Big Damage at OREGON City.

Oregon City, Or, Jan, 19,-All the
mills here at noon today We're hir-
ing men to remove goods that might
be damaged by approaching floods.
The damage in this city has already
reached into the thousands, and i'm
mense loss will result if the great
masses of prepared pulp cannot be
removed from the paper mills before
the water washes it away. Despite
extraordinary precautions paper mill
people are extremely nervous and
fear they may havs to close down to-
night Unusually large number of
orders have been filled, and short
age of white paper likely will follow.
Not one bridge, other than the sus-
pension bridge, over the Willamette
river is safe, and all traffic with Es-
tacada and other 1earby towns is cut
on, Several log booms in the Clack-
amas river broke away this morning.

GOVERNOR
LAYS DOWN
new RULE

When Governor West this morning
denied the application of the District
Attorney of Multnomah county for the
extradition from the state of Montana
Of Edward Murphy on the grounds
that the state had not shown that it
had sufficient evidence to convict him
of the crime charged; and on the fur
ther ground that it was not shown
that the crime warranted the expendi-
ture of the money necessary for his
return, he inaugurated a new policy
with relation to the granting and de-
nial of applications for extradition of
criminals in the state.
Murphy is charged by the grand
jury of Multnomah county with the
crime of forgery. The offense is al
legged to consist in passing a forged
check to the amount of $50 on Fred
Miller, of Portland. After examining
the showing made by the state, Gov
ernor West concluded that it did not
show that there was enough evidence
to convict Murphy if he were re-
turned, and also th>( the crime was
not sufficient to warrant the state to
expend large sum of money to
bring him back.
Heretofore the policy has been to
grant application regardless whether
it was shown that there was a suffi-
cheney of evidence to convict, and also
regardless Of the expenditures which
would be necessary to bring the
criminal back to the state.

irregularities Charged.

Leadville.-State Public Examiner
II. J. I.cddy having found irregulari-
ties In the accounts Of some Of the Of
ficers OF Lake county. will probably
institute suits to recover the money
alleged to have been wrongfully used
or to criminal prosecution where such
a step is possible.
In some cases the Irregularities, II
is alleged. were caused by the ignor-
ance Of the law and In other cases
they are set down as pure graft.
Leddy says that for the past ten
years the clerk of the Board OF Coun-
ty Commissioners has been paid a
salary OF S2.4o0 per annum. Attorney
General Benjamin Griffith has rem
dered an opinion to the effect that.
according to the statutes, the clerk
should receive IS day for every
meeting held. II a meeting was held
every day in the year. 1t would mean
that he would be entitled to only
1885 year. In that case there ID
due the county $3.50 for illegal dis
bursements to the clerk during the
ten years. Leddy alleges that the
board has never held more than
twelve meetings a month and aggre-
gately there Is owing the county some.
thing like $4,000.
In the sheriff's office Leddy claims
to have found the most fragrant of the
irregularities. During the year 1909
he found that the county commission
ers had paid for the following expen-
ditures OF the sheriff: kilograms.
$454: hack hire. $1.313; railroad fare.
S462: sleeper, 3102: and during the
year 1910. kilograms. sos; hack hire,
$3.50, and carfare, SITS.
Leddy alleges that not only were
these bills excessive, but that there Is
not a single receipt on file with the
county commissioners for the moneys
paid to the sheriff for the expendi'
lures.
