HORSE PLANS, \. P. r. r
WEsf MONTANA, Feb. y.
EDrrcR STATESMAN 1T is sd to see the
Wal!a wslls Union enutipually making ms-
representations of this section of tbs coun'
Try. Kind heaven knows tbs bsd enough tc
have the truth told of Us But when one
comes to think I presume these papers thai
exassersse aud misrepresent our doing. here
are not To be blamed, for they must have &C
much other business and nsws to sif, and ~.
tend to tia. this distant land can only claim
& passing notiee. In fact apparently. Any
thing that j, heard or thought Of is showed
into print, regardless Ct verssisy or any
ones feelings. That good and truthful
paper, :he Walla Walls Csioz, in the num-
Der of the 10Th inst. states:
The town OF rhonp,cn has been virtually
abandoned on account OF the small -pcx Ire
among the Chinese, three Of whom have Al
rescy died, and t1o we're dying on Friday
last. The 81 = mills have been shut dow n
on account of the men leaving. All the
whites employed near the neighborhood have
lett and the place Is qusrantin-d. Trains
when passing the place accelerate their speed
| There Is considerable uneasiness felt among
those At The front IN account Of the hold the
| disease has taken along the liur.
The rnniuI duty falls upon me to inform
the good people of Walia Walla through the
free and upright columns of your sad, sweet
paper, Mr. Editor. that the Union man is of
ms cahaseus on that little item First place
there has
NEVER BEEN CASE or sAALL-PoX
At Thom ,,son next. there has been no Chi.
aese camP-d there for over . mouth third,
there Is no saw.milis within eight miles of
Thompson. The few whites employed near
the neighborhooi have not left, for they are
still On duty, attending to business for the
company. The place is not qusrsntined
Trans when passing here do not sccele-
rate their speed. for there is Y there and
. saloon. The boys generally turn their en-.
gnes there and drop into the saloon to We.
up and maybe play little stud" or
game of billiards. They always fool Away
all the time and money they have to spare
there. There is not particle of uneasiness
fit by any one at the II mt on &C :oaut Of the
iisease, nor on account Of anything else
They would Just as leave have the small
pox As TO be hung up They arc kind of .
don't give d-d sort of a crew." but an
uutruth We cannot stand in Feorpary-.ny
other month it might pass
50 MUCH FOR ONE ITEM.
The next, which unnerved mo scmsx hat
"AIl the splIes have been driven for the faIse
work at the third crossing" When first
read that it made me weep tears of ice for
It was cold day. or !. cold day when We
set lett You See h,i worked hard all
morning getting pile-driver ready to move
10 the third crossing 10 do that piece of
Uo,k the item mentions and thought at
first that some one had got shesd of me and
done the work. But was soon made zap
py IN the evening. for when come to look
through All slmsnac and a patent medi-
cine Advertising book or two, soon learned
that spile meant a email peg or wooden
pin to stop hole, so | came to the conelu-
sion tha. If any p,rties were stopping boles
with small pegs or pin, a: the third crossing
it had nothiny tc do with my work. With
that happy though, l continued on at work
AMI now have all the piles driven for the
west sFproach Of the bridge at the third
crossing. Am Just about ready to begin
driving III the water. So even if some true
and tried type-setter made miscue and got
AN FxrRA IwIRL BEFORE THOSE PILES,
The item would have been too fact entirely
neat the fastest time OF recuri.
Another item. under The sam. heading,
resds: "a few days ago quite 4 number of
men were pat II work blilding and thawIng
,ut t,h or Hors, Plains" do not like
" - .tlG-sr ANAl it- ~ &c hc"
ses:hr;ic nay ct tryiag 70 tel the pablo
that en- the l3:h last two gangs Of Chlnamen
were at work digging AMI blasting ditch
across a part OF H"ree Plains. The same
item further states: 1T was found nec-s-
,aTy 70 blast rock" | am sorry TO make
known tie fact that not bit Of rock wss
blasted IN making this ditch. II was po,h-
ing but frozen dirt ami ice that sss blasted.
csGnot bring myself to believe that the
Cuioa soaid tbrs intentionally scum the
ruth so much, especially So near the 22l OF
February. Hoping it will have some little
rrspee. for our tender feelings in the future.
