 Final Report Of Grand Jury.
 TO the Honorable Jeff T. Bowling,
 Circuit Judge of the Ninth Ju-
 dicial Circuit:
 We, the grand jury, duly select ed and empaneled for the October
 term, 1911, of the Polk Circuit
 Court, beg leave to make our final
 report as follows, to-wit:
 We have diligently and earnest
 y inquired into all violations of the |criminal laws of the county which
 have come to our knowledge or of which we have received informa- tion, and as a result of our labors we have returned into court 99 in dictments, and have examined i67 witnesses.
 We report with pride that many of | the indictments are for misdemean- ors and but few crimes of a very grave character have come before us and that i'll our opinion crime of a grave character is greatly on the decrease in our county.
 We have also looked into and
 carefully investigated the report of | the Commissioners of Accounts, filled at the present term of this court, and find that it very clearly,
 fairly and impartially presents the l facts in regard to the official con- | duct of our county officers and the ifinanciai condition condition of al! the de- lpartments therein referred to and lreport with pride that al our coun- lLy officers are dscharging their l lduty with fidelity and efficiency. We have examined our county 1 jail and interrogated those confined therein, and we find the jail is kept in neat, clean and sanitary con- Idition, and that the keeper of the | jail is kind, courteous and humane | in his care and treatment towards all persons confined therein. We have visited, through committee Appointed for that purpose, the lcounty poor farm, and on a separ- ate report, which is hereto attach led, may be found the report of that icunIIiitttt65.
 We desire to extend to the court Jour sincere thanks for the very |able presentation of the laws de- Iiyered to us in his charge to our body, and for the kind and cour-
 teous treatment shown us and fair
 and impartial manner in which he
 is endeavoring to enforce the crim- final laws of our county.
 We also desire to express our sincere thanks 10 the prosecuting attorney for his kind and courteous treatment and his able assistance during our assembly, as we never
 saw anyone that was more ready and willing to assist us at any and all times and in any manner that
 we requested as MT. Pinnix has been.
 We desire to express our thanks | for he kind and efficient manner | in which our sheriff has met our every want and requirement and the prompt manner in which he has done so.
 We desire to thank all the coun- lty officers for the very kind and ic0urle0us manner iH which they lhaYe treated us, and for the assist

situated among the cedars on the

now and then a rifle shot rings out on
the evening air at some running Wis
itor who ms approached too near and
then ran away. The evenings are cool
and pleasant. The commissarys are
dealing out the rations in military
style. DriA occupies the entire morn
ing, while the afternoon is given up to
sports and bathing. Altogether good
time IS being had and the efforts that
have been made to get the camp into
existence have been worth the while

The desire of the Pacific Coast fol

made manifest anew in "a request for

definite plans for such a move have

gressmen say they expect to see the
battleships on the coast within a year,
or as soon as two more battleships go
into commission.
The principal reason why a battle.

according to Secretary Meyers las;
report. The coal produced on the
