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.

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.
