Treisury De partment, giving the "geneial stock of money in the United Stutes" on February 1 and the amount in circulation on that date, was received b- tbe Ob- server yestorday. From it we gather that on February 1, 1904, there were $2,777,054,774 in stock somewhere in tho United States. Oi this $1,326,841,555 were gold coin or bullion, an in crease of gold for the month of 112,219,029. . - Of silver there were $761,325, 675 in slock, being an increase for the month of $100,572,908. February 1 there were in circulation, that is not held in the U. S. Treasury, $2,487,979, 301; giving a per capita circula tion of $31 60. In 1860 the per capita circulation of money in the United States was $13.85. COUNTY EXPENSES. Secretary of State, F. I. Dun bar has just completed, from the official reports of tbe several county clerks tbe aggregate ex pense of ell the counties in Oaegon fcr thn year 1903. From this summary it will be I seen that te run the 33 counties in Oregon in 1903, cost tbe tax payers $1,100,385 34. ' This does not include the money paid for educational purposes, common, schools, normal schools, agri cultural cill)go, and S ate Uni versity, except the salaries of county superintendents, which in all ccunties emounled to $33,939.77. The Observer reiterates its statement that county expenses as a whole are too great iu Ore gon. To assess and collect the taxes in 1903 cost $113,848 32 or over ton per cent of the coun Abraham Lincoln, whose 95th birthday was celebrated in La Grande yestorday. Aaclcnt nt-rtn.

In the list of ex penses as published,' the unde finable charge of "current ex penses" swallows up $57,847.25 and that other mysterious leak age, "court . house expenses" shows whereby $79,577.95 has been trans'eried from the pock els of the tax payers to those of somebody else, and the dragnet "miscellaneous expenses" drew from tbe pockets of tbe ' people $19,134.06. The great trouble is the peo ple are too busy with their in dustrial affairs to give proper attention to county management and until they look closer after county business there is little or no hope of bettering present conditions. The laws now on tho statute books were placed there in tbe interest of ambi tious men to provide good places for heir workers in the couuties and so long as they reuiuin on the statute books there is little hope of lightening tbe burden of taxation and until the people demand it the load will not be reduced. A great conflict is in progress in the far eastern country, the end of which is not yot apparent, and which may be far reaching in its results. Tbe progress of the conflict is being closelt watched by those who are in tores ted in tbe treni of affairs of the nations.
