A World representative witnessed a flowing well after Turner purchased canyon land from Conrad Rose. Two drills operate and about six holes exist as a strong mineral water outlet estimated at five acres of flow. Gas accompanies the water and the site draws curious visitors. A free band concert is announced tonight at the theatre.
Editorial notes Rudolph Brand of Chicago denouncing treating in saloons as a major evil that drives involuntary drinking.

Also mentions Gov Mead facing organized opposition and falsifications during his administration.
A brief rate notice states five cents per line for each insertion with five average words per line. Special weekly rates apply for ads running longer durations.
The piece credits Governor Mead with strong reform work and firm actions against graft and lobbying, noting his refusal to hire corrupt officials and his push to curb sheriff graft.
