IT IH A VOtiUJlIOUS DOCUMENT The Jury Adjourned on Thursday After Investigating the Charge Made Known lo Them. ' In the circuit court of the state of Oregon, for Columbia cous.ty . To Hon. T. A. MvBride, judge of the above-named court: We, the undertidned grand jury for Columbia eounly, Oregon, fr the October, 1893, term of said cohrt.make the following at onr final report, and respectfully represent: That we have carefully investigated all charges of crime presented to ua, and have returned into court Iruebilla where we thought the evidencu waa SUluViiMlt. We found, when we met in October, 1803, that the county court bad em ployed one C M, White to expert the book and accounts of the aherifl's, county clerk's, and treaaurer'a otttce of this county for six years prior to July 5th, 1803; that we, pursuant lo your instructions, employed said C. M. White to continue said examination down to October 16th, 1893. On ac count of the dittrict attorney being unable to attend our sittings on ac count of sickness, and it being neces sary for ut to adjourn, we, after con lulling your honor, adjourned until December l'J, 18U3. Thn report or the expert showed a mistake of 1933 W ui the account of G. W. Cole, former treasurer, and ihut he waa indebted to the county in sit id sum. Mr. Cole admitted the error ana paid said sum of $933.53, with legal interest, in all amounting lo 91,030 into the treasury. , After a careful in vestigation in this matter we found it waa a clerical error In hia accounts and that there wat uu wilful intent to de fraud the county. We, therefore, ex onerate Mr. Colo from all criminal lia bility in thia matter. Tbe expert report showed that a. C. Dale, former county clerk, owed the county 84 on account of trial fee While we were not in session the county court met and he settled Ibia matter satisfactorily with the county court. The report of the exporlnbo showed that. E. E. Quick waa indebted to the county on account of trial fee in Hie sum of $850 50. Thia matter was ul-o iuvertigMti'd (y tbe county court, nod We iintliistiMiti the matter waa sulnduc lorily axllled. We find t!:at the amounts charged to Mr. Dale and Mr. Quick were tees not collected, and Ihut the biaik showed that all money collected by both these oliiccra bad been paid over to i ho treasurer as directed by law. That neither Mr. Pile or Mr. Quck were in any way guilty of keeping or converting public nnnicv. I lie ex pert charged the clerks wuh trial eca in ci iiniiiiil case w hich they could not collect. We, Ihercfore.txooerate both ot said persona from all criminal lia bility in this matter. Oar investiga tion ol Una matter convinced u that the tleiks have not ulwuvs collected trial fee in advance. The law requires the clerk to demand in advance of trial, the trial fee in civil cates, and unless this fee is remitted by the judge before trial the same should be col lected by the clerk, and if he fails lo collect the tame, the county court should, unless remitted by the judge, charge tho tatoe to the clerk's accoiiiit. The expert a reiairt showed that T. C. Walts was short in his account the sum of $180. We understand that the county court, after a full and careful examination of said mutter, found that Mi. Walls' account wore correct, and that he waa released from all liability in l he matter. Mr. Watts appeared before ua and presented hi private Issiks showing that during hi term of otllce be had kept a daybook and cath account of all hia proceedings as sheriff. If hia example had been fol lowed by hia successors in otlice they, perchance, might have kept their ac counts straight. The expert's report showed W. A. Meeker, ex-sheriff, short in hit ac counts the turn of $1,350.86. Thia amount, we understand, by tho subse quent investigation by thu county cmirl. was increased lo the sum of $1, 63340. Thit amount ia due aud un paid. . . . The expert s report showed, thai u. A. M actio was short in his accounts in the sum of $3,173.96. This amount was reduced by the county court to the sum of $3,051.00. This amount is still due aud unpaid. The expert a report shows that the accounts of E. M. Wharton, county treasurer, were correct, and all public money received by bin) had been cor rectly accounted for. The assessor, w. It. Ityser, was iillod in before u aud found to bnvc $232 poll-tax in hi possession. This amount he waa holding ua an oflsel to what i he county owed Ium. In our pinion this waa publio money belong n g to the county. We demanded hat he pay tin money over to. the rensiirer and present hia bill for ser- ices ua asseasor lo the county court, which li did. Wo visitcil.lhe county clek's office, the treasurer' aud sheriff's offices, and found Mr. Quick, Mr. Wharton, and Mr. Watt, the lately-appointed sheriff, each faithfully arforming the duties of hi respective office. We visited the county jniland found it in fair condition. Io our investigation of the sheriff's olBoe, and the method of keeping ac count of money collected on taxes, aa adopted by ex-Sliortff Meeker and Massio, we find that Meeker and Maa sie tried to keep I he account of tuxes collected safely, from record kept in stubs of receipls. We do not consider this a proper system of ' bookkeeping. We recommend Ihut the county conrt furnish the sheriff with a cash book in which he can enter, daily, the amonut of taxes collected from eaoh taxpayer, together With the number of receipt and on which roll collected, and that each day's transaction be carried for ward into a journal also provided by the county, and that these book be kept as permanent records in the aher itt"ofl!ce. We, since 1864, have had a statute in this stale requiring the sheriff to psy over all money collected by him o.i any tax-list in his liauda to the treasurer of the county once a month, taking duplicate receipls, one of which he shall tile with the clerk of the county court im mediately thereafter. This lime has recently been reduced to once a week.) If this statute had been enforced by the county court, in our opinion there would be no short age io the accnunta of the ex-tharin of thia county, and in our opinion the county courts of ibis county have been derelict in their duty in not requiring the sheriff to pay ovei the lax money collected and tile their receipts there fore as requiied by law. The fee of county commissioners for the last year, it seems to ua,are ex- cessive. We understand that this Is due to the fact t 'lit the county com missioner spend a considerable por tion of their time looking after road and bridge. At the county court ap points the supervisors, we recommend that in the future they try to apiHiini supervisor competent to look after iberoaiUand bridges in their own districts without so much supervision from the court. If this can be done there will be a saving to the county in county commissioners' feea. And now, having completed our la bors, we ask to be discharged. Foreman, J. H Hwager, C. W. Moshbk, R. 8.

At about 8:30 p. in. the Mason and their families and invited friends gathered at the opera ball and from there they repaired to the Masonic hull where, at 0 o'clock Col.
