I will bo moro char itable than my protagonist and ts- Biimo that ho has been misinformed, and will merely point out what has been pointed out to mo, so that your readers may bo the Judges of whoro tho "dollbcrato misrepresentations" como In. Tho county lot n contract for the Bpcrlal Improvement of tho North Bend-Emplro road, from Virginia streot via Broadway street and New mark street to tho westerly city limits and tho county surveyor wnB called unon to stako out tho right-of-way, and did set, or causo to bo sot, thrco lines of stakes, ano on the section lino, nnd ono at thirty feet on either rldo of tho section lino, all of which we presumed to bo perfectly regular nnd correct, until advlsod by tho Re ceiver for tho Klnnoy properties, tho owner of tho Mills tract, nnd tho ag ent for other properties along Broad way, that thoro would bo strenuous objections raised to tho location of tho rond as laid out by tho county uirvoyor, on tho ground tnot it would overlap prlvato property. I asked Mr. Oould about this nnd ho ropllod thnt tho road wnn correct ly Inld out, so wo went ahead nnd did our cross-section work according o his Btakes. Investigation shows Miat tho potltlon for tills rond docs lot locate It "along tho section lino" but "along Broadway streot," nnd 'lio center lino of Broadway street Is not tho section line by cloven nnd ilne-tcnths feet nt Vlrglna streot and flftcon nnd nlnc-tenttiR feet nt tho outh lino or Bangor Plat 2, about a Malf mllo south. Mr. Gould Bays ' Is road was "locnlcd along tho sec 'lon lino," honco by his own state ment, this portion nf tho road, In tho 'nnguago of tho potltlon for tho road, was Incorrectly located. Now as to Nowmark street. Tho County Road turns west on Nowmark streot from Broadway street and Is so described 'n tho road potltlon. Nowmark Is in bighty-foot street, according to nil the recorded pints. Tho Bouth lino if Mldlnml Addition Is shown ns 'caving n 40 foot strip for tho north 'inlf of Nowmark street (extended westorly from Plat "B" ncross nt ircBont unplatted proporty) and tho recordod pints show measurements totalling G-HC feet (fifty-four forty llx) from tho south lino of Virginia treot to tho center lino of Nowmark Urcet, whorcas Mr. Gould lins locat id tho contor of this portion of this oiinty road nt G427.2 font tnniii 'rom tho south lino of Vlrglna street, ir, In tho light of tho langungo of Mio petition for tho rond, 1D.2 feet north of whoro It would nppenr It ihouM hovo been placed. Tho road wns Inld out nftor tho additions wore lotted and tho Iron plpo corners Miorcof sot In tho ground, nnd these iron pipe corners wore In tho ground it tho tlmo of tho rond survey, nnd a number of thorn nro still thero ns mute ovldcnco nf somnlindv'n nrmi. I did not "rush off to a nowspnper offlco' nor hnvo I mado "inlsropro sontntlons," nor did I write nor did I dictate, nor "dollborntolv" insnim any artlclo ancnt thoso subjects ap pearing In thu Coos Tim- rimn, Juno 25th, or at nny other time. Tho artlclo appearing In tho Coos Bny Hnrbor somo wcoks ago, when tho tanglo wns first discovered, wa8 tho result of an Interview with Mr. Mc Danlels, the editor, had In tho street In North Bend, and not In nny "nowB- ,.,.-. ..,v.., mm mi. .ui'innicis cor rectly quotod mo when ho stated thnt I had snld thnt tho mnddln wn nh. or an error In stnklng tho pint or In Btnklng tho rond, or words to thnt orrcct.

I mado tho Banm explanation of tho nffnir ,., oxpressed annoynnco at being 'com polled to do this line work which pre vented mo from llnlni. nth- .J...I. ordored, for tho simple reason tmU 'i man cannot be In two places at tho Bame tlmo very well, und with these contracts under wny tho cor rection of errors ennnot very well the slopes on either nldo of tho right-of-way Ib n. G. to stnrt with, and wo always rend side topography ob well as nlong our right-of-way. But If Mr, Oould meaus that we were not on the correct routes, It Is n strange coincidence that wo should find lines of stakes which agree with the road notes, over, ground which In topo granliv closclv nnnroxlmntos Mr. Gould's profiles. Thero Is nothing to that. Wo get tho ground nil right, and if any errors In tho field occur they nro corrected, and not on tho county's time, elthor do )ou get that?
