BUT few ERRORS ARE FOUND
Report of Expert Accountant Made
on County Records.

That the errors of the different
Umatilla county officers have been ex-
ceptionally small is the fact brought
iout after thorough investigation of
the books by E. A. thomson, an expert
accountant, says the Tribune. In sew
eral cases at least it is certain that
part if not all of the apparent discrep-
ancies can be accounted for and that
in some instances owing to accumulat-
ed overcharges the county received
actually more money than it was en-
titled to receive.
Mistakes have been found. and pro-
Eably will never be entirely eliminat-
ed. In view of the immense volume
of business transacted by the county.
amounting as it does to hundreds OF
thousands of dollars yearly, they are,
however, small.
In the light of thorough knowledge
Nof the conditions leading up to the
transactions appearing in the report,
a total absence of anything of criml-
NAL nature in the errors is very appar-
ept, and most OF the mistakes easily
Understood.
" Under the administration of Record
Ter Fred w. Hendley, from July l,
1906, 10 July /, 1908, shortages in col
lecting fees from filings amounting in
| full to $39.65 were found. But Mr..
Hendley has fled with the county
court statement showing that the ex-
pert had overoharged him with $3.50
for undercharging fees which should
not have been, leaving the real short
age as per experts shortage $500
He also filed report showing that the
sum of $44.S0 had been collected and
turned over to the county which sum
was made up of overcharges on in
struments, leaving the amount of
$11.75 that Mr. Hendley has turned
over to the coutny as fees in excesa OF
those which actually belong to it.
The recorders Office has handled in
the neighbor hood Of 10 900 instruments
during Mr.. Hendley's term OF office.
Under Mr.. Folsom's term OF office a
similar explanation might reduce his
apparent shor tage.
Of the assessors office Mr.. johnson
says: ''With the county poll tax done
away with in the levy of 1906, and no
other public monies with the excep-
tion of an occasional transient tax,
coming into the hands of the assessor,
the examiner found little in this office
to occupy his attention. a."
In the Office of the county clerk, IN
der the administration of Frank Sailing,
from July 1, 1905 to July l. 1908,
shortages amounting to total OF
$149.05 we're found, but all OF these
are errors in making collection of fees
and were easily explained.
In the sheriff office from July |,
1907, to July /. 1908. discrepancy o.
$751; is found in the collection oi
taxes and most of this was the result
of understanding of the division
of school district and other specia
taxes. The accountant says: IN

recruits remaining In their wet clothes
until they get dry again. No old
