Mrst state the amount of tho proposed

contracts. Mr. Forbes mode a vigor
ous fight for open competition, oppos
ing amendments which would have
limited the bidding.
When (ho nntl-plstol hill was being
considered, Hoprescntatlve Kqrbw
paved It from death nt the hands of
the revision of laws committee (of
which he was a member) by prevent
ing tho. adoption of a meaningless
substitute. He was a minority mem
ber of the c mmittee but the House
was made to see that the minority
report was better and adopted It In
stead of the majority report. In th's
connection as elsewhere the Oregon
Journal took occasion to endorse his
work.
As the end of the 40-day scsstoi
drew near there was much work left
unfinished. The question of remain
ing In session for 10 days longer
came up In the House and Mr
Forbes' vote was cast In favor of ex
tending the session, wltout extra cost
to tho state. The resolution was
adopted and the session prolonged
until all the work was completed.
Secured Tunmlo Appropriation.
Ily far the most notable achieve
ment of Mr. Forbes was his aid In;
securing tho Tumalo Project appro
priation. He Introduced the bill
providing for this and never let up
in his efforts In securing Its enact
ment. Nothing of this character had
over been considered by the legisla
ture, and that he was able to get the
measure through was a notable vic
tory. The next session of the As
sembly will be marked by other Irri
gation questions of vital Importance
to the state, and especially to Cen
tral Oregon, and as Mr. Forbes Is
thoroughly Informed on these topics
his services In the House will be es
pecially appreciated by those who"
Interests are tho Deschutes valley and
elsewhere where Irrigation is a vital
question.

(Continued from page 1.)

packed with Springer's friends,
rWkM Opinion In Vain.
In tho meanwhile Judge Springer
hml been buty seeking legal opinions
thnt would correspond with his Idea
of how tho thing should be ntanagedi
not bolng at all particular In con
cealing bis remarks with regard tn
alleged graft in the sheriff's nltlre,
a general laxity of conduct of the
clerk' otllco and the extravagance
In tho assessor's office Ho went tn
every attorney In Prlnevllle, Includ
ing M. U. Klllott, T, K. J. Duffy. N
O. Williams, (1. I., Horplen and ..
M. Hechtell, with regard to their
position ns to who was the legal cus
todial! of the tax rolls and all agreed
thnt tho sheriff could not bo man
d.iniused to turn those rolls over to
tho expert or to any other person,
District Attorney Wlrtx on tho day
tho meeting was called was compollJd
to appear and argue tho case of tho
SUto of Oregon vs. !ogan .McPhor
son In tho Supremo Court at Salem
und at tho suggestion of Judge Sprin
ger ho appointed L. M. Hechtell, dep
uty dlntrlct attorney, with full auth
ority to advlsu the different officers
and to copo wlh the sluatlnn. Mr.
Hoohtoll ndvlsed tho Judge that tho
sheriff could not be compelled to
turn the rolls over to the expert. Tho
Judge then went tq M. IS llrlnk, at
torney, who had retired for the ova'i
Ing, nnd Insisted aeon an opinion,
which was the same as that glvim
by every other attorney consulted.
Springer Tries Again;
Still dHiMttlslW. Hnrlnger called
up A. S. Ilennett of The Dsllra and
neked him to be present on the fol
lowing Monday. Judge Ilennett
pleaded business and refused to come
but recommended Judge Thomas O'
Day of Portland. Judge O'Dar ahm
refused to come but recommended II.
K. Haney, chairman of the state Dem
ocratic central committee, who did
como to advise tho Judge Mr llaony
whon ho arrived, also advised th
Judge that the sheriff was the legal
custodian ot tbo rolls and ho could
not bo compelled to turn them over
to anybody whatsoever. The Judge
has slnco stated thnt he Is not sails-
fled with tho legal talent consulted
nnd will continue hla search for t
lawyer who will say thnt thu export
ran tako the tax rolls from tho shui
tft. At the meeting Monday the tax
payers present endorsed everything
that Springer proposed, wherefore
Springer doomed himself nxonerated.
In view of tho sentiment the ooiuiuIh
sloimrs wore apparently unable to
resist the Judge. Ho made nil mo
tions, put them himself anil his
friends In tho body of tho court room
ptiitsod them, Kvorybody voted. Tho
expert's bill of $112 was paid aid
he was retained to complete Ills woik
for $10 per day for himself and a like
mini for nil assistant, He Is now
working on the tux rolls, being con
tented to work on ono or more nt a
tlmn.
Mr. Hall's llrst report una mani
festly so unfair nnd unjust that ho
was called back to complete It, Ills
report on tho agricultural course nt
tho high school, according to tho ad
missions In the loport Itself, was not
founded on any sperlllo knowledge of
It and was farcical. Ills repot t on
the sheriff applied principally to thu
civil fees collected by that oftlce
which could not nmount In n year
to more than $100 or $500, while ho
never once attempted to look over tho
tax recolpts or rolls Involving several
hundreds ot thousands of dollais and
In the correctness of which the tax
payers are most vitally Interested.
IteiHirt (Vinildeml Political.
For this reason nnd others many
In Prlnevllle have looked upon the
report of the expert ns a political
move entirely. It has been dltceted
at all the oilier and not to Ihn sher
iff's oftlce alono. For Instance, (he
report states that the county survey
or has collected $.100 or $400 too
much mileage and which Springer
says should be returned to (he coun
ty. It charges Assessor Foster with
extravagance In the hiring of Held
deputies. Springer assorting that As
sessor Foster should turn bark at
least $2000 of the money so used.
Tim unjustuess of the Foster allega
tions are trenled elsewhere In this
paper, In a discussion of the report
Itself.
In his legal conclusions (he expert
was pearly nlways wrong, according
to Attorney M. It Klllott. M. if
llrlnk nnd other lawyers al Prlue
vllle. According to these attorneys,
the sheriff Is untitled to his fees, unci
they hejong to him. The expert stal
ed that the County Court could nam
the deputies for the water master,
while the law Is clearly contrary to
that holding. Man) such Instance
nf the unreliability or the legal end
of the reHirt ma) be cited.
The milters who wre Inveetlgst
ml have made ullldsvlls which are on
file with the clerk rhnrglng that the
expert was negligent ami that he has
charged sums twice for the same
things: that the roMirt Is malicious
and slanderous. Incomplete and of
very little value.
The Incident that occurred be
tween the sheriff and the expert has
Iteen Injurious In some respects to
the sheriff, for his net In taking the
rolls from th expert has left the im
pression In tunny quarter that the
sheriff feared litvostlgntlnu. Hut In
view or the past Incidents lending up
to the act ot the sheriff unknown to
i thu public nnd In view of bis
status, nnd tho m
legal
Dservatlou of hlri
; MlniiilliiKi his friends hollovo tho shnr-
trr was justified in relaxing mo oiu
lax nflls, nltlioiiK'li thn net may have
been totally unnecessary.
Tho export Ih now working on tbo
tax rolls nnd Is expected to make n
mifplomcntnry report soon. In nn
place In tho report It Htnles that Dep
uty Peoples of the sheriff' otllcn wait
paid about $000 for keeping tho
sheriff's docket, the work of two or
throo days. Inquiry would luwo
brought to Mr, Hall's attention tho
fact that Deputy Peoples whs engaged
In tho tax collecting department, of
ten working long hours. According
to Judge Springer, this was one of
Hall's "little Jokes' a humorous inns
lerplece, thnt ho Inserted for thn
nmiisnmeut of the Inxpavers, perhaps.
Mr, Peoples Is now Trensuror Jorv
dan's chief deputy In tho tax collect
ing department. Then again his re
port qiotes the section of tho cidn
that makes tho sheriff the tax col
lector of the county, for which among
other things tho county paid Mr. Hall
and an assistant $20 per day lo tell
them. Something that every school
