STpRM OVER NORTHWEST HITS
WALLOWA COUNTY SNOW
ASSURES BIG CROPS.
Enterprise and Wallowa county
have not escaped from the great
storms that have covered the entire
northwest with snow, and the freez
ing cold, while not so severe in here
as in other paitj of the Inland Em
pire, has been severe enough to make
the oldest inhabitant rack his mem
ory to beat it. The coldest was Sat
urday night when an accurate ther
mometer registered 21 below. Snow
covers the valley and the hills to a
depth of from 12 to 18 Inches.
The snow U the deepest in years
and causes lots of rejoicing as it in
sures bumper crops for next year.
The hills will be full of moisture and
the mountains will give forth bank
full streams of watar all next sum
mer. The snow also protects the
fall sown grain.
There Is lot3- of snow down on the
winter range on the Imnaha, Snake,
Joseph and other canyons, and own
ers of stock have hurried to their
herds and flocks to see about feed.
Many are well supplied but it Is
feared some stock will suffer. Ten
Inches of snow and a temperature
below zero ' was reported at the
Bridge Saturday.
Trains are running on time on the
branch, the only delay being the In
bound Saturday, which waited at La
Grande for the westbound Overland
on the main line, and consequently
did not arilve at Enterprise until
about 7:30 p. m.
Stock Shipments Refused.
Owing to the blockade on 'the
'Pain line stock shiDments nr r-
used at valley stations, but a few
far loads got out before the embar
go. It is exnebtaJ the main ' line
will be open in a day or two.

Enterprise Ore., Nov. 2, 1308.
To the Hon. County Court of Wallow:
County, Oregon:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit Itemized state
roents marked Schedules "C" "S"
' T and "G" of my examination or
:he accounts and records of the vari
:us County Officials of Wallowa
County, Oregon, for the period be
ginning July 6, 1904, and ending July
6, 1908, which shows all money re
ceived by them to have be,;ti proper
ly accounted for, except as therein
shown.
Theje statement! show In datal'
the condition of the Clork's Books
on July 6, 1908, the Treasurer's
Books up to July 29, 190fl, that be
ing the date on which Mr. Reavls sur-rend-rsd
the office to Mr. Bell, and
a statement of the Tax Roils up to
July 6. 1903.
Tt required conlsdorable extra work
to balance the Clerk's I'.oaks, as
there had not been a balance sliest
taken o f during the foi.r yeirs In
which Mr. French hald the officio. J
found the recording department of
the Clerk's Office in first-class shape,
in fact the Le.it of any County I have
ver visited, and cannot speak too
highly of the manner in which Mr.
Boatman hat handled this department.
A reglstsr has be:m kot by the
County Clerk for General Fund War
rants, and all warrants that have been
issued during t!ie last four years
have bem reglftsred therein, but
Mr. French has fal'ed to e".t;r In
the column provided for that, purpose
in thl:i ragl-iter the g.merul fund war
rants that have l.e;n paid by the
Cojnty Tieisurer (luring th- period
cover-jd by our examination arid
which wer3 returned cancelle to
his office. This s'uo lid hive be,' i
done, as It would assist greatly In de
termining the amount of outstanding
wariants. No rsglster has ever bean
kept of elt'uer the Contingent, Coun
ty Road or County High School War
rants, nor has tuere ever bean any
entries made In the Clerk's account
Journal by the Clerk when the last
named warrants were Issued. I have
checked the warrants issued with the
warrants paid by the Treasurer cov
ering the period of our examination,
and have made entries in the account
Journal so that you can determine
least once a month with the School
Clerks and Road Supervisors, and
see that all racelpts have been sign
ed and returned by them, and that
the duplicates have been filed with
the County Clerk. Either do this or
have receipts si :4113d and relumed to
lnni before sending out his checks.
In the matter of handling orders
issued on the County School Fund
by the County Superintendent, would
say that after the ie vouchers have
been paid by the Treasurer, they
(should bo listedin duplicate on one
of his turn over sheots and nothing
c'se but these cancelled vouchers
l.sted on the sheet; the Superln tend
er, should reedpt to the Treasurer
for these vouchers by sfgnlng his
aino at the bottom of the sheet, and
deliver both of the n to the Treasur
er, who should retain the original
md deliver the duplicate to the
County Clerk, who should charge the
County School Fund Account and
credit County Treasurer's account
wUh the to'al a shown. The County
' rcasurer should deliver the can
celled vouchers to the superintendent.
Tho County Clerk should receipt
the County Treasurer on his turn
over shouts for a'l cancelled warrants
turned over to him by the Treasurer
and should creJit his account with
the to'al amount shown on same af
t;r Uiey have bem audited by the
County Court.
Whenever the County Troasurer re
turns InteitMt coupons to the Clerks
of School Dlitrl ti, ho should re
quire tho School District Clerk to
sign a receipt for the amount of
smio, and filo tue duplicate at once
with the County Clerk for credit,
a'ter first entsrlng and showing num
ber and amount on his cash book.
I would also suggest that the Coun
ty Clerk furn'sh tho Sheriff with
certified copies of all Commlslsoners
Court Journal entries when made re
lating to tax mat'ers, and also fur
nish the Treasurer certified copies of
ill such Journal entries when made
r.-la Ing to his orflce.
I also recommend the adoption and
uie of reuuldtlous, and herewith sub
mit a blank form. Each official to
ba furnished with these forms and
whenever any supplies are needed,
one of thorn to bo filled out, signed
