Me Bride, Judge of the above entitled Court : We, your undersigned Grand Ju ry for the Nov., 1S96 tern of said court, beg leave to present this, our iiuul report, and respectful') represent that we have carefully - investigated all charge of crime presented to us or within the knowledge of either of us and have re turned into this court 18 true bills and 5 not true hills. . We visited the county poor farm and found il well kept and in nood condition, Hut would recommend that the dining room ol said poor farm be not used for a sitting .mil smoking room by the in mates ilwrol. And we would further recommend that the graves upon said poor farm be in some maimer fenced for 1 heir protection. . We have visited the county jail and the same dees not in any manner meet our approval, and we would respectfully recommend that a new jail be built at this time, for the reason that building material and labor are cheap, and a new jail building would not at this time, cost nearly as much us the same building would have cost two or three years ago. lint we find said present jail as well kept, and in as good condition at the present time as the facilities thereof will permit. That we called to our assistance, as experts, N. Macruui and William Moore to examine accounts ol the uilkTciU county olliduls. who have made report to us that they have found them correct urn! with balance on hand as per state ment made to ns by them, .which state ment is annexed to this repjrt, and made a part therof , We have visited the offices of the County Clerk, Sheriff. Recorder of Con veyances, Treasurer, Assessor and Sur veyor, nd found the books of all the said officials neatly and pioperly kept with the exception of the County Treas urer, and we recommend that the Coun tv Treasurer start allof his accouiitsanew, from Ian. tst.and that thereafter he bal ance all of his accounts the first of every month, and be more caretul in regard to errors of charging sums to the wrong ac counts, and charging accounts with wrong amounts. We found all of the county officials courteous and kind, and also find new systems and methods arc in rise in the different offices, w hich improve and aid officers to expedite business of the coun ty. ,. Ami now, having completed our labor aftera session of idays.we most respect fully ask your Honor to tie discharged. Dated this 15th day of Dec, 1896. J. R. Bailev, Foreman, and D B Roe. C L Rosander, V. H Pur diu, l'rank Sell, W S Ingles and J I Wa rner. - '" The experts report of the Treas urer's office is not very exhaustive and the debits and credos, when balanced, do not correspond with the amount of cash oi hand. Ac cording to these, the 'Treasurer h;is on Wnd $1034 mete than there is demand. The cb on hand, how ever,eorrespoiij with the cash book and is, viz 2915.4S in the bank and 432.20 in warrants the equivalei'of cash. In a few words, at tho ti'iie of experling, the Treas urer hvil on hand, cash, lp2!J15.4H, the came balancing with his cash booi';. but the amounts to the cred it of the several funds show only $2313.63. This leaves a discrepancy of of $1034 so far ns the total of the funds isconcerued. . The figure bal ance which is not there was not found by the experts as thev sim ply struck off a copy of the Treas urer's receipts and disbursements. The public will remember that the County treasurer Iiob accounted for every dollar of his keeping. The trouble is,- the balances to the ered it of all funds, footed, show $1034 lees than the actual cash (in hand, so, if 'he charges and credits made ly the experts lie correct, Mr. t,ady would have 11 drawdown of that amouiit.,. But as his cash book bal ances with cash on hand the trou ble is not proper credit to account or accounts. Tho experts should have found out to which Particular fund thin ?10."M nhould be credited. The botdtH of the Treasurer's olliee badly need systematizing and there would be no trouble.

By this balancing the countv fund will be swelh'd to about double the amount the experts have charged against the Treasurer in their report. The Treasurer is now remodeling his books and will take bis balances as left by the former comity treasurer and make a set of entirely new ac counts. Mr. Only seemed very willing to help'THE Akgub and pro duced vouchers and stubs for all cheeks and receipts, which tally with the various other 'nttics and bis own accounts. The only trouble was in the general fund and the er rors made could easily have been made by those who claim to be good business men. Of course be feels the censure given him by the grand jury, as would any one. 1'h' experts, the Treasurer ihiirk. did lint treat him exactly right, and he .-eerns to think that they did not understand iheir business quite as well as they should, or they would have told to which fund the $1034 should have been credited. Mr. Cady says his books are open to any reputable citizen and he invites inspection. Heat least ' has the. satisfaction of having kept his cash account in excellent order. Creamery Burned. ' Last Thursday evening, about midnight, the South Tualatin Creamery was burned, eillaijinga Iocs in the neighborhood of $2000 to the owners. The fire was the re sult of a defective flue,.' which that dav had set the wall on fire. This was extinguished, or .was. thought to have been, and the Hue repaired. Some iye coal must have been slumbering in the siil, or wall, fi nally breaking into- a blaze, with the loss of the building' The cream ery was daily making about 200 lbs. ol butter and while, the owners are rebuilding, which is now . under way, the patrons will - take their milk to the Fahninglnii institution. In about three weeks the new build ing will be ready for business. Messrs. Kd.

It is of interest to nil taxpayers to have some idea of the county's standing relative to its debits and credits, and Thk Anatis, hav ing been importuned by some of its subscribers, has made some inquiry into I he hooks of the various offices and lipds, barring slight errors and and omissions, the following eon- lition: (round numbers) The county had warrants outstanding and or Jcred drawn, Dec. 11, 1890, in the .1... 1 -.Mv 1. .1 . sum 01 .Tol.ow. 11 owes uie state 011 baclv tax, $7.1-13.08, exclu -ive of interest. To onset this int erest hearing debt, as neurits could ba ascertained, there was about $1200 in the hands of thu treasurer which could be applied.

The county holds tax titlu deeds to several hundred dol lar's worth of tux lands, probably lets than $o00. Tho gieater part of t'nis, especially where the lots or laiidn are worth more than tho tax es and costs against them, will h? redeemed before the three years will havv expired. The state tax for 18'.)G Hould have practically been liquidated but for the apnii"-, cation of a remittance of $(1700 to thu old back taxe of several years ago. The reWttfince was made with tho intent by applying same to the ' tax, but it 110 special re quest was made, the state treasurer applied it to the old inoVhtedue. The legislature may tl'is winter pass a relief bill remitting the old indebtedness of the several counties by virtue of the old mortgage tax law, a::d if it do, this county may be able to get the sum mentioned applied on the 1896 tax. ,As th.. matter now stands, IState treasurer Mtlscbam last spring wrote Mr. Sappiligton the credit would lot i changed.

Sixty Dollars Refunded. This paper last week published an account of the employment by the grand jury. of two experts to check up the county books and their receipt of double the implied contract price by misapprehension. According to the jurors who spoke to the analytical accountants, $2.50 per day . each was to have been paid.' When the bill was audited by thu grand jury's foreman, the word "each" was overlooked and as a result the county paid $120 and mileage for 24 days labor instead of $60 and mileage." The Argus was subjected to considerable criticism for having made the mutter public but it gave both sides a hearing in the article and has nothing to retract Subsequent to the publication each of the experts refunded $30.00, if re ports are true, and the matter has been satisfactorily settled. The af fair caused a great deal of comment ns all parties concerned were quite prominent. The matter of amount per diem for such work has been discussed by many lately and it is hard to find a business ni who will say lhaO$5 00pef day is too much for competent work of this kind. This does not enter into the merits of this cuB3, if, as the grand jurors as sert, a specific amount was agreed upon. -Richard Connell was in I In eity Tuesday and reports that Con uell Bros, have not sold their wheat yet.
