A FALSEHOOD.
The Dalles, Ogn.Sept. 22d, 1S80.
Editor News: I would like to call
the attention of your readers to the
fact that certain citizens of your
county have been doing all in their
power to prevent the passing pf stock
through the county, in transit east
and west. The benefit of being on
the highway of travel and the advan
tages derived to the county from the
presence of large quantities of valu
able property for a more or less
lengthened period are obvious to any
intelligent person. As my profes
sion is the moving, handling and
manipulating live stock I would like
to know if it is true as I have been
told that one of your Justice's grant
ed a warrant and your sheriff or dep
uty arrested the owner of 7000 sheep
for passing an invissable fence, and
forced the strange gentleman to pay
five hundred dollars for alleged tres
pass or go to jail and loose more by
abandoning his property altogether,
and that another drover only sue
ceeded in staving off similar -blackmail
by the use of shot-gun persua
sion. If such rumors are false I wish
you would publicly contradict them ,
or if such practices are your social
law the public might as well know
it. Next spring large quantities of
stock will be moved through your
countv, and as some of those inter
ested are seriously thinking of in
vesting in , I would like to know
if such preparation is necessary.
The place where these alleged out
rages have taken place is Cranes
Prairie" or Flat. I am yours,
DROYER.
Could a more absurd story
have been told our unsuspect
ing stock drover ? Because the
jury received the instructions
'it did from Judge Deady in re
gard to our stock men you are
not going to believe wg are a
set or outlaws surely. We are
happy to inform Mr. Drover
that no such a case as lie men
tions ever occuned in Grant
County. The authorities have
informed us that no drover has
ever been molested for passing
through this count-. It is a
story or plainly speaking an
other falsehood.
FROM PRIXESYILLE.
Pbinesville, Ogn. Sept. 28, 1SS0.
Editor News: I have received the
first copy of the new edition of the
News and must say that I am more
than pleased with it, in its new dress.
The citizens of Grant Countv should
feel proud to have such a paper in
their midst and accord to it a most
liberal support. The energy and
perseverence exhibited in its general
make up is commendable and shows
that there is a live man at the head
this time. Of the half dozen papers
that I take none come more regular
ly than the News. Have received
every copy for fifteen months, and
always on time. Having been a res
ident of Canyon City for fifteen
years I still feel a deep interest in
its wellfare.
Thera are several of the pioners of
Grant County here. A. Breyman,
"of the firm of Breyman and Somer
ville, once owned the Gundlach corner-
is still in the general merchan
dise line, and has, I think, one of
the most complete stock of goods in
Ea'stern Oregpn. A. Lytle, who own
ed the first blacksmith shop in the
place, and was one of the first men
to make the trip from Canyon to the
Palles after gold was found cm the
creek, has a ranch and is in the
stock business, runs horses, cattle'
and sheep. E. G. Conant, of Prai
rie Diggings is here in the horse
business and has as fine a band a
can be found in the county. There
are others of the old timers here and
all doing well.
And now, for fear of tireing your
patience, I will close wishing you all
success. Mc.
By a local in another column it
will be seen the John Day is to have
another store. Wm. H. Clark has
on the road from The Dalles a fine
stock of goods, which he will place
in the New Stone Building.
