That tbe errors of the different Umatilla oounty officers have been ex ceptionally small is the fact brought out after a thorough investigation of tbe books by E. A. Jbonson, an expert aooountant, says the Tribune. In sev eral oases at least it is certain that part if not all of the apparent discrep ancies can be acoounted for and that in some instances owing to accumulat ed overcharges tbe county received aotually more money than it was en titled to receive. Mistakes have been found, and pro bably will never be entirely eliminat ed. In view of the immense volume of business transacted by the oounty, amounting as it does to hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly, they are, however, small. In the light of a thorough knowledge f tbe conditions leading up to tbe ansaotions appearing in tbe report, total absence of anytning of a crimi- al nature in tbe errors is very appar- t, and most ot tbe mistakes easily derstood. Under the administration of Record- Fred W. Hendley, from July 1, 1906, to July 1, 1908, shortages in col lecting fees, from filings amounting in tun to $39.65 were found, cut xur. Hendley has filed with the oounty court statement showing that tbe ex pert had overcharged him with f 6.60 for undercharging fees whiob should not have been, leaving the real snort- age as per expert a snortage fao.ua. He also filed a report showing tnat tbe sum of $41.80 had been collected and turned over to the county whiob sum was made ud of overcharges on in struments, leaving the amount of $11.75 that Mr. Hendley has turned over to tbe coutny as fees in excesa. of those whiob aotually belong to it. The recorder's office has handled in. the neighborhood of 10,000 instruments during Mr. Hendley's term of offioe.' Under Mr. Folsom s term of offioe a similar explanation might reduce his apparent shortage. Of the assessor's offioe Mr. Johnson says: " Witn tne county poll rax none away with in the levy of 1906, and no other publio monies with the excep tion of an occasional transient tax, coming into the hands of tbe assessor, the examiner found little iu this offioe to oocupy his attention." Iu the offioe of the county clerk, un der the administration of Frank Saling, from July 1, 1905 to July 1. 1908, shortages amounting to a total of $149.05 were found, but all of these are errors in making collection of fees and were easily explained. In the sheriff's offioe from July 1, 1907, to July 1. 1908. a discrepancy of $8.12 is found in the collection of taxes and most of this was the result of a misunderstanding of the division of school distriot and other special taxes. The aooountant says: "No suggestions are offered and but little improvement could be made in con neotion with tbe methods and work of tax collection. " In the investigation of tbe treasurer's office a mistake of $2 in favor t)f County Treasurer Bradley was found, and also a mistake of $9.90 against tbe treasurer, both of which have been oorreoted, - " ' " Paid Promptly. This is to certify that the Belgain Horse Association suffered the loss of Stallion Genreal DeWet on June 15tb, 1908. Proof of loss was made to office of National Live Stock Association, July 6th, 1908, and a check was xe coived in full from their agent B. Jen eoa on Aug 6tb, 1908, which we oonaider a very creditable showing and appreciate having done business with such a reliable company. H. A. Barrett, sec. 'Belgian Horse Ass'n iTft." Change Name of Baker City. There is a move on foot to drop tbe word "Citv" from Baker City, leav- I ing the name one word, f'BaKer. Business men generally approve of tbe idea, but there is occasionally one who objects on tbe grounds of tradi tion. Thoso favoring the new name say that all good towns in tbe country have dropped tbe word city. She Likes Good Things. Mrs. Chas. E. Smith, of West Franklin, says: "I like good things and have adopted Dr. King's New Life Pills as oar family laxative medioioe. beoause they are good and do their work without making a fuss about it.
