PACIFIC NORTHWEST NEWS
Men Are On the Watch for Any Vio
lation of the Game Law.
It has been reported several times
recently that the Japs employed by
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company, doing work on the roadbed
and straightening the track, between
here and Umatilla, had been killing
Bob White quail, but if they have
they are doing it very slyly. Deputy
Game Warden T. B. Wfells has had
several men along the river watching
them and trying to get a clew for
more than a month, but all efforts to
catch them in the act or to get any
proof that they have been killing
these game birds, has proven futile
and it is thought now that the report
had little foundation.
Along the Umatilla and on the
streams tributary, the Bob Whites are
getting quite plentiful and if they are
let alone for a few years more they
will afford some amusement for
sportsmen. The first one of these-
birds were brought to this country
and let loose on McKay creek almost
six years ago. They were brought
from the east by a few local sports
men and a law passed by the Oregon
legislature prohibiting the killing of
them until 1905, under penalty of a
heavy fine and imprisonment. Later,
when the Pendleton Gun and Rad
Rod Club was organized they pledged
themselves to see that this law was
enforced and they are doing all in
their power to see that this is done,
so that no effort is spared to locate
and punish anyone wbo breaks it.

THE ATHENA MILL FAILURE.
W. E. Bond, the Manager of the Mill,
Explains His Connection With It;
Pendleton, Or., March G. To the
Editor. My ntteutlon has beon call
ed to an editorial In your last even
ing's Issue, in which you state that
the Athena Flouring Mill's failure
"smells of a job and a filg profit for
those concerned for less than a year's
work, fully $20,000 is unaccounted
for."
I do not know from what source
you derive this information, but, ns It
is utterly without foundation, and as
nearly every item you have published
iu tills case has gone beyond the facts
to reflect upon me personally, it may
not be unreasonable to suppose you
have some object in view other than
the mere publication of news. I may
be mistaken In this, and I hope I am,
but being n stranger to you, .and my
enemies your friends, it Is perhaps
not an unnatural conclusion. I had
thought the loss of all I put into the
Athena mill was sufllciont, without
being made the subject of vicious at
tacks in a paper which has no reason
to be other than impartial.
Your statement that $20,000 cannot
be accounted for is ridiculous to any
one at all acquainted with the affairs
of that concern.
I do not know that it will make any
difference in your articles, but I feel
called upon to inform you what the
facts are, as I believe I am qualified
to do.
Most of tho grain storages existed
before I went there. And there was
also at that time several thousand
dollars that could not be accounted
for ,and which I have never been
able to trace. This condition was not
known to me until after my invest
ment had been made. I then found
that there were no fundj in the treas
ury to meet the debts of tho concern,
nor to carry on operations, nor was
there any stock of any kind on hand.
There was no assistance from stock
holders at any time during the past
year, and in addition to this, the mill
had to be practically rebuilt, now
warehouses built. To pay all debts,
keep the mill in operation, and to re
build it, without any money in the
treasury, is not an easy matter, and
If there is any one who has been
"jobbed" in this matter, with all due
deference to your friends, I consider
that I am the one. W. E. BOND.

(The above letter is printed to give
Mr. Bond the benefit of every doubt.
Mr. Bond says that most of the grain
was gone before he was made mana
ger of the mill. In other words, he
bought a controlling interest in the
mill without looking into its nffairs
or taking an inventory. Mr. Bond,
apparently, was "taken in" complete
ly and has on his shoulders the blame
that belongs to others. Surely, some
one Is to blame for squandering a
lot of property belonging to people
who left It in trust with the mill.' The
East Oregonian does not wish to cen
sure an innocent man, hence Its col
umns are always open to those with
out price who are involved. There is
one thing sure, about $20,000 of other
people's property has been wrongfully
converted, and who got the benefit
is a question worth answering. The
East Oregonian would like to hear
from others than Mr. Bond. Tho blame
should be rightfully located, as a
great wrong has been perpetrated.
The East Oregonian has no desire to
shield the guilty, no matter whom
they may be. It has no enemies to
punish, nor friends to reward. It is
not built on that principle. If Mr.
Bonk knew the paper better he would
not intimate it.)
