In Defense of Baker's "C. C."
Even if the Commercial Clubof
Baker is chiefly made up of liars,"
grafters, thieves, etc., as Messick
and his henchmen would have the
people believe, by their efforts
and suppert they have accom
plished much for the benefit
of rural communities and the
county as a whole, and for the
enlightenment of those who do
not know, we mention a few:
The star rautes between Sparta
and Baker and between Malheur
City and Baker would not be in
existence but for their aid.

them that is what our laws are I
for. You people do a lot of in-
smuattng, hut you do not come
out with facts.
I pre8umoyourC. C. is made up
of men just as any other club,
some good men and some ? A
little politics in a ('. C. does no
harm. Not party politics not
democrats or republicans, but just
politics for the goo. I of the tow

city ticket of theirown. It might I
be a good thing for Baker to try
and maby we would not hear as
many rotten reports about your
city.
As for the political pie I spoke
of I want to say, you have been
accusing Messick and Hitter of
crooked work and I presumed i
that you thought they were get-l

According to your pivtnium list,
you penalize every ochihitor 10
per cent for winning firt prize.
In other words, w here n$2 prem
ium is offered, you deduct 10 per
cent, giving him $1.80 What is
that for, to encourage,him to win
.second or third prize instead of
fust?
Mr. Duhy challenges me to
point out one act of the CO. that
lias in any way been a detriment
to the interest of the-county. I
challenge' Mr. Duby to show one
act that the 0. 0. did that was
for the betterment of the county.
You admit that yon have asked
for $1000 for the 0. & and $2000
for the fair and yet say they are
self supporting and accuse mo of
tolling an untruth after admit
ting that you had been receiving
th scainounts from .Judge Haschc
The on I v reason you are not ro
cuiviriK them now is because
Judge Messick would not stand
for it. You want to look out Mr.
Duby, the two do not go together
and you are liable to spill the
beans.
If you have any facts against
Judge Messick and Mr. Ritter,
present them to the grand jury,
indict and convict them and we
will all vote for your candidates.
Very truly yours,
K. F. HEAVERS.
