school pupils and patrons of the school

the basis of organization for the future

AN ARTES|AN WELL
Expert Will Prospect for Athena Land
& Trust Company-C City Well
MAY Be Used.

S. f. Wilson. secretary of the Ath-
ena Land & Trust company, was in
Walla Walla Tuesday, where he went
for the purpose of securing the SER
vices of an exert in artesian we'll drill
ing, to come and look over the Athena
field with the view of sinking we'll
here.
Pie expert will come here at once.
and If after investigation, he fiuds this
locality has good prospects for arte-
sian water, it ia understood the com
pany will contract with him to sink a
we'll.
Athena already has deep we'll and
it might be that arrangements could
be made whereby this we'll would be
the location of the artesian operations.
The Press understands that individual
property ownors have offered to con-
tribute financial aid in connection
with the company. in drilling the we'll.
Artesian wells are destined to be the
means of reclaiming practically as
much arid land in the Walla Walla
valley as the streams have reclaimed,
AT present there are several wells in
the vicinity of Walla Walla, the prin
cipal one being located on the Blalock
fruit ranch. One of these flowing
wells is gusher and has capacity
of irrigating 500 acres of land.
The acquisition of artesian water
would mean great deal for Athena
and vicinity. In the event of striking
gusher, pressure would be sufficient
to force water into the reservoir. with
out the expensive use of machinery.
Should the company strike moderate
flow. the city would be justified in
sinking a well at the head of the
water system with the object of turn
ing water into the reservoir by means
of gravitation.
