the higher institutions of learning
Of this state may prepare teachers.
Teachers for the high schools are to
be trained at the University of
Washington and the Washington
State College only. And the train

How the Chaplin Walk Originated.

How the Chaplin Walk Originated.
In the April Woman's Home Com

famous walk originated.
II used to live in the vicinity OF
the old Queens Head in Lambeth.

The Queens Head was pub
There was a cab stand near by and
an old character they called Rummy'
Binks was one of the landmarks. He
had bulbous nose, crippled, rheu-
matte body, a swollen anG distorted
pair Of feet, and the most extraordi-
nary pair of trousers ever saw He
must have got them from e giant and
he was little man.
"Whon / saw Rummy SHUTTLE his
way across the pavement to hold a
cabmans horse for a penny tip, / was
fascinated The walk was so funny
to me that l initiated it When I!
showed my mother how Rummy
walked, she begged me TO stop be-
cause II was cruel to initiate a mis-
fortune like that. But while she
pleaded she had her apron stuffed
in her mouth. Then she went into
the pantry and giggled fo~ ten min
utes.
DAY after day cultivated that
walk. It became an obsession.
Whenever pulled it, was sure OF
laugh. Now, no matter what else
may do that is amusing, can never
get away from the walk.

audience behaved as though 1t was
tongue-tied. So was I. ! began to
get uncomfortable. The occasion was
too solemn for words. qlit talking

off the stage with my Runmy walk.
The roar that broke loose in that
house amazed me. I had to shuttle
back and then shuttle off again. Then
I had to shuttle on again and talk,
and every word I said drew roar
OF laughter simply because of the
shuttle"

especially gratifying to me for l have
seen the evolution, in Jackson county,
from the old-time methods of hit and

than suspect that this gratifying re-
suit is, at least in part, due to the
fact that periodical audits are in

Praises Jackson
County Offices

Following is a report rendered by
J. H. Wilson, certified accountant
OF Corvallis, Ore, who was appointed
by the county court to make an Off
cial examination OF the books of the
county offices. The report is for the
year 1916 and is reproduced in full:
County Assessor.
The assessor made personal prop
erty assessments which he collected
during the year 1916 to the amount
of $8,931.72, and this amount he de-
posted in the treasury in December
1915. This is the largest assessor s
collection ! have found this year in
the twelve counties which | audit,
and the assessor is to be highly com
mended for his diligence in this mat
ter. II is beyond question that a
large amount Of this money would
be lost to the county If the assessor
had not been thus diligent.
The County Recorder.
The recorder has earned and col
lected the sum OF s3,S5t.S0 during
the year 1916, which has been depos-
tied In the treasury, in monthly de-
posits as earned. His fee hook shows
every transaction in the records with
the correct amount, and the totals
In the fee book agree with the
amounts deposited in the treasury.
The recorder has a perfect record,
every cent is properly accounted for,
and his record exhibits perfect work.
He Is having the indexes o. his deeds
corrected, and the number of correc-
tions being made therein confirm the
necessity for this work. The value
of the record is determined by the
correctness OF the indexes. And
where, as in one case, forty omissions
we're found on one record book, II is
readily seen that such set Of in
dexes were wholly inadequate. The
system in vogue is the same as Is
being generally adopted within the
state, but in making the indexes,
when this system was installed, the
old indexes were simply copied, and
therefore the new system was as i'm
perfect as the old system. And no
man could go to the indexes and de-
termine whether he owned tract Of
land or not, but must rely upon the
abstractors, OF which Jackson county,
fortunately, has a good set. That is
to say, there is a good set o! abstracts
in the county, but not owned by the
county,
The County Clerk.
The county clerk has earned and
collected during the year the sum OF
$5,007.S0, which amount he has de-
posted in the treasury, in monthly
installments as collected, His war
rant register or claim record from
which warrants are drawn correspond
with the bills filed and passed upon
by the county court. His game
license issue has all been submitted
to the state game warden, and the
report shows a claim of $3.50 over
paid. His scalp bounty record agrees
with the warrants issued for scalps,

and the states half has all been re-
funded, the last two remittsnces hav-
ing been received in January and
February, 1917.
The county clerk is peculiarly well
adapted to the handling Of that Of
flee. In several matters he has in
stalled methods Of handling the busi-
ness which have not only made the
record more accessible and conven-
lent, out which have saved the coun-
ty considerable sums of money like,
for instance, in the matter Of envel-
opes for electi n supplies. The law
says how those supplies shall go out,
and the supply houses furnishing en-
velopes, printed, charge largely in
excess of the amount It costs the
county under Mr.. Gardner, who, by
simple device, answering the re-
quirements of the law quite as well,
has made a substantial saving, run
ming into several hundred dollars
each election In that matter. This is
one of the large clerks offices, and
will soon become larger when the
records are placed in the clerks
hands, and It is we'll to realize that
the clerk is fully qualified and indus
trious and diligent enough to keep
the office up to high degree of eff
cheney.
The Sheriff.
The sheriff has collected and de-
posted in the treasury mileage to
the amount OF $4S0.05. But he de-
posted also $40 in addition thereto
in the month of July. 1916. which
amount he is entitled to have re-
turned to him.
As Tax Collector
He has collected the following
amounts:
In 1912 and prior years,.s S,1S1.S7
1918 ................ 3,323.55
1914 .............. of,zoV.oo
1915 ............... 629,7lS.o4
All of these collections he has de-
posted in the treasury, and Of which
for 1912, s13.11; 1918, $5.7S; 1914,
$7.O5; 1915, s571.93; total, $597.-
81, was deposited January 3, 1917.
| mention this to save confusion In
future audits.
In addition to this, the sheriff
seems to have had on hard a small
balance, between 81 and sS, which
he deposited during January, 1917.
This was entirely outside the record,
and supposed to be differences in
making change.
The Treasurer.
The treasurer had on hand

the amounts deposited by the several
