Exceptions to the Observer's recoil,

with to furnish the pipe for the La
Grande project" The appended is self
explanatory: '
Spokane, Wash., July 3,1911. Edi
tor Evening Observer, La Grande, Or
egon. Dear Sir; Our attention has
been directed to an article appear
ing In your columns of June 29th In
reference to sewer contract recently
awarded in your city and dealing in
particularly with the size and grade
of aewer pipe to be used, tbe specifi
cations providing among other things,
for pipe in joints of 30 inches in
length. ' . ' j
In the first place we beg leave to
correct the impression that seems to
prevail that pipe of this length is of
unusual or odd slal'j as this Is not the
case. It is true that factories on the
'coast do not manufacture sewer pipe
in lengths exceeding 24 inches and It
must also be remembered that a num
ber of these plants are working under
obsolete methods and ; have not as
yet improved their facilities to pro
duce pipe equal to that manufactured
in the modern plants.
The larger, plants in the east and
middle west manufacture pipe of
larger diameters almost exclusively
in two and one half foot length In or
tlcle of the 29th of June,
lng methods and in this connection
we must compliment your city upon
employing an engineering firm who
have exacted such requirements. A
mong the many advantages to be
gained through the use of a longer
length pipe may be mentioned the re-
( ductlon in number of joints with con
sequent lessening of possibility of
seepage and saving in labor.
Your statement reflecting of the
quality of output and capacity of our
factory is evidently done through a
misunderstanding and with no Inten
tion of Injury, but it is no doubt mis
leading to many of your readers. Our
factory built at a cost exceeding quar-
! ter of a million dollars is the largest,
most modern and best equipped of any
plant in the wfcst, and as a matter of
Information will state that were It not
for other business and if we were
working on pipe for your city exclu
sively. It would be turned out in a few
days.
We also wish to correct another im-
lpresslOn that your readers may have
gained, that is, that if 30 inch Length
pipe was a non-standard pipe as stated
there would be no inclination on the
part of this company to take any ad
vantage whatever as our many custo
mers will testify, a number of whom
have known and dealt with u8 since
the starting of the company In 1888.
We know through your desire for
fairness that you will accord this let
ter the sarnie publicity In the columns
of your valuable paper as given the ar
ticle of the 29t hof June. -
In closing, we beg to extend to you
and the officers of your city an invita
tion to visit not only our stewer pipe
plant at Spear, but also our pressed
brlck and terra cotta plant at Clayton,
our brick plant at Freeman and our
lime works at Bay View, Idaho, each
of which Is the largest and Its several
products the best of thfclr respective
kinds In the northwest and which we
know would easily convince you and
others Interested as to the good qual
ity of our products.
