C. C. Hulet, who will have charge of tho Morrill meeting: Wednesday, June 10, 1925. To The Daily Klamath News, Klamath Falls, Oregon. Gentlemen: Inasmuch as The Evening Her ald of June 9th and June 10, made the. statement that I had been misquoted by The Klamath News in their Issue of June 9th, regarding the railroad meeting held In Malln Sunday, June 7th, I think In -fairness to all con cerned I should say that when I was called op the phone and ask ed If I had not been misquoted by The News, the call coming from Mr. A. M. Thomas, I said to him that perhaps The Klam ath News had made it a little strong, but since that time I have talked with, a number of "repre sentative' citizens of Merrill,, and find that the statement, made in The News of June 9th was really a true expression of the major ity of the people of Merrill. , The Merrill community wants to be fair to all concerned, and any person who Is able to shed any light on the railroad situa tion Is Invited to attend the mass meeting tonight at Merrill and will be given an opportun ity to be heard. Personally 1 do not propose to . be a cat's paw to be used by either side for pulling chestnuts out ot the fire, and further If I have any influence in tho Merrill commuuify, that Influence will be used to prevent the Merrill community from becoming such a cat's paw for either side. ' What we want is a railroad and we don't caro who builds it. (Signed) C. C. HULET.
