Kd. GnnxT Co. Ni:ws: Dear Sir:
I wish to offer a fow facts in regard
tq tho Pendleton and Canyon City
road. Your item in tho Nnwsof
tho 3th inst in regard to tho matter
I did hot see until the present, for
the reason that you failed to send
my pnter for two weoks after it ap
peared. As yon are doubtless awaro I
went before tho court and endeav
ored tti induce them to approve the
report, I lndiovo then I was justified
in so doing nnd I believe yet 1 was,
as we were very caroful in locating
to avoid damages and made some
slight ehnnges in tho route we had
marked out for that purpose. In
one instance only wo could not
change so as to avoid it, but the
only damage he set up was for the
actual cost of the extra fencing it
incurred which I believe would not
exceed two hundred dollars and
which 1 thought we could nllbrd to
pay in view of the fact that we
were gelling so much greater
amount fioin tho stnto to bo used
in tho county. Ontsido of tho
above there was no claim for dama
ges, although I understand that
Mr. Denning was out on the
lino trying to induce settlors to put
in claims for damages. Hut ho
was not aa successful with them as
ho was with tho county court. Thoy
wanted the road and not damages.
