to the soil. BY dairying and
proper rotation of crops the soil will
be restored to its original productive
ness and mellowness, thus preparing
it for fruitgrowing and production OF
other valuable crops.
Linn is one of the best agricultural
counties of the Willamette valley
but like other counties it held too
long to the graingrowing practice.
Its lands have not advanced in value
as rapidly as they should. But the
change will soon be experienced.
Those who purchase small tracts in
Linn or other valley counties this year
will find that within the next five
years their lands will double in value
by reason of increased population, in
creased value of crops produced, i'm
proved transportation facilities and
progressive policies in general.

evidently the growth came in spite

IL not chief factor in the steady

water, municipality owned, in which
the water supply is piped Is miles

Tropical Races Are Shown to .
MSch Longer livsI.

Because in tropical countries more
decayed vegetable matter is found and
in consequence more miasma, the idea
has become popular that only vigorous
health and long life are likely in
northern latitudes where frost now
and then asserts itself. The fact that
humanity natures much earlier in
tropical climes seems to warrant the
conclusion that 1t must necessarily
perish much earlier. Dr. Luigi Sam
bon OF Rome attempts to put the pop
ular impression to sleep by an elab-
orate exhibition of statistics.
He doesn't contend that the warm
est climate is the most suitable to =
man. under the conditions Of modern
civilization, but he demonstrates Wig
orously against the idea that 4 cold
and variable climate is the most con-
ducive to the physical and iAtel-
tectual improvement Of the human
race While northern climates may
produce stalwart frames. statistics
show that they do not condsce to Ion
gevity- In proof Of his position the
doctor cites the fact that the average
Arab outlives the averA0s Doqainau
by not less than Is years.
