THE CONDOll GLOBE FRIDAY. JUNE 25. 1897. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUWTY. OREGON. A Falsehood Nailed. ' Ai.raoTO!i, Oil, Jnne 21, W. tlXTo Globs, Corwion, Oregon. DwMrfiir: I hope you will give me a Sttteof your spur this week to explain sine mailer that have been current for owe time. It was some weeks ago that there was wafted to my ears various ru mors, which received little attention trnni roe, as I deemed theni bat rnmors. These reports were to the effect that Mr. James W. Smith had become entangled in some legal proceedings with a certain water company in California and was eaedforthe snra ot $100,000; that in view of this fact and that the suit would probably be decided averse to his Inter ests, he had transferred all of bis prop erty to his wife, and that his business in Arlington was in a very shaky condition. These are but some of the things I have beard. I know not how these reports came to be circulated. If it was th rough malicious intent by some one, I desire to disabuse the public mind in regard to these falsehoods, and if told only as a matter of news I feel sure that those who have stated these things as facts will be glad to learn that they have been misin formed and do what they can to rectify the wrong. At first I thought these things were not worthy my attention, bnt as they came thicker and faster I fi nally took some steps to learn of their truth for myself, and incidentally for the information of others. On the 11th instant I wired Mr. Smith s follows : 'Reported that you were sued for 100,000 damages; irrigation trouble; you were beaten ; naa , to leave nome. Wire answer." On the 13th instant I received the fol lowing answer from him : "No foundation for the absurd story whatever. So irrigation trouble, but plenty of bard work." On receiving this I endeavored to learn something of the source of these rumors, and find that they emenated from a cer tain "drummer," Alex Mackenzie, who formerly traveled for Murphy, Grant A Co., of 8an Francisco. He may have heard the rumor, and as we bought no goods of him he may have thought there was some troth in the matter. I would call the attention of those interested to the following statement of Mr. L. O. RalFton, who, with other well known citizens of Olez and vicinity, heard Mr. Mackenzie recite his story in Mr. Bal etoo's store. Here is the statement: . "This certifies that in regard to the re port being circulated that Mr. James W. ttrottb had transferred some ot bis prop erv to bis wife, that said report was told - ... at Olex by Alex Mackenzie, at the time traveling salesman for Murphy, Grant 4 Vo." Signed L. O. ttalston. It was rumored that Mr. Smith bad transferred his Willow creek and all other property to his wife. This is all false from beginning to end, and it any bave a doubt of the truth of this letter I would invite them to investigate the Gil liam county records, also those of Los Angeles and Riverside counties, Cal., for a verification of Mr. Smith's telegram. I hope that these rumors bave not been circulated with malicious intent, and I ean assure the people of this vicin ity that Mr. Smith's business is on as solid a foundation as they bave ever known it. He is one of you. He owns property here and is as much interested in the development of this country as he baa ever been and as all of you are. His business here is as well, yes better equipped to give you prompt and care ful attention in all your needs in a gen eral merchandise line of business than It has ever been. In so far as good and reliable goods at the lowest margin of profit good business instincts will prompt, we are "still in the procession." We invite the closest scrutiny of our bus iness, goods and prices. Thanking you for your favors in the past and hoping we may merit a contin uance of the same, I remain, .': ' , . Very truly, O. A.
