HILL ANSWERS PIERCE.
Starkey Land Owner Affirms lie Is
Not "'Holding Up" Ham Site.
Starkey March 28 (To the editor)
Kindly allow me space In your paper
to answer a statement made by Walter
M. Pierce at the irrigation meeting
held in La Grande on March 20, that
one of the land owners in the reser
voir site district had refused to con
eider any offer for his land less than
$138 per acre. As I am the only one
that dirt not flfeo on tirino tv!!i the
company two years ago, I suppose I
am the party referred to. But I have
never asked any company or any per
son $1S8 per acre for any land or
even one half that much and I have
never asked the company any more
than I would ask of a private party
or any more than I have been offered
by a private party. Mr. Fierce has
been misinformed by some one as I
never asked any such price. H. T.Hill.
