They climbed the low fence and sat
down on the top rider. The air was
soft, and it was freighted with the
smell of warm, wet earth. The sun
light through the branches made an
interviewer shadow fabric on the
ground. Bird voices piped with pleas

Isn't it?" she said.

The girl made no reply.
"Well," he said finally. 81 suppose

to an address which combine the good
qualities of eloquence, depth of thought,
and convincing power of truth of what
is said As was the case of the address
delivered at the Odd Fellows hall last
Saturday evening when Willis c.
Hawley of Salem addressed our people
on THE Future of Oregon and Coos
Bay" Professor Hawley received close
attention and was frequently applauded
throughout his address. While in the

hear on all sides that "Hawley is the

A receiving book..is kept for the

record, showing the exact trans
action and proceeds of each instru
ment filed.
A fee book is also kept showing
in detail every fee received in that
office from courts, fines, licenses
etc., together with the daily pro-
ceeds of the recording of instru.
ments, all of which are extended
into a total column from which
turnovers sre made to the treasur-
er. Thus each step is made clear
and traceable, and every dollar re-
ceived in that office is caused to
pass into a channel which termi-
mates by its nature into receipt
from the county treasurer, and any
irregularity however small occur
ring in the finances of that Office
can be clearly and quickly traced
to its origin.
Formerly all funds were received
into that Office through one general
receiving book with scarcely sufi-
cient detail to guide one as to the
origin of many items.
Turnovers were made in like
wise general way to the treasurer
which removed the possibility of
tracing the course of the various
fees from the hands of the public
through the Office of clerk to the
treasurer.
A permanent record is to be
kept IN the assessors Office of all
taxes and money collected by the
assessor showing its origin and
turnover to the treasurer; whereas,
heretofore no permanent record
has ever been kept by the assessor
aside from ordinary stubs and re-
ceipts which have been loosely
thrown about.

Jefferson Myers, president o.

member Of the commission, came
up from Portland Tuesday evening
The commissioners came up to
do little missionary work for the

not like it, but believes that the
results will be of great benefit to
Oregon, and for that reason the
work is worth all the trouble.

Hood River apples are becoming

LARGE LAND WAL. n
Half of Northern Grant With.
drawn From Entry Oh
November IA.

In the last issue OF the Blue Mountain
Eagle mention was made of the with
drawal for forest reserve purposes of
three townships localed between Fox
valley and the John Day valley, in
addition to two townships in the Izee
country. Since the last issue q report
of the withdrawal in the north part of
the county has been received, and in
stead of three townships, the land with
drawn from entry numbered just fteen
townships.
Those who are familiar with these
townships will readily see that it in
cludes belt of land from the north part
of Grant county at Dale south and west
to the extreme western part Of the
county Even the townships including
Long Creek, Fox and Round Basin are
included in the withdrawn area. 1t is
safe to say that neither of these three
townships will ever be included in q
permanent reserve, but unless the
people OF that part OF the county show
the proper authorities at WashinA N
the injustice of such a withdraw
enough of it will be included in a
permanent reserve to seriously injure
the stock interests of the north part Of
the county. An examination of the
records of the land office will show that
all of the best timber in each of the
townships Withdrawn has already been
purchased, and absolutely no benefit
can come from such withdrawal at
this time. The stock interests of that
part OF Grant county will not only
suffer, blt the growth of that locality
will be greatly retarded.-Blue Noun

COURT HOUSE
HAPPENINGS
New Books for Better system OF
bookkeeping Have Been
Installed.

The new books which were se
lected by &. B. Alley, the exper
employed by Morrow county, hayt
been installed in the offices OF
clerk, treasurer and sheriff.
Mr.. ALLEY who is we'll acquaint-
ed with the methods employed by
many different counties in the state
has taken what he considers the
best from each and has designed
system for this county which
will undoubtedly be great help
in keeping the accounts of various
Offices.
The main object in view has
been to prepare a set OF books that
balances can be quickly and ac-
curately made.
Under the old way the treasurer
was receiving money from the
various sources which were many,
which were entered up consecu-
lively 10 an ordinary journal from
which the several amounts were
posted into a ledger to the various
funds of the county, there being
no way of showing the amount Of
cash on hand without a great
amount of checking up.
Under the new system special
ly prepared form Of journal or re-
ceiving book is employed upon
which is entered each item of cash
received and segregated according
to the source from which it comes
and extended into column of total
receipts. The same receiving book
or Journal provides for a similar
method of entering and segregat-
ing all disbursements which are
likewise extended into a column
Of total disbursements.
By a peculiar arrangement of
the pages and the rulings the total
receipts and the total disburse-
ments are in parallel columns, en-
abling the treasurer to very quick
ly compute their differences which
will show the amount of cash on
hand at all times.
With respect to the sheriff's Of
fee all funds turned over to the
treasurer will be made upon q
form of requisition in triplicate;
the duplicate to be filed with the
county clerk. Receipts given by
the treasurer for such funds are
also made in triplicate, the dupli-
cate being filed with the county
clerk. By this arrangement the
clerk will be enabled to compare
the amounts of money represented
to have been turned over from
sheriff to treasurer with the
of money represented to
have been received by the treas
urer from the sheriff.
The rolls hereafter will be accur-
ately footed and charged to the
sheriff when turned over to that
office, and credits be given from
time to time as his collections are
turned over to the treasurer. De
linquents and double assessments
will be disposed of by order of the
county court and credits made ac-
col dinghy.
The sheriff will keep memoran-
da of all financial transactions of
his office in the form of credits and
debts which may be quickly and
easily compared with the account
of his office kept by the county
clerk.
Heretofore turnovers were made |
to the treasurer by the sheriff upon
A single requisition and no accur-
ate footings were made of the rolls.
Nor did he receive proper credits
by the clerk for funds collected |
and turned over, nor were his &C.
ever made to balance or to
compare with those cf the other |
officers.

has shown during his employment in the depart

There is a warden of a Jail in another state who

ment. he is George Taylor and he was i'm charge
OF the jail at Annapolis, Md, when one night last
week II was attacked by mob whose purpose was
TO secure and lynch negro who was accused of
ielonlous assault upon white woman.
The jail was almost in the shadow of the home
OF the governor of the state. Taylor had ample no
tce OF the gathering of the mob and was well aware
OF ITS purpose. Moreover he was fully armed, as
were his deputies.
Nevertheless, neither he nor they offered the
slightest resistance when the rioters began 10 batter
down the doors. Indeed he appears to have gone
TO his othce to await the mob the leaders of which
III due time appeared and on demand enforced by
a display of pistols obtained the keys and speedily
hanged and ridded with bullets the miserable
wretch who was the object of their lawless fury
1t is no mitigation of the enormity of the crime
by the mob to claim that the culprit
made confession The men concerned in this
lynching were just as much criminals, just as much
murderers as though they had Individually shot
down fellow citizens in cold blood.
AS for Taylor not only did he prove himself a
disgrace to the Office he holds, but he revealed him
e 4 tb, to bo1J
public position and unfit to associate with decent
and sef-respectng men.
If there were more jaers of the courageous

in charge of southern jails there would be fewer
ynchings to bring disgrace upon the nation.

To be tactful one must be utterly free
from self consciousness and try TO think
only of the requirements OF others.
A ready listener is always welcome in
all grades OF society, and the tactful girl
will patiently listen TO the woes and ills
OF other people without letting them see
how uninteresting they are 10 her. or In
return, repeating her own troubles.
What good can IL do any one 10 divulge
