WELLS FOR
Teat Well Hear Hereford Attracts
Wide-Spread Attention—Gives
Big Flow of Water.
Last week a short notice of the
McDonald weil south of town was
i given but a full and complete history
of the well and two snap shot views
are given this week for D. Thomas'
sake.
The first view shows the water
flowing from the weir box, (a box
for measuring the flow) and the
stream measures 2 feet wide and
about 4 inches deep. The second
view shows the end of the 6 inch
discharge pipe and sluice of water
flowing from it into the box.
The well is 130 feet deep. A pit
6 feet in diameter was put down 26
feet to the "water level," that is to
say where they first "struck water."
From that point down 104 feet a 14
inch hole was sunk by means of the
ordinary drill. Into this a 13 inch
casing, perforated its entire length,
was dropped. A No. 6 American
Centrifugal pump was placed at the
bottom of the pit with an 8 inch
suction pipe 40 feet long into the
water. A discharge pipe 34 feet
long lead from the pump to the weir
box.
This well has been pumped two
or three times but the "cave in" of
quick sand interfered with the flow
About a carload of sand has been
pumped out. Last Monday week,
however a 40 H-P engine was at-
tached and a splendid test made.
Beginning at 12 30 Monday and
running an average of 7 hours per
day, the pumping was continued un-
til Thursday at 4 o'clock. The dis-
charge of water varied from 500 to
800 gallons per minute and a regu-
lar spring branch ran off down the
ditch. During the time a number
of town's people went out to see the
well and all were convinced that
Hereford had plenty of water.
This well is located on the N. W.
quarter of section No. 86, Block
M-7,Deaf Smith County, 2 miles
south and 1 mile east of town. Mr.
McDonald is preparing to irrigate
about 120 acres of oats and 10 acres
of Irish potatoes. A main ditch
about 1-2 mile long has been con-
structed and laterals will be made
at once. A 50 H-P gasoline engine
will be attached to the pump and
the pump and well fixed up in good
shape.
Ralph Joss Goes to Kansas City
Ralph L. Joss formerly of the J
F. Joss Lumber Co. of this place
left Sunday aftetooon for Kansas
City, Mo. via Fort Worth and Den-
ton, Texas. It is the intention of
Mr. Joss after an investigation of
the lumber business advantages at
that place to locate perminently.
During the year of his residence
in Hereford he made a host of
friends and was popular in both bus-
iness and society circles. His many
friends regret the departure of this
worty young man and their heartiest
wishes for much continued succesi
follow him to the new home.

COURT HOUSE
ARCHITECT WIS
Splendid Modern Structure for
County Capital Shown Oa
Blue Prima.
Walter Chamberlin, architect,
who secured the contract for draw-
ing plans for the new courthouse
was here this week and laid before
the county officials a complete set of
plans. The prints show that Deaf
County will have the most modern
capitol building in this section of the
state.
The court was in session two or
three days looking over the plans
and making criticisms, asking for a
few changes in the floor plans which
would add to the convenience of the
courts and the people. These
changes will be made and a final
approval given.
