After being dissolved in court with
great dignity and impressiveness. the
Standard Oil company retires to its
den at No. IS Broadway and elects a
lot of its employees to be directors
and presidents of the various corpor-
ations which the court requires it TO
divest itself of. Some OF these
made-to-order directors and presi-
dents held a share of stock in the
companies to which they were elect
ed. and some did hot have eve that.
One of the Standards men had been
president of a subsidiary company on
the basis of a single share of stock
for eight years. during all OF which

nothing and never complained of his
job. That was before dissolution.

The grand jury has investigated
the matter OF sign boards on the
county roads and is advised by the
Commissioners that boards have
been painted for some of the prin-
oipal roads and that they will be put
up in the very heal future We al
so understand from the Commission
ers that the work will be continued
until all the principal roads Of the
County have been thus marked.

We find the moral condition OF the

taking hold of the matter OF Kidding

taking steps TO force the proprietors
of the dance halls to pay the license,
as provided By Law. We cheerfully
commend the sheriff for the interes,

dition OF the city better. We recon-
mend to the city council that 1t in

recommend TO the board of county
commissioners that births and deaths
be made a matter of record in the
county recorders office. as the law
provides. as we'll as on the books of
the board of health. Your grand
jury finds that marriages are duly
recorded.
Your grand jury has again spent
some time in investigating the But
Ter embezzlement case and find more
or less friction between the commits
sioners' and the district attorn-
ey's Office regarding the matter.
The district attorney say he can't
prosecute a suit against Buffers
bondsmen from the data compiled by
the firm of Warwick, Mitchell & Co,
as il is not sufficiently complete to
enable him to maintain a standing in
the court. The commissioners, on
their part, say that if the district at
torney would indicate to them the
missing links in the chain of evil
denee. that they would be supplied
in five days. We have made an at
tempt to gather up the loose ends in
this matter and bring the commits
sioners and the district attorney to-
gether. The matter is yet in an In
settled condition pending the receipt
of a letter from the attorney general
by the commissioners.
The attention of the grand jury
has been called Il the fact that the
school fund of the Big Wash. Egan
CANYON, Goshute. Hamilton, Lane
City. Siegel. Shingle Greek. and
Snake Valley school districts. are not
sufficient TO maintain the schools the
required number of months this year
on o of o~yerdrafts having been
made last year In order TO maintain
these schools during the term requir-
ed by law and as il appears that there
has in no case been any unreasonable
expenditures of school funds from
which this shortage has resulted. the
grand jury. therefore. recommends
that the county commissioners trans
fer sufficient money from the county
funds 10 Offset the oYerdraft of said

ed. We do not approve Of supplies
being kept in the patients ward.
1--WE find that there are no quar-
tiers provided for the patients to stay
in, in cold weather except the sick
wards. We recommend that an ex-
ira room be provided. It is ~ OPP
inion that the most suitable place
would be al the east side near the
rear of the hospital building. There
should also be separate sleeping
quarters provided for the ialitor.
I'VE find that the d. T. room
IS inadequate for the purposes which
it is used for. The present method
of heating is very risky for the
patients safety. Also the sanitary
arrangements are very crude and in
convenient. In this connection 1t is
our opinion that under the sitting
room that We have recommended a
basement could be constructed and
properly equipped with a separate
bath room for D. T. patients at a
moderate cost. We recommend that
the county commissioners give this
matter their earliest possible atten-
ton.
we find that the matron receives
thirty dollars per month and room
and board for her services and she
is allowed one dollar per day for
feeding the county patients and
seventy cents for feeding the prison
ers. To US this seems to be INSULT
Gent pay for the services rendered
of the matron and recommed that her
regular salary of thirty dollars per
month be raised to sixty dollars per
month.
