(Continued from Page One.)
Tlce from Joseph yesterday told of
a crime that has never been equaled
for blood curdling features before In
Wallowa county, ' And the cause is
said to have been ' jealousy. Winder,
tba murderer, wa Jealous ot some
one, to the extent that hla mind be
came unbalanced and as a result three
Including himself, are dead.
The little city of Joseph Is In tha
spotlight for! awhile In a way that
her people regret Crime of a capital
nature always brings unpleasant not
oriety to a community, and it Is so
In this case. 'Y'''.YY';
But the caus of the Joseph crime
la of Interest and it hrings back the
statement of Clarence Darrow when
he said,, "Jealousy of man and wo
man la one of the chief causes 1 of
crime." Trace the history of human
ity from cover to covsr and you will
find this correct. From the school boy
fight over the favorite girl to the
apartment house, tragedy, to the rural
community of Wallowa county, the
same old story of love of man for
woman plays a part In court records.
Such crimes as the one recorded are
unfortunate all around, and in this
case there "will be no court trials for
people to studyand ponder over for
the principal la the case killed him
self thus preventing the law taking
action. It was noticeable that though
Winder's heart was Inflamed with a
' murderous spirit, ; his temperament
wrought up to the point of despera
tion, still there trickled through all
of his vlclousness sufficient sunshln
and goodness to spare his nine
months old babe and see that It was
la a place of safety before he pulled
the trigger that sent a bullet through
his own heart. ! .
'cation referred to. - ;''.' V.-v;
In the first place, in order to deter
mine the weight and cerdibility to be
'given to said communication, I con-
tlizz the writer had
In or,der to ascertain whether he was '
prompted by selfish and Improper mo,
tlves. Mr. Hockenberry in his com
munication uses this language.; "I
am not violating professional ethics
by writing this letter."
The writer hereof will admit that
h professor Is a "simple school
teacher," but he should ', have been
frank enough to have stated that ho
has abandoned his profession as
school teacher and is now engaged In
the architectural business 'h Tail,
land. He should also have been frank
erough'to the readlers of the O'evxa
'md to have stated that the firm with
which he Is connected attempt -d to
secure he contract for drawing the
p'ans for the La Grande High Behcet
lulldlng, but that the contract wus
t warded by the board of directors to
Mr, Gauntt v , ; ' '
Aa a matter of fact, Mr. HocKcnber
ry endeavored to influence the board
of directors not to advertise for bids
for furnishing the plans and specifi
cations, but the board did advertise
for bids, for furnishing the same, and
bids were submitted by numerous
architects residing in 'the states of
Oregon and Washington. Mr. Gauntt's
design and plans and specifications
Further, ne communication states
that the contract was let for , f 52,
400 and that the building aionV would
cost about $100,000 before It is com
pleted. Nothing can be more mislead
ing than such a statement, indicat-
j ing clearly that the writer of this
communication either dellb: rately mis
represented the facts or was inex
cusably Ignorant of the facta. The
original contract , price was $62,000
but certain changes were maos iu i
the original plans and specifications,
such as changing the atone founda
tion called for in the architects plans
'and specifications to brick, and many
other changes, and the contract was
finally awarded to Bartlett & Roth, of
Pullman, Wash., for $52,400. The
'school board substituted brick foun
dations for stona foundations as it
would make quite a saving in the cost
of the building, and being advised by
contractors that ; brick foundations
were Just as durable and substantial
as stone foundations and wero being
used In the largest modern bandings

erhouse, steam heating and ventll

furnishing of high school building and
also heating, ventilating plant and
plumbing of another ward building,
will cost about $84,000 for ths con
struction of the high school bulld'ng,
as stated by Mr'. Hockenberry in his
.communication. A '
