PR1NEVILLE, May 16. Tho fol lowing Is practically tho entire text ot tho grand Jury's report to Judgo DradBhaw: "We have examined tho books and offices of tho various county officials and whllo our time Is so limited that ire aro unablo to pass on the correct ness o( the accounts, wo And that as far as wo are ablo to Judge, the of fices aro being systematically con ducted and everything appears to be done carefully and with duo regard for the law. "The county property wo find to be in good condition and being properly cared for. Furthermore, as there will be three terms of court In Crook county hereafter, we feel that the present salary ot the Janitor la' In sufficient for his present and future services and wj recommend that his salary bo Increased to $90 per month. "As crime In Crook county is ap parently increasing, taxing tho ac commodations ot the county Jail to Its utmost capacity, we recommend that certain improvements to the Jail be made, namely: "That toilet and other conven lenccs be Installed in the female ward, Including a cell, as since Jan uary 1, 1913 there have been four arrests or women, necessitating the keeping of one and sometimes two women in Jail for an indeflntto per iod. "That a vestibule be built leading from tho sheriff's office to the Jail entrance, cutting off communication with tho outside and giving protec tion to the Jailor and officers and pre venting prisontrs from getting out side assistance unknown to the sher iff's office; this improvement could bo made of strong netting or of sheet Iron and in our opinion la an emergency that should at unco be at tended to. "Two steel cells should be added to the tier already In place In the main Jail, which In our opinion can no be done without changing tho en trance to tho cells now Installed and leaving a most modern appearance and better accommodations for pris oners who must be locked up at night. "Wo have briefly considered the feasibility of n timber cruise for the purposo of getting at a Just and equitable basis for assessing tho tim ber of tho county and we unanimous ly recommend that the county pro ceed to have the timber cruised under such conditions that will give the county the best practicable estimates at tho best prices. "We have furthermore examined Into the action of the county court in purchasing an automobile for offi cial business. Our Investigations show that the purchase will ultimate ly be a saving financially to tho coun ty and from an economical standpoint we heartily endorse the purchase. "We have also examined the cul vert recently replaced by the ditch company at the south end of tho steel bridge across the Crooked river near Prlnevllle and condemn It as being a poor piece of work and we hereby call the attention of the county court thereto. "In conclusion we wish to call to the attention of the Juvenile court the condition of the fnmllv of C. L. Iteames- and respectfully desire that the closest attention be given to a condition there that Is grave and merits the closest scrutiny of those who are' experienced in the handling of similar problems. "Having concluded our labors we respectfully ask to be discharged. "J. W. Livingston, foreman; Isaac- Martin, Jerry Achey, J. W. Jlarrv, C. II. Henry, Fisher C. Logan, C. P. IJecker."

PU1NEVIL.U3, May 19. Tho county seat, which scorns to bo ac quiring something ot a reputation for its good yarns, has another one. This time t concerns the outraged dignity of the Judge of Crook county. After careful sifting of several ver sions, all mora or lesa touched up, the facta of the matter seem to be that last week tho grand Jury In structed tho courthouse Janitor, H. II. Clow, to placo signs on tho nlco green court hotiso lawn forbidding trespass thereon, It appearing that a path was being worn across said greensward. This Clow did. for his Is not to reason why, his but to do and penraps dlo when he's ordered. Now, It appears that the chief offend er! tho deep-dyed villain who ven tured to defamo the sacred award, was no less n personage than Judge Springer. And when Judgo Springer saw those "No Trespass . , ... . bikub iiiaceu in the way he was won i to ircao, an his angry passions rose, and forth with he went forth to" destroy them. According to some, the Judgo swlned at 'em viciously with his No. 6 shoe. Dut as Clow narrates tho facts, he simply removed them, meth od unknown, last Friday eve. When asked why they were taken away, ho was quick to explain that he consid ered them an Insult -to his Judicial dignity, says Clow. Well, somehow the dove of poaco ramo fluttering along about then, and a compromise was effected, whereby Clow agreed not to replace the dlgnlty-offendlng notices, and In return tho Judgo promised not to walk across tho nice grass.

After making these, Sheriff Elklns continues: Another matter that has caused somo comment, both favorablo and otherwise, Is tho county automobile. This was suggested as n means of reducing tho tmincnso cost of trnns Krtatlon ot county charges, both criminal and others. Also a moans of getting quicker action in tho way of apprehending criminals, conveying tho county commissioners on their Inspection tours of tho roads and bridges whether under construction j or proposed, and with tho Idea that. at least one-halt of tho cost would bo cut off.

(Editorial Correspondence) PKINKVILLB, May 20. With tho Circuit Court on the last lap of u record session, It becomes nppuruiit that this sitting has proved notable In accomplishment na woll as In tliitu consumed. On tho docket tho following dis position of criminal cases has oc curred: W. I and V. M.

George Mcsstngor, convicted of stealing a steer nnd n heifer, re coil nty, Lake and Harney, north Into Wasco and Sherman. The entire county was In harmony as to the purchase, of tho car until nftor do- livery was mado when "I" Springer got (old feet and tho burden of blamo was cast on tho shoulders ot Commissioners liny ley and Drown, who nroso to tho emergency and called a seclal sseslon of the county court and an order was mado for payment of It. I wish to say In conclusion that tho county officials and particularly tho sheriff's office havo reason to feel grateful to tho commissioners alxivo mentioned for tho help tendered dur ing tho rush of tax collecting nnd tho epidemic of horso rustling and other afflictions when wo were abcut swamped, as theso gentlemen gavo orders that results were wanted and that any necessary cxihuisc would bo mot and to go ahead.

Much to tho surpilio of all who heard tho trial, which developed what in commonly admitted to bo tho strongest uaso the stnto had, John Mcl'herson escaped conviction be cause of u huug Jury. It Is a matter of common gossip that onu Juror hung out agaliiHt eleven, mid so Me I'hcisou Is again at largu until the September term of court. Together with that bf (leorgo (lonlner, who was nciiultlud on ouu of tho charges against him, this casu will linnit over. Tho caao of Charles Densely, charged with assault with n danger ous weapon, has been continued un til tho next term. Orvlllo Morris, the boy who tried to wreck tho train at Crooked river bridge, plond guilty and as yet has not been sentenced. Dick (larrot was convicted of lar ceny of a sleor and sentenced to from onu to Ion years. Hoy Clarke, tried with (larrot, and defended by V, A, Forbes of llond, wna admitted. II. F. Jones was convicted of gambling and lined $lfu, as reported Inst week. A. J, Hulton plead guilty to umbox- lloiiiout and has not boon sentenced yet. WlrU nt Nctt Term. Altogether, tho term has shown District Attorney Doll hard nt work, and proved something ot an Indorse ment ot tno ability of that officer and his assistant, Wlllard WIrU, nnd ot Sheriff Klklim. This Is tho Inst term nt which Dell will appear, aw after July 1 tho county attorney, Wlrts, will hold tho fort alone, the last leg islature having provided fur county attorneys.
