AN ANCIENT HEIRLOOM.
Clock Nearing the Century Mark =
Wheels and Cogs of Wood.

w. d. Parr is the owner in fee simple
of an ancient clock that carries with it
great interest. It's exact age is not
known, but it is nearly 100 years. 1t
was formerly the property of Mr.. PARIS
grandfather, and is an heirloom that
has been handed down from father to
son. He brought it here from the family
homestead in Indiana two years ago.
At that time it was in perfect condition
except that three or four cogs on the
main wheel were broken off (t should be
stated that the works are of woody,
which he replaced last winter with
orange wood, and being a good carpen-
Ter made perfect job of it. 1t stands
about three feet high. and has the square
frame used by the ancient clock makers,
with full glass door, the half below the
face Of the clock showing picture OF CO.
lonial times, representing a public build
ing of some kind, with large tree in the
foreground. Two heavy iron weights
hang one on each side. A long pendu-
lum swings back and forth, and the
ceaseless tick, took, tick, took, is heard
just as it was heard when our nation
was in the embryo stage and about the
time that Lewis and Clark made their
famous trip Of exploration to the Pa
ciic coast. With the exception OF the
pendulum, weights and gong the ma
terial is all wood. The cogs are made
of hard wood of some kind, so they bear
not the slightest evidence of decay. On
the inside is pasted this notice: Clocks.

Hadley, Plymouth, Conn. With the i'm,

A FINANCIAL STATEMENT
W. Henry Moore, Expert Ac-
countant, Files Report.
Books of County Found to Be Cor
rect Period From Statehood
to Present Time.

w. Henry Moore, the expert account
ant, who has been exporting the books
OF Whitman county from statehood to
the close OF business January II, 1907,
period OF II years, filed his report with
the board OF county commissioners Mon
day, and the people of this county know
exactly where they "are at" 1t makes
edifying reading. The officials of no
county in the state can show a cleaner
record, a record that is absolutely un
broken by any display of peculation
The few errors noted are trifiing and the
cause is apparent. The errors, as stated
by Mr.. Moore, in each instance were
found to be errors in addition, and total
500 As. AS summarized by Mr.. Moore
Errors made by excounty clerks and
auditors on account of fees:
Amt due county from j. f. Corner. s. so
Amt due county from w. w. Renfrew. Is so
Total S29. As
Considering the long period covered
and the many sums of money handled
this showing is indeed gratifying. We
shall only attempt at this time to sum
Marie his report. For example, we find
that the total amount of fees turned
into the treasurer's office by all auditors,
clerks and sheriffs from January, 1891,
to January, 1907, was $215 1925. OF
this amount the auditors turned in
1922, ,09920; the sheriffs, $31, ,312 So;
clerks, SCI, ,745,17.
1t will be of greater interest to know
that the total disbursements of all treas
urers from January 6, 1890, to January
II, 1907, amounts to $7,042, ,751.63.
This is large sum of money to handle,
and it seems to have been handled in
clean, business like way for the mainten-
ance OF correct county government.
1t will be necessary to transfer from
certain school districts the sum of
sos 60 to correct tax apportiOnment
errors for the years 1902. That is,
certain districts, as a result of errors in
AOdiIloA5 "CIC CICu1Icu Will duOuulB
that should have gone into the several
state and county funds. This will be
rectifed by debiting the districts in
volved and crediting the funds referred
to.
Following are the main features con.
tanned in the statement Of Mr.. Moore:

General Meyer has approved the detailed
adjustment OF salaries Of rural free de-
livery carriers as submitted by Assistant
Postmaster General De Graw. The new

compensation of carriers OF from 8 to 25
per cent, based upon the number of miles
traversed. The readjustment adopted,
with the increase OF upward of $6,OOO,-

thus be seen to be only $40, ,416 %, and
as the resources, from this showing, are
greatly in excess of the liabilities the in
debtedness is something that should
cause little concern. It's reduction has
been going on OF late years at rapid
rate, and if future administrations can
make as good showing as those of the
past the people Of the county can be
congratulated.
