McBhidk, Jlim.E: We, your undersigned grand Jury for the Novc iiiUt term (1U5) of stud court, make this our final report, and respectfully reprtsent that we have carefully investigated all charges of crime preseuted to us, and have re lumed luto court fclxlteu true iiiis aud three uot true U1U. We visited the county poi r house, and found it well kept: we would recommend that a small heating stove be furnished to all rooms uot now containing one. We also reooui mend that cave troughs be added to the building, and the painting of the old Dart of the buildini' itself. We have visited the county Jail, and. although it does not meet our approval, we do not deem it advisa ble to recom mend the building of a new Jail until the return of better times; we find it as well kept as ine condition of the building will s rmit; and, while we do not wish to censure the sheriff lor the esciijie of certain prisoners, we would recommend to the said officer the exercise of vigi lance and care. The experts, W. H. Wehrung and II. S. Hudson, employed by us to ex amine the accounts of the dint-rou- t county officials, have found them cor rect, and balautes on hand as sr statement made to us by them, which statement is annexed to our report. We recommend that herealter the county judgu, with the assistant e t f one expert, if nectssary, make an ex. amination of the accounts ot the nt county officials semi-annuall- Owing to the system at present em- ployed in futiicn!iing witnesses, wt experienced considerable delay iu se- curing them, and we recommend that some measures be adopted to remedy this iu the future. Pursuant to jour instructions, we have examined witli due care and diligence into the case of alteration ot records from a justice court submitted to us by your honor, aud while there stems to be no doubt that such altt was made, we have Ix-e- una- ble to determine who is guilty of this offence. We visited the officers of the county clerk, sheriff, recorder of convey auces, treasurer, assessor and surveyor, and found the books aud accounts neat and properly kept, the officers cour- teous, and new systems and method? used, which improve and expedite the business of the county. And now, having completed our labor, we most respectfully ask to be discharged. Dated this lGth day of Dtcemher, IS'J.'i. Tiios. Pai i.skx, Foreman, John A. lli i.i r, J. W. Bakkk, P. Bosmw, J. W.

So far as known, Mr. Wilkes is the only person who has made a record 01 observations in this tield. Surveyors have had a suspicion that the varia tion of the luagnetio needle changes ironi period to (erl(xl, aud even Iroui year to year. The problem laid out by the Washington authorities is to determine lirst whether there is a change, and second, the law of cnange. .Mr. Wilkes finds that the survey made in l8ol-- 2 that marks the bast-lin- e and tin Willamette me- ridian puts the magnetic variation at 20 10' K. for the former and 20 W K. for the town line betweeu towns 2 and 3 W. At Hillsboro, for the years 1803-4-5- , tho variation has been constant at 21" iiU' K. So for those years there has been no change, and for the forty years since ls.".2 the change has been but 1" 20'. There Is a suspicion that the !,' observation may not have been as accurate as the lsy.j, owing, one reason, to the im- provement in instruments that have been made. The variation in Wash- ington county is not uniform, due to leds of magnetic iron ore known to exist lu places, though these areas are limited. What have been the variations in the forty-yea- r interval 110 one certainly knows. It may be swinging back to the 20 10' K. mark or away. The observations which Surveyor Wilkes has d, will determine in the next half century it continued by him and his successors. Dr. Withycomhe, state veterinary surgeou, has Just returned from a trip Into Douglas county. Some things there are very encouraging. For instance, 0110 mail sold in the San Francisco market, during the Thanksgiving holiday trade, turkeys that brought him $1,000. The same party has lu hand the preparing of t urkeys for the Christmas holidays and expects to ship several car loads of dressed poultry. Another flrui is finding GOO steers which he exiects to market in March ami April. The steers are kept in bands of about 100, half housed in tho day and the other half in the same stalls at night. This feeder has bis stalls on a differ- ent plan from his neighbors. Kacli bullock Is turned loose in its box stall which is 8 feet wide, and left free to eat, lie or stand at will. This is not the first year this stix-kma- has fed cattle, so there is no experi- ment about the matter. Ono man cares for each herd of 100. As an evidence ot hard times and the necessities of the people, it may be stated that burglars have taken to ransacking the resiliences of our lawyers and doctor. At Attorney Tongue's the thief found nothing, not even food. That was eaten at eventide, before. Now, it was dif- ferent across the street at Dr. Bai- ley's. There an elegant solid gold watch was found which shows forth the luxury of its rightful owner, 18 in coin tells of present thrift, and mince pies, with cold boiled ham, evidences of sumptuous living. Doctors have to be employed, but men do not bring law actions against impecunious debtors. The following otHcers were elected last Tuesday evening, by Tualatin Chapter, No. 31, 0.

A lady driving toward Hillsboro recently, met a little boy trudging homeward through .the woods. She knew him well, and observing a school I ook under tils arm, said: "Why, Hoy; are you going to school now?" "No ma'am," was his an- swer, "I am going home from school now." As we go to press we learn from S. A.

Some eople from the Fast have Just settled down near here. As there was an old house on the place they bought it was thought best not to build until spring. Atler the first big rain a wick or so ago, we asked them if they were not glad it had ceased raining. "Oh, it hasn't let up at our I1011.se, yet," was the reply, and then this explanation was given: "You know, the house was old and lull of holes roof, sides and u 1 over and under. Well, these holes were plugged up with moss and the moss gets so soak ts I lliat the water keeps coming into the house three dayi-afte-r the storm is over." If we have only three days between storms that family will have rain all winter. The burglaries of Wednesday night were reported early yesterday morn- ing, at the sheriff's office, together with the information that two fellows had been seen at tho railroad station. Sheriff Ford at once sent his deputies, ltradfoni and Uuorge Bagley, after them. Mr. Bradford sent his team toward Cor- nelius by the long bridge, while he and Bagley followed up tho track. N'igktwatch Ucdmond, with the team, came up with the game first. He engagel them iu talk till Messrs. Bradford aud Bagley camo up, when Bradford said: "You may go back to Hillsboro with us." "All right," the two answered, and were marched toward tho wagon. No resistance was made till that was reached, when one of the fellows suddenly pulled a big gun and shot at Bradford. Bag-le- y saw the other one make a suspi- cious motion, when he punched his own pistol in his face aud told him to throw up his hands. He obeyed, and Bagley kept him in hitH dur- ing the remainder of the buttle. As soon as Bradford hoard the lexi whistle by his ears he pulled and shot, but his man was on tho run fur timber, alniut a half-mil- o away. BraJford shot again, but the fellow followed the worm fence, and he had not time for an accurate aim. Tin fugitive shot again at the officer, but missed. Constable Annans was also iu tho fight, and shot once, but miss- ed. Neighbor James Young, at a dead rest, missed, too; but the runner weakened, for Bradford was gaining, with cartridges iu his pistol for short range. At command, a fine navy revolver of latest pattern was drop- ped, and its mate pulled out of his clothes by his captor. Bradford snapped on his bracelets, and the pair were safely landed in Jail, where a search brought to light a lot of burglars' tools and skeleton keys. The fellows give their names as Ken- edy and Powers. The officers don't certainly know yet whether they are the burglarsof Wednesday night, but they have them hooked for Salem on a charge of assault witli intent to kill. The fellow who shot at Brail-for- d said he did nut intend to kill him, but only for a scare so the officers would ruii; but Bradford don't run. When the shooting first commenced, Coii.itahln Annans was sitting in his cart, and started to run the man down who was doing the shooting. This cS drew the fire on him. The olll'vrs took four pi tols from their prisjners, and a lot of ammunition.

Surveyors in the News By Pat Gaylord, PLS HILLSBORO INDEPENDENT Friday, December 20, 1895 CHANGING DECLINATIONS In 1895, it was announced the federal government was compiling a study of the movement of the magnetic pole and changes in declination. A local county surveyor in Washington County, L.E Wil- kes (Elected 1894–1898), was apparently a few steps ahead of them in studying and evaluating this phenomenon we in modern times are very much aware of. The department of the interior at Wash- ington, D.C. is collecting information for the purpose of compiling and pub- lishing the magnetic variation of the surveyor’s needle both in present and past times. This work is for the use of land surveyors, and in the interest of science. County Surveyor Wilkes in- dependent of this enquiry, has been conducting experiments and taking ob- servations since 1893, and hence for the short period since is able to furnish the department with trustworthy data for this station—Hillsboro. So far as known, Mr. Wilkes is the only person who has made a record of observations in this field. Surveyors have had a suspicion that the variation of the magnetic nee- dle changes from period to period, and even from year to year. The problem laid out by the Washington authorities is to determine first whether there is a change, and second, the law of the change. Mr. Wilkes finds that the survey made in 1851–2 that marks the base- line and the Willamette meridian puts the magnetic variation at 20°10’E. for the former and 20°5’E. for the town line between towns 2 and 3 W. At Hillsboro, for the years 1893–4–5, the variation has been constant at 21°30’E. So for those years there has been no change, and for the forty years since 1852 the change has been but 1°20’. There is a suspicion that the 1852 observation may not have been as accurate as the 1893, owing, one reason, to the improvement in instruments that have been made. The variation in Washington County is not uniform, due to beds of magnetic iron ore known to exist in places, though these areas are limited. What have been the variations in the forty-year interval no one certainly knows. It may be swing- ing back to the 20°10’ E. mark or away. The observations which Surveyor Wil- kes has commenced, will determine in the next half century if continued by him and his successors. x
