East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-11

John McCourt, U. s District attor-
ney to-be, returned from Portland
last evening and ne Is now laying his
plans for moving to Portland should
his appointment be confirmed by the
senate. That such action will be TAX
en- there is said to be no doubt ana
unless the nomination shiuid be with
drawn by the president before that
time Mr.. McCourt will become Ore
CONS federal district attorney next
Monday.
But while he regards his selection
as now an assured thing. Mr.. McCourt
is not acting previously in the mat
ter. This morning he said he would
make no move towards giving up his
residence here until he does become
district attorney in fact. Today he
has been at his office as usual and
to the casual observer there is moth
ing about him to indicate that he
has been struck by the lightning Of
a presidential appointment which
many good men desired in vain.
While in Portland on his recent
visit Mr.. McCourt war warmly con-
graduated upon his appointment by
members of the bar and the manner
in which his appointment has been
received is very gratifying to him. In
this particular there is a difference
between his case and that of Chris
Scheubel, who was first named for
the post.

A TYPICAL REPORT.

The BungIng Bookkeeping Of Aus
tins Water and Light Plant Scored
by the City Auditor as Mere Memo
randum.
The report of the auditor on the
annual water and light report was
read at the council meeting last night
and is submitted below in full. The
report contained some startling state
ments regarding the methods Of the
department, and it was heard with
considerable interest by the council
men.
Auditor Morris began by saying that
the report was incomplete in many
respects: that he had not investigated
its shortcomings further than the 1907
report, as instructed, and that in doing
so he had tried to keep from being
personal He stated the following
matters of which there were no men
ton in the report: UncolIected earn
ings, rebates, charity, credit balance
on customers accounts. Among the
Door features of the system he men
toned the improper handling of ex-
| tension advance earnings, showing
how the system worked in this con-
nectiOn.
He showed many points where the
annual report differed from the de-
partment ledgers, the latter being
short on water light and power show
ings. He said that after he had
tried to find the discrepancies there
had been handed him loose leaves,
with the statement that they had been
| found, Even then, he said, the figures
| did not tally, and some more loose
leaves were found, and still the figures
did not tally.
He showed where a total of $1G,-
5000 was paid on payrolls that had
not been approved, as required. He
showed where numerous payments for
| damages had been charged to such
| expenses as materials and repairs.
He also showed the making OF pay
ments in cash before the warrants for
the payments had been drawn.
One particularly interesting state

debit side of the ledger to make II
equal a disbursement of which there
was no record. He showed further
that the statement Of the city treas
urer did not tally with that by the de-
partment. He showed where 1907 cash
payments had been posted as 1905 OF
1908 payments. He showed where the
penalty charge had been omitted IN
many cases.
He criticised the lack of any check
on the stock in the warehouses and
summarizing the general bookkeeping
said it was no system at ALL merely
memorandum. He closed with a mum
ber of recommendations.-Austin CIex

Finest IN Its History.

Rapidly dawning is the fifty
eighth annual Ohio State Fair
and Industrial Exposition, to be
held in Columbus, August 81,
September l, 2, 3, 4, next, with
advance prospects that it will far
excel all others in educational
entertainment and amusement
features.
Never before have such heavy
entries been recorded in it's COM
petitive departments, while the
demand for space for exhibiting
farm, shop and road machinery
has been so great as to complete
ly exhaust the capacity of the
buildings and plated ground de-
voted to these displays, and it
has become necessary to create a
large overflow section of some
fifteen acres, that all may be ac-
commodated. When it is con-
sidered that seventeen mammoth
buildings are devoted exclusively
to exhibits, some conception OF
the stupendousness of the forth
coming Exposition can be formed.
In anticipation of the splendid
displays now assured in the COM
petitive departments, the mana
gers have contracted for amuse-
ment and entertainment feat
ures extraordinary, including an
aerial carnival under the direct
supervision of A. Roy Knaben-
shue. The carnival has aroused
the greatest interest throughout
the state, and including, as it
does, daily airship flights, balloon
races and ascensions, will attract
vast crowds. In addition to the
aerial carnival visitors will be
entertained with feats of daring,
skill and dexterity, including C.
E. Hardy, high wire king; Matt
Gay, somersault back diver; Mile
Spellman, with her troupe of fif-
teen trained bears, and six other
meritorious performances. These
acts will occur in the open, posi-
lively free to all.
The official program of the EX-
position has been issued, and we
note that Tuesday, September l,
has been officially designated as
Modern Woodmen of America
Day. On this date Woodcraft
will hold it's annual field day ex.
ercises, including prize drill tC
be participated in by crack teams
of the state and a varied pro-
gram of athletic contests, with
liberal prizes offered in each e
vent. The committee in charge
confidently predicts that twenty
thousand Woodmen will be in at
tendance, and that the even
will be the grandest in the his
tory of the Order. Monday, Au
gust 81, will be Women's Free
Day, while on the closing da!
