The Miul continues to misrepresent both the Rogue
River pumping proposition and Big Butte Springs prop
osition, in the interest of the Hamilton proposition for
water from Fish lake. It declares that it is actuated only
with a desire to benefit the people, and declares for fair
play, and then proceeds to he unfair.
.; ' In its blackmailing column, headed, "So the People
May Know," the idea and name of which was stolen from
the Deliver Post, as well as the methods, , the Mail states
that the Hamilton plan costs $23,310 less than the Big
Uutte Springs plan, when as a matter of fact the cost of
the Hamilton plan will be $1254,100 and the cost of the
llafer plan to the city will be .f2Ul2,410. It is also asserted
that no itemized cost of a pumping plant lias been sub
mitted by the Condor company, when as a matter of fact
there is a contractor's- bid of 1 L7,800 for completing the
work. . . . 4,
There is no partnership in either imposition for the
city, as asserted by the Mail. The city will own either of
the plants out right. Jut lie pumping proposition, the plant
is leased to the Condor company for operation under city
direction. In the IJig Butte Springs proposal the lumber
company is given the right to use the lumber flume as long
as certain conditions are observed.
The Mail showed its unfairness in publicly asking cer
tain (piestions of Dr. Hay concerning his water offer, chal
lenging a reply, and then refusing to print the answers to
the questions propounded, leaving its readers to infer that
the questions had never been answered.
The Mail questions the statement that the proposed
flume from Dig .Butte Springs will carry twice the water
of the proposed Hamilton wood pipe. The authority for
the statement is Kngiueer Roberts, who drew the plans.
The capacity of the flume is nearly 700 inches, while the
capacity of the pipe is 215 indies. . ..
But; who expected fair play of the Mail does not "the
ox knoweth his owner ami Nic ss his master's crib," even
though the animals are in liver v?
