To tho Hon. County Court, Crook ' County, Oregon. Gentlemen: Pursuant to your order I hnvo made nn oxamlnntlon of tho books of tho several county offlcors of Crook county for the yenr 1912, nud . report as follows. Tho County Clerk, Warren Drown, "Tho county clerk hnB collected and deposited In tho treasury each month tho following amounts: January, 1912, $579.22; February, $G77.69; March, 709.38; April, JG79.30; May, $GS6.43: June, $G09.

Tho sheriff has oarned. according to his docket, fees and mileages In civil cases, to tho amount of $429.10 (Of this ninout tho docket shows $173. SO paid, and ns tho balaucu it docs not say whothor paid or not.) , in addition to tho above, tho dock et shows SI cases In which service has been mado, attachments filed o garnishee process served, oxclus.vu or mileages, not snown on tno uoexot. and these 81 oases call for tees of $30.55. The sheriff has also cxecuti ed five deeds, according to tho deed record, at $2, $10. In all tho other counties In tho state of Oregon, where I have con ducted examinations, tho sheriffs havo paid this class of fees to tho treasurer, twice a yoar, and they are still doing so. But the attorney general has de livered himself of an opinion on this subject (page 24 4 Biennial Hoport 1910-1912) wherein he declares that such fees arc no longer authorized to bo collected by sheriffs, tho same having been superceded by tho flat salary law for county officers. The attorney general disomies this question at length, comparing the several salary bills and flat-salary bills, and declares that all such fees cannot be collected. Ho Is further fortified In this opin ion by a ruling of thu supreme court in tho case of the State ex rcl v. Dun bar, 53 Or. 45, declaring that when a law wns passed placing an officer on flat salary, whoso compensation was previously gained from fees, and thero Is ho law providing that such fees shall coutlnuo to bo collected for tho boriofU of tho county, that thoy cannot bo collected, an thuro Is no authority thorofor. Having doubt In this matter I addressed n totter to tho attorney general unking him how these feoB tthould bo disposed of, nud his letter 1 attach hereto. March 12, 1913, Mr. J. II. Wilson, 1'rlnovlllo, Oregon. Denr Sir: 1 am today In receipt of your letter ur tho 10th Instant In which you ask for an opinion con cerning tho disposition of vnrluH feoa and mileages enrnod by tho sheriff of your county. You wish to know whether or not ho should turn tho same over to tho county treasurer, or could he keep thorn lu addition to his regular salary. iteptyiug I would state that it Is provided In chapter 199 of tho (Ion ural haws of Oregon for 1911 thnt "Tho said olllcera shall recelvo no other compensation whatever for their services, and all tees collected under existing laws, by them, shall bo turned into the county trnsury of snld county." I am of tho opinion thnt this re striction applies to all of tho county officers, ami that nil feeit collected by any of the county officers should bo turned into thu county treasury. Yours vory truly, A. M. CHAWKOItD, Attorney Gonoral. HAVE EVES OH THIS SECTION f Another Jewish Colony May Come to Kngiigo In Dairying. According lo A, II.

I havo examined the stubbs of tho warrants Issued by the county clerk, for the general fund, the road fund, the high school fund and tho scalp bounties, and thoy appear to bo cor rectly issued according to the au thority of the county court nnd tho scalp bounty vouchers on (lie. Tho clerk has exhibited to mo the money on deposit In court, as fol lows: Unidentified amount. $118.89; Smith case, $420.34; Darnett estate, $139.83. At the present time the county clerk is running his office shorthand- ed. This has caused some of the work to fall behind. Notably, the -warrant roglster, and the cancclln- ' tlon of the cancelled warrants there on, which Is quite an Important rec ord. In a general way, I feel like com plimenting tho county clerk, and In deed the three principal ofneera or the county handling county funds, for the very systematic manner in which he conducts his office. Ho Is both recorder and clerk and as re corder there Is nothing out In his work, and as clerk tboso items where- -in ho has failed to collect are such Item" as have been largely in doubt. except tho trial fee, doubtless over looked In the press of business at the trial, a very common oversight among clerks. His work throughout shows the utmost regard for protect ing the county's interests so far as his office Is concerned. The 8herlff, T. N. Balfour.

Brick Buildings never burn, although they are sometimes injured by falling timbers or combustible interior woodwork. A brick building is absolutely fire proof if wire glass is used in the windows and if burned clay floors are used. An interior fire in such a building is confined to the room in which it originates; no outside fire cun attack it. The proportion of burned clay in -'a building construction measures its fire proof qualities. 4, Burned clay is the only building material that has been through the fire before you get it, in such a manner that it will resist fire.
