 facilities for an adequate water supply to cmbcllish or make attractive or even fairly useful inc ground if il were not sterile.
 Tho building was badly designed for Inc purpose for winch if is now uscd- indeed. l am of the opinion that it was not designed for thnt purpose at all Nor can 1 sec that it can be adap,od to its present purpose, and certainly not with regard to future demands. without incurring greater cost than would provide for new proper construc tion entirely.
 With the small number of inmates ai this school if tx impracticablc io apply to any great extent those methods for their treatment and discipline thnt are now prevalent in modern institutions of like kind; and if the number were larger there would not he room for their accommodation. It k already over. crowded, which in itself is bad from every point of view. While it is to be regretted that there arc SO many fathers and mothers in the Territory who are so lost to not only their scpse of duty but to every sense of shame, that their children must be taken from t.scm and committed to such an institu. ton for the childrcn's sake. and in thc hope that they may become better citi. lens than their parents, ii is not to be expected that the number will, with our increasing population, grow less.
 Provision for ther proper care. dis. ciplinc and education is already made quatc, and the immediate future re. quircs further provision.
 IL is particu,ariy desirable that some provision be made for fitting the in mates to some honorable employncn, in the future ns well ms to give them an elementary education. There should be adopted and prnciiced rules of re- ward and promotion for good conduct and penalties and reduction for had conduct. To do this there should be n classification of the inmates and con. scquently facilities for their different housing and other treatment, all of which is practically impossible at the school as ii now is.
 A manual training department would be excellent, but again we arc met with difficulties. One solution, ii seems to me, is to abandon the present site and buildings. It is quite possible that the buildings there could be put to public or even private use and would not be n complete loss to the Territory. A site should then bc found with at lcast 16O acres of land and be had with reliable supply of water and or n proper degree of fertility ap.l reason. ably close Co n market for the disposal of the products. At least three build ing should at once be erected, which need not bc of great eost--two for the boys and one for the girls, so separated each from the other that there could be complete isolation from each other. In addition to these buildings should be of course the necessary barn, shop and other outbuildings. The boys could then be taught various occupations, as farming, blacksmithing and carpenter. ing, and the girls could learn the work of the laundry, of the dairy and the poultry yard, as well as the necessary "scamstrcss work of the institution.
 Interpretations.
 FW the two years ended June 90, 1906, the fees received by the Terri tory (through the office of the Terri torial Auditor) from the organizers of corporations amounted to $s3, 3,524. And for the six months ended December 31, 1906, the sum of the fees was $27,' IsO.GO.
 The considerable revenue realized from this source should not blind us to the fact that our laws governing the formation of corporations are entirely too loose and liberal.
 recommend that yon carefully TO wise the law for interpretations, and that you fix a franchise tax to be col lectcd from all corporations upon thei' formation in this Territory.
 The Public Examiner.
 The law enacted by the Twcnty'thirt Legislative Assembly creating the ofiic' of Public Examiner has operated to tho marked advantage of the tax-payinl public. The Public Examincr's frequent examinations of official accounts in al the counties are resulting m modern common sense methods of keeping nc counts. Until the various county of fees that deal with fiscal affairs hn' passed under his scrutiny, it was no realized that in not few counties th' officers were following slipshod and an tiquated methods of keeping the' books, with resulting confusion and m accuracy, and in some eases appearance of shortages which did not exist. Eve' more important, however the aiertnes of the Public Examiner has resulted Il recovering many thousands of dollar which otherwise would have been los through earelessness or adherence objectionable precedents. :.
 am glad 10 say, however. and !. n fact of which we have reason to re. proud. that almost invariably the foi lie Examiner has found the county o' Hcers honest and conscientious, an anxious to discharge their duties m creditable manner. Indeed, ] think may bc said of this Territory, that have fewer defalcations or other J, stances of dishonesty in office than found in any other subdivision or ''' union. l..
