    bharacter of the soil is such that it will hold water for irrigation and requires a relatively small amount of water. Non© of the soil shows any indication of alkali, nor does the analysis of the soil mad® by Prof. Stabler show any such indication. As shown by Well Driller^ logs, the surface soil averages 40 feet in depth, precluding hard pan. The drainage of the entire tract is good, as the land has a gentle slop® from the mountains to the river. (Signed Chester B. Loomis. REPORT ON WELLS IN "ORCHARD VALLEY" Sec. 55 10 N. 3 E. (N.E.Qr.)
