Dear Loder: Your postal Invitation to come down and bear Dun Shannon seems to me. after what ha by him been said of me, like Inviting me to attend my own execution. Really, John, it is ludi crous. Yet there Is a erlou side to this fatter and done which to me it seems thl community ought to take notice of, and especially ought those In authority in your church.

I have heard nothing vulgar or nasty from the lips of these or any of many others whom I have beard. I have purposely declined to go to the meetings held by Dan Shannon because my time Is more valuable than to be put In listening to his vul garisms and to see what use he makes of an edifice dedicated to the worship of an omniscient, omnipotent, omni present absolute, perfect God. Besides, John, you know me well enough to know that Dan Shannon and I might quarrel if I were present and he said such thing as I have heard he has said of the Saturday Club of the Congregational Church of thla city, which has among Ita mem ber aome of our county' most esti mable young women, the attack upon whom wa unjustifiable and to me it seem Ita utterance make the speak er worthy: of the end predicted for some of those that Dan Shannon criti cises most severely. And If Dan Shannon should say to me what I have heard he laid to one of our citizen who ha from my In fancy been an object of my admira tion, not only, or perhaps so much, because of hi profession of Chris tianity as because of hla approach as a man to my Ideal of man and Chris tian, Dan and I might quarrel. And positively I say to you, John, that if Dan Shannon should say while I was present what he has said of me in my absence. I would not be able so far to control myself by exercise of my will as to submit. In any audi ence, however friendly to Dan Shan non or Inimical to myself, to bis abuse especlally.lt belched forth in the parlance of the Bowery. No, John, Dan Shannon and I nave nothing in common except that which by the will of God Is forced upon me. such as being a man. Surely, John, I think you had bet ter withdraw your invitation.

The report of the grand Jury fol lows: As a result of our Investigation, we have presented 12 true bills and three not true bills. . At the request of the sheriff and County Court, we. have Investigated the county jail and courthouse, and would make the following recommen dations: . . We find that the sheriff's office needs enlarging and would recommend that, the stairway on the northwest corner of the building leading to the Circuit Court room be removed and the space be added to the sheriff's of fice. We find that the county jail needs repairs as follows: The ceiling needs to he celled with sheet steel; the sanitation is very bad, and the cells are filthy and the whole jail Is in an unhealthy condition. While the sheriff has done all he can to keep the jail in proper condition, it Is impossible in its present state; ' the gewage particularly needs to be made, more adequate; the jail also needs a padded cell for Insane pa tients, and this ought to be supplied at once, as it Is very necessary. We further recommend that Iron gates be placed on openings leading from the corridor to South room. We recommend that a toilet be placed in the trial Jury room. We investigated the city jail anu find it cleanly kept We investigated the Milwaukee Club as directed by the Circuit Judge, and find that it is unoccupied and that It has been so for more7than a year; a watchman is In charge, but there ia no bar running there and from the appearance of the place and the fur niture and from other evidence, we find that it Is certain that no gambling or other crime has been committed there for more than a year, and that the information which the Judge had received was erroneous. We further recommend a fire es cape on the west end of the courthouse. GEORGE E. MORSE, R. A. LOONEY, E. W. SCOTT, J. H. TRACY, T. L. TURNER, ELI FELLOWS, WILLIAM TODD. PEOPLE ARE COMING IN.

HUBBARD, Or., Nov. 18. (To the Editor.) Yes, we sold lumber during the panic of 1907. It would take too long to go over our books. and give the exact figures, but we well remem ber that we sold all we cut and could have sold more and we didn't cut on our prices either. And that was a Republican panic. We were under the Impression that the panic was brought about by reckless bankers In New York and other large cities of the East with the expectation of discred iting the administration and to work up a sentiment among the people at large against President Roosevelt. And as to the writer of those Items not being able to buy a gang plank with his bank account, will he please tell us just how many dollars he is out by having had money in the bank at that time? The writer is of tho opinion that he has lived through more panics and seen more banks wrecked than the Courier's corres pondent has, but never before have I Been wrecked or broken banks pay ing dollar for dollar like the suspend ed banks of our Metropolis are now doing.
