OID ARTfS|AN WELL NEAR
SAND SPRINGS NOW Open
Rored by Engineers of Geological
Survey Years Ago and Blocked
With Shifting Sands.

Several years ago few wells were
bored in various sections of Nevada
To prospect for an artesian water
supply, among them being one on
Seven Mile Flat. about "a miles east
of Fallon on the Lincoln Highway.
Not being properly protected this
particular well became blocked and
covered deep with sand. 1t is said
the well Is 300 feet deep and the
quality of water was pure and pal
atable.
Recently the Savage Tire Co, has
undertaken certain improvements
to the highway In this section and
employed w. K Maull, the veteran
prospector to investigate the water
supply possibilities, and take the
necessary steps to secure IL. A few
days ago, while digging at a likely
spot a board was encountered at a
depth of about three feet, and fur
tier probing uncovered the casing
of the long inactive we'll above re-
ferred to. A little excavation un-
earthed the mouth of the bore and
the water flowed freely into the shall
low pit dug about il. So the ques-
ton of a water supply is settled, SO
far as the capacity of this one well
can solve the problem, and the depth
necessary to secure more II needed
is defined. Men and teams are now
on the ground to begin work on the
highway improvement.

SHAME!

Delegate Wickersham hardly got away from the Alaska coast before he began his customary cam pagn of abuse and falsehood. He charges that Sen ator Sulzer's campaign expenses are being paid by the "fisb trust" that the miners union at Sulzer consists of two men. the local postmaster and Sul gers clerk He told an audience that the Territorial Legislature has ample authority to pass school laws
 Delegats WIckersham hes got by with numerous campaigns of this sort but in Southeastern Alaska he was more docue. He realized when he reached this Territory this year that the people here have his record. He knew that the voters have become wise to his methods. As result he tried "pussyfooting.
 But it is different now. He thinks ne can tell anything to those of the Interior. and that it will not be possible to get che truth before the people until after election
 The Empire believes tA=. Delegate wckersham is understanding the knowledge and information oi people of the Interior his trade disgusts those people Of the Interior as his tirade will disgust those out here who know the truth
 Why didn't he make his charges against Sulzer while the coast? Why didn't he say while at Juneau that the fish trust" is paying Senator SuI gers expenses3 Why did he say while Ket chkan any other coast town that the miners union at Suzer consisted of two men, the postmaster and a clerk2
 Because he knew that the people knew better and that they would resent it at the polls

 It ought not to be forgotten that everything that Roosevelt is now saying about the superhuman quail ties Of Hughes he said with equal yigor about Taft eight years ago.
 Taft was the one man in the country fitted by experience and temperament to continue "my pot cies. He was a paragon of all the satesmanlike vir- tues and would make record in the Presidential or flee uneQualed since Lincoln.
 Taft was elected and in less than two years the great illusion was shattered.

SENATOR sULzER WAS RIGHT

Because the Circuit Court of Appeals has decided that the Territorial Organic Act permits the Terri torial Legislature to levy additional taxes against the fisheries of Alaska. the Dispatch says Senator Sulzer was "Qubbing" when he said that the Organic Act would not permit the Territory of Alaska to regu- late the fisheries.
 The Territorial Organic Act provides in specific terms that the Territorial Legislature not restricted from levyng taxes the fisheries. It also provides that the Territorial Legislature cannot repeal or amend the Federal laws relating to the fisheries The recent decision of the United States Circuit Court Appeals has nothing do with the matter at a except to hold that the specific provision chat the Territorial Legisla is restricted from leyyng additional taxes on the fisheries is legal and that therefore taxes so levied are lawful.
 The Organic Act provides in specific terms that the Territorial Legislature cannot repeal amend the fisheries laws on the statute books. Senator su said that it would be impossible to enact regu- latiye measures without amending or repeating some part of the laws the statute books. Anyone who knows anything about the subject knows that is
 This provision in the Organic Act was placed there through an amendment offered by Representative Mann. Of Chicago. and consented to by Delegate Wick ersham.

 Residents of Seattle will be particularly interested in the announcement that greater attention would be paid to the campaigns in Washington.

 However there is a decided friendlness toward Wilson in all these states in part because of a lean ing toward his administrations policies and in part be cause or the appeal that He has kept out of war has with the feminine voting element To a certain de gree this sentiment is supported by a very definite feeling that Hughes has not been sufficiently frank in discussion of his plans, if elected Go office
