In 1805 or 1866, during C. W. Kendall's term in congress from Nevada, he introduced a bill to encourage the boring of artesian wells by giving grants of public lands to these who succeed in getting flowing water on the deserts.

Since the idea suggested by him has been embodied in an Act of Congress making au appropriation for boring artesian wells gal Tiger, and. having seen many spec The exercises to-day will be varied on exhibition, we were just in time to List of Letters imens, know that you have not exag itness the foot race between Eugene The display of ores and minerals was far from complete, inasmuch as cases in which the lower Hills con-tribuiious are to be placed, and the contributions.did not reach the building until last evening.
