Explanation Demanded Dalles Men Disclaim Participation in Affaii To the business Men's Associ - ation. The Dalles. Oretron. ! Gentlemen: : The aim of vour association, as proclaimed to the. world upon your stationery, is "To develop the natural resources of The Dalles and Wasco countv Now in all seriousness, we tsk you is this statement of the ai.cn of The Dalles Business Men's Associa tion correct or should it read, "To develop the natural resourc- as nf The IhiilnannH S HERMAN? county'.'" An article entitled, 'Beneficial Effect," published in the Wasco News-Enterprise of (Wasco, Sherman county) Sept - ember 9th, 1915, together with the clandestine removal of the smn therein referred to. ead usjm to suspect that perhaps the aim of your organization is incorrect- Iv printed on your stationery and that in reality it is to aid Sher man countv rather than Wasco county, outside of The Dalles. Owing to the fact that for sev eral years past there has appear ed a sign along a street in The Dalles, nil vising travelers for in teritir points lo take the road leading to Miller's Bridge as be ing tile best, route and etc-, and also owiiii!' to the fact that nosi tieu inform:! ion h -.i . I iv.u,-.hn, iu that various interests in The Dalles were ad'. ising tourists to take that route rather than the one thro u;h o ir own' county, which is shorter, a number of the residents and taxpayers of r boutheni Wasco county decided , , . . . to ask permission to erect a sign, n Tlie i;.vi,-;. statinu- the truth 'and noliiinir else eoiKterninir t.h route to the interior of Oregon and to California noiri's: accord ingiy we had such a sign painted! and procured permission from oflicials of The Dalies for its crctwn ..in tl:e place, where it was suiiu'ing rhen torn down. This sign m ippod out the road via Dulur, Tygh Valley ami' Maupin to interior of Oregon, I and stated this is the shorter) route, which is absolutely true; and also that it is the route i whereby the circle trip from Portland around Mt Hood can be made, which is also true; and also slated there are 110 tolls up on tiii' p. ute, which i true. We did not include a single word of reference to, or el'ilicism of any other road or route to any point, and the assertion in the article in the Sherman county paper c aiming tli::t this sign is ''uniriitolnl, inisU auing and un fair'' is noi, supported by the facts i;i tin- case, aw can readily be ascei tained by any one of average inteligence. This Sherman county paper al so refers to this sign as "obnox' ious" and an "insult to a com munity;" this is the first time that this wonderful axiom lias been brought to our attention, i.e., that a mere statement of fact concerning a highway, with no reference to, or criiizism ot any other highway is "obnox ious" and is an "insult lo a com munity." This same newspaper article asserts that, "At a meeting of the city oflicials and business men of that city on hrida, night thai nii.lt.ir was discu.u.'d in de tail and die advisibiiily of our right to protest was unamiously admitted," Now this was the night 01' 1 he booster meeting for ; 1.. wi . ...1,.. y.wou io.: 01 01 fd-eo eouiiLV, vvuyif did van not invite us to both! if lueeHngr.'.'
