From One Grain Of Wheat.
The Valerian.

Ane NAlerldn.
Almost q year ago while in Waller
Bro. Van Orsdel in conversation with
The Valerian man told of an expert
ment undertaken by James King of the
Kibby Bench through the medium Of q
solitary grain of wheat. The facts as
recorded at that time we're to the effect
that the previous spring Mr.. King
planted the grain of wheat and in the
fall the single kernel brought forth 4S
heads, averaging 62 grains to the
head, Of q total of 2.976 grains.
Bro. Van is in Waller today and
tells US that the 1915 grains we're
planted last spring and that as q re-.
suit Mr.. King secured q large sheaf
and threshed the remainder, which
measured three quarts. It was Mr..
Kings intention to exhibit the sheaf

the threshed portion to demonstrate

owing to the sickness he was unable
to do so. The outcome of q single

say five years would be q fair crop.

In the United States politics has its

FOUND ARTESIAN FLOW,
Real Gusher Struck BY Driiler On
Miner Ranch.

Real Gusher Struck BY DriIler On
Miner Ranch.
The existence of underground
streams of water in the countr
south Of this city has again been
demonstrated by the discovery of q
genuine artesian gusher at the Miner
ranch last week. This demonstration
is Of more than ordinary interest to
the residents Of that locality and the
adjacent country, the probability of
further developments along that line
suggesting IN immense and inexhaus.
tible water supply for irrigation and
other purposes that will contribute to
the welfare Of the community.
In the news columns of the River
Press Of about . month ago there was
. brief story of . new artesian we'll at
the ranch Of the Northwestern Live.
stock company. The srtesiau flow
was struck at . depth of about liz
feet, and BY conining the stream to q
pipe smaller than the casing the pres
ure was sufficient to force the water
to . eighty higher elevation. Al.
other srtesian flow was struck at q
depth of % feet at the Pat Connolly
ranch on the Shonkin, but In each Of
these cases the supply was not more
than sufficient for domestic purposes
and for stock corral and stable use.
The discovery at the Miner ranch,
however, wal OF much larger proper.
tions. MI. Miner had engaged the
services of F. A. Taylor to drill for
artesian water which he believed could
be struck at q moderate depth in that
locality, and this expectation was
justified by most satisfactory results.
A good stand Of water for q pump
we'll was found at q depth OF As feet,
but the drilling was continued dill.
gently until . depth of lao feet had
been reached and suddenly the bottom
seemed to drop out. A stream Of large
volume and force spurted from the
casing-a genuine srtesisn gusher
had been brought into being.
A six.inch pipe had been used for
the casing. and when the water was
forced through q fve-inch pipe 1t threw
q stream of that diameter about three
feet high. If located at a suitable
elev alton, the we'll would furnish sui.
icent water to irrigate the entire
ranch.
MI. Miner believes that . still
stronger and larger Aow q be found
by drilling to q greater depth, and
proposes to test that theory in the
near future. His ranch interests ex.
tend about fifteen miles through the
Big Sag country, all Of which geolo.
gists declare is in the artesian belt,
and Mr.. Miner is considering plans
for . comprehensive irrigating system
from artesian sources that will make
the property one of the most unique
and most valuable in the northwest.

should not be overlooked when the

For several years past Chouteau

The members from Chouteau county
have been citizens of good standing

1t gives the River Press more than

made for state senator from Chouteau
county. Other worthy citizens of Chou

OF Mr.. Everett, applies in an equal de.

Reser gained experience in aft airs O

to act for the best interests of the pub

Mr.. Henry F. Schwartz, the pro
posed republican associate of Mr.
Reser in the house of representatives
