TOM RICHARD30N DAY VERY VALUABLE (ContIn-3d from front page.) The Banquet. It would be hard to say too much of the banquet at the Hotel Enter prise, .where Host Blanchard did him self proud and not only pleased but delighted everybody present. An other decidedly splendid feature of the banquet was the presence of nine members of the Improvement League, under the direction of Mrs. Dr. Moore, as waitresses. The la dies started out to earn a dollar each nine dollars for the league, to be given to the cemetery improvement fund. They devoted their services to that end, with that intention. But on explanation, of the situation ty Toastmaster Daniel Boyd, the banqueters "warmed" to the idea, and "tipped' the ladles to the addi tional sum of $37.00, making a to tal of $46.00 for the cemetery im provement fund. This work of the temporary wait resses was the crowning glory of the whole event. It Illustrated pre- cisely what Mr. Richardson had said. that the ladies as helpers of the bus- lines men, are simply invaluable land indispensable. K illustrated what the ladle can do In becoming I aa auxiliary force to the local Com- , The ladies who thus donated time and labor so advantageously were as follows: Misses Katherlne Kay, Elfie Lomach, Cora Berland, Alta Davis, Lucile Ccrklns, Ethel Weaver, Anna Richards, Joyce Craig, and Mrs. Frank Sheets, under the "head wait ress, ' Mrs. Dr. Moore. And though It was the first experience of them, all in such work, not an accident nor an incident occurred to mar the clock-like work of this coterie of fairies.. - ' Six Course, Dinner. Host and Hostess Blanchard; did themseles proud in the six-course din ner. It was dainty throughout. There were no long waits. Everything was In hand" from start to finish, and was simply fine. - The Speakers. Attorney Daniel Boyd served as toastmaster, and - acquitted himself ably, humorously, and with a rep artee rloht off the reel for every congenial dig" from the tables. At torney Burleigh, Attorney Trill of Joseph, .W. H. Dil worth and Attor ney D. W. Sheahan responded, to toasts, with numerous speakers call ed upon to lend wisdom and bright ness to the occasion. Among the lat ter were Judge Crawford of La Grande, Judge Knowles of the same ity, Tom Richardson of Portland, and F. A. Clarke of "six miles this side of Joseph." Mr. Clarke has an inimitable style that ingratiates his words into the minds of every body and, makes him a . host of friends. The banquet was completed about o'clock, and those present reluct antly bade their guest, Tom Richard son, adieu, first giving him three cheers and a "tiger." The latter received- the hearty compliment with pleasure and deep feeling, and the 80 persons representing the 80 cov ers at the banquet board, filed off to their homes with a new spirit awakened in them and a new deter mination to labor for Wallowa county.

In the matter of the final report of the Grand Jury: To the Hon. J. W. Knowles, Judge of the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Wallowa County: We, your G-rand Jury, havlngi com pleted our labors, beg leave to sub mit this our final report. We have been- in session In aU five days, and during this time) have returned into court nine true bills and three not true bills of indictment. We have examined the offices of the Sheriff, County Clerk and! Treas urer of the county, and find these officers well housed, and when their offices are furnished with the furni ture how ordered for them by the County Court, they will In our opin ion be models of safety, convenience and comfort, both for the officers and the general public having business to transact therein. We have care fully examined the books kept by the Sheriff and Clerk, so far as our lim ited time and facilities ,wlll permit, and find said books neatly,, care fully and correctly kept, and said of ficers prompt, careful and efficient, in the discharge of their duties, and in 'the keeping of the 'records' of the county. We have examined into the county Jail and prison of the county and when the same lis finished with the steel cells and furniture now or dered by the County Court therefor, the same w"l be a safe, s anitary prison, where prisoners can be safe ly kept and properly cared for. The new court house which has Just been completed is a modern, substantial, stone building, as near fire proof as it can be made, coatalns ample, con venient and a comfortable room for the holding of Court and good, con venient rooms for all the county of ficers and Jury roams, and when fur nished as contemplated by the coun ty court w'1' be all that the people of the county could wish for courtr house purposes. , This court house 'la a credit to the public spirit of the county, and to the County Court who had charge of Its erection. We recommend that the court house grounds be cleaned of Its rub bish as soon as -convenient,, that the grounds be filled in and leveled and seeded down to lawn grasses, that shade trees be planted around , the grounds and at suitable and convenl- lent places In the grounds, and that Lhe grounds be improved generally to harmonize with the. court house build-. ing Itself, and in- the doing of this work we recommend -that persons serving terms in th county Jail be employed therein.- We especially desire to commend our efficient' sheriff for his Industry and work in the collection of the taxes of the 'county, and especially in collecting back taxes due the coun- ty, and in the manner in which he and his deputies have worked upon these delinquent lax rolls, collected all that is possible to collect and! in this manner saved to the county thousands of dollars. . We further find that while the county school superintendent has a good, comfortable room in the court house that he has not proper f urnl- ture, especially in the way of files for his papers and records and we therefore recommend that the coun ty court immediately procure for his office all necessary files for the safe and orderly keeping and filing away of the papers and records of his of fice. We desire to thank Your Honor for the prompt, careful and conscien tious manner in .which you have dis patched the business of this term of court, and for your uniform cour tesy to the Grand Jury, the attor neys appearing before you and their clients. These matters are in the Interest of the fair impartial admin istration, of Justice and have our hearty approval. We desire to thank the district at torney by appointment for this term of court, T. II, Crawford, and the deputy, Mr. Dill, for the manner -in which they have aided us la the discharge of our duties, and the sheriff, bis deputies- and other coun ty officers for the willing aid they have given whenever called upon. And now having finished our work fo this term of court we request that we may be discharged and al lowed to return to our homes. Respectfully submitted thla 13th day of May A. D. 1910. Thos.
