Some anonymous scribbier from
Wasco, writes to The Dalles T.-M. that
Hon. W. H. Moore "opposed the Rattle
snake road " We can brand this as a.
falsehood for the reason that Mr. Moore
was in favor of the scheme, and stated
to us that he believed it would be a good
thing for Sherman county. His couvic
tions more than all else, caused us to
stop an argument with certain parties
who brought and aggravated the dis
cussion, and now realizing their animus
we are free to make th'o statement, be
lieving that the scribbler who penned
the screed against Mr. Moore is the
same scandal monger who "entertained"
us for a purpose. The Dalles Chronicle,
knowing full well that Mr. Moore in in
terested in every project for the material
advancement of Sherman county, treats,
the matter as a vile slander, which it is,'
one of those risinit like miasmas when
the victim is placed in a position such ae
Mr. Moore is today. Observer.
Rufcs, May 12, 1896.
Editor Chronicle :
In last Saturday's issue of the Times
Mountaineer I read a letter purporting
to have been written by a "Farmer" and
evidently intended to prfjudic thf
minds of the people against W. H.
Moore, the Republican candidate for
joint senator of Sherman. Wasco and
Gilliam counties. "Farmer" claims that
nothing can be expected from Moore in
the way of legislation tending to give the
people a portage road or any kind of a
road that would give them an outlet to
market. Now, such a statement is as
unjust as it is false, and it is quite ap
parent that the object "Farmer" had in
view was to willfully misr. present Mr.
Moore's position on the transportation
question, for campaign purposes and no
other. I live at Rufus, one of the chief
shipping points in Sherman county, and
Mr. Moore, as president of the Columbia
Commercial Co., transacted a good deal
of the company's business there last fall,
in fact be was there most of the wheat
hauling season, and I know that he was
deeply interested in the question of get-
ing cheaper freight rates, and even
made several trips to Portland for that
purpose. ' Furthermore, I know that he
used the Rattlesnake road as a leverage
with "the powers that be" in Portland
to compel them to grant us cheaper
transportation rates, and actually suc
ceeded in securing a reduction that has
saved thonsands of dollars to the people
of this county. It is untrue to say that
Mr. Moore ever opposed the Rattlesnake
road. He was never aeked to support it.
No doubt the writer of the letter in
question, and a few others of his ilk,
were so prejudiced against Mr. Moore
that they did not approach him at all on
the subject of the proposed road.
Daring all the time of the agitation of
the question of building the Rattlesnake
road, I never heard Moore utter one
word against it, and I was in a position
to hear it if he ever did so. It is silly
lor "Farmer" to say that Moore was
afraid of the Rattlesnake road diverting
trade to The Dalles. Moore Bros, had
all the trade they wanted, and a great
deal (no doubt such trade as the man
who wrote the letter above mentioned) I
that they did not want. Moore has
been in the mercantile business in Sher
man conntv for ten years, and during all
that time he baa been upright, honorable
and just in all his dealings with the
people. He has given them accommo
dations when they could not get them
elsewhere, and there is many a farmer
in Sherman county today who has
Walter Moore to thank for being able to
battle successfully with the hard times
which have sorely taxed the people of
this country during the past three years.
Mr. Moore is a man who can and will do
tne people good service if be should be
chosen to represent them in the state
legislature (which I believe be will be).
The nomination came to him unsought;
was forced upon him, and he accepted it
from a sense of duty, not from any other
motive. He has sacrificed his own in
terests by making the run this year,
just when his time is badly needed in
his priyate business, and if the voters
should act upon the suggestions of
Farmer," it seems to me tbey would be
showing rank ingratitude to a man who
deserves better treatment at their hands.

THEIR CLUB HOUSE BURNED.

ESTangeliat Wonders at the Hardness
Pendletun Sinners.
The Crittenton meetings continue to
attract attention among church people
and many outsiders in Pendleton. They
are well attended. Perhaps the public
discussion aroused on account oi the
visit of Mr. Crittenton and his helpers
has given them the needed advertising
and brought out the crowds. Friday
evening's audience was sufficient to fill
the circuit court room. Evangelist Car
penter, assistant to Evangelist Critten
ton, made an appeal to the people pres
ent to make punlio profession of their
sins and accept the Christian life. . Sott
and low a hymn was -sung while the
preacher held his arms forward and
asked the people to rise in their places
and thus indicate a desire to become
Christians. No one arose and the evan
gelist looked about in despair and then
uttered these words, in a tone which
showed that he meant them and consid
ered that he was talking to a hardened
community : . "A man told me upon the
streets of your city today that years ago
Pendleton was dedicated to the devil ;
that wine was broken in the customary
way and Pendleton formally dedicated to
the devil. And I am sorry to confess
that in all my jurneys through the
country" between New York and the Pa
cine coast, I have never met with people
who under such influence as this dared
to reject Christ." -
The evangelist, Mr. Crittenton, said to
the East Oregonian that he had been in
formed, prior to coming here, that be
was going to a place given over to the
devil and so engrossed in worldliness
that the gospel wonld not be received by
them. Pendleton's La Grande friends
gav6 Mr. Crittenton this information.

Hut tbe
Dirty Doeud" are Resourceful
and May Win Yet.
The "Dirty Dozen" club has received
a blow. Not a complete knockout. Oh,
no. Thev are not wrecked by any means.
Their club house was burned to the
ground last night, and this morning the
only visible remnants are a burned cook
stove, previously damaged, some coal
oil cans which served as lockers, while
on tbe placid bosom of the elough di
rectly in front of their erstwhile castle,
floats a stove pipe, rising and falling
with the wavelets. Desolation reigns.
Bat this visible demoralization is mis
leading, if one imagines it is complete.
The boys have not been reduced to the
final extremity, and there yet remains
to them a house luxurious in comparison
to the one burned last night. This
morning the boys manned a flatboatand
proceeded to it. They pushed quietly
down the slough into the waste of waters
of the broad Columbia, when they set
sail, and fearing neither wind nor wave,
navigated down the river, past Mill creek
harbor, beyond the O. R. & N. incline,
past the promontory, and then standing
n close to shore, after reefing the top
gallant and stowing the main maBt into
the hold, they directed their gallant
craft into a laud-locked basin secure from
pirates under the titles of sheriffs, po
licemen, etc. ; During the flood of 1894 a
house from above floated in here, and this
the boys have fitted up in style, and
here transact their most urgent business.
In the event the common enemy of
boys, their parents, and more especially
the city and county officers, attack and
raze to the ground this other stronghold,
then they have a final recourse, which is
sure of success, though possessing its dis
advantages. They have two fiatboats on
tbe slough, and by lashing them together
and building a house thereon, tbey can
rest secure from attack because they are
not on land. "If we build a house on
the water, they dassen't touch us," said
one of them confidently this morning.
So the youngsters are well versed In law,
as well as skilled in resource, and they
may win the day yet.
