WATER RESERVOIR NEARLY COMPLETED ON AKINS HILL, 197 FEET ABOVE CITY, GIVING 84 LBS. PRESSURE. Work on the reserve reservoir for the water works U nearing comple tion. It Is located on the high hill east of Residence street, 197 feet above the level at the Enterprise Hotel corner. The altitude was taken by Engineer R. K. Lowry and J. R. Ulen of the American Light & Water company. This will give a maximum pressure of 84 poinds. The reservoir is on land deeded free to the city by T. R. Akins, It is 110 feet long, 60 feet wide and 10 feet deep, and will hold 700,000 gallons. The measurements are for the bottom, the slde3 being sloping. The soil is gravelly and It may be found necessary to cement the res ervoir, which would mean a large additional expense. Superintendent Ulen received a letter Thursday from the pipe factory promising that the entire order of pipe will leave the factory by July If that is done, the entire system will be completed by August 1, says Mr. Ulen. The cement intake at the springs Is finished, all ready to turn the water In as sotra as the system is completed. The overflow will be at the reserve reservoir on Akins hill, which will regulate the pressure down town. For these reasons the executive com mittee has decided to give up the district convention for this year. Fancy Prices for Hogs.

The District Epworth League con vention which was to have been held here June 24-27, has been called off by the district executive committee. The district president of the Epworth League, Mrs. Cates, of Baker City, has been ill and was unable to arrange the program. In addition to this the fact that two other Methodist events, occur soon, the Sunday school con vention at Boise June 18-20, and the International Epworth League con vention at Seattle July 7-12, renders it impracticable to get the speakers or the delegates at the desired time. Insane Woman Is Given Her Land ! Celebrated Union County Tax Title Case Won By Local Attorney. SALEM, June 8. Abundant Justlfl-j cation for the strictness required by I courts In respect to tax sales Is pointed out by Justice McBride of the supreme court, in an opinion given this morning in which the decree of Judge Knowles, of the circuit court from Union county, is affirmed and an unfortunate woman, who has been as inmate in the insane asylum since April, 1896, is restored to her prop erty rights of which she was depriv ed by means of a defective sale for dalinquent taxe3. The opinion was given la the case of Rachel J. Raf ferty, an insane person by A. D. Buz zard, her guardjan, respondent, vs, A. B. Davis, appellant. When A. D. Buzzard was appointed guardian of Mrs. Rafferty's estate, In September, 1907, he Immediately began proceedings for the annul ment of the tax sale, the property having been bid in by Davis ' for $13.70, and the county court having (delivered over to Davis a certificate .of sale to the land, and to recover I six years rental for the property from Davis at $150 per year, or $900. An examination of the evidence and rec ords discloses that the whole pro ceedings from the assessment to the final sale are more or less defective and irregular and simply amount to the taking of the property away from one person and giving it to another, Justice McBride says these proceed ings are the more deplorable when an insane and defenseless woman is mads the victim of the transaction. The above case Is of general in terest to the peDple of this county as another Illustration of the usual defectiveness of tax titles, and of special Interest because the parties to the suit are known to many resi dents here. D. W. Sheahan of Enter- I prise won the case for the guardian. and ex-Clrcult Judge T. H. Crawford of La Grande and L. J. Davis of Union represented the appellant. The first conviction under the new fishing law was secured by Deputy District Attorney Dill at Joseph, Tues day, when J. T. Sutton was fined $25 and costs for catching a trout with a grab hook. The new law absolutely forbids the catching of trout with any thing except hook and line. Sutton was found at the lake by .Mr. Dill and Deputy Game Warden Clemons in loiseislon of a trout that had been caught with a hook at the end of a pole. Sutton claimed the fisn had not been caught in the lake or within 300 feet of the lake, and the Rusk law was not therefore vio lated. This was true but the general law was, as such fishing is prohibited in any stream. The trial was by Jury before Justice Sheets at Joseph and result ed in a verdict of guilty. Clerk Boatman and Deputy Bllyeu are having their troubles these days. The attorney general has interpreted the new fishing law as requiring everybody, old and young, to take out un anglers license, The only differ ence Is that boys under 15 don't have to pay for theirs, and Boatman and Bllyeu are kept busy filling out' blanks for the lads. ny in Eastern Oregon, except pos ;lly Haker'a new $175,000 court louse.

County Surveyor H. E. Merryman is working on tlie papers for tlireo changes on the Ant Flat road,' that will in the aggie jate reduce the -distance between Enterprise and Sled Springs and the entire North Coun try over oneha'f mile, and very materially better the road by elimi nating the worst hill and making other grados lesi. The first change is at the north end of Ant flat where a straight route on noKh over tho Flatiiors Hros. land will be followed, instead of the quarter mile Jog to the east. This change shortens t!ie road one half inlle and betters the grade. At the L. F. Wright place, nine .nlles north of town, a change will be nade to avoid a steep hill, leaving -he road on a water grade.' This change will also shorten the road rom 12 to 16 rods. The third change Is on the W. F. taukln place, and Is being platted o that the county can acquire the ind on which the new route is ilready graded. If In addition to these changes, sev- iral sharp pitches would be done way with by the supervisors, and iome gravel work done on the new (ortion this side Snow Hill, It would e a first cluss dirt road. Is "near beer" Intoxicating?
