Freight Rates to Eastern Ore
gon Reduced.
The state railway commission
on March 31 ended the most im
portant session of its existence,
cutting freight rates in Oregon
from one-tenth to one-sixth of
the present first-class rates, and
all other freight rates according
ly. The basis ef the decision is
that all rates from Portland to
to points in eastern Oregon east
of The Dalles, shall be reduced a
portion of the excess above the
rate from Portland to The Dalles
which is 25 per cent on the first
class rate. For instance, the
rate from Portland to Umatilla
is 85 cents per 100. The new
rate is 75 cents and all other
rates are cut in proportion.
: In the last issue of the Sher
man County Observer there ap
peared a number of misrepre
sentations and insinuations that
should be answered. It seems
as if the above named paier
has taken a special delight in
warping and twisting the truth
beyond recognition. It is my
purpose and intent, in a brief way,
to explain some of these erron
eous statements.
The poet has truthfully said:
'Truth crushed to earth shall
rise again." so it wiiijn mis
case even though our time-honor
ed sinner has so cleverly, adroitly
and dexterously handled it that
you would take him to be a fenc
ing master. But let us leave him
now wrapped in the solitude of
his own ignorant bliss that we
may give you some facts cold
facts facts and figures and let
ters and signed statements that'
speak for themselves.
In the first place the "O Man"
asks about a certain bill for $15,
which was allowed for examining
an insane person, usten, ana i
will tell you all about it The rea
son I got a Doctor from Grass
Valley was that on that partic
ular day I received a 'phone from
the Sheriff, and he told me that
he had an insane person at Moro;
that there was no Doctor in town
then and for me to bring one
fromGrassValley.whichldid. In
this instance, as usual, the Un
reliable distorts the truth. He
claim s. that $15.00 were paid.
Here is the record:
The school fair which was held
at the school house on Friday
last was highly successful in ev
erv way. About 150 visitors
were present and standing room
was way above par. A short
program was rendered after
which mht refreshments, con
sisting of punch and wafers,
were served. The exhibits were
shown on the second floor and
consisted of the wouk done by the
entire school from the first to
the eleventh grades. These ex
hibits showed the work which is
being done in every branch in
our public school and made
very interesting display. Much
interest was shown by those at
tending the &ir and it is to be
hoped that this interest in ed
ucational lines will be kept up.
ed to wrong me to the amount
of $40 a few years ago on a
settlement of a horse deal. This
insinuation is a base lie, I never
bought any horse , from Judge
Bourhill and he has never wrong
ed or attempted to wrong me in
the smallest particular, on the
contrary I have the highest re
spect for our Judge who ha3
always treated me fairly and has
on dmerent occasions Deen a
rood friend to me. I desire that
this should be published as an
answer to this one of the many
lies now being published against
Judge Bourhill.

Total 113.50
The distance from Grass Valley
to Moro is ten miles, which makes
this a very reasonable charge.
But why is it Brother Ireland,
that you persist insist on
stretching and perverting the
truth from $13.50 as it is, to
$15.00 to which it is not?
Once more, Brother Ireland, if
you will examine the records for
the January .1907 term of, the
County Court you will plainly see
that there was no bill allowed for
printing the semi-annual report
as you assert there was at that
time. But that the Grass Valley
Journal was allowed $6.00 for
printing said report, which re
port was filed in the office of the
County Clerk on the 3rd day of
Nov. 1906 and allowed by the
County Court on the 5th day of (.. Mt ' on '"" B'k

The two signed statements be'
low, Brother Ireland, are for
vour enliirhtenment relative to
the $250.00 and the $1000.00 deal,
The $250 allowed at . the April
term of the County Court shows
on the docket and also on the
warrant issued that it was for
the pauper account of Henton.
This was for expense of sending
his family, who were afilicted
with consumption, to Arizona,
The family consisted of five per
sons, two of whom died shortly
after their arrival there. Every
cent of the $250 was necessary to
pay their expenses.
Concerning the $1,000.00, this
is not the amount but only
$952.70, which was an unexpend
ed balance of an appropriation
of $1000 appropriated to build a
road down Finnegan Canyon,
which was stopped by an injunct

I am asked what about Sunfirie
and Expenses allowed at different
times. Of course I haven't time
to teach the Old Reliable the ru
diments of book-keeping; for that
would take entirely too long; but
for the benefit of the public I
will state that nothing but items
of legitimate expenses were ever
price for such work as had been allowed and in some cases I have
your custom so to do. In the con-' been out expense money and the
versation at the Moro depot, with
the editor of the Journal, one C.
L. Ireland of Moro, Oregon, en
deavored to get said editor of the
Journal to maintain this high
charge, namely, $20.00. The
foregoing can be supported by
Mr. Westerfield's affidavit
"Consistency thou art a Jewel."
But this is not all. For a little
diversion suppose you read are
freshing letter a little sea-
breeze from Hans Koepke about
"A horse deal". Here it is:
s Kent, Ore. April 6, 1908.
, The Sherman County Observer
of 3rd April insinuates that Judge
County got the benefit of it
While we are on the subject of
accounts let me inject a little in
terest in the case. Say, Mr. Ob
server, what kind of a system of
book-keeping do you maintain at
your shack ? Do you suppose you
could ever strike a balance in ten
years if you were allowed to work
on Sundays? Why is it that you
have so much trouble with many
of your customers when you reVi
der them statements? Is it be
cause they are always wrong and
you always right?
