days and more than 300 Indictments
were returned.
In making Its final report the
grand Jury endorses the
district attorney In employing a de
tective to s.rure evidence of viola
tions of the prohibition law, but In
timates that this would not have been
mcessary if all officers of the county
had bi-en as diligent in enforcing thin
law as thiy are In enforcing others.
Among the recommendations made
Is that the grand Jury room be fur
nished with cushioned chairs for the
usf of the ni'-rrbers of the srand Jury
In future. Also that the sheriff be
furnished witli a list of those per
sons who have been fined but have
failed to piy their fines and that such
prisons be made to pay or be Im
prisoned.
A Complete It7Mrt.
The following Is the report in detail:
In the circuit court of the state of
Oregon, for Umatilla county
In the matter of the final report of
the grand Jury, September term,
The grand Jury drawn and impan
eled at the regular September term
of this court having completed Its
work, requests that It bo discharged.
On account of the prent number 'it
cases presented to us and requiring
our consideration we have been in
session 11 day and have examined a
great numner or witnesses and re
turned Into court n great many true
bills and a few not true bills, al' f
which will appear In detail from tha
records of the court In addition to
those cases reported to the court we
have made careful examination Into a
great many other matters presented to
lis for our consideration and have
called before us many witnesses, but
the result of our deliberations has not
been reported to the court in each
account of the numerous violations of . convenience of a grand Jury be placed
arrests being, in the grand Jury room before the
next term of the circuit court, ana
that cushioned chairs be also provid
ed for the members of grand Juries.
We have paid a visit to the county
ioor farm where the Indigent poor
are kept and have no recommenda
tions to make. We find the place
well managed and the Inmates well
cared for.
Xo Demand for Statement.
We think there is no public demand
that a detailed financial statement be
published by the county court as Is
being done at the present time. We
think tills Is an .exticnse which mluhfl
be saved to the taxpayers because
each person at all times during office
hours may make a personal examina
tion of the public records of the coun
ty and ascertain for themselves Just
where each dollar of the county funds
Is spent, and we believe the officers
of the county In charge of such mat
ters will extend to any person interest
ed Information sufficient to Inform
him of the exact financial condition of
the county at any time.
We are reliably Informed that sue,
itemized statement Is published In
but one or two counties in the state
of Oregon and If there is no law to
compel such publication In other
counties of the state, we see no rea
son why the county court of Umatilla
county should feel obliged to incur
this expense. We make this recom
mendation not In criticism of the
county court because we understand!
that such court Is In accord with the
views herein expressed by this grand
Jury.
IIiihIiichs Unfinished.
During the time we have ben In
session we have endeavored to give
all public questions our most earnest
and carefull consideration. Some

In this connection, however, we be
lieve that if ail of the officers of the

ictlon of the ' ' s ,c l,,e consmera-
uon to ine enforcement of this law
that they would to the enforcement of!
any other statute that there will be
no necessity for employing outside
assistance.
In these eases on account of the
mass of testimony presented to us we
have seen fit to return indictments
only in those cases against these de
fendant wh.-re there could be no pos
sible excuse for a trial Jury to fail to
convict, believing that a conviction up
on all of such cases will be sufficient
imitation to those persons who have
made It a business to violate such law
of the consideration they are apt to
receive in the future If they continue
to persist in defying the expressed will
of the people of this county.
Offlec IJookq All Might.
We have made the usual hurried
examination of the different oflces
in the county, but like other grand
Juries in the past, we have not seen
fit to employ an expert to go over the
different records, hut we nre perfect
ly satisfied with the condition. .
Another Suspect Arrested.
A. W. Jennings has been arrested by
Deputy Sheriff C. A. Lldgerwood of
Colville, Wash., on the suspicion of
having been Implicated in the murder
of Charles Thomet of Midway a short
