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.

Al ALICE BACK OF FARCICAL REPORT (Continued from page 1.) tho court house wan conveniently 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.

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.
