Portland, Or., May 2, 1911.
Hon. Chas. H. GardnerToledo, Or.
Dear Sir: When the committee
was in from Siletz and were going
to buy some machinery we had some
figures made up for them, but it
seems they bought the machinery
without giving us an opportunity
of submitting prices on their re
quirements. In the first place we showed the
traction engines and told them about
the cost f.o.b Toledo, then after
wards we took them out to see the
Hammond Drag working and they
found the traction engine would
not be suitable for working this
drag so we advised them that we
would get figures on donkey en
gines and other machinery and be
prepared to quote them the next
day, but as they failed to call on
us -we naturally did not have a look
in and was never able to quote
them prices.
Here are the figures we would
have made them on certain machin
ery as wanted by them.
50 to 60 h. p. Donkey in good
condition, now working and doing
first class work, with over 1200 feet
pulling cable and 300 feet of rehaul
cable with the latest Hammond Drag.
One 16 h. p. Compound Russsell
traction engine. The engine guar
anteed just the same as new. In
fact, the engine has not been run
100 days, together with one No. 1
latest improved steel frame Angora
Rock Crusher with 12 ft. 30 in.
screen with dust jacket and with
24 foot elevator. Delivered f.o.b.
Toledo., Oregon. $4250. for the
entire outfit.
This you understand is figured on
a 16 h. p. engine virtually new.
Now we could furnish them the
same outfit only with second hand
16 h. p. Pitts engine at $3750 f.o.b.
Toledo. Then if the cheaper crush
er is wanted, with toggles, we could
reduce the price to $3350 for the
goods f.o.b. Toledo, and it seems to !
us, if we have been correctly in
formed, that the outfit they are buy
ing will cost them $5000 deilvered I
at Toledo, and we doubt whether
the second hand Pitts traction en
gine they bought is as good as we
would have been able to offer them,
and we are positive that the sceond
hand engine is not to be compared
with the slightly used Russell en
gine that we are able to offer them
so that taking the outfit we would
have offered them, or tried to sell
them, would have cost $4250 for
the goods delivered at Toledo. This
price included the 16 h. p. slightlly
used Russell engine. Then on the
other band if they would accept a
toggle machine and the secondhand
Pitts engine we could have made
the price $3350. We cannot under
stand why these gentlemen did not
give us an opportunity to at least
quote them prices on their require
ments. The writer will probably make a
trip to Toledo before very long and
we are certainly going to try and
find out why this stuff was bought
without giving us an opportunity
of quoting.
You understand when these gen
tlemen first called on us we were
uncertain as to what was the best
power to drive this drag and for
that reason we took them out into
the country to see the drag in oper
ation for the sole purpose of finding
out what was the best equipment
for them to figure on and then after
we returned to the city we advised
them them that we would look up
the necessary equipment for them
and be able to quote them prices
the next day, but we waited several
days and not a one of them showed
up, except that we understood from
the Hammond Mfg. Co. that they
were not going to buy the crusher
of Beall & Company because we
were asking too much money for our
crusher, and naturally could not say
truthfully that we were asking too
much money for them. The only
prices that we had mentioned was
at the time we were at Siletz and
the writer estimated the cost of the
equipment, which was in the neigh
borhood of $5000. We were figur
ing on a good, heavy traction engine
and on a crusher with at least a 30
foot elevator and with the Ham
mond Drag, but after finding that
the drag could not be handled suc
cessfully with the heavy traction en
gine, but would have to to be hand
led with a donkey, we then figured
out the different price putting the
goods in at the very lowest possible
prices in order to get the business.
However, as we never had an oppor
tunity of submitting our figures, of
course we could not expect to get
the business.
Trusting you will find this ex
planation satisfactory, we beg to re
main, Very truly yours,
BEALL & COMPANY,
By Geo. Royer.

ELK CITY 7; TOLEDO 10.
Elk City came down last Sunday
to give the Toledo bunch another
skinning, but in this they were badly
fooled, for the home team put one
over them to the tune of 10 to 7.
Things were running along smoothly
with Toledo one a head until the
first of the fifth when Charley Van
Ordcn came to bat, he got a ball
just right and landed on it with a
full head of steam, the ball went
out of sight, and before the fielder
could locate it Charley was standing
on the home plate. Billy Simpsf n
came next to bat and it seems he
had caught the spirit, so he landed
on the first ball and sent it out of
sight in the other direction. He
also loped home before the ball
could be reached. These two v ero
the biggest hits ever made on the
Toledo diamond. These two home
runs in auccession seemed to ma!rc
the Toledo boys mad for in the next
inning they made four runs and in
the next one. The boys on both
sides made some errors but taken
as a whole they played a rattling
good game. The lineup and score
by innings follows,

WALDPORT 5; TOLEDO 7.
In the ball game at Waldport the
Fourth between Toleao and Wald
port teams Toledo came out victor
ious by a score of 7 to 5. The To
ledo boys arrived home safely and
are all united in the praise of the
Waldport citizens and especially the
ball team for the royal, good time
shown them. The boys say they
had a hard team to buck up against
and had no cinch in winning. Wald
port has a fast battery in Nertcn
and Chapin, and their support was
there with the real goods at all
times. The game was clean and
our boys have hopes that they may
have another game with them in the
near future. They are trying to
arrange one or more games during
the fair. Sheriff Geer and Post
master Keady acted as umpires.
