Kdltor II. V. Young, of the Couullle l Sentinel, makes a lengthy statement concerning the matter. In part he says: "Tho basis of the attack upon I Coos County seems hero to bo shift ed from tho question of tho com parative cost of running the county offices to tho 'County expenditures,' and for those the $181,606.07 abovo given does not Include all tho Items as this county levied In 1911 for roads, bridges and ferries alone, $19G,000. 'The Voter moralizes and general izes on tho 'Miscellaneous' Item of $11.1,096.07 In tho state account ant's statement of Coos County 'ex penditures' with a cock-sureness that Is amusing to ono who knows the facts. "Just how tho accountants In the offlco of State Insurance Com missioner nt Salem could have made such a horrlblo muddlo ns they did In tabulating and class'fylng tho disbursements of Coos Colinty for tho year 1914, probably they them selves would find It hard to explain. Hut a careful and thorough compar ison of tho figures and reports from tho county clerk's offlco hero with tho results published by tho Salem (Jfflco shows Into what confusion they have thrown everything. "In tho first placo tho blanks for theso reports were furnlBhed by tho Stato Insurance Department. In filling them out tho County Clerk obeyed Instructions and placed all disbursements for which no other head had boon provided under tho 'miscellaneous' heading. This gave a 'miscellaneous' total, not of tho amount stated In Mr. Chapman's nrt lole, hut of moro than double that amount, or $.'173,487. "If tho department had published that as sent, everything would have been clear and that nmuzlng total would have been easily explained by pointing to tho ltoniB which wont to mako It up. Hut Instead of doing so tho expert accountants there pro ceeded to classify $2G1,01S of It as 'Treasurer's disbursements' for stato taxes and other purposes, and still left a reslduo of $113,882 un der a head 'miscellaneous' which covered only payments by wnrrant. And ono strango thing about this was that tho entiro amount of gen eral warrants Issued In tho county last year was less than this $113, 882, to say nothing of alt tho other Items. "Tho first Item undor 'Treasurer's Disbursements' Is $30,098 for state taxos. Tho county's paymontH for stato taxes were $90,080, so that $59,981 of stato taxes makes tho first Item In this miscellaneous account. Tho total payments from tho coun ty treasury orr account of county and special district school taxes woro $104,200. Of this tho Btato ac countants rop'drt $131,410 undor the correct head and Icavo tho re maining $32,790 ns 'miscellaneous.' "Disbursements for port taxes re ported by tho County Clork at, $37, 800 shrink to $29,800 In tho export auditing, tho remaining $8000 being left as 'miscellaneous.' "Trust funds amounting to $7,034 all go Into tho 'miscellaneous heap. "Of tho $4,841 reported as Inter est on warrants, nil hut $100 was correctly l'sted and that balauco goes Into 'miscellaneous.' "For Interest on bonds $5180 was reported, but only $2600 got undor that head, tho remnlulng $2520 go ing to swell tho 'miscellaneous' ac count. "On tho other hand miscellaneous disbursements of tho treasurer which woro roported at $1476, havo grown In this report to $5257, mak ing un error on tho othor ldo of tho account amount'ng to $781. Theso disbursements consist of cash paid out for surveyor's cost, filing fees, road orders, licenses, flro pa trol, tax refunds, game fees, school libraries and farm demonstration fund, and woro all paid out In cash, and not In warrants by the treas urer. "Then, to mako tho full total of tho lie 'm'scellancous' Itom of $113, 8S2, wo have miscellaneous payments by warrant, which are really all thai bhould huvo gono under this head, to tho amount of $4235, Theso cover payments for timber cruising, conveying prisoners, farm demon stration fund, telephone bills, flro protection, flUug fees, tax notices and orroneous taxes. "Tho total of theso sums mako tho amount of tho tremendous 'miscell aneous' total, in which Tho Voter i;ecs so much skullduggery hld'Hn Cost of Cleik's Offlco "A misrepresentation In many cases is worso than an absoUto falsehood. It Is easy to brand tho Baimlkeir Trap Shooter Wimis Western Handicap IT WOULD be Interesting to know Just .how many bankers In tho United States ,aro trapshooters. A, man who handles a great hullj, of correspondence from trap enthu siasts says that a considerable per centage of his correspondents tiro connected with financial InstituMqus In some way or ot'ier. No, it Isn't necessary that a man should be a banker to enable 111 in to shoot at the traps; tho over whelming majority of trap shooters are undoubtedly men who get their dully bread In less remunerative oc cupations. It Is easily possible for u man to enjoy a lively afternoon's sport at tho trajis for tho prlco of birds, shooting a Remington pump gun and tho speed shcols.

" .'R'lly' Rutin's win was ono of tho most popular that I havo known about In tlio recent history of tho sport," says a well-known sporting editor, who saw tho banker trap shooter triumph over a field of 230 shooturH at tho big St. Louis meet, ship of Ills homo stato, breaking 95 out of 100 for tho honor. Another ono of his winnings this year was accomplished as, a member of tho Uadger dun Club of Milwaukee which won tho Intor-Stato Team Shoot at Chicago, May 9. Consistent shooting has probably been tho most conspicuous features of Mr. Raup's t'rnp record. Ho keeps on making good scores yenr uftor year, and In tho process continues an Important part of his training for tlio activities of business.
