To Build Reservoir.
From parties Hviag on Dead Ox
Sat. we learri that a party of govora
neat evnreyers hare bees eagaged
for the pat three months stjrveyiag
for a site for a reservoir to he baiK
by the SoreraaeaL The site selected
is oa the Harper raaeh. about K
Bile from Vale, the water to be tak
es fron the Malhear river.
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.
The reservoir would catch all- the
drainage from Malheur lake and the
Dams and Harney lake country. The
surveyors, gave out the Information
that tho work would bo taken up by
the goverwnont in a short time.
The importance of such a reservoir
and its canals con scarcely be com
prehended, as it will prepare for the
raach or thousands of acres of splen
did land that is now practically worth
less Weiser Signal.

BITTER'
As the Cards Seemed 'to Run That
Way Everybody Got Liberal.
From the Washington Post.
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.
