With the payment this afternoon

Fathor Shechan has not been ad

Does The Oregon Journal Lie?
The Oregon Journal, in a malicious and misleading story
in its issue of February 15, asserts that The Bulletin is
"padding" the delinquent tax list now being published in
the weekly edition, "by setting jit in large type and charg
ing the "county three times the rates paid by other adver
tisers." The Journal further says that the rate at which the list
is being published "is approximately three times the rate
charged the ordinary advertiser."
Unless the Journal wishes to stand on its special defi
nition of the words "large," "other" and "ordinary," its
statements arc false.
If it has a special definition
is malicious in so holding that definition while using the
words in a manner calculated to give an entirely different
meaning to the ordinary reader.
The Bulletin, in common with every other newspaper,
charges for advertising in its columns .a rate depending
on the kind of advertising, i. e., whether display, reader,
classified, or legal. The rates are shown on its rate card,
of which we believe the Journal has a copy. The Journal
presumably has a rate card of its own. ' We invite its pub
lication so that the general
rates charged, depending on the kind of advertisement.
In the weekly edition of The Bulletin, display advertis
ing, home composition, is charged for at a rate of 15 cents
a column inch. It is this rate which the Journal compares
with that charged for the publication of the tax list. The
comparison is false and misleading, since the two classes
of advertising are as different
vertisement on page 11 of
question.
Display advertising is not the only kind carried by a
newspaper. There is also reader advertising, classified.
and legal. For each a separate rate exists. In the case of
The Bulletin, the rates are as shown qn its rate card. For
reader advertisements The Bulletin rate is 10 cents per
line, for classified, one cent a word or five cents a line, for
legal notices five cents a line.
We agree that the rate on the delinquent list is not the
same as that on display advertising. If the Journal al
leges that it is not the same as that charged for other legal
advertising in The Bulletin, it lies. This statement is made
with full knowledge of the laws of libel.
As to the charge that the list has been set in "large"
type, we point out that whether a thing is large or small
is wholly a matter ot comparison. Compared with the
Journal, The Bulletin is in size, and in size only, a small
newspaper. Compared with many other country news
papers, The Bulletin is large. The type in which the de
linquent list is set is the same as that in which the Journal
story was set. Furthermore, it is the size on which the
rate for legal publications is based.
The Bulletin is not a grafting newspaper, nor is it one
which distorts the truth in its news. The class of news
paper or individual that maliciously makes false state
ments concerning it is ordinarily unworthy of notice or
reply. When, however, false charges against it are given
wide circulation, and when, as in the present case, the
charges may be taken to involve men of the integrity of
W. D. Barnes, Lew E. Smith and A. L. Mackintosh, the
County Court of Deschutes County, we answer.
PORTLAND WAITS ON

(From Monday's Dally.)
(Oregonlan.)
Delays at Klamath Falls, Bond,
Lakevlow and other communities In
discharging dotatls coincidental with
tho construction of tho Central Ore
gon Railway projoct havo deferred
for several wcoks tho Inauguration of
tho campaign in Portland for aid
ing the capitalization of tho under

tho project, Is now In California, and
until his roturn to Portland tho Port
land railway commlttco will not start
work. Commlttco meetings have
been hold, however, and details of
tho progress thus far m'ado havo

MOISTURE SUPPLIED MAY MEAN
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAIL
URE AND BUMPER CROP FOR
COMING SEASON.
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
It may mako slower traveling, but
tho snow which has fallen slnco Sun
day amounts to a donation ot many
thousands of dollars to tho dry farm
ers In Central Oregon, Is tho declara
tion ot ranchers In this vicinity. Lit
tlo bonoflt, It Is held, was derived
from earlier snows, as what mois
ture was deposited In tho ground was
dried out by cold and wind. It Is
thought 'that tho snowfall may iceau
tho dlfforcnco between a failure and
a bumper crop.
Through tho Interior, especially In
tho Big Illver and Crcscont neigh
borhoods, the fresh snow has reached
a depth ot nearly 12 inches, and until
today a virtual blizzard has been
raging. In splto ot this, howovor, no
harm to cattlo has boon reported, and
with an abundance of hay on hand,
rnnchors havo experienced no troublo
whatovor from tho fleecy precipita
tion. To tho north ot Bond, Mio snow
becomes ovor llghtor and lighter,
practically nono falling on tho north
ern half ot tho linos, until last night,
and officials entertain no fear ot n
blockade.
FORBES, OF BEND.
I (From Tuesday's Dally.)
(By C. C. Chapman, In Oregon Voter)
For sheer ability It Is doubtful
whether any debater on tho floor ot
tho houso can bo classed with Forbes,
of Bond. Whon ho falls to carry his
point, It Ib becauso ho outrages tho
finer toolings ot many mombors by
his cavalier contempt for moral con
victions. But ho carries nearly o
ory point ho fights for, and whon
ho loses temporarily on tho floor, he
wins Inter, as a rule by his quick
work In organizing tho house to ro
vorso Itself. '
I havo novor coddled Forbes, al
though his abilities havo compelled
my admiration. But I bollovo In
"giving tho dovll his duo," and I
will say this that Forbes' word In
a political promise Ib absolutely re
liable; ho docs not straddle: ho plays
his kind of a gamo iqunro. While I
cannot bring mysolf to bollovo that
ho Is ovor unsolfleh, I must admit
ho Is forcoful, consistent, courageous
and soma scrappor.
