THE, FORUM
er is at present a farmer and my
sister a farmer's wife. I am famil
iar with a wide variety of farm life
having practiced my profession in
farming communities during the last
twenty years and know whereof I
speak. . .
I repeat also that a system of
roads . that are good even when H
mins goes far to alleviate these con
ditions in any country, and that the
best way to build these roads is in
accordance with the experience of
those who have already done so.
I would refer you to leading edi
torials in our largest newspapers; to
publications issued by the U. S. gov
ernment on the subject, and to re
ports of leading engineers. I shall
not trouble you with any further com
munication on this subject as I am
convinced that your mind is not un
biased thereon, or you ' would not
"twist" meanings as you do, nor would
you use part of a sentence in a com
munication to meet your ends with
the effect of deteriorating the writer
personally. . . . . '
Yours truly,
M. K. HALL.
In reply, let the public read the two
articles one by Dr. Hall and the
other an editorial comment in Wed
nesday's Observer. . ;
This paper will abide by the pub
lic's decision as to whether any twist
ing was done to the Doctor's article.
The original manuscript, of . Dr.
Hall's communication is on file in this
office and is exactly as it appeared
in the paper.
Wle will sky frankly, that our mind
is not biased, .Mit it is thoroughly
made up to the fact that we aire not
going to stand meekly by and see a
mortgage of nearly half a million dol
lars put on Union county wihen some
other, cpunties of the state have tried
it and are almost bankrupt from its
effect.
We.do hot believe that Dr.' Hall can
conscientiously accuse us of attempt
ing to do anything with intent of de
teriorating him personally. Such an
accusation willbe dismissed by the
public with a smile, for it is too well
known that during (his career in pub
lic life this paper many times stood
loyally by him. But in this hard
surface bonding plan We believe he
is wrong, and hence -will ODDose him.

La Grande, March 23. (To the Edi
tor). I wish to call your attention to
certain misstatements made in your
editorial of yesterday concerning cer
tain passages in my communication of
same date . Your imputation that I
said that the women and girls of this
County are stunted and narrow is a
misstatement and therefore untrue.
I said that imany of them because
of their isolated condition became
heart sick and even stunted in their
narrow existence, and this I now re
iterate. Please note that I said many
of them.

GRANGE DEBATES BONDS ,
After Discussion Opposition Resolu
tion Tabled For a Time
Oove, March 22. rTo th Editor
Mt. Fannie Grange met as usual
Saturday. March 18. and after en
joying a splendid dinner and St. Pat-
nek's day program,, proceeded to dis
cuss the bonding (for roads) pro
position, v
Resolutions denouncing bonding,
similar to the resolutions adopted by
Blue Mountain Grange, were submit
ted for adoption and after a sharp
discussion, it was decided to debate
the question.
Messrs. M. L. Carter and George
Miller, against it, cited high taxes and
graft and the selfish interests back
of certain parties promoting the bond
ing campaign as argument against
bonds.
Jess Dalton (talking for bonds)
cited raised land values wherever
good roads have already been built
ne also pleaded the acknowledged
general lack of -reliable information
on the subject, a sufficient reason
why resolutions against the proposed
bonds should not be adopted; die in
sisted and urered thaf the Grano-e be
pledged open for information' on the
subject instead , of adopting resolu
tions condemning it. . . ... ..
ains. stacxiand, also talking in
favor of bonds, produced some figures
to show that the interest and sinking
fund on the proposed bonds would not
eaual two (2) mills on the nresent
assessed valuation, which) is no more
icnan we are at present paying for
j dirt roads.
-Also, that at the present time 70
j per cent of the road money raised in
j a district must be spent there, thus
effectually preventing the construc
jtion of any length of hard-surfaced
I' road in any one district, at one time.
At the. close of the debate, the
Anti-Bonding . Resolutions .were voted
(tabled,. and a committee consisting of
i Geo. Miller,. J. (W.. Ingram and Chris.
jStacktand was appointed to procure
; some efficient debaters for tooth Bides
of the question; this debate to be held
some time in the near future. Also
; committee was instructed to insist on
(the speakers bringing . reliable, data
j to prove any statements, they intend
to mane, or remain at home.
An invitation is extended to all
voters to come in and have a big gen
eral discussion of the subject from
all the points that it will affect the
tax-paying and traveling public.

The Bigger the Dinner the More Coats
You Wear
Berlin, March 3. (By Mail) John
B. Jackson, former American Minis
ter to the Balkans, now attached to
the embassy in Berlin, tells of his
meeting with the old King of Monte
negro in Cetinje. .
"In Montenegro," Jackson said, all
officials wear clue shirts every day
and over these,' blue coats. When
they go" to the palace on ordinary
business they, slip on" a gtreen coat
over, the blue one, but at royal din
ners they put on a white coat over
the blue and green ones. ,
"That evening I dined with His
Majesty, I was on one side and the
foreign minister on the other. All
of us had on the regulation three
coats. As the dinner progressed we
got wanner and warmer and finally
the old king said: "Mr. Minister, you
get on one side and Mr Jackson on
the other and help peel me out of
this white coat. It's too hot.

Take the trail of any real wise smoker with a pipe between his
teeth and snatch a mellow whiff of fragrant "Tux."
Then you'll right away hunt up the nearest tobacco shop and gladly
intern a dime in exchange for a green tin of pure smoke-delight.
"Tux" is going ahead of them all with a speed that makes it look
like a race between a 60-horse-power motor-car and a steam roller.
It's the fastest-growing brand of smoking tobacco in the world.

Bird Protection Saves Farmers 80
Million.
Winnipeg, Man., March 22. -Game
preservatoin in Manitoba, North Da
kota and Minnesota was argued here
today by the Audubon society. De
claring that it represented "the 96
per cent of the population that does
not shoot prairie chicken," the society
asks for laws protecting the bird
whose eggs, it says, have largely
Deen destroyed by frost. The protec
tion of Plover, woodcocks, snipes and
sand pipers would save American
agriculture ($80,000,000 a year the
society says, because these creatures
live on seeds and insects.
