MWLET REPLIES '
TO Hill,
Washington, I, a, Sept
1914.
My denr Sir:
In the Ibsiio of tho Portland Jour
nal for August 19th is printed n
letter from one Hugh MeLnln, of
Mnrahtlold, in which ho attempts to
explain tho orrorn ho mndo lu his In
torvlow. Ho fnljH Into further on oh
nml makes glaring mlSMtatomunts. I
request again n little' of your vnlua
blo apace to stato wlint tho records
show and what tho facts nre.
Appropriation Tor Cons Hay.
Mr. .Mcl.nln atntes that his Inter
view contained n "misprint" when ho
Hald that tho present rivers and har
bors hill carried only $40,000 'for
Coos Hay when It passed Iho Ilouso
nnd that tho amount was Increased
to fiiO.OOO whon tho bill reached (ho
Senate. I have boforo mo tho Rivers
and Harbors Hill, 1.1. It. 13811, as It
was reported to uio Senato on Juno
18, by Senator Simmons from tho
committee on Commorco of tho Son
nto, and tho Horn for Coos Hay reads
as follows:
"Improving harbor at Coos
Hay, Oregon: For mnluteiiaiico
of completed chnnnols lu Cooa
Hay and operating bar drodgo,
r0,000."
Mr. McLaln soys: "nnd It was In
creased lu tho Seiinto to $00,000."
Ho says nu ncndment was offered to
Incrcaso tho amount to $00,000 In
tho Senate on Aptll I, 1014 and that
tho propdsed amondniont wns referr
ed to its Committee on Commerce.
If that Is so thon tho Commltteo on
Commorco rejected tho proposed am
endment and did not Include It in tho
bill whon it toported It to tho Sonato
on .Juno 18. I havo quoted tho lan
guage of tho Item na contained in tho
bill reported to tho Senato. Sco
page (!C, lines JO, 11 and 12, of tho
bill. Tho Item la therefore now $r0,
000, which was tho nmoiiut 1 had In
cluded In tho Ilouso Hill, nnd It wns
not, na ho says, Increased lu tho Son
ato to $110,000." Will ho now find
tonother "misprint" in Ills cotnmuul
cntlonx? I would ho very glad If tho
Item could bo Incrorsod by Mo Sen
ate, I bollavo lu tho Coos Hay water
way. I have had appropriated for its
Improvement evory dollar tho ougl
ncora havo recommended, Including
'o pnurnnrlntlon of $350,000 for tho
bar drodgo Mlchlo. I strongly favor
tho reconstruction nnd extension of
tho Jetty system nt Coos Hay.
And I might any lu passing that
whon tho Illvora nnd Harbors Com
mltteo of tho IIoiiho mndo up tho
ponding bill, which passed tho Ilouso
In March, I had Included In It every
project In tho First Congressional
District recommended by tho engi
neers, with tho amounts recommend
ed by thoiu. Tho Ilouso Commltteo
follows tho rulo of requiring their
approval. This practlco la to relievo
tho bill of "pork barrel" features,
since tho projects Included hnvo boon
passed upon by tho locnl engineers,
tho Hoard of Engineers for Itlvora
nnd Harbors, tho Chief or Engineers
and tho Secretary of War man who
hnvo no personal Interests tn Uio, pro
jects, but hnvo In vlow tho JhiTiIIo
service only. I wish to commend tho
Journal for Its cnpnblo support of
tho pending bill. 1 hopo tho Senate
will not allow tho bill to fall.
I havo gono Into-tho dotalls above
that tho matter may bo cloar to ov
oryono nnd to Mr. McLaln. I can go
yet further Into tho mattor If ho la
not convinced of his error.
Tho Mill Slough Mill.
In nddltton to tho records I rjuolod
In my former lotter, It la necessary
to refer to thorn further to correct
further misstatements by McLaln. Ho
makes n number. Ho says In his lot
tor: "In regard to tho passago of
Sonato Hill 7G7 for closing Mill
Slough. Whon tho bill was passed In
tho Sonato tluough Senator Chnni
borlnln'a efforts and It was necessary
to Introduco It In tho House, Con
gressman Hawloy was not in Wash
ington, nor was ho represented by hla
secretary at that tlmo, and because
of his absenco Congressman Lnffor
ty's aid was secured and ho introduc
ed tho bill In tho Ilouso and It was re
ferred to tho Commltteo on Interstate
and Foreign Commorco, of which ho
had tho honor of being a member,
nnd a favorable report waB obtained
from all tho members present.
vnw tho facts aro theso: Sonntor
Chamberlain Introduced flio bill In
tho Senate, S. 7C7, on April 12. 1013.
I Introduced tho bill In tho House,
II. It. 2483, on April 14, 1913. Hep
rosentatlvo Lafforty Introduced no
bill on tho sublet at all, according
to tho Index n tho Congressional
Record for tho irst Session of tho
Slxty-tblrd Con 'bb. Nor was there
any reason wlr should. Tho Sen
ate bill when It had passed the Sen
ate would naturally bo taken up.
Neither was a favorable report made
by tho Committee of Intorstato and
Forolgn Commerce on any Mill
Slough bill; but as I provod by quo
tatlons from the Congressional Itec
ord, In my former letter, tho Senate
mil was passed by tho House, on Oc
tober 17 on my motion to discharge
to Commltteo on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce from any '""J18''

If the Committee nau repu-mn wv
bill to the House.
Prior to Its passage by the House,
I hid conferences with the Speaker,
tho Majority Leader, the Minority
Leader and several with Chairman
Adamson urging fayorablo action on
the bill and preparing tho way for
its passage under the motion I made.
Now It may bo that Mr. McLaln does
LettefS From- Times Readers That
Are of General Public Interest
not understand parllametnnry pro
cedure or tho work necessary nt
times to ho done. Dut lu hla intor
Vlow and lotter ho nssuniod to know
nil about tho wholo matter. In tho
parngraph quoted hq makes two ml.
Htutoments nt least. It was necessary
for nlo to securo considatablo data,
which I did, and by, means of which
I was ablo to securo tlio passago of
tho bill. My file On tho subject Is
voluminous. Such nro tho facts as
contained in tho records nnd as
known to thoso horo who nro Inter
ested In tho matter. The work on
tho Mill Slough bill Is only ouo item
out of hundreds of acts of service I
havo been nblo to render to tho pcoplo
I hnvo tho honor to represent. I hnvo
been commended by lending citizens
of CoOs Hay In this mattor men w.j
usslsted in collecting and compiling
tuo necessary ('.atn. Few mombeib
hnvo as good u record for diligence
in nttenuanco on tho work of the
Ilouso and Its tomiultteo assignments
as I hnvo. Thin will bo assented to
b) tho Spcnkoi, tho Minority Londoi
ami tno chairmen of tho Ilouso com
mittees on Agrlculturo nnd Labor.
When they nro no facts to sustain
M chain's untenable position, ho In
vents Bonio "incts." in hla futllo at
tempt to austaln his position, ho adds
to lila former errors additional mis
statements. Ho has no right to In
vent "facts," or what ho calls "facts.'
Ho attempts to ovrulo tho Issues ho
has lalscd as to liln accuracy nun
trustworthlucsK, by endeavoring to
ihirt to other manors. Hut lot these
mntters now ho settled first. All
things lu duo ordor.
It Is no pleasant duty for mo to
bo compelled again to arraign Mc
Lain before tho bar of public opin
ion for further misstatements nnn
misrepresentations. I can do so
again If ho Insists, but I will tnko no
plcaauio In It. Tho records nnd facte
provo that ho Is neither nccurnto not
trustworthy in theso mnttora.
With tunny thanks, for tho courtesj
of this space, I am,

THE CONSUMERS' VIEW
OF GOOD ROADS
Editor Coos Ihiy Times: lu Au
gust 21 Issue of The Times n busi
ness man atntes that lu dairying
nnd vegotnblo growing tho const
district Ib of tho utmost Impor
tance. Ho nlso speaks of tho Im
ports of general niorchaudlso uf
tho valuo of hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Pleaso permit a fuw words on
tho Imports of general merchandise
lu Its economic relation to tho de
velopment of tho coast country.
A short tlmo uko tho wrltor count
ed soma two hundred and fifty
sacks of potatoes bosldcs a largo
number of boxes and crates of ve
getables and fruit unloaded from
ouo boat. This bonj mnkos fifty-two
trips a year. Not always bringing
such Inrgo qunntltlos, but each trip
bringing In fruit and vegetables
from uuothor stato that wo can
bettor nnd cheapor rnlso hero on
tho Hay.
Apd thoro nro fqur bouts. A llt
tlo computation wljl show that tho
farm produco annually shipped Into
Coos Day must bo ouormoua, tak
ing Into consideration tho fact that
Coos County Is supposed to bo u
farming country.
At a consorvntlvo ostlmnto the
monoy soul away to pay for this
produco will equal tho annual wagca
of ono hundred nnd. fifty moil.
Such n atato or affairs Is Indeed
an economic crime.
Supposing n business carrying ouo
hundred nnd fifty nnmes on Its puv
roll should booIc n location on tho
Hay. What prompt consideration
would It recolvo from tho Chnnibor
-of Commorco? What Inducomonta
would bo offoiod In tho wny of low
rout, Iqw taxes ami cheap locution?
Yet by making It possible for tho
ranchers to raise and market the
produco that wo nro now shipping
In, wo would accomplish the sumo
object in u throe-fold measure. First
Incrense In population Incident to
tho development of tho rural com
munltles. Second, largo tiucts of
land now being hljo nml worthless
will bo brought under cultivation
nnd bear n portion of the tax bur
den which la surely gottlng near tho
limit. Lust and by no means least,
It will cheapen tho coit of living to
tho consumer.
And this cun bo brought about
as has boon aptly stated by build
ing a road systom thut will pay
Its own cost of construction and
not bo a burden to thq tux payors.
Though lu favor of good roada the
wrltor voted ugalnqt tho bond issue
becnuso of tho provision limiting
Its scope, which ho believed would
defeat Its own object.
Tho good roada moioment Is of
vital Importance tq tho lutoiost of
tho people lu Us relation to tho
cost of living and development of tho
Iho country to bo long retarded be
cnuso of dffforonco of opinion in re
gard to location and methods of con
struction. Tho people pay tio bills and thoy
have the right to any what roads
shall bo built and that they Bhall bo
built under a nystejn that will glvo
tho full value for ovory dollar.
Hottor roads, roads that will glvo
tho farming districts access to tho
consumer that will permit tho con
sumer to buy farm produco minus
profits wo must and will huvo.
It is unthlnknbla that an Intelli
gent, progressive people will suffer
themselves to be mulcted through
... , ,,., w
such Intolerable conditions,
To this end wo should get togother
nnd talk It over.
Wo should hnvo a representative

SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Editor Times: In your Ibsiio of
Soptombor 11, 1914, t noto that
you stato that "Mr. Llljoqvlst was
Indlgnnnt becnuso Sheriff Gago al
lowecl Coy Elllston, Trottor nnd
tho Jennings Hoys, who wero In
tho hinplro snloon robbery, to got
out of tho country."
Thoro Is nothing for Mr. LIIJo
vlst to bo Indignant ovor In this
caso nnd why ho should mnko tho
statement Is bovoml mv iiminrarnmi.
Ing, flnloss ho wanted to dollboratoly
mlBtnto tho facts. Horo Is tho
truth lu tho matter: On last
Wednesdny I rolurliud from Empire,
whuro 1 had luvdstlgntcd tho saloon
hold up nnd mot Mr. Llljeqvlst In
tho Shorlff's offlco nnd told him
thoro was no ovldcnco on which to
mako an arrest, but that u good
ninny parsons ausplcloned that It
was a frame-up bctweon Elllaton,
Trotter nml tho Jonnlngs boys nnd
two others nnd thnt It wns only
opinion nnd suspicions nnd no ovl
dcnco. At Hint ho suggested issuing
grand Jury stibpoenns to hold them
on, nnd ono of my doputlcs suggest
ed to blip that if thoy woro mlxod
In tho hold-up thoy would boat it,
rogurdloss of u subpoena ana It
would bo hotter for him to fllo
complaints In tho Justlco's court
nml hnvo warrants Issued for tho
whole hunch for gambling, ns bo
had said that ho hud tho ovldonce
to convict thorn of that offense
If ho wanted to hold them, why
didn't ho hnvo tho warrants Issued.
This nil hupponcd Wednesday morn
ing, thus giving plonty of tlmo to
mnko arrests, had tho warrants been
been Issued.
Mr. Llljoqvlst could hnvo Just
is wull Informed you thnt ho lind
no ovldonco to hold thorn on, which
would hnvo been tho whole truth
and no ouo lujurod n ' i..
hold-up was concerned. This is not
intended to do Mr. Llljoqvlst an In
