Xexv nookn for Better Sjtem of
Ilook-keeplntf Have lleen
Initialled.
The new books which were se
lected by Gr. B. Alley, the expert
employed by Morrow oounty, haye
been installed in the offices of
clerk, treasurer and sheriff.
Mr. Allley who is well acquaint
ed with the methods employed by
mapy different counties in the state
has taken what he considers tbe
best from each and has designe
a svstem for this county which
will undoubtedly be a great belt.
in keeping the accounts of various
offices.
The main object in view bis
been to prepare a set of books that
balances can be quickly and ac
curately made.
Under the old way the treasurer
wa9 receiving money from the
various sources which were many,
which were entered up codspcu
tively in an ordinary journal from
which tha several amounts were
posted into a ledger to the various
funds of the county, there being
no way of showing the amount of
cash on baud without a great
amount of checking up.
Under the new system a special
ly prepared form of journal or re
ceiving book is employed upon
which is entered each item of cash
received and segregated according
to the source from which it comes
and extended into a column of total
receipts. The same receiving book
or journal provides for a similar
method of entering and segregat
ing all disbursements which are
likewise extended into a column
of total disbursements.
By a peculiar arrangement of
the pages and the rulings the total
receipts and the total disburse
ments are in parallel columns, en
abling the treasurer to very quick
ly compute their differences which
will show the amount of cash on
hand at all times.
With respect to the sheriff's of
fice all funds turned over to tbe
treasurer will be made upon a
form of requisition in triplicate;
the duplicate to be filed with the
county clerk. Receipts given by
tbe treasurer for such funds are
also made in triplicate, the dupli
cate being filed with the county
clerk. By this arrangement the
clerk will be enabled to compare
the amounts of money represented
to have been turned over from
sheriff to treasurer with the
amounts of money represented to
have been received by the treas
urer from the 6heriff.
The rolls hereafter will be accur
ately footed and charged to the
sheriii n beu turned over to that
oflice, and credits be given from
time to time as his collections are
turned over to the treasurer. De
linquents aud double assessments
will bo disposed of by order of the
county court and credits made ac
coidiugly. Tho sheriff will keep a memoran
da of all financial transactions of
his oflice in the form of credits and
debits which may be quickly and
easily compared with the account
of his office kept by the county
clerk.
Heretofore turnovers were made
to the treasurer by the sheriff upon
a single requisition and no accur
ate footings were made of the rolls.
Nor did he receive proper credits
by the clerk for funds collected
and turned over, nor were his ac
counts ever made to balance or to
compare with those cf the other
officers.
Iu the clerk's office new and mod
ern forms are employed for keeping
record of the various tees received.
A receiving book;is kept for the
record of all instruments filed for
record, showing the exact trans
action and proceeds of each instru
ment filed.
A fee book is also kept showing
in detail every fee received in that
office from courts, fines, licensee,
etc., together with the daily pro
ceeds of the recording of instru
ments, all of which are extended
into a total column from which
turnovers sre made to tbe treasur-
er. lhus eacn step is maae ciear
and traceable, and every dollar re
ceived in that office is caused to
pass into a channel which termi
nates by its nature into a receipt
from the county treasurer, and any
irregularity however small occur
ring in the finances of that office
can be clearly aud quickly traced
to its origin.
Formerly all funds were received
into that office through one general
receiving book with scarcely suffi
cient detail to guide one as to the
origin of many items.
Turnovers were made in like.
wise a general way to the treasurer
which removed the possibility of
tracing the course of the various
fees from the hands of the public
through the office of clerk to the
treasurer.
A permanent record is to be
kept in the assessor's office of all
taxes and money collected by the
assessor showing its origin and
turnover to the treasurer; whereas,
heretofore no permanent record
has ever been kept by the assessor
aside from ordinary stubs and re
ceipts which have been loosely
thrown about.
LAIIUE LA.M) WITHDRAWAL.. ft
Half of Northern Grant With
drawn from Entry ou
.November 14.
In tbe last issue ot the Blue Mountain
Eagle mention was made of the with
drawal for forest reserve purposes cf
three townships located between Fox
valley and the John Day valley, in
addition to two townships in the Iiee
country. Since the last Issue a report
of the withdrawal in the north part of
tha county has been received, and in
stead of three townships, the land with
drawn from entry numbered just fiteen
townships.
Those who are familiar with these
townships wiil readily see that it in
cludes a belt of land from tbe north part
of Grant county at Dale south and west
to the extreme western part of the
county Even the townships including
Long Creek, Fox and Round Basin are
included in the withdrawn area. It is
safe to say that neither of these three
tuwnfbips will ever be included in b
permanent reserve, but unless the
people ot that part of the county show I
the proper authorities at Washing r
tbe injustice of such a withdraw!
enough of it wi 1 be included in a
permanent reserve to seriously injure
the stock interests of the north part of
the county. An examination of the
records of the land oflice will show that
of the best timber in each of the
townships w ithdrawn has already been
purchased, anil absolutely no benefit
cat come Irotn Fticn a witinirawai at
thit time. The stock interests of that
part of irant county will not only
su.lVr, bit the erowthcfth.it locality
will be greatly retarded. F.lue Moun

One of the best known farms in the
I.ewiston country, known as the Wil
lows, has been sold to Dr. C. C. Tbil
lips, J. E, Chapman and George W.
Morrison for fi.OOO. The property
contains 250 acres, is located just east
of I.ewiston and four years ago sold for
f 10,000.
The irrigation of tbe Quincy connty,
comprising 540,000 acres, by means of a
canal and pipe line from the Wenatchee
river west of Leavenworth, is a feasible
proposition, said David K. McGinnie,
an irrigation expert of Seattle, and a
large property holder of the Wenatchee
district.
WORKING FOR
JAMESTOWN FAIR
Jefferson Itlycra I'rrsideii t of Ore.

Heppner.
Jefferson Myers, president of
the Oregon Jamestown fair com
mission, and Ilenry Elackrmm,aiso
a member of the commission, came
up fiom Portland Tuesday evening
The commissioners came up to
do a little missionary work for the
fair. Mr. Myers yesterday after
noon lectured to the students o'
the rieponer public schools. Ow
ing to tho fdct that he in cue ci
Prof. Raid's n'.l pupil", to br one
more in the room with his oio
teacher was pleasant indeed.
Jefferson Mye. 6 i oj of the
best known men in the state. Mr.
Myers' work as previ.L: i.t of the
Oregon commission of the Lewi--and
Clark fair is well known. Be
ing a thorough exposition man be
is again in the harness and all the
compensation that he has ever re
ceived is the satisfaction that he
has been doing some good for his
good old native state cf Oregon.
As to the real work of the expo
sition Mr. Myers says that be does
not like it, but believes that the
results will be of great benefit to
Oregon, and for that reason the
work is worth all the trouble.
"Development of Oregon's great
resources is what we are trying to
accomplish," was the first state
ment made by Mr. Myers to the
Gazette. "As an illustration we
will take the Hood River district.
Hood River apples are becoming
well known. As an illustration we
will 6ay that Hood River is only
producing 7,000 boxes of apples,
while the demand is for 100,000
boxes. Now we would be 93,000
boxes behind the demand. If we
could not supply this somebody
else would and we would be prac
tically out of business. To remedy
such troubles by proper develop
ment is what we are trying to ac
complish.
"The Lewis and Clark fair has
located Oregon on the map to cer
tain Eastern people, but in the
thickly settled Eastern states, the
people do not care to take the
chances of coming out here to in
vestigate without a better knowl
edge of our great inducements.
How could an Eastern man know
of the possibilities of this great in
terior of Oregon if we do not go
aud see him with a proper demon
stration. At one time the Albe
marle apple of Virginia was sn ac-
knowledged leader, selling for ifl.oU
