in auditing the bills against the
county, checking the treasurer's
records, checking and register
ing all warrants against the diff
ferent funds, including school
districts, road districts, drainage
districts, game warrants, etc.
A record of each warrant is kept
at the time of issue, both in the
stub and in the warrant register.
Then these disbursements are
segregated into other books to
show the cost of each depart
ment of the county, from which
the auditors segregated annual
report is made yearly. The
auditor of himself has no author
ity to issue warrants, or to make
any refunds. He takes his or
ders from the commissioners, or
from the court. The auditor
may refuse to issue any warrant
if he deems the warrant
should not be issued, but his
action may be reviewed by the
commissioners or by the court.
AS disbursing officer, he fol-
lows the orders of the commits
sioners in issuing most of the
warrants, and of the court in
issuing warrants for court eX-
penses. These warrants must
then be presented to the treas
urer, who will pay if the certain
fund is on a cash basis, or who
will register the warrant and
thus start the interest if the
fund is overdrawn. Most of the
county funds are now on a cash
basis.
Most of the certificates and
permits are issued through the
auditors office-to hunt, fish,
marry, run for office, and to hold
office if you get it. The auditors
vault contains the records of all
elections, and all grants of per-
mits to conduct ferries, to use
county roads for phone or tele-
graph. 1t is also the disbursing
office for the codes, papers and
supplies used by justices over
the county, for voucher forms
used by all county employees, for
payrolls and time sheets on all
county work. All cash received
by the auditor is turned over to
the treasurer daily, and receipt
taken. The auditors Office re-
ceives the most fees of any coun-
ty office, and is necessarily run
on a cash basis-no cash, no
work done. Should the auditor
accept a job of recording, or
issue a license, without at the
same time receiving the money,
he would have to put up his own
money in order to make the
transaction complete, for the
county treasurer is always some
cold -blooded individual who won't
issue receipts for money without
getting the money.
From year to year. in this
state, the duties of the county
auditor have been growing more
and more complex, until now it
seems that any new line of work
is automatically slipped to the
auditor to do. There is perhaps
a good reason for this, as the
auditor must be a skilled clerical
man, we'll versed in modern ac-
counting. capable of keeping up
to-date record and filing systems,
methodical and accurate in de-

away a 1915 five passenger fore
door fully equipped touring car,
and this WdU be the first 1915
model car of amy make shoaOn IN
this county. The car will be on
exhibition next Tuesday after
noon as it will arrive in Spokane
Monday from the factory.
This car comes fully equipped
with the Delco lighting and ig-
milton system and has the self
starter and all of the very latest
improvements in cars.
The second prize consists of a
beautiful diamond ring valued at
S1OO and will be given to the con-
testant running second in the
race while the third and fourth
prizes consist of gold watches.
These three prizes are all on
exhibition at Rich's jewelry store
where all can see them.
The contest will be conducted
upon the following rules: The
only way votes can be secured is
by subscriptions to the Examiner.
Each subscription whether a new
one or an old one or back bill
or renewal will give the same
number of votes, and the contest
ant securing most votes will be
awarded the big touring car.
The second prize will 60 to the
contestant securing the second
most votes, while the rest of the
prizes will be awarded the same
way.
This campaign is in accord with
the Examiners usual method of
increasing it's circulation lists and
we figure when through with this
contest (and it will last but one
month"; that the circulation will
be equal to the circulation of all
the other papers of the county.
In the usual contests it is sell
dom that more than one prize is
used and then it is generally a
trip somewhere, a piano or a
diamond ring and as a usual thing
it lasts about three months, but
in this the largest and most ex-
pensive contest ever attempted
in a town the size of Colville in
the state of Washington there
will be four prizes in all, totaling
the enormous sum of $3.50 in
actual value.
The votes of the contest will be
announced twice a week, every
Tuesday on cards placed in con-
spicuous places around town ana
every Saturday in the paper.
The Buick touring car has been
purchased from the Columbia
Garage Geo. L. Rioth, proprietor)
and the Garage people guarantee
the delivery of this big car by
next Tuesday evening and fur
thermore guarantee that the 1915
model car is even better than the
IA was if such a thing is possible.
This car will be placed on ex-
hibition in the Columbia Garage
when it is not on the streets OF
Colville and the management OF
the garage respectfully requests
the pleasure of demonstrating
the many good points of this car
to the general public.
Now the other three prizes are
all on exhibition at Rich's jewelry
store in this city and are beauties
in every respect, any one of
which will we'll repay the lady
winning same for the effort she
nllts forth.
