Going After Artesian Water

The last issue of the Maybell Gaz-
ette reports:
at has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt within the past two weeks that
there exists in the Temple canon and
Dry lakes district great underground
flow of water, and that it will re-
quire only depth of several humid
red feet to get artesian water that
will flow in large streams. Well
drillers who have been operating
in that locality for some time have
succeeded in getting plenty of water
at depths ranging from sixty to one
hundred feet. At the NJ. b. Martin
ranch several miles south Of Maybell
water was struck at depth of sixty
three feet and there is now over fifty
feet of water in the hole. At the
Arnold ranch in the same locality
water was reached at one hundred
and twelve feet and is now within n
few feet of the surface.
ut Is the opinion of Wallace &
Bridges, the well drillers operating
there, that artesian wells driven from
four to six hundred and feet would
produce water for irrigation, as they
believe large sheet of water lies un-
derground at that depth. The for
nation drilled through so far has
been nothing but an occasional vein
or ledge of sandrock. Many are of
the opinion that bedrock will be
found at a depth of several hundred
feet, as water found in such enormous
volume SO near the surface would in
dictate this to be q fact. and that it
will only require depth to make a
steady flow possible.
'Dave Morgan, one of the prosper
GUS ranchmen Of the Dry lakes dis
trict, is figuring on driving a well on
his ranch, and is of the opinion that
four to six hundred feet depth will
tap the main body of water that is
believed to exist>there, which would
furnish flow larg enough to make
irrigat ion possible.

The Gains Of This Political Year

Candidates will come and go, and
parties will rise and fall with the de-
cades or the centuries, but the polit-
ical life Of the people must go on,
and theig. Government nsast live and
serve the ends Of common justice and
! the general welfare. This struggle OF
1912 is chiefly significant because OF
it's relation to the great perennial
movement for the bettermeDt of hu-
man conditions through the improve
ment of the organs and instruments
of government. Whatever may have
been the exact outcome Of the Chi
cago and Baltimore conventions,
there will be permanet gain to the
people of the United States by rea-
son of the struggles of 1912. In some
OF the States, the new primary laws
have been imperfectly drafted. They
can be greatly improved. 1t costs a
good deal of money to operate these
primary systems, and there are still
seine people who prefer to have our
political arrangements made for us
quietly by little groups of interested
gentlemen conspiring, in secret. But
the people of the country will not be
Induced to return to such methods.
The President of the United States
is no longer modest executive offic-
ial, obeying the Constitution and see
ing that the laws are enforced. He
has become an arrogant ruler, exer-
cising power In more personal way
and with more profound effects than
any other ruler on earth whether
czar, sultan, emperor, king, president
or prime minister. The people will
no longer be content merely to choose
in November between two candi-
dates. one called Republican" and
the other Democratic" - selected
for them by hidden forces having in
terests of their own to be served.
The people will insist upon having
a part in the earlier selection of
the candidates, as we'll, as In the
later and final election of the
President himself. We have grad
ually come under q personal govern
ment; and since this means much to
the people, they will insist upon Sc
lecting their ruler.-From progress

views for July.

The Finest Wheat

The last issue of the Glenwood
Avalanche has the following to say
of White river wheat:
"Some OF the finest wheat ever
raised in Colorado was that produced
by the Meeker farmers the past sea-
son and the local flour mill has just
received some It's, coo lbs and will re-
ceive several thousond more pounds
Immediately. The wheat is pronounce
ed the finest ever raised in the state
and means tire flour to be turned out
at the local mill will be par excell-
ence. Enough wheat will be on
hands to run the mill throughout the
summer season."
tThe above mentioned wheat was
raised on the Bloomfield, Clark,
Green and Kisinger dry farmers, on
Little Beaver, and there is lots more
of the same grade of wheat in the
White River valley-Ed HEARLDl
