This morning the grand Jury
launched upon an investigation of
the purchase of steel fixtures for
the county treasurer's office and
the clerks office.
The fixtures for the treasurer's
office were bought in 1907 at a
public letting and cost the county
around $4,000. The fixtures for
the clerks office were installed in
1908 at a cost of nearly $4,000,
which has been said by some steel
fixture men to be twice what they
were worth.
The clerks office contract was
to be paid for 10 days after the
work was installed, but the old
commissioners allowed the bill, it
is claimed, two months before the
work was finally completed.
Shaw & Borden enjoyed the
county printing work under the old
commissioners for the last year or
two. The work formerly went to
the Inland Printing Co., but 1t is
said that George H. Collin, chair
man of the commissioners, and

NEW YORK, May 28.-One of

machinery of the H. H. Rogers sys-
tenn after his death was Miss Kath-

Miss Harrison, calm, steeleyed,

knew nearly as much about Rog-
ers' financial affairs as he did him
self.
When Rogers was beyond reach

Harrison had authority to give or

occasion the market broke while
the financier was on a cruise. He
expected to lose a considerable

Thrust out Into the cold, rainy
night by the thoughtIess coIored
porter of the Great Northern de-
pot, two penniIess and half fam

four hungry and sleepy little tots
were rescued and cared for early
this morning by kind hearted po-

They were on their way to
Portland from the east and had to
transfer from the Great Northern

no money and no place to stay for
the several hours they were COM
PEELED to wait, the little chiIdre n
had cuddIed together on a bench
with their mothers sitting beside
them trying to rest.
With broom and buster in hand
the negro came along and ordered
them out on the wet stone plat
form, even before notifying the po-
lice Of their presence there.
The children, scarcely more than
babes, were sobbing piteousIy and
stumbling sIeepiIy about. Both
mothers had given up in despair
and they too, were in tears some
time later when Officer Mcleod

came upon them. While they were
sobbing around the depot the depcs
finally called up the police station
and mentioned the matter.
The spectacle touched sott
spot in the poIiceman's breast and
he took them all to the o. r. =

other negro porter, took them In
to rest on the benches.
The case reused the pity az we'll

taken up for the two hungry fansI-
lies. With big, juicy breakfast
packed away in a basket, officer
Mcleod was soon hurrying back 70
