Judge Howlby a t.ta rniuevt of the committee having in charge the tvaitter of ssvuring a ub rMy for the oa-'h ami Aw fJtastory, ad dressed a Mter tj Mr. A. B. Hanun -nd relalv the:o. Mr. Hammond aii awvred and Judge Bowlby delivered h letter o the corn mite.". Tr awer waa not designed f publication, but on the Krb liwt, the A.tonaa contaiiieU a article ;mrportJng to Ute tfw fa- relative to Cie suUridy situat.on and also assuming to (Kate the aubstancsf of ilr. HammooJ's letter. That por tlon of the arciole r.-ferr.og to Mr. Hammond was in a spirit to manifestly unfair and tha statements credits rw his. Mier were such a mixrur v.f half truth and untruth, tha; Mr. Himroond requested the committee to publish his letter in full. So to d the coram.ttee declined, and thereupon Mr. Ham mond forwarded to me a copy of the leCTvr and reu,ut-s:ed roe to deKver t to the Astorian for publication, and I therefore submit, the uiw herewith. In duing this I do n ft wish t te under stood as In anywise criticising; the cummlttt?. N.ir do I rise t d fni Mr. Hammond; he ts amply able to take care of himself. In the interest of trda community, howew. I do express my sincere regr.X rha; fbTe sjhou'.J exi.-t. aa it Seems to me there does, a deposi tion on the part of sume ctrJxen of As ton to systemicaUy and purposely mfe reprenent on who hM done so much and is s ill endeavoring to do a.) much fur this sectim, and to w.wn we must so largely laok for Jielp In the future. In view of thes attacks It is not sur prising that Mr. Hammond' 1-tter should indicate su-nethina; jf irr.tatl.in. I; Is constantly being in-dnna-el. if ut directly iharg-1.

Mr. Hamtni l and asHOdateo proposed t. invest not le.-a Uian six hundred thou-sand ddiurs and prjbably over om mlllC-jn dollars. He asked simply a uitg and st xk sub acpiption to rhe flouring m31 of JIO.KW. At the price demanded by owners of deir-d sites, to have rafcwd the subsidy Would have required uh to natse about 170,000, I brieve. The sash and door factory owns ma chinery. I understand, valued at about nine thousind (J9.000.00) dollars, and we are required to furnish a ulti and erect thereon a building oftlng J4000, and build a railroad, swttch thereto -the cost of wMi I do tft know, 'Now which proposition, com; ring the re quired subsidy with the guaranteed in- wwinu-nt. is th mvt Utvml to thia community?
