almost centrally located, ard is flourish
ing little city in every sense OF
that much abused aud il-reated

live aud active; they are pu-hirg and en-

A FORTUNE FAVORED COUNTY.

Washington county is receiving its
share Of the pre- eot great in
tiux, ard its beautiful prsiries
are beirg dotted in every direction with
new farm honse5, while all Il lis lows are
| receiving additions to their poPulstion
| daily. There Is rot better county in the
| Stale than Washir g.on, and the record she
has made in the past for coed crops and
large yields she will fully maintain this
year, unless percharce some unseen calsm-
i'y like the drouth or the grasshoppers
should come in, which are evils which no
good ec0rd in tie past can counteract, and
against which TO Use popular expression,
there isB't anv Use TO kick" But there
isn't any imminent danger Of either this
year. Although the weather has been pref
~ dry FIR the past few weeks, the prospects
just as this pres nj writing are good for
rain, which would h. great hfn,f fiji 10
crops Of all kinds. The class OF immigra-
ton now pouring into this county is good,
composed of those who have some means,

they were, but because this : ate sfiUrd-

RAILROAD CONNECTIONS

Washington county has the advantage of
two railroads, one of which, the St. Joseph
x Denver passes through and cuts eff, so
TO speak, the mort east corner OF the county,
Hanover being the principal station upon
the line. There is come talk, although the
project has IS yet assumed no deinite pro-
portions, Of this road being extended from
Hanover to Belleville, the county seat OF
Republic county, and from there TO scan-
dia, the terminus Of the branch Of the Cen
trail Branch of the Union Pacific which
runs up fIom ConcoIdia. TIE Central
Branch passes through the southern part of
the county, there being brsnch extending
from Grsen'elf to Washington. b 9TH OF
these lines Of RAILWAY get good trade from
the county, Washington, Hanover and
Greenlesf being good shipping point for
grsin. The recent extension Of the Central
Branch from Grtc1les # TO Washington was
a good move upon the part OF that COM
pany, and, is is in full keeping with the
spirit Of sditiveHe-s-enlerpri-e which
is now this lire's prominent characteristic
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1879-01-01

The commission which has been inyesti
eating the books aud papers connected with
the State Department of Oregon, find
funds to the amount Of $4,000 either unac-
counted for or paid out without authority of
law. The report is very severe in It's con-
demnation of the late Governor, now Senator,
Grover. 1t lays on him large part of the
blame for loose and corrupt administration.
The report is particularly severe in relation
to the conduct of the board of the school land
and school fund commissioners, of which
Grover was the head. 1t charges that the
States educational fund has been squandered
until it is not worth fifty cents on the dollar
and it is shown by the committee that Grover
himself took large sums from the fund on
very trifing and inadequate security, and
used the money for his own purposes; also,
that he loaned large sums out of the fund to
others in such ways that the money came
back to his own pocket, taking for money, in
the name of the State, almost worthless Sc
curity, in consequence of which there is gre at
loss to the fund. Grover, by virtue OF his
Office as governor, had the loaning and man
agement of municipal funds. The committee
says that to the sin of obtaining money dis
honestly is added that of the violation of an
oath-bound trust-that of guarding the fraud
secretly. The committee adds that many OF
the transactions of the board were concealed
from the public by failing to report the same
to the legislature, and that such statements
as were made were false. Many of the losses
are OF character which cannot be well est-
mated, and will probably never be ascer-
tanned.
