the riddle Of his conduct.
He seemed a good boy, but some

had built little house for himself
at the rear edge of the garden, and
though he lacked any direct instruction
in carpentry the work had a distinct
professional finish There he spent
most of his leisure. working with tools
and often making salabe articles. but
chiefly occupied with some invention,
his sister told me.
Frank would admit me to this house.
but not to its secrets An end OF its
single room was always screened on.

vinced that the solution Of the whole
mystery lay behind that screen.
There was no way to get into the

less the same is necessary"
Under this section it seems to us the
county officers are clearly required 10
perform the duties the commlssloner says
they perform as a matter OF charity.
We wish to inquire here why II Is that

the valuation of dry farm lands by the
assessor in 1910 from IS to $40 per acre
was partly I'D 6 cover eis t ntce
In recent decision handed down by
the attorney general OF this state. ne
says that the law does not allow the
county commissioners 10 act as ex-
officio road supervisors, and that they
cannot collect pay for the same. we pay
a salary to the county engineer Tor DONG
ers thnk he is not competent 10 nil SAID
office they should appoint competent
deputy to assist him. How much more
do set of county commissioners who
are not engineers or surveyors know
about roads or bridges than any other
man of ordinary common sense? AL
least, II is pretty tough on the taEXpayers
bridge. have the same accepted by the
commissioners from the bridge company
and then have it handled In such man
ner that it is wrecked before 1t Is even
in use. We do not know where the bame
for this lies, but we do know who Will
have to foot the bills for repairing the
damage: also for the expensive law SUIT
that is almost sure to ensue.
\ county paper recently published a
list of the laws enacted by the last legis =
lature taking effect the first of this
month. and in that list we do not find
anything modifying the law providing for
letting of road contracts; therefore. we
world like to have competent authority
on this subject "a Mr.. Wrigh. has not
shown himself to be very well informed
on other points of law.
We would like again to call MT
Wright's attention to the Code, page 4O32
which states clearly that the county com
missoners are not entitled to charge
mileage, and we demand that the county
commissioners comply with the law and
cease allowing themselves mileage.
on the whole Mr. Wright shows him
willing to misrepresent the same to us
because he thinks we are Ignorant. we
are uncertain which. but Will givehim the
benefit of the doubt. In either case 1t Is
clear that the taxpayers of Okanogan
county should wake up and find out what
the commissioners are doing with the
county funds.
