rt's Report Continued Bhtrtff. I have examined the tax rolls, receipts, tax registers and treasury record, covering the time of this report, November 15th, 1907 to January I, 1911, and find that during that time J. H. Ross has made the follow ing collections: 1901 Taxes $ 54 17 1902 Taxes 147 83 1903 'luxes 015 05 1904 Taxes 635 30 . 1905 Taxes 697 24 1906 Taxes 3650 37 1907 Taxes 51999 19 1908 Taxes.; 68901 68 1909 Taxes." 84470 73 Milage and fees for deeds 161 90 Statutory sales 544 52 Total amounts collected 211877 98 These amounts have all been paid into the treasury, regularly as collected. On account, I suppose, of the large number of funds involved, 1 mean the different accounts, the deposits from old rolls have not been Iaid once a month, but at longer periods, usually three to six months, lut the active-cash collections have been deposited regularly. The sheriff has paid to the treasury, included in the above amounts, the following items In excetu-of lhe money belonging lo the county. Viz: Item 1 8 7 22 over payment on receipt No. 918, year 1908. Item 2 3 55 on Cert. Del. No. 3, 1907, twice deposited. Item 3 5 12 on tax ledger 1907, page 35. Item 4 12 02 on receipt 2363 also deposited as cert. No. 2. Item 10 61 cents on Redem. 181, year 1901. The sheriff claims he is entitled to these amounts as excess pay ments. I report the item!, the court can, on the presentation of a claim for the amounts, if made, ascertain if he is entitled to them or not. The sheriff in issuing certificates of delinquency discovered, aftor hav ing issued 81 such certificates, that the law of 1907 required him to col lect also costs on the certificate of 50 cents each. Subsequent certificates have had included such costs. The certificates show that the costs were not collected, or, at least, they do not show any costs collected, and the sheriff and bis assistants say that the costs as above were not collected. I report the fact of these certificates not showing costs collected, nor deposited . This examination is, I believe, the third time I'have audited the books of Sheriff Ross. If I were going to point out a model set of tax collection books, bis is the office I should refer to, as I have many times lone. Mr. Ross was a blacksmith and he has made his record on the .same lines he would weld iron, solid. A number of other sheriffs, more or less at eea with their bookkeeping, have, at my suggestion, adopted ihc system of Mr. Ross, and except for one thing, this system is as per fect as c;m be made under the present tax laws of Oregon. His system does not show a continuous, daily tax record. A daily cash record. He is compelled to keep the record continuously in the books for the years for which payments arc made, owing to our peculiar tax laws in the matter of distribution of taxes collected. This mages it impossible to keep a daily cash book, en -bodying also the legal distribution, where he is collecting on many different rolls. But lie could keep a daily cash book, showing only the actual amount paid in, from whom, when, receipt number, and this in addition to the other ledger items. It would also serve to make an auto matic check 6n all the other ledger entries, and I would recommend his successor to keep a daily cash book, in addition to these yearly tax regis ters. Otherwise, how is he or anyone t j know at a glance, what cash is on hand, an important thing for botli tho court and Sheriff to always know. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH H. WILSON Taken from Report of Clerk Wade.

Wealth in Oregon streams, as well as in the fertile soil of the Beaver state, is shown by the figures of the annual take of salmon in Oregon waters, chiefly the Columbia River. A total of 290,000 cases, 35,000,000 pounds, was packed during the past year, having a value of $3,500,000. Eugene boosters will build a home for their commercial club. The club will incorporate and issue bunds, -iv:ullll6 .1 five ui ol-v otuij building for their quarters and leas ing such surplus space as there may be. The Eugene club is very much alive, having lately added a large number of members and a big pro motion fund is now being raised. A project to create a reserve for mule tail deer in the lava bed region of Klamath County h;s been started and the matter will be brought to the attention of President Taft. Op position has developed, however, on the part of sheepmen who want to retain the lava bed country for Win ter range. They contend the deer reserve should be created in the mountains nearby. Thousands of pounds of black walnuts and acorns are being ship ped by the Government from Arkan sas to District Forester Chapman of Portland to be distributed for seed throughout the burned-over forest areas of the Pacific Northwest. For est rangers will take charge of plant ing the seed and within the next quarter century it is expected Ore gon will have great quantites of hard woods available for furniture making and other uses. Portland proposes to celebrate Dewey day May 1, 1911, in a man ner long to be remembered. The cruiser Boston, -which is credited with having fired the first gun in the Spanish-American war, will be in the harbor, acting as a training ship for the Oregon Naval Reserve, and the same gun that fired on the Span iards in Manila Bay will boom out a salute to Admiral Dewey. That great sea fighter is to be invited to attend the Portland celebration. President Atwell of the State Hor ticultural Society has issued a call for a convention of fruit growers and fruit shipping associations of the Pacific Northwest to meet at Port land January 24. The convention will consider the organization of a fruit growers central selling agency and also decide what attitude shall be taken toward apple box legislation. It is proposed to model the associ ation on the citrus fruit growers' organizations of California and lim it it to the boxed apple trade. It will include Western Montana and Western Colorado, which, witli the Pacific Northwest, grow practically all the boxed apples of the country. Better distribution of apples, provi ding against glut in some markets and scant supply in others, are the prime objects of the association. The convention, coming as it does the week following the meeting of the Washington Horticultural Asso ciation at Prosser on January 17, will probably attract some attention from that body. President Atwell and others will go to Prosser and speak before the Washington orchar dists on the proposed association. , TOLEDO MARKET - wuv n ug M MW, 1 ivf A WU 1 VI Predncs in the Toledo Mar ket.
