ger the sum of Is cents, the accounts
of these officials being ''long" to
these extents. Additional claims
amounting to s55.58 against former
Treasurer Will Monk and $1,000
against former Treasurer G. w. Gies-
Ter were unearthed. AS both these
outgoing treasurers left behind trust
funds consisting of monies unaccount-
ed for, it is recommended that these
amounts be transferred from those
funds.
SUMS REDISTRIBUTED.
Redistribution of sums collected
and enormously placed to the credit
Of wrong school districts and county
and municipal funds, aggregating a
total of s3220.92, is recommended.
Minutes of the commissioners pro-
ceedings show that this redistribu-
ton was effected by the board at it's
meeting on April IA. School district
No. IS is to profit to the extent of
$262.44, and district No. 81 In the
sum of $622.65. while number Of
others receive smaller benefits. Most
of the large sum wrongfully credited
to district No. 81 is to be charged
to district No. SO, which suffers to
the extent of s54296.,
Comment is freely made upon the
fact that the audit investigation fail
ed to account for a larger portion Of
the excess funds former Treasurer
Will Monk had on hand when he
went out of office in January, 1915.
The. funds he then held unaccounted
for exceeded $1,000. With the with
drawal of the $5S.5S the report charg-
es against the Monk trust fund, it
still totals nearly $500. The fund is
to represent taxes paid in
for which the payers received no
credit"

UNIFORM PACK Is
THE GREAT THING.
yakima Herald, April 19th)

|
80 declares C. w. McCullagh,
after long trip through territory
where apples find market.
uniformity of pack in Northwest
fruit-and that means uniformity good
fruits the big thing to strive for
/ if the market for the fruit of this
section is to be built up, according
to the conclusions reached by C. w.
McCullagh, sales manager of the
Yakima Valley Fruit Growers asso-
citation, who returned yesterday from
trip to market centers in seven
states, in most of which lot of the
Yakima Valley Fruit is consumed.
"Mr. McCullaghs tour took him
through oregon, California, Arizona,
New Mexico. Texas, Colorado and
then he swung north and took in
Montana points on his way home.
"Past Seasons Experience"
The feeling of the trade every
where is the same" said Mr.. McCul-
lagh, "The wormy apples that were
shipped out of the Northwest the
past season, both in crates and boxes,
gave this section the worst black
eye" it ever has received. Dealers
and consumers had come to look on
the Northwest as the one section
where they could count on clean,
first-class apples. The shipments Of
wormy Northwest apples were a
shock to them. Jobbers, wholesalers,
retailers, everybody, is thoroughly
sick of their experience with this
fruit. Then, in many sections, to
make 1t worse, these apples were
followed closely by shipments of a
pretty good line of barreled stuff |
from Missouri.
Denver is badly flooded with in
ferior stuff. While l was there l |
saw 10 cars of fancy Ben Davis sold
at 65 cents delivered out OF the
car. They were not from this Sec
ton. They were in fair condition.
"Offense Has Been General"
mo one part of the Northwest Is
alone to blame. All the different fruit
districts in this part OF the country
were offenders, we along with the
rest. Good apples have been shipped,
but buyer was likely to get one
good car and then a poor one. There
was no uniformity anywhere.
what the trade wants, and what
it will pay good money for, is some
thing you are proud to sell, some
thing the retailer is proud to sell,
something the retailer is proud to
sell.
Quotations Vary Widely"
''Mr. McCullagh said the wide
range of prices at which apples are
being quoted, apples of the same
quality and grade, is another remark
able feature. In one place he found
a range OF 40 cents box in the quo
tations on extra fancy winesaps. BUSH
ness conditions are good in the terri
tory Mr.. McCullagh visited and OPP

CANYON COUNTY AUDIT
SHOWS DISCREPANCIES

SHOWS DISCREPANCIES s.
The following condensed statement
points out briefly the errors dis
covered in the books of Canyon coun-
ty office-holders, according to the
report of Clarence VanDeusen, ex-
pert accountant, covering a period
from the second Monday in January,
1907, to the second Monday in Janu-
airy, 1915. These findings, with the
comment Of Caldwell correspond
emit, are taken from the Statesman OF
Friday morning, following the publ
cation of the full report in the Cald-
well News:
pointing out errors in the books
Of big majority Of county office
holders of the eight-year period
which ended year ago last January,
Auditor vanDeusen's report was,
through some underground arrange
ment, published to the world by the
Caldwell News Thursday morning, az
forecasted in this column. Following
this lead, other papers OF the coun-
ty are going to press Thursday eve
ming with abbreviated summaries OF
the report, though the document has
no. yet been formally received by
the county commissioners at regu-
lar session.
DISCOUNTED IN ADVANCE.
Contents of the audit report were
found to have been largely discounted
by information which the public al
ready had of the data it contains.
Next in importance to the shortage
Of $3317 charged against G. Harvey
Moore. former assessor and tax col
lector, is the claim that A. o. Chris
TOPPER. while holding the same Of
fices In 1911 and 1912, failed to ac-
count for $30S293. "a large part Of
this amount is represented by signed
tax receipts for taxes collected which
do not appear on the cash books,
explains the report.
CHRISTOPHER EXPLAINS.
For tho two-year term of 1894,
when Mr.. Christopher first served as
assessor and collector Of personal
taxes only, the report claims there
is balance due the county OF $685.
So, with more than $4,000 in signed
tax receipts not entered in the cash
book. Regarding the first named
amount. Assessor Christopher stated
Thursday that he has one cancelled
check for $3.50 for which the auditor
does not give him credit. Relative to
the tax receipt matter, Mr.. Chris
TOPPER declares they are not missing
as he will show, and that they are
plank" receipts which have not
gone to the taxpayers for the rea-
son that the amounts are unpaid.
As is already known generally, the
assessors bonding company stands
back OF him and he has already
placed in its hands securities more
than covering the total OF discrep-
ancies alleged.
NUMEROUS DISCREPANCIES.
"Other amounts claimed to be due
from former county officials In this
report follow: Former Probate Judge
B. W. Henry $169.90; former Probate
Judge c. j. Sebring, $3.50; former

Calvin CoWles a SUICIDE.

Lenoir Topic,
Calvin H. Cowles ended his own
life at the Cowles home. Glover.
Hill," in Yadkin Valley yester-
day morning, a shot gun being
the agency employed in accom-
plishing the tragic act.
The tragedy occurred in the
home some time during the fore
noon while diseased was alone,
his three brothers being out on
the farm at the time. At the noon
hour, when deceased failed to re-
spond to a call to dinner, a bro.
ther went up stairs and found his
lifeless body lying on the floor OF
his room. An open razor was by
his side, two gashes in his neck,
a shot gun lying across his body
and the entire top OF his head
blown off.
Sheriff Triplett and Coroner
Austin were Immediately called
to the scene, but it was a clear
case OF suicide and no inquest
was held. A note in handwring OF
deceased was left in the room
reading as follows: "Joe, Ican't
stand it any longer. I'm going
to commit suicide. Calvin" He
gave no reason for his rash act.
The evidence showed that de.
ceased tried to end his life with q
razor, but was unsuccessful. A
shot gun was then used and the
whole load emptied into his fore
head.
The remains were buried this
afternoon at fourso'clock in the
cemetery at Chapel OF Rest. De-
ceased was about 40 years ofage
and was never married. lie was
a son OF the late Mrs. Amelia
