Dear Sir: At your request, for
the information of the Portland

tho statement of estimated income
to Btate highway fund, as compared
with interest and principal require
ments to carry $40,000,000 bonds,
as per table published in tho Ore
gon Voter, This is based upon the
ostlmated number of motor vehicles,
estimated license fees and estimat
ed gasoline tax, and we find the
same to be correct.
.We submit herewith statement
setting forth the result of our ex
amination, Including the monthly
nvorago gasoline tax per car from
March, 1019, ,c-Murch. 1920.
The increoso in vehicles registered

is estimated to cover administrative
expenses, leaving $20 'per car to
bo divided as follows:
To state highway fund ,.$15.00
To county In which vehicle

Totul $20.00
When figured on a monthly basis
tho average gasoline tax per car is

amount used In estimate. For con
servative reasons, we have used the

That the balance of tho $6,000,

$1800 (Bean-Barrett, Chap. 175,

TRIPS ON WIRE
.22 CALIBER BULLET
CAUSES DEATH
CHILD FINDS BODY
Walter Welier, Formerly of IStk
Infantry, Wax Brother of La,
I'lno Principal Parents
Reside In GreHham.
r
Walter Weber, ex-soldier and
millwright at the Brooks-Scanloa
mill, met bis death two miles south
of Bend early yesterday afternoon
while rabbit hunting, when the .22
caliber automatic rifle he carried
was discharged as he tripped while
going through a barbed wire fence.
The bullet entered his right temple,
passing out through the left eye,
death apparently resulting from
hemorrhage.
The body was found by 8-year-old
Floyd Creson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. T. Creson, who ran home, great
ly frightened, shortly before 4
o'clock In the afternoon to tell his
parents. A brother, Victor, re
mained by the body, while Richard
Herold and Clarence MonlcaJ, em
ployes of the Bend Water, Light 4fc
Power company, were sent In to no
tify the authorities. Sheriff S. E.
Roberts, -Chief of Police L. A. W.
Nixon, County Physician R. W.
Hendersbott and others motored to
the scene of ' the tragedy. Coroner
C. P. Niswonger arriving a short
time after. Death was so plainly
the result of accident that no in
quest was deemed necessary.
Accident Certain.
' The right cuff of the corduroy
khaki trousers worn by the young
man was pulled down and had ap
parently caught on the lower strand
of the wire a.! he pssaed through,
being released as he rolled halt
over on ' his back after the firing
of the fatal shot. The act that
his right thumb, instead of his fore
finger exerted the pressure on the
trigger necessary to release the fir
ing pin is also considered as highly
important in proving the theory ot
accidental death.
Identification was at first im
possible, but on the arrival ot the
coroner, a receipt for board, signed
by Mrs. R. Bartlett of the BarUett
hotel was found in a side pocket
of his coat. Inquiries at the ho
tel showed the deceased to hae
been a close friend ot Percy Chase,
Brooks-Scanlon employe, and it
was he who supplied the missing
details.
Was in 13th Infantry.
Weber had been troubled with a
lame back for several days, his
friend said, and at 11 o'clock yes
terday morning had called at the
Chase home, asking for his rifle
and stating that he was going rab
bit shooting. He was in excellent
spirits, but said that he did not in
tend going back to work until he
was entirely recovered, s far as
is' known, it Is the last time he
was seen alive by an acquaintance.
Because ' of the: distance to the
Chase home in the mill district to
the point where Weber met his
death, the rough ground to be tra
versed, and trojn the fact that ha
had not entirely recovered from
his lameness, it is supposed that
the accident must have taken place
shortly after noon.
Walter Weber had been a resi
dent ot Bend for the past five
months. He waa the brother of
F. W.' Weber, principal of the La
Pine school, and' son of Mr. and
Mrs. George Weber of Gresham.
During the war he was a member
of headquarters company, 13th in
fantry, entering the service at Camp
Lewis and embarking for overseas
duty at Camp Merritt, only to be
recalled a few hours later by the
signing of the armistice.
The body will be sent to Port
land tonight tor burial.
