The early days of the legisla ture do not promise well for the desired economy. Already by the action of populists and the republican followers of the noto rious Simon, the people of Ore gon have been unnecessarily tax edseveral hundred dollars by an unpardonable delay in the organ ization of the house. The senate seems to be anxious and determined to lop off expense and Simon is careful that the odium for any legislative extrav agance falls on the house: There are active, wide awake and pub lic spirited gentlemen on the low er floor "and they may be able to guide legislation in the best in-, terest of the state. . .. But they will have to do so against the opposi tion of Simon republicanism and the moving' spirit of populism.: Some populists seem disposed to break the chain of bossism that has so far bound them, and live up in a measure ' to their cam paign pledges. The people have grown very tired of the biennial farce "legis lative economy," as played at Salem, and in these days when they keenly feel any additional burden of taxation, they will be quick to discern the real offenders and be ready to punish. BENTON COUNTY'S DEBT. County Clerk Watters Reports to the County Court that Benton's Indebtedness Exceeds Sixty Seven Thousand Dollars. The demand of President Mil ler, that a literary personage be ' placed in charge of the college printing department, is a unique a. -confession of the literary deficien : ; .cy in some members of the fac """ttlty. - ;A good printer is a'godd - speller and comprehends ttre or dinary rules of grammar, but the Dossession "of these attainments can hardly, entitle one to be called a literary-man, and in an institu tion of learning,' where the copy is all furnished by professors, it would seem that the prime re quisite of the printer wQuld be mere mechanical ability. According- to President Miller, the printing office should be chaired with title of "General. Supervi sor of the Faculty's English. He is doubtless right in thinking that such supervision is necessary but would not the wiser reform be i ':' the changing: of the faculty ? Mr. Miller could not have intended his confession to- apply to all the faculty, for several of the profess-,- ors cannot be criticised in this respect He, however, can speak authoritatively for one. Several weeks ago the Gazette informed its readers that the county debt, including interest on outstanding warrants, was up wards of $70,000. That the statement of this paper was correct is verified by the report made by Mr. Watters to the" county court last Friday. The findings of Mr. Wilson while examining the ex-sheriff's accounts, unearthed some peculiarities, or rather , jrregularities, in the county affairs that 'plainly ' evidenced the' fact that Benton -. , , 1 iUrnn 4n11oi-c itinrp trian wai o-pnerallv SUn- was in aeut sevciai uiuumuu j posed. .-These findings, together with" the Gazettte's figures, created considerable talk about town,' and,- as a:result the court requested Mr. Watters to .make a complete examination of the records and report the exact- condjtibnlpf ;affai;;. Aftetrseyera weeks spent in the examination, Mr. Watters repoYted the totaV' afebt 'Jahua'rV i, 1897, to be $67,203.81. There are some interesting facts brought out bv the report and it Ts'publfshed below in full. .-- To The Honorable County Court? of Benton Co. Or.

According to Chas, who is a royal good ' lei low, and whose varacty- cau not be called into question, a gentlfeman living at Astoria. built a small steam launch to ply the waters of I he-lower Columbia. The craft was exquisitely fitied,:iipf and was designed 10 be a world beater lof speed.-'-'-'-'lhie o.w ner I yk great pride 1 it her building, $nd when about completed coitceiveu the idea of tilting her with amoii ster steam whittle, expecting to put io ebAiiie evpry "vesseljSon he river.

But it is given here only , lor the purpose ot more plainly showing how and where the differences between the clerk's exhibit and my findings occur. As will: be seen, the princi ple difference is in Ihe iexhibits of 1889-90 and 1890-91, where the outstanding warrants are given as $44,246.43 and $39,353-6l in realitv thev were . ;70. ?o and Ssi,7b2.a3, respectively, Dy my findings.

The next greatest difference occurs in the exhibit of July 1, J95 w?,re there is an error.oi 52,000 in sud traction. The other errors are by incorrectly; enteripg warrants on retnster. etc.. etc. - - o ' ' . . . . . . 1 r . 1 - I then disregarded air ot the above ancrtooK tne scuds 01 au war rants drawn frow Tulv 1. 1886 to January 1, 1897, and corrected the register of warrants thereof. I then took all of the ' warrants that have -been paid since said day, July 1, 1886, and that are now in the clerk's olhce and compared tnem witn tne register, ana saw tuai iucy were properly checked thereon. I hereby find the true debt of Benton county in outstanding war rants,' January'!, 1897,, to be,as follows: ' " Warrants issued prior to July 1. 1886, still outstanding $ 61.65 " since July 1,' 1886, and still outstanding--68,684.35 :Tlie-outcome of the investiga tidn of ex-Sheriff Osburn's books is a law suit. Several mwrtlis ago the county court employed JL J3.; Wilson ;to expert the bo(ks ol(' the retiring sheriff and, after a couple of .months' work, Mr. Wil son reported ' that iair apparent shortage of $8,608.75' was lou nd in Mr. ; Osburn's accounts. Not being satisfied with the expert's findings, Mr. Osburn employed County Clerk Watters and J. L Ripley to check over Mr. Wilson's report, and the result of their work has not. yet been, made pub lic. . It has been currently report ed, however, that Mr. Watters' report . did, not ,, differ malerrttlly from that of Mr. Wilson, althongli Mr. Osbura - claims, that v. whatever discrepancies, .there may, be be tween the- two reports- is a matter to be settled by the courts and seems certain that a' suit will re suit in his favor: . Fronj a member of the county court, it is learned that at one time a plan' 01 settlement . was practically agreed upon, whereby the court was to appoint an expert and Mr. Osburn to select another and together they were, to go over the books and their" findings were to be the basis of ari amicable' ad justment of the matter. In this way expensive litigation ' would have been avoide'di'but for $bhie reason or other, their plan was hot pertected. . . . Mr. Wilson -..jhadeT' his rpbrt some three months; ago and the court has beeq expecting for some time to affect ra ' settlement ."'with Mr.- Osburn,, but he finally con cluded that a law suit was , the only, proper course to pursqe in the premises and. as a result,' the court at its last meeting made the following order: . " "In the matter of claims due Benton county from D. A; Osburn it is ordered ny the court that le gal proceedings be commenced against D. A. Osburn and : his bondsmen, as sheriff and tax col lector, to recover whatever amount there is due the 'said cdunty from D. A. Osburn and W. S.
