The board of examiners. Messrs
Francis +. Shaw and Edward Brasscy
appointed by the county commission
ers pursuant to recommendation o
grand jury of September term of the
District court, to examine, compare
and verify the records of the several
county officials, completed t heir labors
last Saturday and submitted their re-
port to the commissioners Monday OF
this week, which body ordered the
publication of same for the benefit OF
the public. A careful per,lsal of the
report, which appears in another
column. will convince the taxpayers
OF the wisdom of the grand jury in
making the recommendation.
The report il very complete and
comprehensive, yet "a ewexplanations
may he deemed necessary. Thelaction
OF the board of commissioners referred
to by the examiners in allowing the
county clerk and clerk of court to re.
tain fees collected by them, and paying
balance of salary by warrant, is ex.
planned by the fact that the board
was working under an act of the Four.
teenth session of the legislative assem-
bly, creating the county of Fergus and
providing for compensation of officers,
which act stipulated that the officers
above mentioned should retain fees
and he paid stated salary for their
services. The statute containing
salary law was not in the possession
OF the board until its June meeting.
when, in pursuance OF the provisions
OF said salary law the board decided.
enormously, to draw warrants for
amounts due county clerk and clerk
OF court less their fees. This virtually
made the same result as to salaries
due officers, but the fees thus retained.
not showing on the treas,,rer's books,
caused the annual report to show the
entire revenue OF the county less
amount of said fees, or $72s.I5. This
amount passed to the credit of the
county by the examining board, as
per their report, and debited to the j.,
county as salary lin lieu of warrants .
that otherwise would have been drawn,
leaves the balance cash on hand as !
shown in annual statement, with ex-
ception OF such trivial clerical errors :
rs are mentioned in the examining o
boards report in county and school " !"
Flinds. "
The cash balance on hand as shown 7
BY annual report was 500, 574.O3; an d
'rror OF $500 in county and school 2
und, corrected and added to above NJ
mount, makes total OF 1922 ,63l .O3: is
% this sum the examining board have p
idded such fees as were collected but "a
eported too late forquarterly report, p'
ND errors and over-payment, which, 10
'hen reported, will make the total p'
ash on hand in all funds spa. I25.3s
difference of $49s.35, which amount

Thus it will be seen that our records
ERE in exceptionally good condition.

Cycling Dom a Mountain Side.

road wound down around horseshoe curves
and loops without mum Der, and IS 1t was
on the east side of the smaller valley
which led down st right angles to the
Rhine valley had to ride on the outer
side of the roadway in order to be on the
right side. At first, in turning some Of
the sharp curves to the left where could
see nothing ahead but air and the hills of
Switzerland twenty miles away, | slowed
up some, for the road was visible for only
twenty or thirty feet ahead, and where It
went TO then l was totally ignorant, but
after riding mile or two down over
roads So smooth that the running of the
machine wss scarcely audible. let up
on the brake little and away | went
faster and faster.
One finger was sufficient on the brake
at first, but after few miles that enc
began TO get cramped and two fingers
were applied Then the brake spoon
began to get hot. but still could not see
the foot Of the mountain. About half
way down the water Of the Rhine began
to show itself over the edge of the road
as l came TO those sharp turns to the
left, and then | knew where the bottom
was. It actually seemed that, if l went
straight ahead, | should land in the river,
how many hundred feet below 1ny blurred
eyes could not clearly discover. Once met
a team and yelled, but the oxen were OF
their own side and I went by them with q
rush all right. Another time some
children saw me coming and ran down
the sides Of the mountain scared out o.
their wits Still | went like the wind
over the same steep grade and smooth
road down from top TO bottom. without
mishap but with feeling never before
