He reminds Wpst ' that as a result of the latter'a objection to the appraisal of the f district made by C. H. Marsh' of Pendleton "a" board" of ' three ap- f pj-aiser was named, at a recent meetings one of whom was select td by Westand that the board Us not yet reported." Clipper says Ike work of the appraisers should be stopped, if West's proposal is definitely withdrawn, for the reas on that the district should not be called upon to expend, money for the appraisal unless it is to be of Talne to the district,' ..
