Can by, Jan. 22 (To the Editor) I have just, heard an account of the state ments made by Mr. Walgamot, of Canby, at the populist meeting in Oregon City, January 5, concerning my husband. I desire to say that each and every one of the stories is an absolute falaehood, with no foundation in fact. My husband bas not now, nor bas ever bad a family in the East or any other part of the world. I have neyer sent, nor has he ever taken or sent one cent of money back East or anywhere el Be to any woman or child. I have not worked Out to support him ; on the contrary he has worked what be could on the farm to pay taxes and in terest. As great privations as we ever suffered was when we were all sick with typhoid fever and Mr. U'Ken owed my boys $50 for work. We sent to him to pay os a portion, at least, and be sent as a check for $1.35 and that was all the money we rould get from him. The winter of 1895 and 1896 my children went nearly bare foot on account of my husband having to pay his own exoenses while on the campaign, urging the people to put in such men as U'Ken and others. The result of his labors were well shown in the June election of 1896 Mr. U'Ren tried repeatedly to induce my liuxband to run for office. He refused. He re peatedly tried to get him to accept a clerkship in Salem during the Iattt ses sionoftbe legislature. He relumed all offers, saying he was FatiHfied to work for the good of the people, without re ward. It was only when confronted with positive proof of Mr. U'Ren's treachery to the state, that he deter mined to show the people his unworth inesn as a representative. We have managed to get along these 20 years and as I have no fault to find with my family, I will thank Mr. Walga mot and neighborhood gossips to mind their own business, if they have any. If those people who are so anxious to find fault with my husband's private character will 'look at home they will find their time fully taken up. Maby E. Stkvf.ns. THE COURT SUSTAINED Sandy, Jan. 22. (To the Editor) As I notice a publication of an article of January 12th attaining the court in ignoring two numerously signed petitions of applicants for road supervisor in thin district and appointing J. II. Reyenue who was not an applicant for the posi tion, in reply I must say that the county court is sustained. Why? Because the law gives it the power to do so. Now Mr. Good Roads ptates in his article of January 12th that he was anked if some one was trying to get a political pull on him (J. II. Revenue.) He says, ''I answer no, because I do not believe any one bas got any strings on him, or will have." I say yes, because it is a known fact by all who know him here in this district that he worked to the bitter end in the defeat of the honorable county court who ignored the petition oi the friends that stayed by and worked for them iu election . Now Mr. Good Roads you seem to think that it was a common sense appointment. I will agree with you, that it is, and one of the very com monest; and he also says, "many here know this fact, that he bas ever been an advocate of good roads and volunteering work on them." Now Mr. Good Roads, if that is a fact tell, if you please, why he did not volunteer work two years ago when Mr. Meinig was supervisor. Tell me why he did not vulunteer work this summer w hen P. R. Meinig was super visor; and it yon remember before that last contract that the county court awarded to Mr. Bruns, that Mr. Meinig aid he would give (25 toward clearing out the right of way ; and one Mr. John son went to Mr. Revenue and he swore that he would not give one cent. How la that for volunteer work? We would like to know why the writer that signs his name "Good Roads," don't come out and let himsnlf be known ; as that is what we are interested in at the present time, and by so doing we might save considerable plunk, time and money. Now Mr. Good Roads, come again and we will try and do good. John Chiblb. Sandy, Jan. 24. (To the Editor) Noticing an article in the Enbr prise of January 12th headed "Court Sustained," to which the writer signs himself "Good Roads' myself, with many others who have requested me to write an answer to it, feel as if it should not go unanswered, we therefore beg for space in your columncs. As the writer ol said article states tlmt some comments are mails on the action of our county court appointing a roadmaxter of our district who did not hanker for it nor ever wanted it. This is very true. We therefore are puzaled to know the object of our court in ap pointing him when there were two peti tions circulated, one for P. R. Meinig, and one for A. Katier. Any one of the two would have filled the required posi tion to satisfaction. If the county court hopes to make a "political pull," the aj. pointment can safely be considered a very inueneiblo one. The writer further states that the new roadmoatcr is justly entitled to his new office for the simple reason that he always advocated good roads and gaye volunteer work to im prove our public highways. If that is true then every person in our district is entitled to it, for every one advocates it to their heart's content. We would like to know the reason the writer (Good Roads) did not sign his name. Probably he feared to personally hear from people around here in a way he wouldn't like. En F. Bbi ns. School Reports.
