quotes and comments rs follows, In
relation to my account, in my last let
Ter, of Mr.. Ricker's statement In con-
nec,ion with voa Schmidt's scheme:
"While in conversation with the
reverend gentleman yesterday, he in-
formed me that, so far as he was per-
sonslly concerned, If they didn't Inter-
fere with the lake, the TrucHee could

be id, and the water all turned out
of II. If the ranchers along the rruckee
Valley were so blind to their W In
terests as to allow their rights to DO
gobbled up In that manner"
The correspondent OF the NEWS Is so
accustomed to profanity that In at
commits TO quote Mr.. Ricker's statement
he unwittingly and very indiscreetly
misrepresents the language used oy
that gentleman. Mr.. X. goes after the
devil and his imps very rough some
times, but he never swears.

editor of the RepuJliean speaks regard
