When President Wilson Just beforn
retiring from office yesterday, affixed
his signature lo the rtindry civil bill
he put (he finishing touch un a bit of
legislation that means a- largo con
struction enterprise five miles from
Pendleton and an Increased witter sup
ply for the west end of the county.
The McKay reservoir will be located
on McKay creek a nuurler of a mile
aluve the house on the Jones place.
The reservoir will cover 20'JO acres of
land abnyi tho damslte and will reuch
a distance of two and a half miles iii
streem. In the purchase of this land
there will be 12 owners to deal with
and the appraised price of the land to
be purchased Is over i 100,000. The
Holmes place on McKay will be right
In the middle of the reservoir.
It Is the opinion of Project Engineer
Rchilllng nt Hermistori that early In
the summer lie will receive authority
to purchase this land. At the present
time the Denver office Is ut work on
more, detailed estimates as to the cost
tif the project and It Is 'believed no
action will be taken until their find

original estimate on the cost of the

tho government Is very exact and It

money to do more than purchase right
