Unitarians Meet In Chicago.

CHICAGO. Sept 27.-The twenty
third meeting Of the National Unita-
rian conference began here today in
the Fine Arts building, with large
number of delegates present, from the
west particularly. 1t is unusual for
the conference to be held west of the
Ohio river but Unitarian leaders from
the west and middle west made a call
for q meeting that could be attended
by large number of western dele
gates than those held in New England
or other parts of the east. The confer
ence is expected to endorse the ad-
mnistration of President Taft, who is
the most distinguished member of the
Unitarian church.

TELLS OF WALLA WALLA VALLEY
October Pacific Monthly Tells Q
Artesian Wells Here.

In the October Pacific Monthly
published in Portland, Oregon,
there appears lengthy article under
the caption: "Artesian Waters in the
West" in which the Walla Walla val
ley comes in for mention several times
and the Blalock orchard wells is
dealt with extensively The article
is written by N. H. barton, geoioglst
United States geological survey.
In the article the writer. who is
well versed on the subject, sets forth
that the artesian well is one of the
principal means of retaining semi
arid lands. Though the article is very
instructive. most of those who live
in this section of the West are ia
miliar with the workings of the arte-
sian wells their value and how they
are drilled 1t, however, is an out
side source this time that tells the
Walla Walla valley people in what a
valuable community they are living.
Among the many pictures and views
of the wells and water is one of the
big gushers at the Blalock farm.
In speaking of the Walla Walla val
ley, the writer says: I'm the Walla
Walla valley great artesian develop
ment is promised from the number
of fine wells already struck. The cut
is one of the Blalock well, a reproduce
