Digester Tankage
made by the Union Meat Company, North Portland, Oregon,
is a proven hog food of high quality. Being made of concen
trated animal food (60 per cent protein) it develops bone and
muscle in pigs and MAKBiS THKM GROW by supplying the
bodily nourishment that other foods lack. It is fed wet or

report tbat the balance shown to be
delinquent and uncollected on Janu
ary 1. 1914. amounts to $4,976.70
after charging the sheriff with $110.
906.44 instead of $108,135.46 as
shown by the clerk's certificate.
There is no doubt in our mind that
there are double assessments in the
amount shown of $4,976.70 and that
when the roll is thoroughly analized
by the sheriff's office that the actual
taxes collectable on this tax roll will
be but a small amount.
In connection with this tax roll
matter, we advise that Crook county
has had its books audited for a great
many years. Reports are on file from
a Mr. Dunlap, Mr. Crandall and Mr.
Wilson in addition to the more re
cent examination.
Most of the reports rendered by
these men made reference to the con
dition of the tax rolls.
We quote from a report of Mr. Max
Crandall to the county court of Crook
county dated January 26, 1909:
"To the Honorable County Court,
Crook County, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
"I have audited the accounts of the
sheriff, clerk and county treasurer
for the period of time from January
1. 1907 to December 31, 1908, inclu
sive, and have filed with the county
clerk the usual statements of ac
counts of the various affairs, and
from which you will see that all dis
crepancies have been settled.
"You will see from the reports on
the various tax rolls that the amount
of sheriff's assessments and amounts
of errors and wrongful assessments
are very large, amounting to on the
roll of 1907 of the first item to the
sum of $16,598.41 and $12,435.06 of
the second.
"This shows the urgent need of
ownership records of each tract of
land in the county to use as a guide
to the assessor in obtaining a correct
list of the real estate, there is no
doubt but there are still more dis
crepancies in this assessment.
"The roll of 1906, also shows very
heavy discrepancies.
"A you will notice from the state
ment I have made there is $36,000
uncollected taxes on rolls of 1901 to
1907, over $30,000 appearing on the
rolls of 1906 and 1907, to have this
sum of money properiy put on a basis
of an asset, it is almost necessary to
have these ownership plats to find
proper owners to collect of.
"As the delinquent taxes are no
longer required to be published by
law, to properly protect the innocent
taxpayer as well as the county in case
of sale of certificates of delinquencies
the need of this ownership record is
absolutely necessary as a guide for
the tax collector to work from as well

as the assessor In making his assess
ments. I have recommended to the
clerk the numerical system of filing
all papers where a fee is charged, to
more accurately account for same.
"The expense of the change will be
very slight, the only cost being for
the purchase of '.n automatic num
bering machine. I would suggest al
so that all county warrants be
printed hereafter to read to the "or
der" of person whom warrant is
made In favor of instead of to "bear
er" as is now.
"At times It Is very Important to
know just who cashed certain war
rants. I have filed a financial exhibit
showing the conditions of the general
fund and road fund on January 1,
1909 also a statement of the amounts
expended for the years 1907 and 8.
Under the various headings as re
ported to the secretary of state by
the county clerk, and may be of val
uable information to your honorable
body or to any taxpayer of this coun
ty. "I find the records of the various
offices all well kept. .
(Signed) MAX CRANDALL,
Public Accountant.
Prineville, Ore., January 26, 1909"
The amounts uncollected on the
various tax rolls are approximately
as follows:
1907 $ 4.976.70
1908 13,982.11
1909 24,728.71
1910 13.263.22
1911 11.211.11
1912 27.640.57
Our investigation has not been of
such a nature that we can determine
just what items on these rolls are
double assessments and just what
items are collectable.
This is the duty of the sheriff's of
fice and steps should be immediately
taken to clear these rolls as provided
by statute.
The sheriff's office Is apparently
open to criticism in the matter of
these delinquent taxes. The law di
rects how these matters should be ad
justed step by step. No proper sys
tem of Issuing certificates of delin
quency has been in force in this coun
ty until recently. ,
The sheriff has made his annual
report to the county court regularly
and in certain cases has asked for
adjustment credits as located. He
has not, however, fully cleared each
year's roll nor has he held any tax
sales for a number of years. These
matters should be immediately at
tended to.
When we speak of the sheriff, we
mean those gentlmen occupying that
elective position during the past 7
years.
From our Investigation we are of
the opinion that the county should
at once take steps to provide the as
sessor's office with the proper owner
ship records.
The timber land holdings In Crook
county should be cruised and the ag
ricultural lands properly classified.
It Is impossible for the assessor to
do his full duty to the electors and
taxpayers of the county without a

proper base. Most of these tax
troubles start from the time the as
sessment is made or not made as
the case may be.
With the proper equipment the as
sessor has the proper tools to work
with and the responsibility as to the
Integrity of the tax roll Is fixed.
We note from the treasurer's
books that the county raised by spe
cial levy a tew years ago an amount
In excess of $12,000 known as i
cruising fund which was to be ex
pended for cruising the timber lands
in the county.
This fund has not been expended
for the purpose for which It was
raised. The treasurer's books show
that this cruising fund waa transfer
red to the general fund early In 1913
and used to pay the county s state
tax.
Report as to uniform system and
monthly reports to the Insurance de
partment:
We found that by reason of the
county court having held three suc
cessive terms (November, December
and January) that the reports to our
department were delnyed because the
work of the office was not up to date.
We also found that uo proper record
of outstanding warrants waa main
talned. We determined the amount
of the county's outstanding Indebted
ness and after opening up a new
ledger as of January 1. 1914, we ac
counted the bustuess that had been
transacted to February 28, 1914, and
have rendered the monthly reports
to this department
We additionally scrutinized the
claims allowed during 1913, and
made a general survey of the coun
ty's affairs within the time at our dis
posal.
The County Court has passed a
resolution to have a thorough audit
made of the accounts of the county
It was not our function at this time
to make such detailed audit, and in
reporting the results of our Investi
gation we would recommend that no
further audit of this county be made
at this time inasmuch as our depart
ment will make an examination of
this county for the year 1914. We
fall to see the necessity of the county
incurring additional expense. The
value of a more detailed examination
at this time is doubtful.
More attention should be paid to
the statutes relating to the respective
offices.
We found nothing that would
cause us to form an adverse opinion
as to the integrity of the county offi
cials.

Madras Man Meets
a Tragic Death
Madras, Or., March 23. Wil
liam Thieleman met a tragic death
on Saturday evening, either at his
own hands or -those or some one
else, the indications being: that he
accidentia shot himself.
The body was found when Ray, a
son of the dead man, came home
from work and not finding his
father at home, left for the field
where the man's team was found
with the body lying: a short distance
away, the side of the head being-
blown off. A double-barreled shot
gun, containing one empty shell,
was found near the body. The
wagon seat was bloody and the in
dications are that the man was shot
while riding in the wagon, and re
mained in his seat until the wagon
struck a big stump and was over
turned, when the body was thrown
out and fell some distance away.
The theory of the authorities is
that, while riding in the rig, Thiele
man had the gun standing by his
side and when reaching for it to
shoot at a rabbit, he accidentally
discharged it, the load tearing away
the right side of his face and greater
part of his skull.
Deceased has been a resident of
this section for nearly 12 years,
having located on a homestead
which is now in a high state of
cultivation, and at this place his
family has been reared. He leaves
a wife and four children. He was
about 60 years of age and had
spent a greater part of his life in
Oregon.
At the Coroner's inquest Sunday,
held by P. B. Poindexter of Prine
ville, accompanied by Sheriff Elkin's
it developed that after finding the
body, Thieleman's son and wife
loaded it into the wagon and
brought it to the house, before
notifying the neighbors or authorities-
The coroner's jury brought
in a verdict of accidental shooting.

HELPS TO AGRICULTURE.
Msny Anlmsls and Birds Are Good
Friends of the Farmer,
Predaconua animals and birds have
an Important function to perform in
their capacity as natural enemies to
crop destroying Insects and pests, ac
cording to the biological survey of
the department ot agriculture. Tbe
annual damage to crops by Insect and
mammal peats In the United 8 tales
now amount to many millions of dol
lars, which Is the result largely ot tho
eucroachment of new Insect enemies
and rodent pests and the destruction
by man of the natural enemies ot
these crop destroying pest.
If meadow mice were always pres
ent the red tailed hawk would rarely
touch other fwd. It la when their
normal food Is scarce that predatory
birds and animals aro from necessity
forced to take what they can And and
thus become trespasser on man's
property.
The coyote and great honied owl In
rabbit infested regions and In vine
yards, orchards, meadows or gardens
overrun by Held mice are among the
tiest friends of man, hut on the other
hand In tlilckly settled regions com
paratively free from rabbits and mice
both have to be summarily dealt with,
as does the coyote In sections where
sheep raising Is an Important Indus
try. The mink Is Indefatigable In Its
search for meadow mice and other
marsh loving rodent. The weasel,
while Individually It has acquired the
poultry habit, Is one of nature's most
efficient checks upon the hordes of
meadow mice and other rodent crop
destroyers. The skunk renders impor
tant service by destroying Immense
numbers of mice, white grubs, grass
hoppers, crickets, cutworms, hornet,
waapa and other noxious forms. The
badger Is valuable In destroying
ground squirrels, prairie dogs, gophers
and other burrowing animals, and
farmers should bear in mind that
hawks and owls feed largely on nox
ious rodents and the larger Insects,
such as grasshoppers, cricket and
May beetles. There are two kinds of
hawks that should be kept in check
namely, the sharp skinned and Coop
er variety, which feed almost entirely
on wild birds and poultry.
