Parties who eagaged the surveyors la coaveieatloa report that, while they were somewhat retieeat, they stated the site for the reservoir bad bees selected. a4 a favorable report would be sebaiitted favoriBg the one on the Harper raach. They stated the cost of eoaatractiBg the reservoir would be about 12.90,000, exchulve of the ditches. As projected the reservoir would cover la&d oa both sides of the Mal heur river, taking la a strip about 45 miles long by 30 in width. It would cover alt the land oa Dead Ox flat, as far back as the second bench from the river, and tho Moore Hollow.

Former Representative Ball of Tex as, who tendered bis resignation Mon any. tells a good story of John M Plckney, who will succeed him in tlu hotise from the IClghth Texas dis tricL The Incident happened a number f years ago, when Pirkney was the state attorney for his district. A ynun? reiiow from the North gad been ar retted on a charge of murder, and It became Plckney's duty to nros cuto htm. The sympathies of the district attorney were aroused by the friend leas condition of the young man his oM mother, who has traveled all the way from Philadelphia, being th only person In Texas who appeared to take any Interest In hlnx The court apiolnted a young lawyer to defend the prisoner, and as the case was not an especially aggravated one, Plckney ogroed to accept a plea of guilty of murder In the second degree. - For this the Texas statutes provide a sentence of from five years to life Imprisonment. The young lawyer made a plea to the court for leniency, drawing a pic ture of the prisoner's friendless con dition and of the sufferings of the aged mother, whose only support he was. Plckney was very deeply touched") an he decided to say a word for the prisoner, and he drew another pic ture equally touching and pathetic, appealing for leniency. After being Instructed by the court to return a verdict In accordance with the prisoner's plea, the Jurymen re tired. They returned very prompt y. -Have you agreed upon a verdict?" Inquired the clerk or the court, fol lowing the venal custom. "We have." resitonded the foreman. ' And what is the verdict of the )ry?" . "That the prisoner is not guilty." The court was righteously indignant and demanded to know why a verdict had not been returned In accordance with th Instructions of the ronrt "Wall, you see. Judge." explained the fereman: "the prisoner's counsel pleaded for leniency and drew a touch ing picture, and then the district at torney pleaded for leniency, and we Just dec 1 we wasn't going to be outdone by them, so we made np our minds we won Id sennit the prisoner." The court -tent the Jurymen to Jell for an hour and the prisoner went free. ' Crazy from Aleohollsm. Abram Juana, of Astoria, was re ceived at the Insane aaylum last ev ening from Clatsop county.
