confusion, naked:
"Massa, when y o ’ goes to de co’ t-

"Married, are you, Sam? 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

Sam was the first to greet him upou

"Yes, Sam, you old fisrl, you didn't

“Yes, Sam. a d olla r and seventy-five

“Will anuther license cost anyt’ lng?”

“Yes, Sam, a d ollar and seventy-five

Harney— The field party of the geo
logical survey in Oregon, under the di-
ractlon of John T. W histler, district
engineer, consisting of M. 1). 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.
