stratum, will be without water. This
condition will certainly not be brought
about for a number of years to come,
and in such case the person owning
such a well can simply extend the
same down to other strata as cOndi-
lions demand.
Most of the wells in operation in the
Mimbres valley at the present time tap
from three to 10 strata in the first l5O
feet thus depending upon a small
screen area in a number of strata The
wells of John Humid, Shull Bros, G. +.
Hicks, +. Z. Burdick, A L. Taylor and
several others, have only nine and
five-eighths casing extending down
into the lower strata of water bearing
material The later wells, while not
going to extremes, are larger in dia-
meter. DR.. = X Connaway's well which
was put down last spring, is &c inches

inches in diameter from 20 to 50 feet,
and is then reduced to u inches and
continued down to the 10 foot level.
Case Bros well east of DeminS is also
a well of this general type.
The Well Near HOndnIe.
Last spring one well near HOndale
was put down as follows; A six foot
pit was first dug 80 feet deep. Then a
five foot hole was bored with an auger
outfit through a live stratum of sand
and gravel, and a screen Of this size
inserted in the stratum. The well was
then reduced to % inches, and Is feet
of perforated casing of this size was
inserted. The total depth of the well
is 80 feet, 16 inch casing completing
the we'll It will be noted that there
is a little more than 80 feet of screen
surface in the seven and a half foot
stratum, that there is about so square
feet of screened surface in the second
stratum, and 30 square feet in the
third, making total screened surface
in the well of So square feet.
This well is extreme. John Humid who
intends putting down another irriga-
ton well this fall states that he be-
leves in irrigation wells of larger di-
ameter, and that he intends making
his new well at least p inches in di-
ameter to a depth of 100 feet, possibly
reducing at that point. This allows an
ordinary centrifugal pump to be sub
merged 40 to so feet under the water
level which is a distinct advantage.
Real Supply Not Tapped.
". ". Bramlette. a well man of wide
experience in California. after investi-
eating this valley for several days,
stated that he believed the real water
supply of the valley had not been as
yet tapped. He declared that the real
water lay very much below $50 feet,
and he is of the opinion that in the
future eight and nine hundred foot
wells will be common in this valley.
Most of the strata encountered below
$50 feet, said Mr. Bramlette. will have
sufficient artesian pressure to push the
water up within a comparatively short
distance from the surface.
The observations of Mr.. Bramlette
are in line with experiments made in
this valley from time to time for ar

shallower wells which pUncture only
the upper strata. In the Pomona pump
ing district of California, 70 instance
the water level varies during the
pumping season. as much as 80 feet.
There il is imperative to put a well
down eight or nine hundred feet in
order to pick up enough subterranean
strata to furnish the well throughout
the pumping season.
Second Stratum Never Fails.
While the water level of a first
stratum well in the AIimbres valley has
been known to vary in a period OF
years as much as 10 feet, the second
stratum encountered here has never
been known to be without water, and
other lower strata have, of course, been
unaffected. What the effect on the up
per strata will be when the valley is
entirely under irrigation, no one can
tell. It is quite likely that the first
stratum viii be appreciably affected at
the end of a long pumping season. In
such a case the well depending upon

He seemed to have much bad luck. At
a depth of 250 feet, the drill was
broken off in a cottonwood log. An
other hole was started and it was put
down to a depth zoo or 500 feet, when
more bad luck and a shortage of funds
compelled him to abandon the attempt.
This attempt demonstrated, however,
that various strata of water bearing
material occurred between the ordi-
nary upper strata of water and the 500
foot level. and that the soil was allu-
vial to at least that depth
Deepest We'll in Valley.
Z. Z. Burdick later put down the
deepest well in the valley about eight
miles southeast of Deming, the same
being 1865 feet in depth. He drilled to
bedrock, and found numerous other
water bearing strata as deep as he
sent the drill a number of Ithese
strata have artesian pressure, but not
sufficient to produce a flowing we'll
All of which seems to bear out Mr..
Bramlettes idea that the real water
supply of the valley lies below the $50
foot level.
However, until it becomes necessary
to sink to these lower strata, the type
of Wei suggested by Mr.. Humid will
obtain preference in the valley.

difference of opinion among well
= men of this valley as to whether a
comparatively small well tapping sew
eral strata of water bearing material
is better than a much larger well which
taps a less number of strata 1t IS evil
dent that the larger the well, the more
strainer surface there will be, and,
hence more water is allowed to come
in from any given stratum. But it is
also true that any given stratum can
furnish just so much water no matter
how great the screen surface inserted
in it.
Again in many pumping districts out
side of the Mimbres valley, the water
level varies as much as a hundred feet
during the pumping season. In other
words, the shallow strata may be sur
charged with water at the beginning of
the pumping season, whereas at the
close of the season they may be as dry
as dust bins. In such district the

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW,

The direct primary law passed by ;
Republican Legislature and wisely
amended by the succeeding Legisla-
ture, has placed in the hands of the
people the nomination of all State and
County officers. Further amendments
to this law will from time to time be-
come necessary, and such desirable
amendments as experience may sug-
gest we pledge the party to enact We
declare at the present time that this
law should be so amended as to require
each voter at the time of registration
to declare his party affiliations to the
end that voting of the primary ticket
of one party by members of any other
party may be prevented Such an
amendment was passed by the last Re-
publican Legislature and we denounce
as petty, party politics the act of the
Democratic Governor of this State in
vetoing it. We condemn the Demo-
cratic party of this State for it's at
tempt to nullify the provisions of the
Direct Primary Law by fixing up
states" of candidates for the various
offices, State and County, and pre-
venting more than one candidate from
filing for each office, in order that
of the Democratic party may
help nominate Republican candidates
at the primary election.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

Our system of public educational in
situations should be the first concern
,of the people of the State. We therefore
pledge the Republican party OF this
State to maintain the integrity of these
Institutions. and to support each OF
them in maintenance in growth as far
as the finances of the State will allow
recognizing that on the growth and de-
Velopment OF these institutions depends
the upbuilding of the moral and intel
lectual welfare of the youth of Idaho.
And to this end we urge the Legisla-
ture to take up and pass the aDpropria-
ton bills for all educational and char
table institutions rs soon after con-
y ening as possible, aud before the other
work of the Legislature shall be taken
up.

RATIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL
PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES..

| The Republican party of Idaho here
by reaffirms its unfaltering allegiance
to the principles of the Republican
party as exemplified in the splendid
| administrations of Presidents McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft We ratify and
endorse the nominations made by our
National Convention at Chicago for
| President and Vice President, and the
progressive and constructive platform
If principles there adopted. While rec
ogDizing that there existed honest diff
i ferences of opinion concerning the
choice of candidates, we feel that the
best interests of our State require the
continuance in power of Republican
| National Administration. In this be-
lief, and with confidence in the result,
we pledge to each other and to Repub-
licans everywhere our earnest, ener-
getic and loyal support of William H.
Taft for President, and James S. Sher-
man for Vice President. President
Taft has been a firm and consistent
friend of the West, and particularly of
the State of Idaho, as is shown by his
attitude toward such purely Western
questions as the Borah-Jones three
year homestead bill, the various recla-
nation acts, the restoring to public en-
try of large areas of agricultural land
enormously supposed to be chiefly
mineral in character, and particularly
by his order restoring to the State of
Idaho 100000 acres of its public school
lands which had been included within
forest reserves and of whose use the
State had been unjustly deprived.

ENDORSEMENT OF CONGRESSION-

We heartily endorse the effort made
by the Republican members in Con-
gress to secure constructive RepuDli-
can legislation, and to prevent the en-
actment into law of destructive Demo-
cratic policies and we commend to the
people of Idaho such able assistance as
has been rendered in this convention
by our delegation in Congress, Sena-
tors Hepburn and Borah and Repre-
sentative French. We especially COM
mend to the voters of Idaho the bril-
liant and constructive craftsmanship
shown by Senator Borah as evidenced
by his successful advocacy of such
important questions as the three-year
homestead bill the direct election of
senators and his work for the estab-
lishment of bureau of child labor,
and the enactment of other progressive
Republican measures.

OF REVENUE LAWS

We regret and deplore the unwise
policy of the Democratic Governor of
this State in inaugurating and insist
ing upon full cash value taxation of
property in the year 1911, before the
necessary changes in our fixed levies.
based upon lower valuation, could be
made, thus causing all the taxpayers
and particularly those of the farming
class, to pay largely increased and I'M
necessary taxes. The present reve
nue. law, while being an improvement
in some particulars over the old law, is
still far from being solution of the
tax problem, and we pledge the Repub-
lican party to further legislation to
correct existing evils.

agency has succeeded in weaving.
Remember that President Taft has
been forced to pardon at least two
men convicted of land frauds in Ore
gon. not only by the evidence furnished
by VIM. j. Burns, but by the jury fur

So anxious was Burns to convict

from hand-pcked jury for the pur-

case there was q big reward in it for
Burns: also aside from that he was |
working for the Erector's association |

1t is evident that Burns does not
work for justice sake, else we would
