ARTESIAN WELL
UNRESTRAINED
Well in Valley is Running Wild With
No Effort to Secure its Control
By Owner.

In spite of the law which reads that
all artesian streams shall be held un-
der head from the months Of Octo-
Der until April. the well on the prop
erty of Joe Coomba, west of the
city, Is said to be flowing in steady
stream from the casing and no attempt
has been made to check this extrav-
agant waste of water. Although it is
used for irrigating purposes, the fact
remains that great deal of the flow
must necessarily be wasted and this
wilful misuse of water is soon to be
investigated by the proper authori-
ties
When the wells in the vicinity of the
Blalock fruit farm were struck, the
artesian flow at Spofford station, six
miles south of the city was stopped
and from that time has been totally
dry. 1t is thought by those who have
studied the subject that this was
caused in part by the steady stream
flowing unchecked on the COLOMBIA
ranch and an attempt will be made
at once, on the part of the residents
of that district to stop it,.

of the entire farmer body behind it,
+b;s will soon be established and when
once in operation, the people living
in the country will have place to
rest instead of being forced to walk
the streets all day.
Final arrangements will also be
made concerning the reception of the
demonstration train to be run into
this city on March % and for this pur-
nose a committee will be appointed
this afternoon to complete the details.
It is expected that the farmers will
march to the depot in a body as this
is considered the best way to have all
present at the right time.

MYSTERIOUSLY
LEAVES HER ROOMS
Inhabitant of the Underworld Has Gone
From Her Apartments and
Cannot Be Found.

Nellie Risdon, one Of the inhabitants
of the demi world has been absent
from her rooms in the Idle Hour for
over week and though search has
been made by the authorities of the
city. no trace of her can be discovered.
The woman is addicted to the ex-
cessive use of dope and this fact
connected with her mysterious disap-
pearance lends color to the belief that
she has met with foul play. She has
been seen frequently under the infiu-
ence of the drug and it is supposed
that while on one of her regular de-
bauches, she became entangled in a
mix-up of some sort and has been
quietly put out of the way.
Nothing has been touched in her
rooms and her clothes and even her
hat are just as she left.
Guy Risdon. her husband, is serving
a sentence in the state penitentiary.

MERCHANTS PROTEST
AGAINST TAXATION
Think the New Tax On Tea and COT
fee Would Be Unjust to American
Industry.

Because the large importing COM
Germ known as the Brazilian valoriza- :
ton scheme is trying TO fix an import
duty of 10 per cent on tea and a tax
of from three to five per cent on cof-
fee. the National Coffee and Tea asso-
citation is sending petitions to the va
rious dealers of these commodities
throughout the United States, asking
that all unite in stamping out this I'M
just taxation.
Letters pertaining to this have been
received by Henry Stinberg, secretary
of the Merchants Retail association of
this city, 10 that effect and at the last
meeting of that body the pt.itiJn was
presented to the members, which when
signed by all the grocers of the city
will be sent to the congressman from
this district at Washington, D. c.
It is not the idea of the merchants
of this city to sit idly. by and see
foreign concern do as they please w tn
the imports TO this country and this
movement will be fought by the united
efforts of all who deal in tea, coffee
and spices.

CUT WHEAT LAND INTO
SMALL ORCHARD TRACTS

One of the most substantial gains in
acreage of Walla Wallar valley fruit
lands will be shown in 1910, when D.
w Langdon of the Green Investment
company, who yesterday purchased
40 acres from Braden brothers, will
plant the entire tract to fruit trees,
mainly different varieties of apples.
The land which has heretofore been
used in wheat production, Will now
be turned into orchards and Mr..
Langdon plans to have the trees plant
ed in time to secure a big crop at the
earliest possible time.
The present season recorded a big
gain in fruit acreage on this section
of the state. but with the planting
of the immense orchard by Mr.. Lang
don the apple industry in this valley
will receive an added impetus and the
production. both in quality and guam
tity will take first place in the rank
of the industry in the west

HUNTS RETURN FROM
EXTENDED JOURNEY
Ex- Mayor and His Wife Back From
Visit to HonoIulu-Greatly Pleased
With Climate.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Hunt, who have
been absent from the city for about
six weeks on a pleasure trip to south
ern California and across the ocean to
honolulu, returned yesterday from
$rhat they term an excellent journey"
When asked regarding the trip. Mr..
Hunt said:
After spending two days in lower
California, we proceeded to San Fran
cisco where we engaged passage to
Honolulu on the steamer Mongolia. AS
the distance to that place is about
200 miles it took us six days to make
the journey, which was delightful in
every particular. We remained in the
islands two weeks, returning to San
Francisco on the steamer Siberia"
Mr.. Hunt is greatly pleased with the
delightful climate of Honolulu and the
hospitality of the people. The CHI
mate is perpetual summer, the tenn
perature varying only 10 degrees dur
ing the year and the lowest registered
is 65 degrees. The population is $1,000
with 10000 white people. The majority
of the people are Malays, Chinese and
Japs. The land is very productive,
sugar cane and pineapple culture being
the principal industries. According to
Mr. Hunt, Americans own and con-
troll all the large business concerns.
When asked concerning the schools
and churches, Mr.. Hunt said: ''The
churches and schools are excellent and
conducted according to American
plans. The harbor," he said, lis not
so large, but is one of the best on the
Pacific ocean. One of the most inter-
esting sights is to see the natives div
ing from the high masts of vessels into
the clear water for coins, tossed in
the water by excursionists."
The hotel accommodations are good
and rates reasonable and they were
~ delighted with the trip in every way, is
Mr.. Hunts version.
