Begin Gaping New Well.

Mr.. Durand will this morning put q
force of men at the difficult work of
Gaping the new we'll. Because of the
tremendous force it will require great
skill and the heaviest apparatus to
control the flow sufficiently to fit the
pipes to the open casing. As soon as
this work has been accomplished, the
drill will be moved to the Drumheller
ranch and a new we'll begun near Off
der In case this attempt is successful.
a 60-acre tract will be plated into
acreage and placed on the market
with water piped to every sub-divis-
ion. According to Manager Tourte-
lotte the artesian project will be con-
tinued until all of the $4,000 acres
been placed under an admirable sys-
tenn Of warm water irrigation.
Mr.. Durand will leave for Portland
Tuesday to purchase equipment for
new we'll drilling machine which has
been ordered from the east and is
due to arrive in Walla Walla the
first of next month. Expert drillnen
are coming with the machine and i'm
mediately upon their arrival they will
be put to work on a we'll which Mr..
Durand has contracted to drill for the
city of F'reewater.
The new machine is OF a type sim
liar to the one which has been on the
Blalock farm and is equipped to drill
to a depth of $500 feet, while the
one now at Meador park will sink
a 3,000-foot shaft. Mr.. Durand stated
yesterday that in his opinion the deep
well drilling business was only in its
infancy in the Walla Walla valley and
it is his intention to bring more ma
chimes and men into this territory as
the demands require

A SUNDAY MECCA
MANY SlGHTSEERS WENT TO
BlALOCk'S TO SEE NEW
WELLS BIG FLOW.
Fourth Attempt for Artesian Water Is
More Successful Than Any
Former Efforts.
Fourth Attempt for Artesian Water Is

The big artesion well on the Bla-
lock farm was yesterday the big at
traction for the hundreds of Walla
Wallans who felt Ike an excursion in
the warm sunshine, and all day long
the road from Gallagher station was
lined with sight-seers. The flow, which
was secured at $50 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, is maintaining the supply
of 5000 gallons a minute, and is suffi-
Gent to irrigate between 800 and 400
acres of land.
The immense volume of the flow
can be readily appreciated when it il
figured that the we'll gushing 5000 gall
Ions a minute, would in 100 days SUBJ
merge 663 acres to a depth of one
foot
The three other wells on the Blalock
farm range in depth from 535 to 607
feet and the combined flow of the three
does not equal that of the new one.
When asked to account for the great
strength of Saturdays gusher, A. A.
Duran nd, the expert who drilled the
we'll, stated that evidently a better in
let for the hidden streams of the
depths had been found here than in
the other wells.
q am thoroughly convinced"
continued Mr.. Durand that the
Walla Walla valley is under
laid with a subteranean lake which
finds easy egress through a strata
of porous rock which lies beneath the
hard basaltic bed rock The strength
Of the flow in every instance is de-
termined by the openess OF the inlet to
the bottom of the shaft, thus where
the water has an urobstructed pas
sageway the flow is tremendous. The
formation encountered in drilling has
been essentially the same for each
well, except in the Columbo WELL
where we secured a flow at 565 feet
we did not pierce bed rock, but tapped
a crevice before reaching the under
lying porous formation. In the Bur-
lingame we'll at the WalIa Walla river
We are down 610 feet and have had
a very weak flow for some time. Bed
rock here is much deeper and was not
encountered until the shaft had been
sunk $50 feet. The flow was percep-
tibly increased Saturday evening and
without doubt we will have another
gusher here within a few days.

A Fable.

Once Upon d Time there was a
Young Man who met Two Nice Girls,
who were Constantly Together. Now,
be was an Astute Young Man, and he
desired to say Something Pretty and
Agreeab bic to the Ladies, but he knew
thar II he paid Compliment to One
Of them. No Matter which, the Other
would be Hurt.
So he Thought Rapidly for mo-
ment, and then he said:
"Ah, know Why you Two Girls are
Always Together!'
"Why?" asked the Two Girls.
because Everybody says that A
Handsome Girl Always Chooses a
H0mely One as Companion. So That
Her Beauty may be Enhanced by the
Contrast"
After Such a Remark, either Both
Girls would be Angry with him or De
lighted.
And what Do you think Happened?

The Fear of Thirteen.

The fearful grip which this number
thirteen superstition continues to have
upon the hearts of men and women in
all walks Of life is incomprehensible
Yet every intelligent person knows
that nothing in this world can possibly
take place without a cause, and that
the cause must be sufficient to pro-
duce an effect. The most ignorant
person, it would seem, should know
that the arbitrary number, thirteen,
has no more power to produce any
effect to cause any calamity, than a
drop of ink. The fact that the ink or
paint, instead of being in the shape of
a round drop, is put into the form of
the mineral thirteen, does not add
any force or power to it. A drop of
ink or paint on the floor of a hotel
room would have just as much power
to produce harm as it would if formed
into the figure Success Mag

Big Sack of Gold Lost.

Officials of the Federal government
and of the American Express Company
are investigating the mysterious disap-
pearance of 1000 from treasurer sack
sent to Cincinnati from Camp Perry,
o., last week. The money was in gold
and was the surplus after all of the
men of the regular army, navy, marine
corps and militia who are taking part
in the national rifle contests at the
camp were paid off last week.
The gold was sent from Camp Perry
to Cincinnati and thence to Chicago.
When it arrived at the Chicago SUBJ
treasury and was opened it was found
that the gold had been extracted and
that iron pieces of about the same
weight had been substituted, after
which the official seal was restored
so perfectly that it took close investi-
cation to discover that it had been
tempered with.

their motives where these are liable
to misconstruction by captious pub

opinion through statements pictur-
esquely setting forth the merits of the

Uncle Sans Mistake.

There is no reason why the govern
ment should engage in any line of
business that comes into direct co npe-
tltlon with private interests. There is
no more reason why the government
should furnish envelopes with the reg
ular return card printed thereon, prac-
tlcally at cost than it should sell shoes
on the same basis to the consuming
public. The way to discourage this
sort Of business is for the local mer-
chant and business man to buy at
home. Most assuredly he would regis
ter big kick were the government to
go into business in competition with
his line.
