Mr. Editor, while talking of roads, would it not

two or three thousand dollars on eacn main roaa

went in debt for a new court house. We do not
oniDlaln.but how much better would it be if we
would o in debt the same amount for srood roads
so we could gel to the court house all times of
the year, and not only about lax paying time. 1 ne
neonle out in this direction are ever willing to do
their share. An effort will be made to induce the
court to nlve us three miles of clank road. The
people to grade and lay down the plank, the court
to furnish planks, spikes, etc, flense use your
influence In that direction.
If the paners will take no the farmers' burden
and the farmers come in three thousand strong,
the court itself belli? farmers. I have no doubt
but they would be willing to go in debt even a
hundred thousand more and tt wouldn't be to
much, as the farmers would then get some heneflt
of their taxes. At the present time ifyouaska
farmer- whv he navs taxes he after answers, so
those fellows in the court house can have a soft

Copy of Letter to Independent.
Obeoon City, March 18th.
Editor Canbv Independent Dear Sir: As to
your honesty and fairness in making misquotions
Mid unwarrauiauie ueuuciwu num. mowau

bad altacaea, we mini iv hib imipw hi juukv.
It is certaiuly unique conduct in modern Journal
ism. . ..,.,.,
On March 3rd vou admitted tne lairs properties,
fl ur mills, woolen mills, pulp and paper mills,
lobe assessed at something like a fair estimate.
In the issue of March 17th you say that all the
fall's properties do not pay one-teuth of their juat
share of taxation, and falsely charge me with
coi fcssedlv fldim'.t ng tne samo.
While admitting the increase in assessment on
the woolen mills to be fair, you denounce Mr.
Stout for the Increase on the P. G. E. Co 's
properties, which was nearly eight times as much.
You quote from my let er "some of u- know the
opposite of this," nnd deliberately misconstrue
tne sentence, apjmreuuy to vnm a dim, ... , u
you keep up the misrepresentation in difterent
ninles. Yuii sav alleeed lea lers of the party, In
sisted that the assessment oi the P.G. E Co .should
be one million, but Mr. Myers after careful con
sideration fairly and honestly flxsd it at about
half, ;i20,00J.
In your 3rd editorial or mis issue you tay;
l ot i,a men he made to show their books to
th end that the assessor may deal fairly with all
without fear or favor."
This Is exactly now tne assessment ui tne r. u.

queer, as you Bay, and makes the party look
foolish. i
Your articles are subject to mucn severer erino

that with th i best Intentions, as you quote, hell is .

Whole Family .Greatly Helped by
Thi3 Medicine.
"I am an old run down soldier, my
whole system being out of order and my
right side partially paralyzed. I have
tried various remedies and realized only
temporary relief. I have been taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills, and
have derived more real benefit from them
than anything I have tried. My wife has
been greatly helped by Hood's Sarsapa
rilla. She waa all run down and her
system much oat oi order. My two little
boys recovered quickly from the effects
of diphtheria by taking Hood's rSarsapa-
rilla, which rid them of troublesome sores
and symptoms of the croup. They era
now well and hearty." W. P. Bchnett,
