Tliat $100,000 Contract
One hundred thousand dollars of
tho peopled money Is propoied by tho
Bprlngs water commission to bo
awarded to Smith, Emery & Co., a
firm of chemical engineers, for tho
Installation of a plant for bringing
certain mineral water? Into tho city
of Ashland. Tho springs water com

aglneer of the New York Springs
HlMrvatloB Commission that If tho
ytaiw for bringing the mineral water
' i Aufctana.were carried out accord
lilt to the estimate furnished by

tl elub In November last, when
ery Smith of the firm of Smith,
Smery & Co., was present and stated
that his firm would Install the plant
for bringing tho mineral waters Into
the city of Ashland for the sum of
9100,000, but would have nothing to
do with It unlesa his firm was given
the contract for tho complete Instal
lation, that no plans and specifica
tion would bo furnished by them, that
they must be given an absolutely free
hand In tho matter.
Suppressed Part of Letter.
At tho meeting Ilert H. Orccr. rep
resenting tho springs water commu
nion, read a communication under
dato of November 1C from Chas. O.
Anthony, consulting engineer for tho
Now York Springs Commission to tho
effect that ho would want entlro
charge of tho Installation of the
tpriiigi project If ho were employed
as consulting engineer In ordor that
the work might go along on the best
possible lines without Interference
from others. This fair statement was
garbled by Dort It. Greer to suit his
argument at tho time.
The whole of Mr. Anthony's letter
wns not read, tho portion telllntf the
rommlstdcu that It would lw ulcitliil
to proceed on the lines of tho Smith,
Kiuery Jt Co. estimate wiw not Riven
to tho audience... If the entlro letter
of Mr. Anthony had been road those
present would havo gained a correct
and different Impresblon.
Thoso statements of Mr. Anthony
were supplemented by a letter to tho
springs water commission from Ceo.
Foster Peubody, chairman of tho Now
York State Iteservatlon Commission.
This letter was In tho postosslon of
tho springs commlf3lon at tho time
of tho roadlug of tho Anthony letter.
If this letter had been produced and
read nt (hat IJmo It would havo shown
tho mattor under discussion by Iiert
It, droer and Mr. Emory Smith In a
light not desired by either of them.

In this contract with Smith. Emory

payar what do you think of It?
Tln Ashland wrlUBa wntor com-
mission has kept nil manner of Infor
mation and intelligence obtained by
them absolutely under their control
and not a sentence of It ever gets to
tho public except from the mouth of
llort It. Orccr or tho Ashland Tidings,
his mouthpiece. Citizens, do you
fully understand what this means?
Why did not tho springs water com
mission employ some one competeut
to direct the manner of development
to be undertaken, where so much was
at stake? Why did they employ
Smith, Emery & Co. after being told
by them that tho development of
springs was out of their line, they
were chemical engineers only?
Xit Kwloied Ity Itnllnmd
Tho springs water commission
havo allowed tho Impression that tho
Southern Pacific railroad, through Its
head officials has thoroughly Inves
tigated tho manner of piping tho min
eral waters Into tho city and has pro
nounced the plans, methods and gen
cral scheme to bo feasible and prac
tical; and that their engineering de
partment has checked everything up
and passed on them favorably. This
understanding of the matter has In
fluenced many a reasonable man on
tho theory that what tho S. P. gets
back of must be all right.
The Southern Pacific, by means of
a letter written by their engineering
department and published In the Ash
land Tidings state their position
clearly and there Is no need for any
misunderstanding. The checking of
the figures which had to do with the
surveys relative to the pipe lines was
found satisfactory by them but the
Southern Pacific's communication
plainly state lluit no to the manner
of luwdllng the waters they arc not In
a toaltioii tn clve mlvlrc. Notwith
standing these facts tho fiction Is still
used for effect that tho railroad Is
behind all tho plans of tho commis
sion. Nigger tn Woodpile?
Tho springs water commission wcro
offered tho atsistancc' of tho state
springs reservation commission of
New York during tho months of Octo
ber and November, 1014, and all tthc
largo experience of tho stato of New
York, all tho data and details per
taining to an expensive and most
thorough Investigation of the subject
of development of mineral waters,
wcro placed at tho dlsporal of tho
springs water commission of Ashland,
and rejected by them. With such as
sistance the springs project would
havo gono forward In the best pos
sible manner, tho expenditure of
$175,000.00 would have been amply
safeguarded, for tho people would
know that when the project was com
pleted they would havo an Investment
the best which Intelligence, money,
tlmo and labor could build for them.
Tho hrt-lngs water ronuulvilon en
tered Into contracts n year ago with
J. J. Murphy and J. J. Dixlgo (J. P.
Dodge Is one of the springs water
commission) whereby tho city of Ash
laud is ghen the use of the mineral
water at the Murphy and Podge
hprlngs for piping Into Ashland, ex
clusively for drinking purjsses, on
the condition that the owners of tho
oprlngs lime the surplus water dur
ing certain hours of the -I.
Tor Item-fit of Individuals
What are tho owners of tho springs
to do with tho surplus water? What
right has the springs water commis
sion to enter Into contracts with pri
vato individuals or individual mem
bers of tho commission, whereby the
pipe line owned by tho city Is made
tho carrier of mineral water owned
by a private Individual or enterprise?
Has tho opportunity for tho bot
tling of the surplus waters anything
to do with tho decision of the springs
water commission as to tho manner
of bringing theM mineral waters into
the city of Ashland?
Is tho mineral springs project pri
marily for tho promotion of a private
enterprise In which members of tho
commission might or might not bu di
rectly Interested?

ASHLAXI), March 31. The pass
ing of two prominent citizens oc
curred early in the week in rapid suc
cession. Willi probably only one or
two exception- Albert 0. Itoekfel
low, who died Sunday in his 00th
year, was probably the oldest re-i-dent
of 1hU vicinity. .Moreover, be
was n pioneer, having come here In
18.VJ. lie wn a native of Indiana,
and was n man of gifted intelleet,
both ns a writer of prose and Verc.
Ilo was iiNo a painstaking investi
Bntor in the realm of scientific re
search and wielded a ready pen in
support of his contentions along theso
lines. Mrs. Hoekfcllow died years
ago. One son survives, Alfred Hoek
fcllow, of Seattle. Funeral was held
Wednesday.
Corydon V. Holmes also died on
Sunday in the 70th vear of his age.
He was a native ofXew York slate,
having been bora in 1837. He was
the father of II. I. and W. It. Holmes
of this city. Another son re-ides in
the vicinity of Ottawa, Kan., in which
state the father was a resident for
many years. The deceased was a
civil war veteran. Funeral services
were held Tuesday, interment being in
Hargndine Cemetery.

violators of the game lavvi, are sow
ing the wind to reap the whirlwind
later on. This statement applies to
this vicinity as well as others. Ks)M'
eially in this territory, however, of
fenders think they havo full swing in
the absence of a duly appoinled gauio
warden. They seem to forget that
evidencu will not count jio.t because
an official position in vacant for the
time being. Hoth game nnd fish have
been taken out of season and by un
lawful methods. A tab is being kep'
on this sort of thing and tioublu in
brewing for the transgressors. Deer
have been wantonly killed and prim"
cuts oi venison offered for sale. Of
! course thin has been done in a clan
destine manner.
With the appointment of a gatm
waiden for tho Ashland di-lnct who
is onto the job, look out for develop-1
uients in due season. Tho basis for
these statements is the testimony ofj
sportsmen who have. been watching'
iiifiuc turns of the game laws for the
past few months and who know J
vvheieoC thev tiff um.
