United Htate Attorney McCourt
ha received a letter from the Depart
ment of Justice, transmitting thn peti
tion for the pardon of Henry Meldrum,
and directing him lo Investigate tho
ground for pardon set forth therein.
Meldrum was convicted November 17,
1U04, on 21 count of an Indictment
returned by the Federal Grand Jury,
charging him, whllo United State
Burveyor-Oeneral for Oregon, with
forging 18 application for the sur
vey of public land In Ilarney County
presumed to have been signed by ac
tual settlors residing In the township.
On July 6, 1906, Judge W'olverton
sentenced Meldrum to 1080 days' Im
prisonment un McNeil Island and to
pay a line of f 5200. In February. 1307
the Circuit Court of Appeal denied
Meldrum's application for a new trial
and on May 18 of that year he wa
sent lo tho Government prison, where
he ha been conllnvd ever since.
The ground for pardon are that
tho (iovernment wa not defrauded
In money or land by Meldrum's act
or that ho personally profiled thereby,
and that the sentence Imposed waa ex
ceaslve a compared to those Indict
ed on other defendants In the Oregon
land fraud cage. Attention wa dl
reeled to the fact that out of all those
heretofore convicted for offenses of
tho character Indicated, Meldrum was
tho only one to Buffer Incarceration In
the (Iovernment prison at McNeils
Island, and this la pointed out a one
of thn Injustice of his punishment
Practically all the county officials o
thl county, where Meldrum formerly
realded, signed the petition, and testl
lied to having had business relations
with him for many years preceding
his conviction, and found him lo be
honorable In hi transactions.

DO YOU OWN A HYOMEI INHALER?
If you have a little Hyoniel Inhaler
(pronounced Hlgh-o-me) In your home
you have a treasure.
Into this hard rubber Inhaler you
can pour a few drops of Hyomel and,
presto, you have the best utile pnysi
clan for catarrh, coughs, colds, bron
chltis, croup and asthma, the world
has ever known.
When you breathe Hyomel you bring
the healing virtues of the mountain
ous forests to your home. You get
the very same healing, antiseptic air
that you would breathe If you resided
In tho forests of pine and eucalyptus
of Inland Australia, where catarrh or
consumption was never known to ex
ist,, . i
If you havo a Hyomel Inhaler In
your home, get a bottle of Hyomel for
50 cents.
If you have not nn Inhaler, ask for
a complete outfit, which costs but $1
and Includes an Inhaler, a bottle of
Hyomel, and simple instruction for
use.
Hyomel Is sold and guaranteed by
Huntley Uros. Co. to cure catarrh,
asthma or bronchitis, or money back.
It will relieve a cold In Ave minutes,
and will break It up In five hours. It
gives most gratifying relief to con
sumption sufferers, and is sold by
leading druggists everywhere.
Do You Drink?
And whnt do you drink? Breakfast
Coffee or Breakfast Tea? A strong
after-dinner Coffee Is Just the thing
some big, robust men like for their
breakfast, but Vve wouldn't ordinarily
give It to yon for breakfast unless
you asked for It. Some people
wouldn't use It at all one woman
told us Unit It Is "black as Ink and
strong as lye." ' That Is stretching It
a bit, but it 1b, as a matter of fact,
real, genuine, black Coffee.
Tastes differ, and we have a fine
selection of the best roasted berries
to fit them all. We carry Costa RIc-

July warrant called for C0 and is
numbered No. 22242.
The said Fred J. Nelson resigned at
the July term, 1907, James F. Nelson
receipted for all of these warrants ex
cept the one at the May term and
Ella Shaver receipted for this, or the
one numbered 21911. It would ap
pear from the accompanying letter
from the county clerk of Clatsop
County. Oregon, that the said Fred J.
Nelson was working in Astoria while
he was drawing salary here In Clack
amas County. The letter of J. C.
Clinton, clerk of Clatsop County, Is
hereto appended, and made a part of
this report.
Poll tax Is no longer collected by
the assessor and so he bad no funds
to turn over to the treasurer.
Fines Imposed by the several Jus
tices of 'the pesce seem to have been
promptly paid though I did not give
this matter much time, as I was hard
pressed to find time to do what I have
done.
Roads and Road Fund.
I append a list of the several road
districts In the county and the amount
spent In each during 1908 It amounts
to about 145,000 for the entire county.
Overtime.
Quite an amount of overtime has
been allowed the different clerks, but
owing to my limited time I have not
made a list of It.
Increase of Salaries.
Chief deputy sheriff gets $75 per
month and chief deputy in the other
offices get 70 per month, save that
of the county treasurer, and she gets
140.
Lack of Room.
The sheriff, clerk and recorder each
needs more room. The Increase in
the busluess of the county has grown
to such dimensions that more room
must be given these offices very soon.
Bills Not Itemized.
I note that many of the bills are
not properly Itemized. Even the bills
of Commissioners Klllen and Lewellen
were not itemized as ihey should have
State tax
School tax
accompanying the bills to show that
the money bad been spent.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. HACKJSTT.
