Light snows which have fallen during the past week has added some three and four Inches to tho solid blanket covering the com munity.

Reports from Maxvllle say that about four feet of snow covers the ground there, while In the Promise section from two to three feet Is reported and about tho same depth from the Powwatka ridge. The snow in the valley is from eight to ten inches deep and reports from parts of the hill farm ing area give the depth from 10 inches to two feet.

The document filed 37 years ago. was signed by J. R. Oliver, clerk and F. s. Slater, deputy, and was a reso lution adopted. The heading was: "The members of the Bar of the Sixth Judicial, Dis trict, representing the state of Ore gon for same district, plaintiff, vs. James A. Fee, one of its Judges, de fendant." But In spite of the wording of the heading, the text of the resolution was all in favor of said Judge James A. Fee, who Is still practicing law in Pendleton. He was circuit Judge be fore Judge Eakln, Judge Slater and Judge Knowles, and at that time the district included several Eastern Ore gon counties, instead of the, now two counties Union ana waiiowa. The document's opening sentences are perhaps self-explanatory. They read: "The said James A. Feer as Judge of said district, and not, otherwise is hereby accused by the members of the bar of said Judicial district, of havine honestly, faithfully and con scientiously performed the duties of doubts of his qualifications and fit ness to perform the duties he has since performed to the entire satis faction of the bar of said district." The occasion of the resolution was the changing of the sixth Judicial district by the removal of Umatilla countyi leaving only Union, Wallowa and Baker counties In a district to be designated as the eighth judicial district. One of the closing paragraphs readB: "And he Is further accused of disregarding the wishes of all of the members of the bar of the Sixth Judi cial district, after the' elimination therefrom of Umatilla county and of consenting to attending the duties of ald Umatilla county and the little acquisitions thereto made by the last legislature, and deciding matters per taining to the interests of the people of that section of the former Sixth Judicial district of the state, arising out of the growing of twenty cents a bushel, and the fore- PURPOSES OF STATE BOARD MADE CLEAR (Continued Prom Page One) Is composed of the governor, the sec retary of state and the treasuror, ac tually forming a third Drancn oi gov ernment the enecutlvo administra tive. .

Going at some length Into the problems that confront tho board, he said that every effort was being made to halt waste, carolessnoss, Incompet ency, etc., In the ranks of state em-l ployes. ''Most of them are serious minded people, doing their best," he said, "but there are those who arc either lncompotent, or worse dis honest." , - Ho spoke of many savings made by the board, including Glu.uuu per an num saved by taking advantage of cash discounts alone.
