Asa result of the slanderous articles that have appeared in the Herald con cerning Carll and for personal miss statements thave been made concerning him the worthy Doctor took Editor Fitch to task Thursday with the result that the populist editor came out a little the worst for the encounter. Dr. Carll holds him self to be an honorable man, above the contemptable acts attributed to him by the populist editor and his resentment of the charges meets the approval of all self respecting men. The-ie are many people in Oregon Oity who would like to visit the cemetery between now and Memorial day, but the distance is so great they cannot stand the walk.

Dye, R. L. Holman, W. 8. Maple, L. C. Caples and Levi Johnson. Dr. Curll's Statement. An open letter to the voters of Clacka mas county: The Oregon City Herald is evidently bound to make me an issue in the present campaign, the statements in that paper this week implicating my self as being responsible for a ticket cir culated about the Btreet, is as false as anything could be. I never saw the ticket until yesterday, I did not know such a ticket was to be printed, I did not advise the printing of it and in fact was as innocent of any connection with it as it is possible for any body to be. I fail utterly to find language to express the profound contempt I have for those who accuse me of it and I believe the editor of the Herald does not believe I was con nected with it but attributed it to me through a desire to satisfy personal ani mosity. Signed, W. E. Carll. Didyou ever think how readily the blood is poisoned by constipation ? Bad blood means bad health and premature old age. DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the famous little pills, overcomes obsti nate constipation. C. G. Huntley, drug gist. Scott vs. r'Krn. To tii Eiutok: Will you oblige me by inserting the following from the Herald in your next issue and my answer to the svtie: "Then as the sum of nil had citinen ship conies, County Commission Giant Powder Scolt, whose assessment has decreased moie than $11,000 since ho was elected, while in Jacob Kisley's on the same acreage has decreased f.ViO while the assessor's deputy draws $4 "a day and th recorder's can only get $2 and Mr. Scott says L pay no taxes. If this was true I imjit not be a had man, but it is not, as I pay one-third of the taxes assessed to dw elling A r'Ken. I shall ttpeak onco more in Milwau kee liefore this campaign closes and will then give Mr. Scott time to justify his action to our neighbors as the superla tive honest man he professes to be. W. S. U'Ricn." To the first in regard to giant Pow der, there being only two companies on the coast of any prominence, we noti fied each company, and as the Califor nia Powder Co. would not go into a combine with the British Vice Consul to raise the price of blasting materikl he sulked and would not put in a hid and then played the baby act, and said we did not advertise, an. I now comes Friend l"Ren, and says in one breath we are extravagant and in the next condemns the county court for try ing to cut down exenses. The second is that I have had my assessment reduced $11. (XX) while J. 8. Risley's has been reduced but $250 in the last three years. Taking for granted we own the same number of acres. My land, today, with my reduc tion, is assessed at i0 on an acre, while Mr. Risley's is assessed at IX! per acre. Mr. Kisley has Zb acres more than I have. Now we will see how my reduction stands in comparison with our school district which is a good compari son, perhaps better than Mr. Kisley. My assessment in 1S02 was 120400, ISO! it was 19200, in ISM it was 117370, the I.u elling property, adjoining my property, in the three years above named was as sessed as follows: 1H03, $10,520; 1S1M, $S038 ; 1805, lTwSO. They sold 7' acres of land iu 1$!5, which I bought, and it was assessed at $100 an acre. Now the school district was assessed in 1W:1, at $295,820; in 1S!M, $243,1)03; in 1805, $510,500. So if any fair minded person will take the above figures and com pare them, they will see that I have not been reduced any more than the average of the whole school district, notwithstanding that about 50 acres of my land is subject to overflow and the crop likely to be destroyed any year, that we have a June freshet, and since the high water of 1804, I have not been able to get a good set of grass again. This is something Mr. Kisley has not to contend with. When it comes to rock land, I have almost as much as Mr. Kis ley, yet it yields me no income by rea son of being back from the river, and no river on my land to ship freight cheaper than I can haul it. In regard to the dep uty recorder's salary, the legislature gave the county court the power to fix the salary, and as any good penman or woman can follow copy we knew the re corder could get 'a good deputy for the amount allowed the assessor's deputy. The statute fixes the salary. And now in regard to Mr. U'Ren paying taxes I still repeat, he does not pay any and will leave it: to the public to judge. He is working for Mrs. Lewellingand gets one third of the profits of the farm after the taxes are paid which is the rent he pays, and In no other way can he claim to be a taxpayer. When he has his clothes on his back and his caret-bag in his hand he can walk out of the county with all he has like any other hired man. I was a hired man myself once, so do not mean to cast a slur on them, as I always have had their respect, and they have mine in the fullest sense of the word, but to let the voters of Clackamas county see what interest Mr. U'Ren has in this count or its people. Yes, Mr. U'Ren spoke here last night and gave me a chance to put myself right before my neighbors, for which I thank him, but if he had done this before, be scat tered the lie broadcast all over the county I should have thought more of him. Respectfully, R. Scott. Mr. Mel drum Explains. To Tim Editor: Mr. W. S. U'Ren and Mr. Shade have in today's Herald, Courier and E.nteki'Kibk, a statement in regard to a certain so-called anti-A. P, A. ticket which was circulated in Ore gon City this week, in which these gen tlemen state that they believe this ticket originated and was caused to be printed" by Brownell, Maddock and Metdrum. In reply, I wish to say that all state ments in said article in regard to my self are untrue and without the least foundation, but I believe the ticket was originated and printed by Dr. Ferrin and Mr. U'ren. Hf.nrv Mkldkum. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank the many friends for their aid and kindness to us while mourning the loss of our dear son and brother, and wish especially to thank the members of the Parkplace band for the respect shown for their deceased member.
