For Idinil of Two.HU Whiskey,

(Special to Tho Bulletin)
LA1D1.AW, Juno 24. Tho follow
ing Is tho text of a letter received by
Fred N. Wallace as secretory of tho
Laldlaw Development league, from
L. H. McMnhan, tho Salem attorney
who Is attempting to block tho util
ization of tho Columbia Southern
appropriation.
Those settlers who have read It
do not seem to entertain any wnrm
regards for t hewrlter of .tho commu
nication than formerly, and a senti
ment seoms general that tho "Injunc
tion lawyer" gives more consideration
to his personal interests and aspira
tions that to the broaa merits of tho
case.
According to the writer, McMahan
has labored long and hard In opposi
tion to grafetlng omclals, but see his
to have gone "broke" In'tno course
of his multitudinous efforts. In the
letter, which follows, he chronicles
some of his legal controversies:
"Fred N. Wallace,
"Laldlaw, Oregon.
"Dear Sir: 1 am Just In receipt of
your courteous letter of Juno 8 in
closing certain resolutions relative to
the suit brought by me against the lr
rlgatlng project In your county.
"I have" been fully advised of tho
situation there and I deeply symmpa-
thlx with all who are concerned. In
order that you may fully appreciate
my viewpoint and .understand why I
brought the suit I submit the follow
inc statement:
" In 1889 I esfnbliohed tho Wood-
hum Independent In this county. At
that time the county offices wero In
control of what was known as the
'court house ring,' a gang of corrupt
politicians' who plundered the tax
payers In a way that would have
made Ooss Tweed take notice. The
fight I made on that gang is a matter
of local history, and I won by forc
ing legislation which corrected the
abuses. In '92 I established In Sa
lem the 'Dally Independent' and for
the first time exposed the corrup
tion existing in the office of tho State
Printer, the Sec. of State, the State
Treasurer and he Supt. of the Peni
tentiary. I also exposed legislative
clerk hire and the Hen and swamp
land frauds. Finally 1 was boycotted
out of business by state officials, who
laid down the rule that no merchant
who advertised with me could fur
nish supplies to state Institutions.
When the daily went under, I started
an editorial weekly called 'McMa
han's Wasp' and kept up the fight
until I stopped many of the abuses of
which I had complained.
"After I quit the newspaper busi
ness I brought suit against the Supt.
of the Penitentiary for converting
13000 of public property to his own
use. Then came the suit against F.
I. Dunbar, ex-Sec. of State, against
whom I obtained Judgment for over
1100,000. Later I enjoined the Cra
ter Lake road and saved the taxpay
ers $100,000. All of these cases you
will find in Suprome Court reports
of this state. I also found that the
State Fair managers were giving out
annually the the 'silk-stocking' brig,
ade about 1800 passes and I stopped
that.
"I mention these things to show
you that I have earnestly endeavored
for more than 25 yoars to proteet
the people against the mlschlevlous
activities of corrupt politicians and
that In this work I have shown no
favor. The work is disagreeable and
exceedingly expensive, but if no one
else will undertake It I will keep It
going.
"I bollve the bill In which you are
vitally interested Is violative of the
constitution, and will if carried Into
effect establish a dangerous preee
dent, i am not opposed to the prin
ciple, but to the method employed.
"I direct your attention to a pro
posed constitutional amandmont to be
submitted at the next election, which
If adopted will allow the state to
equitably Irrigate all the arid lands.
You will And It In the session lawB of
1913.
"I sincerely trust that you will not
believe I am actuated by other than
good motives In this effort to defeat
the law. I was born In t ehbunoh
grass country when wiilsky was two-
bits a drink and n pair of aces was
worth all you could get o nthem be
fore the draw. 1 have a kindly feel
ing for It.
"This note. Mr. Wallace, Is hastily
written and more by way of courtesy
than of explanation. My health at
present forbids greater effort.
"Should you or any of your friends
come to Salem, please call on me,
and we will discuss 'these matters at
length and under conditions as pleas
ant as I can make them to you.
r $IjH-McMAITAN, -
SalemJiSne'Sir"! "
