The anoint ion in made in an inter
view in the Portland Journal of Alandi
1, II H folluVVK:
"Marvey V. Seott. editor or llie Or
eonian, through that paper, is making
nn effort to bemnirrh my reputation lie
erinm he think I Know of I) x'ml
enee of tlie I ton me Scott runt met in
volvinff t lie jr.nnn senatorial dml, ' '
itaid V. H. U'Hen thi morning in din
ensuing tin' attaek made upon hhn in
which he was annsid f having in in
managed the affair of the Seth Low
riling estate of Milwaukee.
'Mil regard to that eontrnet whieb
Mr. Bentt iloen not remember to Imvi
made," continued Mr. ("Ken, "I will
say that if Mr. Seott will Mie (ieoigr
Putnam, editor of the Medford Trib
line, who pnMifdied the story of the
deal, for eriminal I ibid, or if he will
bring net inn against the American
Magazine, which iiIho pn hi lulled it, ho
that tho en He can be brought to trial
and the evidence brought out, by the
time tho on tie 1h finished even Mr. Scott
will ho miro that the contract wan writ
ten find tho deal made. Mr. Scott at
tho present time reminds me of tlx
Iritdimnn who, when culled upon by
the court to plead guilty or not guilty,
fiflid, 'How enn L tell how to plead,
your honor, until after I have heard
tho evidence?' "
In jiixtico to Mr. (T'Rcti, it tdionhl
ho fit ted that details regarding the
Ilonrne Scott contract were not secured
from him.
DEVELOPMENT LEAOUE MEET.
Tho Development league meeting
Tuesday evening was u most success
fill affair, ami it is ton bad that simi
lnr ineetH cannot be held more f re
fjuoutly.
Mr. Itichardsnii brought nut phi in h
what tho community need n Hceretaiy
of tho f'omuii'rciiil (dub who will do
vote his whole lime In it, a larger pub
lieity fund and the taking advantage
of colonist rates to Hceure an army ol
homeeekern.
Mr, Itiehardstin called .fudge Cnlvie
"tho great ent enmniereial club presi
dent in Oregon," and hit the nail on
the head. Medford is extremely lucky
hi having such an accomplished and en
tnrtaining orator to preside over hei
publicity body and welcome her guests.
Tho visit of the Jacksonville boost
ors was a pleimunt surprise and show:
that the county seat is awake and on
tho map. Enterprise and hustle were
exhibited in the visit and nil Medford
regrets that notice of the visit was
not received in time to afford a bet
ler welcome. iext time, tli: opera
house will bo readv and a brass band
will meet the visitors.
