The Herald , said today: Like the cat with nine lives, the "Stak" circular refute to die. ' At- . tempts have been made to chloroform n, and forgot the whole transaction, ' tut that rIho has failed to work. Sev- eral times each day either the circu lar or Its content can be heard aa ' ttie subject of discussion. The little pink missives have become so scarce that It not uncommon to see two-bit and four-bit pieces offered for one hen It Is placed In sight. . Now, however, ' the pendulum Is winning the other way. Home one bus taken the trouble to look tip facte pon which they have based an in vestigation, with the result that the Ministers' association sent the follow ing statement, duly signed by each 'member of that body, to the Herald fur publication. Here Is the state snout,, verbatim: Minister Explain. We, the Ministers' association, have ecome thoroughly convinced that the charges In the circular against Judge Smith are untrue and therefore has to correct the same. We are oon tlnced of the error for the following Krasonn We obtained a friendly Interview wltfc Judge Smith, after which we wade further careful Investigation. We find two of the well known nttor rye of the Fuller case who gave us ! BEST COAL $8.50 1 l-PER TON--! Ftrk Spring Lump and koch spring nir. ; PHONE MAIM 10. l Prompt Delivery I Stock on Hand. Big the unqualified declaration that dur ing the second trial of the Fuller case, the trial ' In question, Judge Smith's conduct was absolutely Irreproachable. Also the jurors as far as interviewed, say the same thing. One of the at torneys In this trial further said that Judge Smith was the best judge he every saw. absolutely fearless and Im partial. We further apologise to the judge and to the public for allowing these charges against the Judge to get Into our circular for the following reasons: 1. The charges were entirely Ir relevant to the purpose of our circu lar. Judge Smith believes in the en forcement of the' laws as much as we do. 2. We blundered In not seeking an Interview with Judge Smith before publishing anything against him. We did Interview the other officials whom we mentioned. The blunder evidently was made through' the hurried man ner and limited time in which the circular was prepared. S. With humility we confess unfor tunate a thing as the testimony of the condemned men, Fuller and Parker, to creep Into our circular. We abso lutely abhor such a proposition as fellowship with criminal In so noble a cause as that of law-enforcement and civic righteousness. 4. We want nothing but what is absolutely clean and fair and Just and true. We want the public to know that we are In for fair play and that we are Just aa fearless and vig orous to correct a mistake as we are to piihh a righteous campaign against the lawless open-town policy. We thank the public for the en couragement given the movement thus f.ir. We assure them that they can depend upon us for fair play. liespcrtfulty, TUK .MINISTER!' ASSOCIATION. P. S. DULIN. t? K.. It.

R. tc N. railroad company to terminate a protracted litigation that has been in progress for more than one year, says the Union. For their 1905 taxes which became delinquent In 1906, the com pany la Indebted to the county in th sum of t3K.SS5.86. For the 1901 taxes, delinquent In 1907, the com pany owes 124,042.24. As yet the company has made no effort to settle their taxes for the year 1907, which became delfnquent in June, 1908 amounting to $32,841.91. The as sessed value of the O. R. ft N. prop erty to 11,622,990. Last year, suit was brought by the company to recover the taxes due, but the railroad secured temporary Intnnctlon unlnat h rnnnry t Join ing County Treasurer J. F.

At this stage of the litigation, the case rested; but will now be renewed by the county and prosecuted with vigor.

The : re ports brought back by Fred McCon nell, city engineer, after his visit U the coal mines at Roswell, are very glowing and indicate that the pros pects are good for development tc show good deposits. The mine Is situated 12 mile from the Oregon state line and 14 miles southwest of Roswell. Rocky presence of coal below and two tun nels have been run, one about 900 feet and the other 500 feet. Coal In the longer tunnel Is not ol a superior quality until It reaches tc about the 900 foot line, but from there on in as far as they have, gone the quality Is that of the Lehigh valley anthracite. The vein Is about 14 feet wide In the long tunnel and 11 feet In the short one. Three men are at work and mules -are used to pull the cars back and forth. The developer of this claim are Charles Lyons and a Mr. McOuffey. Other prominent men are said to be interested as silent partners, and some . of these ' arc thought to be successful promoters. The mine Is especially well located within a mile and a half of a remark ably fine power site. The Owyhee river flows through a narrow canyon at this place and though the fall In the river la not very great, the "cur rent to swift and capable of produc ing unlimited power. With these con ditions It is not difficult to imagine power lines running to the new mines.

All bridge contracts are advertised as the law requires, and I would advise Mr. Chambers to come and examine the records before he gets Into print again. I don't like to make myself notorious by getting my name In the paper, neither do I like to have any one make statements about our coun ty court which they cannot substan tiate. I will ask the gentleman In question: Why did you let this kick of yours run from one to two years? There must be something more than the benefit to the tnrpayer. Don't you think the coming election woke up your slumbering memory? In the future I possibly shall pay no at tention to what you may have to sav. and would not at this time, only 1 want to show the people that they must not believe all you say Just nrior to an election.
