''The grand jury Investigated the
county prison or jail of said Val

fed in reporting that the same is
being properly conducted. How
ever, in connection with said Jail
building, the grand jury makes the
following recommendations tO-wit:
That the interior of said Jail should
be cleaned up and kalOmined; that
the doors to the various cells be re-
paired so that they will properly
close and lock; that the floor in
said Jail should likewise be repair
ed; that the county commissioners
should provide some vault or place
outside of said Jail building, where
in the sheriff of Valley county,
Montana, may lock up and safely
keep all liquor exhibits. The grand
jury further recommends that blan-
kets be used in the jail in place of
quilts, said blankets can be laun-
dered and the bedding thereby kept
in a sanitary condition.
''The grand jury also investigated
into and inspected the county hos
pital of Valley county, Montana,
and find that said hospital is receiv-
ing the very best management and
attention and is maintained in a
most excellent condition.
eve have inquired into the cases
of every person imprisoned in the
Jail of said Valley county on a
criminal charge and find that there
is no prisoner therein against whom
an information has not been filed.
We, furthermore find that all GRIM
inal cases now pending in this
county are cases that have arisen
since the last jury term of the dis
trict court of said Valley county.
eve have likewise examined into
the conduct of the various Offices of
Valley county, Montana, and find
that there is no evidence or suspi-
ciOn of any wilful and corrupt mis-.
conduct in such Offices, or by any OF
either of the public officers of saiC
Valley county, Montana. We furth
er find that the records of the Yari
Gus county officers are carefully anC
neatly kept, and that the various
officers, from our observation, art
honestly and efficiently conducting
their Offices with a view to the vel
fare of the citizens of Valley eOun
ty, State of Montana. An exam
inatiOn and audit of the various
records of Valley county, Montana
was made by the Office of the state
examiner of the State of Montana
while this grand jury was in SEES
sion, and said audit and examina
ton shows that the accounts of al
the Offices of said Valley county
and especially those pertaining t.
the revenue of said county are CO
rect, and that all monies have beel
duly and properly accounted for.
eve further find that taxes ar
delinquent on a very large amour
of land In Valley county, Montana
and that said taxes have been bid i
by the said county of Valley, an
are advised that tax deeds can nov
be secured to many of said tract
of land, upon which the taxes ar
delinquent, as aforesaid. We ar
of the opinion that if proceeding
are taken to secure tax deeds fO
said Valley county upon such tract
of land, it win, in many instance
result in the payment of said delir
quent taxes; and that it will b
beneficial to the financial interes
of this county that such proceed
ings be taken to secure such ia
deeds in all proper cases, where til
the same may now be applied for

accounts carried, which said iOil
accounts appear to have been owl

and directors of each of said bank

were claimed to be the individu
property of the owners of said jOil
accounts, and which said books al
records, so pertaining to said jOil
accounts were removed from Il
State of Montana. and were beyOI
the process of this grand jury f,
examination. That by reason of Il
removal of said records, this graz
jury has been unable to investiga
fully matters pertaining to certa
joint accounts, and has been unab
to arrive at any conclusion pertai
ing to same, and, therefore, recOT
mends to this honorable court tn
