What a large family to have kept
so well together.
In regard to contract for pipe and
water works: Adkios & Webb's
bill was more than $1000 less than
Portland or any other bids. M. Pur
dia was mayor at this time. D. T.
Lawton, J. W. Short, L. L. Angle
and D. A. Huling were trustees,
and D. T. Sears was recorder. All
these were in the family, and Hu
ling, one of the trustees, was in the
hardware business. Mr. Purdin
ought to know a second hand boiler
when he sees it, as he knows some
thing about iron. If it was second
hand it has lasted well; but I bought
it new in San Francisco at a cost
of about $650.
In regard to scrip: Some one
had to buy it; I bought it for other
parties. I have not $5 in scrip is
. ..sued in '94 and '95, and when I did
buy I paid more than others would
pay. If it was such a snap why did
. not others get some of it.
Warrants are paid up to Novem
ber, 1891, which makes them only
. a little over four years old.
As far as the growth of the Monitor
being retarded it seems to be grow
ing less, even if it is a congressional
boomer.
As regards the nefarious business,
I leave the people to judge of that
and not the Monitor or D. T. Sears.

The boiler at the pumping station
refered to in the above was set up
by. Mr. Ridenhour and myself. I
am perfectly willing to make oath
that it was a new boiler throughout.

; J A Few Pertinent Questions.
Friends of the People's ticket desire
us to give space for the following state
ments and questions:
Not a candidate on the People's
ticket now holds one dollar's worth of
town warrants, and not one of them has
ever bought any warrants except the
three which Mayor Haskins bought
at 100 cents 011 the dollar.
Three years ago town warrants were
selling at "0 cents on the dollar. To
day they are selling for from 80 to 90
cents. Why is this? Here is the an
swer. By strict economy in tho
management of the town's affairs we
are now catchiDg up on the payment of
outstanding warrants and at the same
time the improvements of tho town are
keeping pace with the actual demand.
Note tho figures in the recorder's
statement, published elsewhere.
Amount of money received by tho
town during the year 1895, $5942.50.
Amount of all warrants issued
during the year $43(30, and of this
last mentioned amount $1400 was
for permanent improvents those
of water pipe extensions and from
these the town is now, and will con
tinue, to derive a direct revenue far
in excess of tho interest on the war
rants. The difference between tho
town receipts and the warrants drawn
is $1576.56. Is that not a much belter
showing than has been made any pre
viousyear? Is it not a fact that up to
two years ago the town was going fur
ther in debt each year.
Let mo ask the voters to think back
just twelve months on mutters pertain
ing to election. Do you not remember
that last January those who are now
supporting the Citizens' ticket were
then supportors 01 vj. J . uowara.' Mr
Howard, by the assistance of a great
many voters rrora the opposition uck
et, was elected to the position of coun
cilman of this town. Today the sup
porters of the Citizens' ticket are work
ing as hara to defeat him as they last
January worked to elect him. Why?
They have discovered that he was not
made up of the material they wanted.
In other words they couldn't han
dle him. They couldn't hold any
strings over Charlie Howard. They
have now found it out and they don't
want him any more.
Why do not the friends of the Citi
zen's ticket refer with glowing elation
to that hole in the ground which
Messrs. Merriman and Miller voted for
and which "Stud Poker Finance"
Flvnn said was to be an artesian well
with a easing around it and wbioh was
to cost the town $3500. All this ex
penditure of the town's money and no
guarantee whatever that the town
would have a drop of water when the
hole was dug and the $3500 paid. Is this
good financiering? Is that the manner
in which you voters conduct your own
business.' Would you, in your every
day business transactions, make a con
tract guaranteeing the payment of a
sum of money without a guarantee
from the other party that be should
elve you value received? Mayor Has-
kin's veto saved the town the expendi
ture of $3,500. Is not Mr. Haskins a
safe man to hare at the head of our
city government? Councilman Starr
is now a candidate for re-election on
the People's ticket. Do you voters,
you men who own little homes, and
who help to pay our taxes feel unsafe
with the town s business in his hands.
Messrs. Howard, Lawton and Plyntale
are the gentlemen who make up the
remainder of the council men on the
People's ticket. Do you not feel quite
secure with these gentlemen handling
the town's affairs? Don't you know
that there will be no extravagant ex
penditures of money while these men
are in office? Haven't they proven
their position? The Citizen's candi
dates have proven theirs, but how?
The Medford correspondent to the
Jacksonville Times speaks of the Peo
ples ticket as the " 'Mossback' ticket,
and says many people watit more elec
tric lights but the M. B.'s Mossbacks
are opposed to that." ''Mossback"
ticket is good. Ordinarily the term
mossback is applied with the intent of
insult and that is unquestionably the
intent of the writer who in this in
stance applies the epithet to the
friends of the People's ticket. If the
friends of tho People's ticket are moss
backs, let me tell you right here that
the moss backs represent, own and pay
taxes on nine-tenths of the taxable
property a the town of Medford. "Tho
mossbacks opiwse electric lights."
Is it little wonder that the taxpayers
who own little homes in the suburbs of
the town are opposed to the town pay
ing $40 or $50 or perhaps an $100 per
month for electric lignts to ngut
the business part of tho town and
these lights to run only until twelve
o'clock? This increased expenditure
of the town's money don't cut much of
a figure with those fellows who own
$10,000 or $l",0OO's worth or property,
but to the smaller taxpayers it is a bur
den difficult to stand up under. Why?
Because that the fellow who owns
$10,000 or $15,(MMs worth of property
pays taxes on not to exceed oi!0; the
bulk of bis wealth beiiiff covered in
such a manner as to escape even tho
eagle eye of the assessor, with the
smaller taxpayer who owns a little
home valued, let us say at $500, is com
pelled to pay taxes upon three-fourths
the actual value of his property. Who.
then does the increased taxation fall
heaviest upon?

Mr. Carpenter' a Reply.
Editor Medford Mail: Will you
please allow me space in your valuable
paper to answer that Open Letter
which appeared in TnE Mail of Fri
day January 3d, 1896, by one Austin S.
Hammond. He says, that in a moment
of mental aberration, he consented to
become a candidate for the office of
Mayor. I was not aware of his mind
wanderings when I placed my account
in his hands for collection, which ac
count he admits he did collect. Some
time in January 1891 I placed an ac
count of $2T6 in the hands of ono Aus
tin Hammond and his partner Briggs,
Attorney at Law, for collection in
favor of Oscar Carpenter, (myself ho
Co.) and against the S. P. D & L. Co.
This account was balance due me for
lime furnished on contract of tho
Grants Pass opera house and S. P. D.
& L. Co. were tho contractors. At
the time I placed the accouut in the
attorney's hands for collection they
(the attorneys) were living in Ashland
and I was living in tho mountains; my
postofllce address was Phoenix. In
the course of a month or so after the
account was placed in tho Attorney's
hands I want to Ashland with tho ex
pectation of getting some money hop
ing they had made a collection. I
went to tho office of Hammond and
asked him about the account, he said
he had been down to Grants Pass but
did not see any of the parties that he
wanted to see and that he had written
several letters to the company about
it. but could not got any definite an
swer. 1 returned to my work and for
some time lost track of Hammond, but
I saw his partner, off and on, when I
chanced to be in Ashland. One day
in July, 1891, the partner, Briggs, in
formed me that the company said they
would not pay it unless I sued them.
I supposed the attorneys knew what
to do better than I did, so I went back
to burning lime up in the mountains.
About the first of July, 1892, 1 met Aus
tin Hammond in Medford and I asked
him how he was making it with the
company. "Well, I bought that ac
count."" Says I. "Whom did you buy
it of ?" "I bought it of your partner."
"What's his name?" says I. "I have no
partner." He finally told mo that my
partner's name was Dudgeon. I told
him Budgeon was no partner of mine
and never was. "Well he says be
was." This conversation took place
on the sidewalk. Then I asked bim it
be had those papers of mine which
consisted of orders and correspondence
between myself and the S. P. D. & L.
Co. He said be had, then I said "I
want them." We went up into his of
fice and while there he showed me a
bill of sale or an assignment of the ac
count that I had placed (n his hands to
collect. I take it for granted that the
assignment reads like he slated in his
open lettor to The Mail. 1 told him
(Hammond) that it was a lie and a for
gery for there is no such company and
never was. He then gave me my pa
pers. He informed me that he had,
or was, to receive lumber in part pay
ment as he bad to have some lumber.
This was the first lime that I met with
him since ou previous meeting in
Ashland, which had been more than
a year before. He further states that
on presentation to .he S. P. 3. & L.
Co., thev denied owing it or any part
of It. and claimed that the lime bad
never been received by them or used
by them, but on the contrary was or
dered for and used by a man by the
name of Peogrift, who bad the con
trac; for doing the brick work and
plastering on the opera bouse block in
Grants Pass, and that they were in no
way responsible for it, Peogrift had
become insolvent and the company
claimed Carpenter 6c Co. were simply
trying to make them pay another
man's debt.
To prove the correctness of the
account with the S. P. D. &. L. Co., I
will add the contents of a postal card
addressed to "Oscar Carpenter, Phoe
nix, Oregon" which is as follows;
Grants Pass Or., Sept. 29. 1S89.
Dear Sir: Don't fail to get the car of
lime here Tuesday. The plasterers
are all here and waiting for it. Ac
cept our thanks. Yours very truly
(Signed) Sugar Pine Door St Lum
ber Co."
Mr. Hammond says, "And on re
porting this to Carpenter ho de
clared that Miller, (the manager
of the company) was a liar and a thief,
that he had promised to see that the
bill was paid.''
The above is simply a falsehood of
Hammond's manufacture, and he
knows it. He never reported any
such thing to me, and I never heard of
it before until 1 saw it in his open let
ter. Of to the conversaiiou between
Hammond and Budgeon I know nothing
about, but I do know this: that in
March lS'.H) I settled up in full with
Budgeon, and paid him the cash ai.d
Budgeon moved away some 5 or 6
miles. And in our settlement I gave
Budgeon an order on Shearer & Judson
for S'St. Budgeon worked for me a year
burning lime: he worked for a per cent,
lit L as a partner doing business. This
was in the year of '.'.i and part of the
firt three months in l'.Ut. This man
Hammond eluims he eollreted the or
der on Slu nivr .1 udson and turned
it over ti Mr. Budgeon after her hus
band's i i i!'e, whether hu did or
ntld"t 'v. He stales that he
elTecteu u tileini-nt with tho com
pany and. luey paid him in install
ments the sum of $li in lull settle
ment of the account. This is another
also statement of his. Mr. Kelley,
the busintss manager of the S. P. U.
& L. Co., gave mo a written statement
of the amount Hammond collected on
that account, which reads as follows:
"$150. Pd. Aug. 29 1892, to Austin
S. Hammond, in full of account."
This does not tally with Hammond's
installment plan and the amount col
lected by him. He says at the time
ho bought the account there was very
little prospect of getting anything out
of it, and Carpenter & Budgeon did
not consider it of any value. This is
another one of his make-up falsehoods.
He knows that Budgeon had left tho
country long beforo ho (Hammond)
had informed me that ho had bought
the account, 1 know this much if I am
a hayseed and advanced in years.
Thanking tho reading public for
their attention to my side of the sub
ject, I remain, Yours Respectfully,
Oscar Carpenter. .
P. S. I would like to say that at the
time Budgeon was working for me, I
burnt between 5000 and 0000 bu. of lime
and I sold between 2 and 3 thousand
bu. to Grants Pass and about the same
amount to Ashland, and the R. R. Go's,
books are open for inspection, and
if I had a partner the books will show
it. O. C.
Electric Light Company's Statement
Editor Mail In your issue of last
week there appeared an article under
tho guise of of being facts. It has not
been our policy to take any part in the
controversy not as wo intend to now
but sinco we have been assailed and
accused of trying to rob tho town of
water works and two or three blocks
of land it behooves us to defend our
selves, aDd place facts instead of fancies
before the public.
When I first camo to Medford with
the idea of putting in an electric light
plant I know nothing about tho water
works. The idea of pumping water
for the town was first suggested by
Recorder B. S. Webb. Acting upon
the suggestion I consulted each mem
ber of the council and I was assured
that if I could save tho town anything
that ,1 should have the contract. I
first made the board a proposition to
do the pumping and furnish a certain
number of arc lights for so much money.
This proposition was laid aside for
further consideration.
At a meeting called the following
evening Mr. Carder appeared on the
scene with a proposal to do the work
for about $100 less. It was decided by
the board to reject both propositions
and the recorder was instructed to ad
vertise for bids for doing the work.
Tho specifications read that all labor,
fuel etc should be furnished also look-
ing after park and ditch. The sue'
ccssful bidder was to take all wood on
hand at cost price. There was noth
ing said about extension of mains as
Mr. Howard would lead the public to
believe. When tho bids were opened
it was found that Mr. Carder was
the lowest bidder and was awarded the
contract. The recorder was instructed
to draw up contract and necessary
bond. When it came to signing tho
contract Mr. Carder failed to connect.
It was then decided to throw out all
bids notwithstanding the fact that
there were three other responsible bids
submitted. Mr. Carder's reason for
not signing the contarct was that he
had figured the work too low having
made an error in bis figuring. There
not being a difference of more than
$95s between the other three bids, shows
that the work was closely figured,
two of the bidders having bad previous
experience in running the pumps.
1 then made the board a proposition
to do the work for $900. This proposi
tion was completely ignored by two
members of the board. I also offered
to take the recorder's figure as to the
actual cost for tho three years previous
taking the average cost for tbe one
year and do tbe work for $100 less than
that amount. We were not to disturb
the pumping plant in any way other
than to simply connect into steam p'.pe
leaving old boiler to be used only
in case of an emergency. We were to
keep up steam and be in position to
furnish pressure for pipe purposes at
any time during tho day or night.
The objection being raised that tbe
park property was not the place for
our plant, we offered to locate on
other property near ditch provided
we were allowed to move the pumps.
This would not necessitate moving
tanks as we would have pumped
directly into mains and consequently
into tanks as is now being done.
Mr. Howard's statement about the cost
being no greater to the town to pump
water for additional customers is abso
lute folly; it savors of the idea of get
ting something out of nothing, but as
there was nothing said about extension
this does ne'.enter into the pro position.
How the location of our plant adjacent
to the water works would give us any
"clnch"on the pumping contract we fail
to see. The only reason why we wanted
the use of the ground for three years
being that we intended putting up a
brlek building at the cost of perhaps
$400, which we think would present a
much neater appearance than the
shack now located there. Could we
reasonably be expected to put up such a
building without the assurance that
it would be allowed to stand there for
at least 3 years?
These are facts and we are here to
substantiate every word contained
herein. Thanking you for the space
given, we remain,

By the will of the Almighty this
community has been deprived of
one of its most respected and be
loved women, Alameda Dawson,
wife of Thos. 1. Dawson, whose
death occurred December 2Gth,
lS'Jo, at the home of her father, D.
Winningham. on Trail creek. Mrs.
Dawson's sud demise will cause
untold sorrow in this community
where she was well and favorably
known and held the high esteem
and respect of all who knew her.
Mrs. Dawson was born in Clacka
mas county, Oregon, March 7, 1SG5.
In lSli'J she removed with her pa
rents to Southern Oregon, where
she met and wedded Thomas Ben
ton Dawson on May 10th, 1SS1.
Mr. and Mrs. Dawson resided on
Trail creek after their marriage
and have been blessed by three
children: Emma Jane aged 13
years, Robert Roy aged 11 years,
and Martha May aged 4 years. It
was with grief that she parted from
her little ones, for with them she
was always happy and in them she
was placing her greatest hopes lor
the future. No one can say that
she was not a devoted and loving
wife and mother.
Mrs. Dawson 'had been ill for
eighteen months with a complica
tion of diseases of which she no
doubt suffered untold pain that she
bore with that brave womanly
spirit, which we all knew she had
and until the last would not give
up.
