Artesian Water Quest Continues Near Harney Oregon
Burns Oregon July 6 artesian well being sunk on H M Horton place seven miles east of the city by Smith Swain reaches 604 feet with good prospect of a flow. Horton orders casing for a 1000 foot well and aims for a test top artesian water. Previous county drill near here found water at 800 feet but was damaged by dynamite. Many attempts for artesian water failed at 200 400 feet. Harney valley is a great artesian basin but water is deep and costly to obtain, leaving poor landowners unable to secure supply.

Butter Reaches Highest Point In Five Years
Portland reports local wholesale butter at 28 cents a pound, a rise of one and a half cents, the highest for this season in five years. Buttermakers attribute the increase to reduced cream output from dry May and June, strong demand, and population growth. Last year’s standard city creamery butter sold at 20 cents, while 1905 and 1906 figures reached 2 1/2 cents, with prices under the present level.
