forcing will be sufficient to serve an
other three to five years.
It. E. Koon, of Stevens ami Koon,
as well us City Manager George Car
lett, pointed out that the pumpiutr
plant and the lining and repair of the
local reservoir would be permanent
improvement aa the reservoir can be
"aire a oart of the Lower Hcaverj
Creek system when that is installed
-tnd under all conditions should a city
located on a river, as La Grande is, I
have a pumping plant ready at nil
times to be put in operation to sup-
ply the city with water in case an
emergency ari.se. The present pump
inif plant is to be scrapped as it has
outlived its usefulness. ' j
.Should lluild l)n in.
Mr. Koon and Mr. Garrett both con
sider the building of the Meadow
Mi "ok dam at this time advisable but
believe that this proposition should be;
put up to the people separately from
the rebuilding? of the present water
sy.tcin. In discussing thq Mcanu.v
Jlronk dam, Mr. Garrett said: "Ul
timately the Lower Heaver creek sup
ply will be a fine thing for La Grande
anil the city should begin building the
new system three years from now i:
it repairs the present system. The
.Meadow Itrook dam could c built to'
goo; advantage this winter and once!
this dam is built should an emergency
.....1. iiniru 111 i;.i;, me ci'.yi
would be protected. If the river is!
low anil the pumping plant is pressed
into service unless the city has stored
water to release it cannot nunin out
of the river without risking trouble
from fanners because of their water
rights being endangered. The .Mea
dow llrook 1:11m will impound suffi
cient water to overcome this.''
Dam Cost Low Now.
Mr. Koon believes that this is a
very good time to huild this ihilil and
predicted that in two or three years i
the cost of building it wotild prob
ably be no lower, lie said: "The work
of cutting the logs this winter can
be nunc much cheaper than in thoj
spring and besides, as Commissioner
(Stoddard pointed out, there will be
many idle men this winter according
to present indications. Winter cut
logs have ut least ten years more life
than those cut in spring and if we
o't that work this winter and build
the dam in spring the city will not:
only protect i s water supply, during
the time the old system serves th"
city as well as later when the Lower
Heaver creek system is constructed,'
but it will do something towards
kifrping local men from suffering from!
want of work."
The cost of the Meadow Brook dnm
is estimated in the report of Mr. Koi.n
is $41,01)11, but after talking over!
some of the details with city officials!
lust night, Mr Koon decided that it.
might possibly co.-t more as in the
opinion of Commission Stoddard
stumpage was figured at ahmit five
cents a thousand feet less than it
should have been nt this time. This
.would bring the cost to nbout 15,(1110,'
although it is possible that other pric
es entering into the estimate might
el nnge and compensate, for the sti:inp-'
age discrepancy. In addition, the
Meadow llrook holdings mu.it bo ac
ipiircd which will cost probably Sf'J.Vi

can be secured .fur considcrably'loss.l

In ci-nnortion with the elee Ion'
amending the charier to be held Tues-
day, the commission was unanimous
in favoring ratification of the import-,

voters of that time. If the amend-1
ment increasing the bonded iiuhbtei,'
ness limit of the ci'y from ten to fif.j
teen per cent is not voted on favorab
ly it will mean another electiull when
the Lower Heaver Creek system is
decided on, which will lie an lidded ex
pense in tlie opinion of the coniinis-i
sion.
The amendment increasing the in-,
lores' mi bunds to sys per cent shoui I
M.-o be voted oil favorably by th,. el
ectors, according ( 110 opinion of th'
commissioners as the sale uf bunds,
would otherwise be handicapped at ,
times. j
Improvement Ponds.
Another amendment which the coin.
missicnors discussed last night was
that making street improvements a
direct ubligalion of the city. At pr(v.
out it costs approximately IS percent
more to dii the work than would be
HO sjlilc llnilfl lb,. m.,.. lw.., ..I
and as it is impossible to sell the bunds
iiiuler present cunditi"ii improvement 1
work is practically impossible. If th',:
amen, Imeot is not passed work which
the Ksideuts want dune and which!
the city is willing to , cannot be I
done and if will also mean that mc:i I
v no would otherwis,. be employed will'
be out of work. ' .
"We felt that (he people don't wa it
the expense that the new system1
would mean at this time and that lie
cause we have managed to get by 'i;r-i
ing the past two years the old i v-t.-m
could be made to du another two yars

inis-ion in irgard to such a great ex-l
pciidituie at this time. !

To the Kditur: I have read with a
irreat deal of interest "the first epistle
of John" which appeared in a recent
Issue of the Dlmei-ver. I deny that
I was influenced hy tiny personal
motives in writing the (-nnmunication.
If any other atturney of the liar of
this county had cu'en out an inter
view coniainine only Karhled state
ments of the evidence upon which a
nirv in mv court convicted a defend-
! lint in a criminal action, 1 would have
oecnfounii defendnjr the jury. Such
siaieiiieois canno( neip (MIL reueci
upon the jury. I also deny that under
the present law that "insufficiency of
evidence to support the verdict" is
any ground for appeal to the Supreme
Court. The lejral voters of this state
at an election held in Itlll) wisely
adopted an amendment to the consti
tution of this stale providing asj fo!-
lawi-: ."In actions ut law where, thai
Value., in ; controversy . shall civi'eeo.';
twenty dollars, the lipht of tri.dj lai
jury shall he preserved, and no ,'1 act
tric(Miy it jury ahall he .otherwises re
examined in any court of this stale
unless Iheotirt can affirmatively ay
there is no evidence to support the
verdict provided that nothing in ttiis!
section snail be construed to author-'
i.e the Supreme Court to film the de-l
fendant in a criminal case guilty of
i, ,i uf finisn frc which u irrimter nenaMvl
is provided than that of which the ac-j
cused was convicted in the low.tr
court." In the case of Slate vs.' Mtl
Ierson, till Ore. :!SI, and many other!
cases the Supreme Court of thi : state
has held that the above constitutional I
provision is applicable to criminal
actions. Under the above provision of j
our state constitution hoih the triall
and Supreme Courts are prohibited j
from scttiiiR asiae the verdict of a!
jury on account of insufficiency of
evidence where there is any evidence j
whatsoever to support the verdict, an li
a convicted defendant in this state ha
no more show to rcvei-se the convic-j
tion upon appeal to the Supremrj
Court than "a celluloid cat has t.,
catch an asbestos rat i Hades.
the Keelen and poolcy eases me rtv.
verscu upon appeal, it will not he nh
account of the insufficiency of the evi
dence to ju.stify the verdict but on of
count or errors ma(le by myself ii
the trial of the cases. To my mitnl
there is a very close legal question
involved in these cases and that I:
whether under the evidence the de
fendants, if Ktiilty of anything, are
not guilty of larceny hy bailee inslean'
of simnlo larcenv. as couviciml u,.l
.should nut have been indictee,' and tried
ior larceny ny nance.
"dr. Ilodgin in his euniinunicalion
says, "We have at least six members
of the Union County liar who nrS
limuyg the best trial lawyers in the
sate, of which I am proud." It wits
very generous in Mr. Il odgin to make
this statement and' I heartily agree
with him. Indeed the Union County
ar is considered one of the strongest
in thr state. AW have several at
torneys who arc known throughout
the state for their legal ability. Mr.
Ilodgin should have made his -dure-ment
more definite and certain, how
ever, and .-tatcu who the other fiva
are besides himself whom he consider-;
should be numbered among the choen
six.
