Free Mounting ATHENA GARAGE Athena, Oregon SHERIFF GURDANE Records of Official Perform ance Compared For the Years 1928 and 1929. Sheriff Tom Gurdane has issued to the press of Umatilla county a com prehensive report which covers the performance of duties of his office and results obtained in the year 1929 as compared with the record of the office for 1928. His report follows: Report of Sheriff for 1928 and 1929 Prohibition Report. 1928 1929 Total Amount of .', Fines Assessed..$ll,585.00 $16,693.50 Total Amount of Fines Collected $ 9,873.80 $10,888.30 Arrests for Vio lation Liquor- v Laws .........:..r.'..:...;.....154 183 Number of days served in jail' V by violators ............1,165 6,132 Number of stills ' seized ........ . .......4 11 Capacity of stills seized i...............110gals. 745 gals. During the last year this office has operated without a- Prohibition Deputy all the work being done by the regular force of the Sheriff's Office. This enabled the Prohibition Fund to purchase one new Ford coach and t pay the difference in a trade in for a new Durant sedan. Thus giving the county title to two new cars without cost to the tax payers. This money was formerly paid to a deputy sheriiT working out of the District Attor ney's office on prohibition enforce- ment. Also we have seized two other cars, one a Lincoln sedan which the owner recently gave the county pos session to rather than tight connsca tion proceedings. I wish to add that much of the credit for the showing of this office in this report is due to the support and co-operation of Dis trict Attorney Proebstel, Deputy Fred Schmidt, Mr. George Alexander, State Prohibition Commissioner, Mr. W. K. Newell, Federal Prohibition Administrator, and Chief of Police Charles Lemmons. There was $3, 115.00 turned over "to the general fund from prohibition fines also. Reuort of Arrests 1928 1929 Arrests by Sher iff's office 847.: 395 Sentenced to Ore gon State Peni tentiary ..... 14 52 Of the 52 sentenced to the Oregon State Penitentiary only 4 stood trial and 2 of these stood trial jointly. The balance all entering a plea of guilty. The average cost of an ordin ary trial in Circuit Court is, I find, around $300.00, so consequently this has resulted in a large saving to the county on this score. . Previous to my taking office all sheriff's operated their own cars and were paid so much for each mile they traveled. The county court being of the opinion that the county could operate their own cars cheaper, so the mileage sys tem was done away with, consequent ly it is only now costing what the actual cost of operation comes to. Since taking office there has been no time day or night that a Deputy was not available at this office in re sponse to a telephone call. This Deputy is in communication with the jail also, making him available to the jail in case of sickness, etc. This new innovation has been made with the same help as formerly, and from the number of calls received from after 5:00 p. m. and before 8:00 a. m. we believe it to be an essential ser vice. . There has been 54 stolen autos re ported into this office and we have inisor1eH in rpenvprinc 53 of this number. Many at a considerable dis tance, however. We have succeeded in effecting the arrest of 13 car thieven this vear. Bad checks proved the most popular, however, and we succeeded in convicting 19 iorgers and no fund check men. We have established an Identification Bureau and each man received has 10 prints taken of him. These finger prints are in turn sent to the following bureaus: the Portland Police Bureau, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, the Washington State Identification Bureau at Walla Walla Penitentiary, the State Bureau of Identification of California at Sacramento, and Bel lingham Identification Bureau, at Bel- lingham, Washington, the depart ment of Justice Bureau at Washing ton, D. C. and the Canadian Mount ed Police Bureau at Ottawa, Canada. This proves a valuable measure in de termining the former record and identification of -the subject Also by co-operation on the part of this office the above Bureaus in turn notify this office of any future arrests reported to them. Two copies of the prints are filed here, together with a picture and the negative, in case some other office may be in need of picture of subject in the future. All information received from the Bureaus are incorporated on the piint together with a personal history of the subject and all the details of sub ject's arrest, etc. This is all filed in a cabinet here and cross indexed both under names, aliases and crimes en abling anyone at anytime who is in terested in the subject to come and inanect the files and thereby gain as much knowledge of the subject as the officers who handled the case havs. This is entirely a new innovation in thin office. Alxo one mav learn from wxr T&torAt the tnimrtb of yt'vMMt'i GRAIN INSPECTED Work Done By the State Department of Grain Inspection. Salem. During 1929 the stata grain inspection department, , which is administered by' Seymour Jones, state sealer of weights and measures, inspected a total . of - 34,406,452 bushels of grain at Portland, St. Johns and Astoria, according to Jones' annual report which has been filed with Governor Norblad. Of this total 30,459,546 bushels were inspected at Portland and St. Johns and the remainder at Astoria. i Wheat alone inspected at Port'and and St.; Johns totaled 27,426,484 bushels, oats 1,533,150, corn 1,113, 136 and other grains "386,776. Wheat inspected at Astoria totaled 3,853, 694, corn 30,801 bushels and other grains 62,411. " The law gives to persons not sat isfied with the grading made by the state department the privilege of ap peal, to the federal grain supervision department. Although 29,341 in spections were made at Portland and St. Johns and 3045 at ' Astoria, and 2781 by request at Pendleton, only 170 grades were appealed, and in 154 cases the state department was sustained. Besides the wheat inspections the department inspected and weighed 292,326 bushels of flax seed and 1003 carloads of hay, totaling 15,190 tons. Department chemists made 1987 pro tein tests. Grain sampled and weigh ed for export totaled 11,257,808 bush els and flour 1,546,593 barrels. By far the greater amount of grain handled is grown in Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. During the year, however, 1240 cars of wheat, 957 cars of corn, 216 cars of oats, 92 of bar ley, five of rye and 154 of flax seed came from ea8t of the Rocky moun tains. " . - , The department collected $1062 in fees for , the certified weighing - of motor vehicles, also fruit and other commodities on its truck platform in Portland. Miscellaneous additional fees totaled $2154.25. ; ; , ' During the year the department, under an act of the 1929 legislature, inspected and licensed - 294 warehouses.
