The letter of Mr.. D. M. French in
Sundays Oregoniam is misleading
regarding the facts in reference to the
claims of Miss Holcomb against Rev.
o. D. Taylor, president of the board of
directors of Wasco Independent acad-
emy. She never stated that they
owed her 500; but. that the president
had promised her 500, of which she
received only 5000, and for the balance
he became personally responsible.
This Is fully substantiated by the let
ters we publish today, and no at
tempt to attract public attention in a
different direction will be successful.
Miss Holcomb does not charge
the board with any perfdy in the mat
ter, and they are only culpable in so
far as they attempt to excuse and JUS
tify Taylor's actions. 1t is simply
question of veracity between the
young lady and o. D. Taylor, and this
community will not hesitate moment
whom to believe when the issue is
fairly stated. This city has already
suffered irretrievably by endorsements
of this man in his schemes in "boom-
ing" North Dalles and the false state
ments in relation thereto, and individ-
ually and collectively it is time we
publish to the world that the oiti-
zens of The Dalles do not sanction any
fraud by which innocent people are
induced to invest their money in
swindling operations.

THE FACTS.
MISS Holcomb.and Miss Equia Inter.
viewed by a Reporter.

The TIMES. .MoUNTAINEER sent reporter
this morning to the residence of Miss HoI-
comb and Miss Equia, on their homestead,
about two miles west of the city, and found
the ladies very comfortably situated in their
cosy little home. Mis- Equia had recov-
cred from her excitement, and was in very
talkatIve mood. The reporter found the
center table covered with beautiful bou-
quets of flowers, which had been sent by
admirers in this city, and for which they
felt very thankful. Miss Equia was highly
pleased with the dress pattern donated by
the business men of The Dalles, and duly ap
preciated their kindness. Our reporter de
voted his principal questions to Miss Hol-
comb. as to the state of facts which led to
the rencounter yesterday with Rev. o. D.
Taylor. and the following is the result given
in her own language:
What were the circumstances which led
up to the trouble between you and Mr..
Taylor?
Last year was engaged to teach. the
term at the rate of 5000 per year. At the
end of the year the board offered me 500
more for teaching the same length of time.
During the summer Mr.. Taylor wrote me
from Chicago, offering me full time, my
pay being proportionate. I accepted this
and considered my salary 500. When
/ went to get my first quarters pay he
refused to pay me more than $3.50 per
quarter, which was at the rate of $500
year. I would not accept these terms, as
they were unjust, and he finally said leave
the matter with him and he would see what
he could do about it. / did not see him
about the matter again until the last of the
year, he being absent and Mrs. Taylor
paying me herself at the rate of 5000 year.
/ foolishly signed the receipts for $3.50 per
quarter, believing MIR. Taylor would make
it all right. did not say anything to Mrs.
Taylor about it-not liking to make any
disturbance with her but saw Mr. Iaylor
the second time about the matter last sat
urday, July 18th, asking him what he was
going to do about the 500 he still owed me.
He said he did not con ider the advance of
500 affected me at all. I reported the
matter to the board for the first time and
they said the promise of the 500 did affec..
me, and that Mr.. Taylor still owed me
500. They called him up, and as I
had given them the letter where he had
promised me pay propertionate, he ac-.
knowledged to the board he had owed me
500; but that he had made second agree
ment with me during the year, whereby
agreed to work for 800. No such agreement
acds ever made 6y me. On Friday, July 2lst,
I called to ask him once more if he would
do anything about the money, and why he
