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. Shdbtb

Desires to inform the people of Gilliam county that his
business is running on full time at the old stand Union
Block, Arlington, Oregon; that the flashy, misleading
newspaper advertisements and circular letters that are
flooding the country have not affected his trade; but on
the contrary, sales nave been inoreasing. His many old
friends and customers realize that no business man will
give away something for nothing. What he loses on the
"baits" he will more than doubly make up on the other
goods he sells his customers. Look out for snares. One
of our greatest statesmen 40 years ago truthfully said:
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all
of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of
the people all of the time."
