"""""''Jt"ml"w- The Oregonlan and Indsv pendent, one year, 82- From the Tillamook lleral l. Wilson, Ore., March 25. 1907. Editor Herald: Your paper con taining the article by the notorious Sam Smith has just leen received, and with your permission, I will correct a few of the misstatements it contains about the Wilson River road. It hardly seems lair that you should allow a creatuie so unreli able in every respect to slander such well known men as Mr. Ryan, Mr. Stanley and Mr. Reehr, unless a re- joiner is printed. The settlers took the only way possible to get the matter into the courts, by destroying the toll gates. Of course, those whose graft has been cut off will complain, but we think the settlers should be praised for their courage in makine the fight, and as events have proved, they were entirely in the right. First as to Mr. Runyon we. who lived here, know that the lab onng men who did the work, the poor settlers who furnished kegs of butter to the road camp, the gro eery men who lurnished supplies, none of whom have ever been paid, were the ones who lost the money when this road was built. Runyon used up the money furnished by the state and county and when that was gone he may have used some of his own, but few bills were paid. He is dead; let his faults die with him, but the world does not usually honor greatly those who do not pay their honest debts, who let poor men work lor them for months without pay. We have lived on this river for eighteen years, and know the his tory of this road since it was built. When Runyou's lease run out the road lelonged to the county. Dur ing the interim before Mr. Danaher took the road in charge, Mr. Reehr kept it open one whole year from here to Gales Creek with 110 help Irom any one. The bridges natur ally began to wear out and the peo ple in Tillamook and Forest Grove donated money to fix them, but ev ery one was pleased when Mr. Dan aher took the road in hand. I nev er saw or heard of any vicious news paper attacks on him; most people have understood that a large part of the money he donated the road was grafted, so he abandoned it finally in disgust. Every one knows McN'amer nev er touches the road until good weather sets in. He takes out logs as all the settlers do in winter when they want to travel the road, but just enough to get through and on ly for his own convenience. The settlers have to keep it open if they wish to travel it, and have always done so. One toll gate took in over f too year before last. What bridges have ever been built that cost that much by McNamer? People sub scribed to put in the Illingsworth bridge. McNamar would not touch it until he "heard from Mr. Dana her." This is the only bridge of any size which has been rebuilt, We wonder who appointed Sam to ad in ordinary, to Mr. McNamer? Too bad the latter should be such a public benefactor as to keep the road up and lose money by it! Mr. Reehr has never paid toll, no, but they have held him upoften enough and tried to collect it. By hare! labor he has carved a farm and built a comfortable home in these woods, and he denies, and al ways will deny, the right of any man to make him pay for the privi lege of going to or from it. McNamer never had a particle of legal right to collect toll, as the courts have decided It was a graft pure and simple. He has been paid many times for all the woikhe has ever done. The county court had no right and still has no right to lease this road. The law plainly states that no road shall be leased unless there are not sufficient taxes collected along it too keep it in repair. Where are the thousands of dol lars of road taxes collected every year that belong to this road When it is put on repairs we shall really have a good road; safe to travel both summer and winter, something we have never yet bad We are glad the coming railroad will soon put a stop to all toll roads in our county, but as long as there are abundant funds collected along it in taxes, our beautiful mountain road will be kept up. and every year be more popular tor travel. Yours for good roads, Mrs. Jennie A. Reeher. C. E. Loss Reported 111. A. C. Emmons, attorney for the United Railways, has received a etter from C. E. Loss, formerly controlling the stock of that corpor ation, to the effect be is ill at Car pintaria, south of Santa Barbara, Cal. The nature of Mr. Loss' ill ness was not given, but he wrote that his condition had not improved. He recently returned from New York. STRUCK Bf IN A. & C I TRAIN SPINC BAOlf lNJUtD. Marion Hoffma ' " by an A.tor.a a Rl, Train at Me C'weiee.. At a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture held last week, it was decided to cut out pool selling and all other forms of gambling at the state fair. That was good At the same meeting a permit was granted to a Portland man for the exclusive sale of "booze" on the grounds during the fair at the rate of $300 per day for the privilege 1 hat was Dad. However, since the board is now "half civilized," we may hope for still better results another year if proper missionary work is done in the meantime.- Newberg Graphic. Cirla did .you ever think oi it. that boys have more self respect than the members of your sex? There is not a young roan of any degree of respectability that would be seen walking down the street with a drunken girl. You might search the streets with a fine tooth comb and then not find the young man who would lock arms and go promenading with a lady who was puffing a cigar or cigarette or squirt ing tobacco juice on the sidewalks Girls have no hesitancy in accept ing the companionship, heart and hand of anything that "rears pants. Society will become refined when the girls demand of boys who wish to pay them attention the same pur ity of character that the boys de mand of the girl. Junction City Times. "Pnenmrnla'a Deadly Work had so seriously affected my right lung," writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of Rural Route 1. Georgetown. ' o Tenn , "that I coughed continuous ly night and day and the neighbors' prediction consumption seemed inevitable, until my husband brought home a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, which in my case proved to be the only rfal cough cure and restorer of weak, mrr lungs." When all other remedies utterly fail, you may still win in the battle against lung and throat troubles with New Discoverv. th. real cure. Guaranteed by all druggists. 50c and Jt.oo. Trial bottle free. Smallpox at North Yakima. A case of smallpox was discov ered at North Yakima last Friday tne M. Paul lodging house. where thirty men stay. Strict quarantine is being maintained by sheriff and deputies. The health officer fears a spread of the disease through the lower part of the city. lhirty-nve cases are reported from Sunnyside and Outlook in the lower valley. An epidemic of scarlet fever is also raging at Fruit- vale. A Raiuier, Or., dispatch of the 8th says that the Astoru k Colum bia River Portland bound train, at 10:20 this morninit. Moeck's crossing, in that city, un into a wagon loaded with about t joo fcet of lumber. The locomotive struck the front end of the wagon, sending it and the driver to one tnd of the track and the horses to the other. The driver was quite stnously in jured, but at presentit isimpossible to tell whether his injunes will re sult fatally. He has a number of severe cuts, and it i feared his spine is injured. ' The crossing is right at the end of a sharp curve and the driver did not see the train until alter the whistle signaled "brakes down," and it was then too late for him to jump. The crossing is wimin tne city limits. The train was tunning at its usual speed. The injured man's name is Marion Hoffman, and he came here from Gaston, Washington county, a few days ago to drive a team for the C C. Wil son Lumber Company. The cross ing is at the approach to the Wilson dock, and dozens of lumber teams cross it daily so it is remarkable that this is the first accident that has occurred there. Tnnnel Contract Let. E. E. Lytle, president of the Pa cific Railway & Navigation Com pany, has let the contract for the construction of a long tunnel to be driven on the Lytle road. A num ber of others will be built as soou as the work progresses sufficient- ly. The contract just let calls for a tunnel 1400 feet long at a point five miles almost directly west of Bux ton, the place to which the road has already been completed. The work is heavy rock drilling and a compressed air drill, driven by a gasoline engine will be set up. An electric light plant will be installed and the work prosecuted day and night. Three shifts will be worked with the intention of finishing the job as soon as possible. It is ex pected to have the tunnel complet ed in six or eight months. The contractors have had experience in this kind of work and no delays are expected. President Lytle hopes to accom plish much work during the com ing season. Increased forces will be put on as soon as the weather is sufficiently settled and construction work all along the line will be pushed while the weather is favor able for outdoor work.

''The small fruit prospects for this season are better than they have been for many yean," said James IL Reid of the state boatd of horticulture this mrmt. The biggest crop of Royal Ane cherries for years will be gathered thii year, according to the commissioner, nd the prune crop will also be large. The reasons given for a bij cherry crop by Mr. Reid are that the con tinued cold of the past month has prevented blooming, so that the danger of frosts later in the season has been greatly lessened. "Last year May Duke and Gov ernor Wood cherries were in bloom by March 28 and this year they have not yet commenced to bloom Royal Ann cherries started to bloom ast year April 2 and were in lul! bloom April 15. This year they will probably not be in full bloom before April 25. Ten days differ ence in blooming time has a great effect." The cold weather that many are tiring of, according to these state' ruents, is making the fruitgrowers rich. The warm spell that is bound to follow is expected by the fruit growers safely to carry the fruit be yond the danger of heavy frosts At least it is certain that each day brings the fruit much nearer to safe' ty from the cold. Portland Tele gram. It has been estimated that during a year an enormous amount of mon ey is lost in poor advertising, and many a man has refrained from ad vertising his business because he believes it is all waste. False ideas of display, false opinions of the rel ative worth of space and of almost everything which has to do with advertising has made this true. Attracting attention is necessary, but the way that attention is at tracted is fully as important. A dog with a can tied to his tail at tracts attention but it is not a good advertisement for the dog. Oregon Tradesman. Doing- BnaiaeM Again. When my friends thought I was about to take leave of this world, on account of indigestion, nervous ness and general debility," writes A. A. Chrisholm. Treadwell, N. Y., "and when it looked as if there was no hope left. I was persuaded to try Electric Bitters, and I rejoice to say that they are curing me. I am now doing business again as of old, and am still taining daily." Best tonic medicine on earth Guaranteed by a3 druggists' 50c, ONLY THREE WEEKS MORE OF THE COLONISTS RATES Write a Letter to Some Friend in the East and Add Another Family to Oregon' Population. President Benham, of the United Railways, returned last week from San Francisco, where he went about a month ago on a business missiou. Mr, Benham says he is not ready to state what steps will be taken re garding the Oregon Traction fran chise on Stark street, which expir ed last Saturday, but a conference will probably be held by the officers and a decision arrived at before the next council meeting, when an ex tension of time may be asked. The franchise was granted for the proposed line to Forest Grove, and steel was laid on Twelfth aud Pet- tygrove streets. The property was taken over soon after the failure of the Atlas Contract Company to com plete the construction work, and was planned as an addition to the United Railways system. In the event the franchise is rescinded the steel will be torn up and utilized on other portions of the system, as it is in good condition and has never seen any service. Telegram. Bitten By a Spider. Through blood poisoning caused by a spider bite, John Washington, of Bosqueville, Tex., would have lost bis leg, which became a mass of running sores, had he not been persuaded to try Bucklen's Arnica Salve. He writes: "The first ap plication relieved, and four boxes healed all the sores." Heals every sore. 25c at all druggists. (Sjiecial Correspondence.) Portland, Ore., Apiil Sth, 1907 Every resident of Oregon should at once make it his or her duty to write a letter to some acquaintance, relative, or friend, or better still to some old home paper, advising that the colonist rates will expire April 30th. There is uo time to lose. These are one-way rates and good to almost any point in Oregon, for $25.00 to points east of Umatilla, $22 50. This rate includes the en tire Missouri Valley, Minnesota, and the Dakotas, and is available to fifteen millions of people. From Chicago, $33 00, and from St. Louis $30.00, or $2.50 less than these fig ures to points east of Umatilla.
