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.

Martin, Jerry Achey, J. W. Jlarrv,

P. IJecker."

Official From Customary Use ot
Court House Lawn, Diplomacy
Alone Saves Situation.
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

This was suggested as n means of

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. Itobcrtaon.

Wasco and Sherman. The entire
county was In harmony as to the
purchase, of tho car until nftor do-

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

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

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. Hereafter Crook county
will also have thrco Instead ot two
