Two obstacles presented them
selves. the city hasn't the funds. so
Il would be necessary To borrow the
money To buy the land; and there
are no options south of Washington

ATHENA NEWS NOTES
SNOW HAS GONE AND
SPRING Is AT HAND
Wheat Is Sprouting and Farmers Are
Happy-s5O.O 900 Land Deal Is Made
-Artesian Well at Depth of 1000
Feet.
Especial Correspondence }


Athena, Ore, March 1.-The snow
has gone and the time of. the singing
birds is here. The big wheat kings
of this vicinity are walking in their
fields and smiling as they behold the
young wheat that has been growing
all the time under the snow and is
now well above the surface of the
ground There has been much fear
among some of the farmers in this
section that they would have TO re-
seed. II will be remembered that the
seeding was done last fall in ground
that was very wet and the winter be-
gan early, thus making conditions
favorable for the wheat to rot. This
section of the country which has suf-
fered more or less for the past two
years for the lack Of moisture, has
had an abundance of rain and snow
and with the wheat already growing
the conditions are extremely favorable
for big crop this year.
A. $4,000 land deal was made here
this week when John Banister. one
of our biggest farmers. purchased the
J. A. Badeley farm. The farm is one
of the best in this section and COM
manded the price of 500 per acre
for the 500 acres. :.
The artesian we'll which is being dug
on the lands of the Athena Land e
Trust company. is now down to a
depth of 1000 feet and has a flow of
water equal TO a little over 1000 GAL
Ions per hour. The flow is not as
good as the company had hoped to
strike but the water is of the very
best quality.
