IVar Sir: Since writing you in reoly to your phone in regard to some rumors that are being circulated in Hillsboro, connecting the Washington-Oregon Corporation and yourself with the p ssing i f a certain franchise to us by the City of Hillsboro recently. I will sav further that I am now convinced that there was a plan to trap you. and Mavor Bagley. 1 was led to believe that you were in a position to get about what you should ak for from the (. ity Council of Hillsboro, and I was also informed that you and H. V. I'.'il.u uoim nhnninir t.t nrvTni7H fYimnSMV and bllild a graVltV water svstem to the Citv of Hillsboro in opposition to our plant 1 had indirect information that vou would handle the business for us fur a retainer fee and exoenses. At that time 1 believed that mv information was well founded and at a met-tirnr of eentlemen of vour Citv some time ago, I said to them that there was a move on foot to hold us up and named vou as the head of such move. On further careful investigation 1 found my information was not correct A. Welch. (Paid Advertisement) Kaln4 M tha roa at Mllbtaf Omrm, MMtnJ-Uaa atatl U A. tAlKU.
