COMPLAINS MADE ON
NEHALEM ROAD WORK
Vartionia, Oregon, August 6. 1919
Dear kMitor of the Mist:
1 hopo you will publish this letter.
It I Intended for the Interest of the
Pittsburg and the St. Helens road
I Plnt out to you the condition In a
way thla district I. run. The work
II s&ll Unlfl Atnm In at.. ..
of the district. Instead of working
-' m di. neiens they are
working up to get tha road com
plated to Timber, because we have a
commissioner living up there. It
ooes not look rii,i i ..... .ii . ,
T. up ,'hero- It shows whore his

they can run thla district, with thuir
own relation, and If I should make
any remarks or say I think big tax
payers waa entitled to a days work
u win say -non of your
business Who I Cet to work n, .1....
1 work." That la Urn wv I h...
been called down, so you see they
have got everything In thuir own
hands. I have no doubt that Mr.
weed will work very hard to keep
llert Mills In r.i.H ...nn,.i....
Cause they run this district anion
iiioiimiihi una ineipeopio down here
dare to say anything. Mr. J. Weed
has talked In favor of this Plttsbura
road to St. llolmis, but his work
shows to the contrary. They have
been putting the work In the upper
end of the district, and at the same
rate they been rocking the road they
may got the road rocked to Ver
nonla In ahout ten years. You don"t
need to tske anybody's word for thla.
t'oine over and aee of you don't
think It Is time to Change these con
ditions and when you get a road to
Timber you have got no place. Run
up to a railroad station up In thb
mountain, that la tha end of the
road, and we may have a depot at
Vernonla before the road Is done to
Timber.
Yours truly,
ANDHEW PARKER.
The editor of the Mist does not
question the sincerity of Mr. Parker,
but It believes he Is mistaken. The
editor of the Mist knows, by his
former official association with
Commissioner Weed, that the St. Hel-ens-Pittsburg
road liaa his unquali
fied support and moreover, that he
has worked hard' to accomplish what
little has been dona on the road. The
idltor also knows that Bert Mills
did his work so satisfactorily that
siveral county courts have retained
Inn aa road supervisor. In the words
or the Immortal Mr. Raatas of the
Mine Klin Club, "we disagree with
Hrother Parker," and we believe it
he Investigates tha situation, he will
acknowledge that he la mistaken.

Swift & Company is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and ifteful
ness are only outward
symbols of the intelli

ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it
Will not Government direc

now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex
perience and devotion of these
men, which is the life itself of
the industry?
What legislation, what politi

life and brains, once driven out?
