The clerk'g ledger balanced and he has regularly taken a trial balance. Matter on Last Report We call your attention to our report filed March 9. in regard to fees collected short in circuit and probate courts; none of these fees have been collected. At the time this report was filed many of these cases were not closed and practically all should have been collected. The Circuit Court's judgment roll in the clerk's office is badly in need of being properly filed. In order for the clerk to fix this up in proper shape as provided by law, he should have another section of vertical files where he could number his judgment roll and file it permanently, as required. We have gone over the matter very carefully with Mr. Hansen. Discrepancies in Filing Fees Collected in Circut Court Cases We have charged the clerk where the statutory fee ig entirely omitted but not in cases where the case would call for a larger fee than that collect ed, in most cases the difference may yet be collected from the litigators. Road Supervisors' Orders Your present method of handling su pervisors' orders on General Road Fund is not altogether a satisfactory one to our mind, inasmuch as these slips or orders are presented to and paid by the local banks and are ne gotiable and because these orders are paid before the bill covered by the same has been audited by the County Court, it woud not require a clever person to raise or duplicate some of these and a good-sized steal might be perpetrated before being detected. S me of these are drawn with lead pencil. While we have not audited these disbursements, we notice in passing some paid in 1913; one was drawn recently for an amount con tracted in 1911. We think your present method might be improved upon by having a weekly pay roll sent in with the reg ular supervisors' order attached to the county judpe, who should audit the same, countersign the order and return the order and payroll to the supervisor for delivery to payee. It Floors Like New Marred and worn floors arc hard to clean and hard to keep clean. I lalf an hour's work with the paint brush changes your old shabby floors into new floors that arc easy to keep clean and hard to wear out. ACME QUALITY FLOOR PAINT (GRANITE) is the best floor paint to use. It is made especially to be walked upon, is redely for use, easy to put on you can do it yourself and dries quickly. A quart will corcr about 75 square feet, two coats. Ask for a copy of our "Home Decorating" booklet.- It tells you all about the use of paints, enamels, stains' and finishes in the home, E. A. BRANZ COMPANY Powder made Cream of Tartar would also be well to have the person receiving the order sign the pay roll as a receipt for the same. The law provides that no money shall be paid by the county treasurer until the same has been audited by the county court and a recent decision by the attorney general upholds this law. We also have to suggest that it would be a good idea to instruct the road vsuper- visor to make these orders out in ink or copying pencil. It would be well also to pass an order limiting the amount for which these blue slips will be honored, limiting to any amount your honorable body shall see fit. We should think f 25 the limit and would furnish eacn bank a copy of the order when entered on the Commissioners' Journal. We suggest you have each super visor furnish an inventory to the county clerk of all material and tools in their possession on January 1, 1S13, and require the supervisor to furnish your court a statement of all tools bought and sold or transferred at the end of December each year hereafter. In Regard to State Tax Inasmuch as the state tax has to be met from the county general fund and where enough collections have not been made to cover the amount due, we think it would be advisable for the clerk and treasurer to carry all taxes collected for county, general and state tax in one account in their ledgers and have the necessary amount trans ferred from the general fund to a state tax fund account before remittance is made to state treasurer. In Regard to Delinquent Taxes The sheriff has proved himself a very able tax collector, having clean ed up much of the old delinquent mat ter on the 1902, 19D3, 1904, 1905, 196, 19ii7 and 1908 rolls..

ROBERTS & SIMMS. 22tfc OREGON NEWS NOTES OF GENERAUNTEREST Events Occurring Throughout the State During the Past Week. Armed Men Defy State. Malheur. An armed forci of water us. rs of the Jamieson and Brogan Ir rigation districts gathered at reservoir No. 3 of the Willow river, and prevent ed Warren Keeder. state water master, from raising the gates and releasing the water, as had been ordered by the state board of control, in upholding the ancient riparian rights of early set'lers. The water users declared the action would have meant irrepar able damage and almost total ruin to the lower country. Fatal Auto Accident Near Pendleton. Pendleton One was killed and three were badly injured on the Athena Weston road near the Dudley place, when an automobile carrying four res idents of Milton and Helix, Or., skid ded, crashed off the side of the road and turned a complete somersault. The dead: Leslie Edwards of Mil ton. The injured: Carl Engdahl, may or of Helix; Guy Smith, of Helix; Clarence Shuel, chauffeur, of Helix. LIMIT KLAMATH PROJECT Government Expected to Complete Present Work But Not Extend It. Washington. There Is serious ques tion whether the government ever will reincorporate in the Klamath irriga tion project about 90,000 acres of land that were eliminated after the project wjas first adopted, either because of excessive cost of irrigation or because of the doubtful success of irrigation due to peculiar soil conditions. The probabilities are that the project will be completed according to present plans, and then stopped, at least until the development of the country justi fies an expenditure of about $60 an acre for irrigation. At the hearings had before Secre tary Lane, it developed that the gov ernment went into the Klamath coun try with the intention of building a project that would reclaim in the neighborhood of 160,000 acres. After the w ork was well under way, the high lands, where the cost of Irrigation will be in excess of the! department's views, were dropped out and about the same time the lower Klamath lake unit was dropped because of the discovery of a prevalence of black alkali, which made that portion of the land suitable only for the growing of grasses. Oregon Lands Restored to Entry. Portland. President Wilson restor ed to entry 75,000 acres In eastern try 73,000 acres of land in eastern Oregon that had been withdrawu on the presumption that it contained valu able deposits of oil. Investigations by the geological survey showed that while small quantities of gas exist. It is not of commercial importance and only slight traces of oil have been found. Captives Beat Sheriff. Roseburg. Attacked by three pris oners as he entered the county Jail to feed the inmates. Sheriff George Quine was struck over the head with a stick of stove wood and painfully injured. According to Sheriff Quine, he waa handing a basket of food to the prison ers through a partly opened door of the jail, when John McDevitt grabbed him by the hand and pulled him with in the cage. Eugene Smith then grasp ed the officer from behind and held him while Stanley Gilbert struck him a violent blow over the head. OCEAN RESCUE THRILLING Port Orford Men Saved Seven Miles Out to Sea. Marshfield. After their boat had turned completely over four times on Rogue river bar and they had been washed out to sea, where their water logged craft was rolling over like a barrel, Fred Silver, 29, and W. D. Weinegar, 24, of Port Orford, were the principals in a thrilling rescue off the i mouth of the Rogue river. Silver was nearly overcome from cold and ex posure and would have been able to have held on only a short time longer when Captain Johnson and the Bandon life-saving crew reached them and brought them to safety. Silver and Weinegar built an Impro vised sailboat for fishing and started from Port Orford to Gold Heach, off Rogue river reef. They had sand for ballast and the little craft had a heavy list that caused her to turn over three times, the single mast breaking when she capsized the last time. This left the fishermen at the mercy of the tide and they drifted out to sea. The telephone line was (low a and parties on shore who had witnessed th-lr disaster were unable to send word to the llandon life saving station, their only hope. Finally, by retting word to Crescent City, the wireless was used and the life-saving crew called.

Luther McCarty, white heavyweight champion of the world, took the count of 10 from Referee Ed Smith, 'which marked him the loser in the 10-round fight with Arthur Pel- key, and eight minutes later was dead. His death was caused by a chance blow, exactly one minute and 45 sec onds after the fight began. Athur Pelkey was arrested on the charge of manslaughter by the north westerp mounted police, and later re leased oil bail. Referee Smith separated the men during a clinch and both Bquared off. Suddenly McCarty was seen to double up In "a crouching attitude. To the spectators It looked simply as a fight ing pose. He crouched lower anl low er, however, and his eyes rolling; then he collapsed and fell full length on the floor. The referee, assuming that McCarty had been knocked out, stood over him to count off the seconds. Arthur Pel key stood at one side of his fallen adversary. He scarcely realized what had happened. By this time the referee had become alarmed and called for a doctor. The physicians worked over the stricken man for eight minutes, when they pronounced him dead, but continued their efforts for more than an hour.
