The discovery mat a warrant indebtedness of 1144.000 existed In Clackamas county Instead of liu.ooo, has been the theme of much comment. When John J. Cooke made His last race for sheriff" on the Demo cratlc ticket he declared in every pre cinct in tne county that the indebted ness or the county would reach near J 50.000 Instead of f 100.000. as was then believed, and this was one of his stronar factors In the campaign. He was hooted at by the opposition, however, who da clared that he knew nothing about it. i now develops that he was better In formed than the whole crowd who were seeking to force their way into office n connection with his semi-annual re port the county clerk has issued the following letter to the publio: Aa Bxplanatloa. Tn presenting thla summary of actual nd true conditions, financially of tho county. I desire to set before the nub- ic what appears to me to be the rea sons why such a discrepancy exists In the slstement herewith submitted and hose that have previously been Issued from this office, for, while during the Ix months ending September 30, 1903. the expenditures have been much less than for any preceding six months, the warrant indebtedness being reduced some 118.000 with the interest due on same, the true net indebtedness is much greater than was set out in previous re ports. This has arisen from some cleri cal errors heretofore made, where credit was given for warrants canceled, which were already accounted for, but is due more especially from the methods pur sued for years in this office of taking account of balances of warrants out standing, as returned and set out in the report of the county officers as a correct basis from which to work. In place of making an actual and complete compila tion of the warrants outstanding and amounts due on same, which before making this report has been done by considerable time and labor, in both the office of the county treasurer and county clerk, thereby arriving at a true and correct sum of the net indebtedness of the county. The habit or practice of submitting the amounts of warrants redeemed. In cluding Interest paid on same without segregating and setting out the amount of interest paid, has led to giving credit to warrants redeemed to the full amount and therefore .been the cause of under estimating the amount of outstanding warrants. In the future, or during my continu ance in this office, this misleading prac tice will be cut out and methods more easily understood adopted. Respectfully submitted. . - F."

The county commissioners' court at today session tefused to pay to the city the amount assessed against the c6unty for the new sewer recently constructed alongside ths court house and the county parka. The amount of the county's assessment is 1 111.38. The reason given by the court for this action is that the county has no use for the new sewer and that it does not benefit the county In the lesst. Th court house, the county Jail and the county rest cottage were previously con nected with another sewer. All 'these connections are permanent, and the court cannot see that the- county will ever have occasion to use the new sewer, It is ssid that the city may now sue the county to force the payment of Its assessment, but City Attorney Wll Hams, who Is busy with other cases in he clrcnlt oourt, which .is now in ses sion- here, has not yet had time to de vote any attention to the case.

Grain ship pers and others In the Northwest are awaiting with considerable Interest a de cision in the case of the Cannon Falls Elevator company against the Great Western and Milwaukee roads, which came up for hearing here today before the interstate commerce commission. It Is alleged in the complaint that the pres ent grain rates from Cannon Falls to market points are unequal. While the rate on grain. It is alleged, is but IB cents from Cannon Falls to Chicago, and 7 cents from Cannon Falls to Minneapo lis, the through, rate from Minneapolis to Chicago, a longer haul, are but 7 V4 cents. The complaint cites rye an an example and alleges that because of the rate to Chicago it is unable to get a foot hold en the Louisville market, which takes an immense quantity of rye an nually, and would be glad to have South ern Minnesota grain if it could be put down there on an even basis with that which takes the through rate. There Is nothing like perseverance, believes Deputy District i Attorney Adams who has thrice prosecuted Harry Davis for assault and battery. At ths third trlaVJesterday Davis was found guilty, auhough the first two Juries failed to agree. The Jury yesterday took 10 minutes to convict the young man.
