A ll right.” called the judge, as he hastily drove off. Arrived at the courthouse, he spent a very busy day, and it was not until he was preparing to leave that he remembered Sam's license, and realised that he had not been told the name of the bride-elect. "The old idiot, he never told me who he wants to m arry, but, o f course, it’s Lnoinda; he’s alw a ys making eyes at her.” So saying he returned to the wumhouse and had the license made out lathe names o f Sam and Lucinda. Sam was the first to greet him upou his return w ith the inquiry: ’’(lit my license, Massa?" "Yes, Sam, you old fisrl, you didn't tell me who you w ant to marry, but 1 remembered how you’re alw ays hanging around courting Lucinda, and got the license In her name.” “Lawd, M assa!” exclaim ed Sam, “taint Luclndy, It’s K yarlln e.

W illiam s and Frederick C. Huber, is continuing th t development of topography of irri gable lands in Harney vallay. Some thing over one-half of the valley north of Malheur Lake has now been covered. It is estimated that the work can be completed by December 1 . Another field party, consisting of Herbert D. Newell and Esmond I. Davis, is investigating an additional reservoir sit« on lower Bully creek and one on upper W illo w creek. Tim W il low creek reservoir site is being studied with a view of ascertaining the possi bility of covering certain lands on the west side of upper W illo w crcekfvallev. The work on the U m atilla project has been in charge of Thomas B. W h ite and a party of four assistants. A fter a full examination of the reservoir site, the canal line to U m atilia river w ill be taken up, topographic work being carried© n at the same time. A representative body of citizens of Union county, has presented to the chief engineer of the United States geo logical survey a statement of the e x isting conditions in that county, accom panied with a request that investiga tions anil surveys lie made of certain reservoir sites and of the possibilities of developing an underground water supply by means of artesian wells. The petition asserts that Union coun ty contains more than 100,000 acres of fertile irrigable land, and that the pres ent water supply druing the two months of low water suffices to irriagte only about 1.000 acres.
