Col Wood On Van
Gilses' Letter
Colonel C. F. S. Wood makes
the following comment on
Robert van (Jilse's letter which
occupied two and a half columns
in the Nyssa Sun:
It seems to nie Mr. van Qiloi
presents his view of the case in
I very temperate ami courteous
way. I agree with him that
J'.i'l grants have all been grafts
and that it would be a good
thing to coniftl in some wav
the man who will not use land
( t() gjvjl way to y0 who wjl
J know of only two such legal
u.ievcs. 1 The Single Tax or

to gain ground that I am or any
one is opposed to Private Irri
gation Companies, (liven sub
stantial men a fair business
like contract and I certainly
will favor any Company who
will bring water to arid lands.
I am committed to (iovernmeut
Irrigation and I prefer it to
this particular Private Filter

me a- if it, with no settled and
disclosed plans, had prematurely
rushed into a field and made a
factional light against govern
ment or any other occupation of
that field though the govern
ment was lirst on record. I
gave only one or two criticisms
of the contract. It seems to me
it is open to many possibly I
am mistaken. 1 have no douht
Mr VU) q ,eu,v,.p u j,.
l..,.Hilv ami naturally lie will
feel very strongly toward the
men whom he thinks are trying
to kill a worthy enterprise ami
keep water from the land.
From what is known of it how
ever the Boise Futcrprisc is the
one which lirst hegan to try
and throttle the government's
effoi ts to give water to the people.
I think every effort siiould be
made to stop this hitter factional

A. Ni Solis.s arrived home
Sunday from Seattle and Port
laud. In company with his
wife and sou he took iu the
fair. Mr. Soliss says the Ore
gon exhibits are line and the
only frost is the eihibil at the
Idaho building, the display
there not being credible to
what the state can produce in
mineral, agricultural and horti
culture and the criticism of the
Idaho Commission by the Boise
papers is justifiable. Outside of
this the fair is all that could he
exnected. Mrs. Soliss and sun
will remain in Portland until
the weather is cooler.
The report that there were
over HI cuses of typhoid fever
at Vule seems greatly exagger
ated, as the Vale papers claim
there are only eight cases and
one death from the epidemic.
The Vale city council has
authorised thecitv health ollicer,
Dr. S. D. Taylor, to use every
means to stamp out the disease.
The city of Vale will install a
new sewerage and water system
to improve the sanitary condi
tion. Mayor Mulkey was iu

securing information along the
lines helpful iu instituting such
improvements.
