A sensational report spread
through Pendleton last week to
the effect that Sheriff T. D. Taylor,
of Umatilla county was 6hort in
his accounts between $20,000 and
121,000. Tho deficit, was first
discovered by County Expert
Clark and Buchanan while inspect
ing the records. Yesterday after
noon District Attorney Phelps
called Sheriff Taylor's attention to
the alleged shortage.
Sheriff Taylor seems overwhelm
ed by the revelations and remain
ed in his office nearly all day in
conference with deputies. Before
making a full statement he is
awaiting the final report of experts
who have the matter in hand.
Twelve thousand dollars was
turned over to the county treasur
er yesterday by the sheriff, but it
was simply money which had been
delayed since June on account of
the rolls not being balanced?"
"The experts have not made
any report as yet, and I do not
know what is claimed." said the
i sheriff, "but I believe that it will
icorne out all right when the matter
is fully straightened out."
"I know that there is Btill some
money to be turned over on some
of those old rolls, and I will not
know just what the amount is un
til the books are balanced, but I
cannot believe that there is any
thing wrong with the accounts."
Deputy Davis, who it is under
stood had charge of the bookpeep
ing both for this administration
and for the Blakeley term just
preceeding, refuses to say any
thing, rejerring all to the sheriff.
County Treasurer Summerville
states that $12,000 was turned
over by the sheriff yesterday and
he believes that $8,000 of this

secured from private sources by
the sheriff to apply on the short
age. It is claimed that the irregular
ities date as far back as 1897 when
Representative William Blakeley
was sheriff and that the alleged
shortage during that administra
tion was approximately $4,000.
During the last seven years the
moneys and accounts of the offices
have been in charge of one of the
deputies, but who will be held
responsible for the alleged ir
regularity will not be determined
for some time to come.
It is expected that the work in
clearing up the sheriff's office will
be completed this week, when ex
act figures will be secured con
cerning the alleged shortage.

flesh wounds on the arms were
deep slashes, one or two being
about 6 inches long. There were
three stabs in the lower part of the
back; two in the left breast which
went through the breast; one just
under the left breast and ranged
toward the heart, onlv missing
that vital spot by a half inch; and
one, a most serious stah, in the
back, between the neck and right
shoulder, which went through into
the lungs.
Joe's wounds are of a very ser
ious nature, and the warm weather
makes recovery more difficult.
However, as we go to press he is
resting easy and hopes are enter
tained that his strong vitality will
aid him through.

Numerous unique engineering
problems are encountered in the
Klamath reclamation pro j e c t ,
which embraces the largest area of
irrigable land embraced in any of
the numeious government irriga
tion enterprises nearing a con
struction stage. Relief models of
the project are on exhibition in
the Foresty and Irrigation build
ings at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition, and are proving one of the
main attractions to fair visitors
from this region, says the Portland
Journal.
During the current quarter, in
addition to the survey work which
has been continuously prosecuted,
I much has been accomplished in
the matter of purchase of necessary
reservoir and dam sites, and in th
amicable settlement with the
various canal companies. The
preliminary estimates and plans
have been carefully reviewed and
approved, and the chief engineer
recommends the project for early
construction.
The option for the purchase of
tho Ankeny canal at a cot of
$50,000 and the recognition ol tb
water right now vested in the 1,799
acres of land now owned by the
proprietors of the canal was ex
tended to June 1 and, although
this option has now lapsed, Mr.
Ankeny is completing abstracts of
title to the property preparatory
to making transfer to the United
States. An option for the purchase
of the Adams canal at a cost of
$100,000 has been obtained from
F. L. Adams, the latter to sign up
his 2,000 acres of land with the
Water User's 'association, which
would in effect reduce the purchase
price to about $66,000. The
Ankeny and Adams canals hare
each been irrigating some $5,000
acres of land for the past 15 years
aod both canals can he utilized as
lateral systems ot the proposed
government project. Negotiations
with the Klamath Canal company
have finally been brought to a
successful issue, an agreement
having been entered into for the
surrender of all its canal property
and water rights to the United
States for $150,000.
Terms of settlement have been
agreed upon for the purchase of
the Clear lake reservoir site em
bracing some 25,000 acres of lake
and lands riparian thereto, to
gether with riparian rights on
Tule lake, 12 miles of existing
canal, rights of way for new canals,
etc., and the final steps for the
transfer of this property to the
United States are now under way.
Detail topographic work to con
trol final location of the distribu
tary system has been in progress
since April 15, and some 70 square
miles have already been mapped.
These maps are made on a scale of
2,000 feet to the inch, with con
tour intervals of 2$ inches and 10
inches, depending upon steepness
of slope, and from present indica
tions will cost less than $16 per
square mile.
Stream gaugiogs and evapora
tion observations have been con
tinued, and in addition the work
of lake and river sounding has
been taken up in more detail than
heretofore.
It is expected that this month
will see at least one locating party
to fix final location of canal in the
field and that a boring outfit will
have commenced operations and
the preparations ot final plans and
specifications for certain parts of
the work will be under way. "
At present 85 per cent of the
private lands have been signed up
under the project, and it is believ
ed that nearly all of the land will
come in within a few weeks.
During the coming quarter topo
graphic work will be completed
and practically all the locations
for the lower project will be fixed,
when a considerable force of men
may be relieved. The work of
sinking test pins along the lines
of canal, and that of boring at
dam sites and elsewhere will be
nearly, if not quite, completed.
Designs and specifications will be
prepared as rapidly as the results
of boring and other field operations
permit. The regular hydrographic
work will be continued. The soil
classification will be completed
and also a report on drainage
conditions.

There is a movement on. foot to
organize the wool groweis of this
county into an association, says
the Burns Times Herald. At
Shaniko this year; with an associa
tion and the seal-bid system,
wool producers received as high as
26 cents. In this county, with the
exception of one clip of 50,000
pounds, which has not yet been
sold, the highest price received
was 20 cents.
The first sheep were brought to
what is now Harney . county in
1883. At that time the principal
industry of the country was stock
raising, and there was a strong
prejudice against sheep. But
time has nearly, if not quite
eliminated this ill feeling, and to
day the production of wool is one
of the leading industries ot the
county.
