taken a large outllt and engaged the services
of the other members of the party from
Dyea to Pawson City.
The writer is glad to state that the parties
mentioned In the last issue of the Enter
prise, by another correspondent from Carus,
as being under suspicion ol taking fruit and
goods from the cellarof Lorenio Horushuh,
have been made entirely free from the
charge. Mr. Hornshnh expresses himself
as satisfied that they were in no wise con
remed. The mortification ol bavin a
scarf h warrant executed on' their premises
has been a bitter trial, aa hitherto their
conduct has been straightforward and up
right. It would be a great benefit to the
community if the thieves could be found
and punished. Many of our citisena are
satisfied that had the search been made
in the right direction, and persistently, it
would have been successful.

LETTER FKOX MRS J. D. STEVEN?.
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.

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.
