WATER IS FOUND
ON RANCH OF MARLETTE
(From Sundays Daily.)

The section out toward VI. Hughes
ranch on the American Ranch road is
fast springing into prominence and
will soon be settled up by n thriving,
happy community of farming people.
X. +. Marlette a recent settler, who
came from California last August and
took up ranch adjoining the Hughes
ranch is showing proper industry. He
has his ranch all fenced and much Of
il plowed and some winter wheat in
the ground.
But. the biggest thing for him is
that he has just been lucky enough
TO bring in well Of fine, soft water
az a depth Of las feet, and on apply
ing a pump was unable 20 empty the
well. The lowest that the water could
be drained was 20 within fourteen
feet Of the bottom and he feels that
he. has a supply that is ample for
stock and some irrigation, and will
install at once q three-inch pump.
The well was drilled six inches in
diameter and the formation is such
that il did not have TO be cased.
Three set.ups were made by the
driller, the first two being failures
on account of striking hard, mala-
pals formation which he was unable
with his equipment to penetrate The
third one however, was success. The
formation passed through, being 80
feet Of deeomposed granite, and then
a layer Of twenty feet, Of malapais,
followed by a stratified formation
into the water bearing ground. Mr..
MarIette thinks that by digging a
large sized well and installing a big
pumping plant that all the water
needed for irrigation in that section
can be had for 1850 acres TO each well:
According to this gentleman, all
crops that were properly taken care
Of in his section last season, made
good yields. He sees great future
FOR this section, and feels that IT
will not be long until there are many
settlers rear him.

Miss r. Evans, an English lady,
who, in the short course Of her career,
has Travelled extensively over four
continents, and who is at present in
charge Of the Fair Oaks school. has
evolved scheme which should en-.
gage the interest Of every thinking

scheme can be inaugurated, in the

tions 70 be gathered by churches, the
National Red Cross Society, hospitals
and different public societies in each
city. town and village Of the Union
The collection Of this fund could
most comprehensively and easily be
made on a certain day or days, TO be
set apart by proclamation of the pres.
ident, say on Thanksgiving Of Christ

Of Commerce yesterday, Miss Evans
gave some OF the details of the plan:

from Sundays Daily,


While in the city yesterday from
Ferguson valley, +. W. stephens gave
an interesting review Of land and
range conditions in that country as
well rs in the western portion of the
county. Inquiries were being received
by many cattlemen for feeders from
outside purchasers, but the only avail
able supply Of range stock is among
the yearling steers and cows, all
matured stock having been sold last
year.
He says that very few animals are
10 be found for market, and the pre-.
vailing price is high in consequence,
exceeding all expectations. Mr.. Ste
phens also imparts the important In.
formation that the small stockgrower
is gradually going out Of business and
tha0 interests are being absorbed by
large concerns, which In the next few
years will control the source of supply.
In farming, the outlook is satisfac-
tory, many land owners being indus
triousiy engaged in blowing TO plant
10 grains, with wheat as a leader.
The acreage this year will be greater
than ever before, and with the SOW.
ing Of other grain later in the season,
agricultural conditions should afford
