JURY ENDS LABOR
REFERS SUNDAY CLOSING TO
CITY OFFICIALS.
Censures Assessor Strain for Alleged
Alterations of Assess
ment Rolls.

The grand jury finished its labors
Saturday evening, made its final re-
port and was dismissed by Judge Ellis
of the circuit court.
Among the most carefully consider
ed questions that came before the jury
was that of Sunday opening of bust
ness houses, saloons and gambling. In
line with actions of other grand juries
of the state relative to this question
the Umatilla county grand jury prop
erly decided that these matters should
be regulated by city authorities.
Grover Martin of Milton was indict-
ed for murder in the first degree, and
Assessor Strain was censured for alter
ing the assessment rolls. ghe report
of the grand jury in part follows:
"We have returned twenty five true
bills, and six not true bills, and we
have failed to find indictments in
many cases brought to our attention
directly as grand jury.
1--WE have considered carefully the
question of gambling, Sunday opening
of business houses and saloons, keep
ing houses of prostitution, and other
questions of like nature, and while we
have returned indictments in num-
Der of cases where parties have been
complained against for gambling, yet
we are of the opinion that inasmuch
as each municipality is responsible in
itself for the existence or house of
prostitution, and derives the revenue
from the licenses of tire saloon, and
has full power to control, regulate or
prohibit such places, that the prosecu-
ton of such offenses more properly be-
longs to the different cities. And we
would recommend that complaints be
made before the different city record
ers by those persons who know of the
violation of such laws. We make this
recommendation particularly for the
reason that the municipal corporation
can regulate by license the conduct of
all saloons, and has the power to re-
woke license whenever the regulation
made ia violated. In cases where it is
necessary to invoke the state law, in
formation should be given the district
attorney, by sworn testimony sufficient
to warrent him in proceeding with the
prosecution.
"We found all the books of the
different officials neatly and correctly
kept so far as we were able to judge
without making a detailed examina-
ticn, except that in the office of tho
county assessor, our attention was
called by complaining witnesses to the
action Of the assessor iii making GER
tain alterations on the assessment roll
after the rolls had been equalized by
the board of equalization, and the ac-
tion of the assessor we condemn most
emphatically.
"We have refrained from returning
an indictment against the assessor out
of an abundance Of caution, and have
chosen to accept the theory that his
action was not malicious but the re-
suit of misunderstanding, though in
so doing we do not underestimate the
seriousness of his action. The altera-
ton referred to was made in the as
sessment of the property of William
Temple"
