able discovery. Mr.. wilson greeted
us with warm GRIP and the smllc
that won't come Off an index OF his
kindly and optimistic makup. He
gave us every particular relative 10
the great discovery he had made
and also told OF the capacity OF his
powerful pumping outfit which was
then running at full blast. he then
took us down into the well In order
that We might see the source of the
water supply. His we'll is rs n.

from n conservative viswpoint that

water Ia OF the purest quality.
As I looked upon this gold mine
and thought of its possible dupiica-
tion upon hundreds OF dry. land
homesteads through this vailey
which are now barren and deserted
l thought thatit might prove To be
an epoch In the history OF this Great
Harney Valley with its vast acreage,
the soil OF which contains all the
constituents OF richness and fer
tility only awaiting tho application
of the life giving water which doubt
less is hidden beneath the surface
ready for the combined power Of
labor and capital to develop II.
Then thought OF the debt OF
gratitude We owe such as Charley
Wilson who In spite OF all the OBJ
stacies and Acknowledgements with
which they have met and contend
with stili plod on until the goal In
reached ! say all honor to such men.
In conclusion ! wish to say tha,
Mr.. Wilson will welcome everyone
who is Interested In the development
OF the dry land OF this valley to look
over his plant and water supply IN
order that II may be an incentive 10
others TO prospect for water.

NOT QUITE SO CHEAP

Chas. Wilson was In town tho
other day and when asked as to the
cost of operating his pumping plant
for irrigation he stated II was about
SO cents an hour-and that was put
ting IL the extreme limit. Mr.. Wilson
is sure It does not cost him TO exceed
that amount for fuel, oil and inci-
dentals and that one might consider
that adequate for an acre of land.
