NO BLAME ON SHERIFFS
The only blame attached to
either ex-sheriff William Blake
j tc rhfriff" T D Taylor for
the shortages which Lave oc
curred in the office during their
terjcis is that of having reposed
too much confidence in an em
ployee. But that is a common
and .wholly excusablesuit.
No one who know either of
these estimable pioneer citizens
believes that either of them
ever saw a cent of the money or
that either of them ever dream
ed that sooh work was being
conducted in spite of their con
fidence in the chief deputy. ,
As usual the innocent mutt
mffer the .blame and bear the
loss of the crime. The word
will be sent but that, the sheriff's
offioeof Umatilla county is short
and the natural conclusion of
those who do not know the facts
will be fhat the sheriff is to
blame. This is the unfortunate
phase of the question.
At home the facts are fully
known and the blame is placed
where it belongs. But abroad,
facts will be guessed at and mi.
judged conclusion? will bb
reached. To set the matter
right before the public should
be theobjectjOf every citizen of
the county.
But the fact that it was an
employee trusted beyond his
deserving who committed the
crime, does not change the fact
that a stricter and more system
actio - regulation of publio ac
counts in Oregon should be
enforced .
No matter how accurate and
trustworthy an employee or an
ofBolal way be, thejonly way to
be right H to know that you are
right, It is only justice to the
official to keep strict check on
every item that passes through
his hands. It would have been
highly profitable for boih'Mr
Blakely and Mr Taylor to have
hired an expert once a year, at
their own expense to look ovt r
the accounts of their office in
the light of the faota just made
publio.
A publio examinerV office
should be created by the legis
lature, to have charge of every
publio account in the state. It
is a matter of economy and a
matter of j.tstioe. Now is the
time to agitate for the 'creation
of this office. East Oregouian,

All order given prompt

The newipaper that ia read by
the most people of the kind yon
want to reach it the paper for
yon to use.
There is very little excuse at
this time ff the year for able
bodied men to be applying at
private bouses for a "handout."
The hitrvest is on and the
laborers are few. '
Sugar beets are ripening f ut
and present indications are that
the beet harvest will commence
about the fifteenth ' of this
month. This will give employ
ment to several hundred people
in bolb factory and field. , ;
The population ti Clatkuias
County, as shown by the state
census, is 20,877. The gain is
less than expected,, since the
populatiou in 1900 was 19,658.
Clatsop, which had 12,765 five
years ago, now has 16,04b. . ;
A parcels post arrangement
has been perfected witb Austra
lia. Parcels weighing not more
than four pounds six ounces,
measuring not more than three
feet six inches in length, and of
a value not exceeding $50, may
be mailed from this country, at
twelve cents per pound or frac
tion. ' '. . . '
Realestate was certainly on
the move yesterday. While the
windstorm' was the strongest
known to have visited this sec
tion of the state for many years
comparitively little damage has
been reported so far. Several
minor acoidents have been re
ported, but nothing important
so far as the valley in general
is concerned has been repor'ed.

MEAT CHEAP
But not Cheap Meat
Having purchased the Bock
& Thomas shops and also tbe
-lull Market, we are in position,
with the threa shops, to furnish
our patrons witb choice . meats
at a less price than if we had
only one shop. It is uot our
inteutiou to raise the price of
meats, but it is our inteution to
reduce the pric-, stud thereby
hope to increase . our trade.
A trial order will convince you
of the assertion.
