Ocala, Fla, May IL, 1920.
To. Hon. w. S. Bullock, Judge of the
Fifth Judicial Circuit:
We, the grand jurors sworn and en-
panelled at this the spring term of
circuit court in and for Marion coun-
ty A. D. 1920, having completed cur
labors, beg to submit this our final
presentm
We have carefully and diligently
Investigated all matters brought to
ou1 attention and have found true
bills only in those cases where we
were satisfied the evidence would JUS
tify a conviction.
Considering the area and population
of our county. we deem it a compli-
ment that grand jury can finish its
lahors in less than two days. We find
our county generally to be in a
healthy, prosperous state and our
people happy and contented.
I We have carefully examined the
county jail and find all prisoners
treated kindly and well provided for.
We recommend that the iron work and
interior of the jail be painted and that

telephone. Certainly the Jail should
have this convenience and we deem it
economy for the county to see that
this is done.
We heartily commend Jailor w. P.
Chalker for his efficiency and kind
treatment of all those who may be SO
unfortunate as to be committed to his
custody.
We call attention to the board OF
county commissioners to the road ma
chinery left idle on the public high
ways. We deem it important that
the county property should be looked
after and protected.
/ We have examined the court house
and various county offices which we
find to be neat and well kept, the of.
ficials courteous and obliging.
In conclusion we desire to extend
to your honor our appreciation of your
able charge and assistance and alsC
desire to thank the state attorney
sheriff and clerk for their considera.
tion and assistance to us during oul
labors.
We now ask to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,

Dakota, Lauds Idaho Conditions
And Roads

Writing from Waubay, South OAK
ota, under date of July II, P. F. Mar
tin. after making the trip overland
from Caldwell is loud in his praise of
Idaho crops and conditions. Recent
floods throughout the upper Missouri
valley have done considerable damage.
Idaho roads compare favorable with
those of any state visited, according
to Mr.. Martin. who says:
Editor The Tribune:
1t took. our party 10 days from

than 1000 miles when should have
made the trip in 1900 miles. The
northeast corner of Nebraska, the
northwest corner of Iowa and east
half of South Dakota were under
water and l needed a fat boat or a
scow to put my Studebaker car on. 1t
has rained so much that the bridges
on the Sioux river are all gone.
The roads in Wyoming are not
much better than park trails. For
many 100 mile stretches thew are
ashamed to put out Lincoln Highway
signs.
The potato crop is most promising
in all the states | have crossed, with
corn a close, second followed by oats
and barley. Wheat is good in some
places, except where they had those
floods where it has turned yellow.
But take it around Idaho's irrigated
crops have got them all beat except
corn and we are very close on it.
On the road in Nebraska I wrote
on the car from Caldwell, Idaho" SO

everybody was interested in Idaho and
didn't get anywhere.
Yours for Idaho.
