Reports Trorh the mines during January has
warranted a raise, consequently stock has gone
up to 7i cents, and this is not all, it will keep
going up as long as the property gets better, as
it is you should buy before another raise in
price, or you will miss a good investment. You
should consider this as being a home enterprise
and help the matter along, heceby helping
yourself. ' " ,

As milk is the natural food for -the,

the requirements of the tody, and
as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorb
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially the young, depend to a
great extent upon those who handle
the milk. And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk' after being drawn
from the cow, Every consumer

JUSTIFIES
lERKORD
To the Editor of the Observer:
On account of what
appears to be a studied attempt to mis
represent my position upon certain ques
tion about which the public has a right
to be informed, I wish to say:
No man in the State of Oregon has
more admiration for the courage, integrity
ability and patriotism of President Roose
velt than I have.
I am not an enemy of any class of
people laboring men, or otherwise on
the contrary, the laboring man with hard
ly an exception, in this community, are
all my personal friends, . I have never
opposed labor legislation, when 1 believed
it to be right, nor have .1 ever failed to
vote against such a legislation when I be
lieved it to be wrong. If that made labor
organizatione regard me as an enemy. I
am willing to be so classed.
iniuwi iwr iiw vui uiai t cast in
the legislature, and any person or set pf
persons, feeling aggrieved at any official
aot of mine, is at perfect liberty to. make
such criticism as they desire. While a
member of the state Senate, I did not
vote for or against any measure, that
under the tame circumstances and with
the same knowledge, I would not vote in
the tamo way again,
It hat been reported that I voted
against the Fellow Servant Law. I did
not vote against the Fellow Servant Law,
on the contrary. I voted, together with
every other member of the State Senate,
in favor of the passage of that law,
The particular measure which accused
the antagonism of certain people was
what was known as "Senator Bill No.
60," introduced by Senator Malarky,
being a bill limiting the hours the hours of
service of railroad employes, and, in my
judgment containing many obnoxious
feature. The vote upon that bill will be
found upon page 2S5, of the Senate Jour
nal of 1908, and the vote upon that
measure, upon its final passage was as
follows: Those voting "yea" in favor of
the bill, were Senators Brownell, Goshnw
Howe, Malarky, Miller and Wright a total
of ix in favor of the hill) those voting
'nay ana in opposition to the bill were.
Senators Avery. Booth, Bowerman, Carter
Coe, Coke, Crolsan, Farrar, Haines, Hob-
son, Holman, Layoock, Loughary, Mc
Donald, Pierce, Rand. Sichel, Smith, Tut-
tle, Whealdon and. Mr. President; there
being two members of. the Senate absent
to wit. Senators May and Fottingham,
making a total of 22 voting "nay" six
voting "yea" and two absent.
It hae been reported that I said if
could have my way,' I would wipe off
from the statues all laws favorable to
labor. This, statement it abwlutelyjwith
out foundation and was never made by
me at any time or place, anybody's stated
ment, to the contrary, notwithstanding.
so rar it is claimed mat 1 am a corpo
ration lawyer, I have only to say that
represent quite a number of clients, some
of whom are corporations, but most of
whom are individuate. I do not know
single lawyer in tne state, having any
consideable amount of business, whq does
not number among his clients a greater
or less number of corporations, and I do
not know a lawyer in the state , who is
not perfectly willing to act as attorney
for corporations whenever their business
is offered to him, the same as he would
for any individual.
So far as the Primary is concerned,
am neither in favor of It nor opposed to
it; I am, however, in favor of giving it a
fair trial and if it is found to work satis
factorily, to retain it upon the statutes,
and if not to repeal it.
