STATEMENT FROM MIR. GAsCH.

Seattle. Nov. Is. 1897.
To the Editor. VIII you grant me space
In your paper 10 answer the grave charges
OF how the county poor Jared" under
my administration? Mr.. and Mrs. James
Bengston lived on n farm some five miles
east OF Redmond. in this county. In the
year 1891 Mr.. .Bengston had the misfortune
to have a tree fall across his back. which
made him an invalid for life. The books
of the county In which all poor orders
are recorded show that the first requisi-
ton for Mr.. Bengston's relief was drawn
on January Is. lSei. amount furnished. SID.
These orders. running at times as high as
$l2 per month. were kept up TO December.
1888. The care becoming long and last
ing one, the commissioners desired 10 have
Mr.. Bengston moved 10 the county hospi-
tai. but Bengston refused 10 he moved.
After this time and up to his death.
which occurred about the time OF giving
tho last order. May q. ls's. the orders for
relief were itenized monthly In the fol-
lowing order: Flour. bacon, beans lard.
salt pork, sugar. coffee. coal oil. soap.
rolled oats. etc. Where and when Mrs.
Bengston bought and secured the bill q

unable To tell for l absolutely deny hay
ing ordered these articles myself As
was not the only commissioner attending
TO the wants of the Bengston family. some
orders were given them by Commissioners
Rutherford and Hesion.
As 10 the trouble Expert Young has
taken in writing TO Mrs. Bengston, aud
tho answer thereto. l will say that on
one occasion Mrs Bengston ordered 40
liberal supply of such high-rrieed gro-
eeries that she was refused the order. and
many were the arguments between her
ard myself as to what constituted
months supply.
am SURPRISED TO see that the Item OF
dry goods escaped the censure Of Expert
Young. "a Mrs. Bengstoa required n,
times whole bolt of linen for bandsges
for her husband.
will now draw The attention OF Expert
Young to the fact that upon careful ex-
animation Of all the poor bills he will a.
times find articles which would ordinarily
seem Injuries. but which were SLOWED ~
eases Of sickness. and again 20 Others
where people simply imposed upon the
commissioners. ] call the attention OF
Expert Young 10 the eases Of old Mrs.
Welsh and Mrs. Festi2. both being ostenSi-
hly county poor. and both. after death
being found possessed Of money 10 the

one ever having had experience with this
work can readily understand that 10

BILE do not claim having escaped and
any one in the work mnst fare likewise
As To the prices paid FOR clothes thts

will go direct from Baltimore 10 Chicago.
and from there to S.. Paul Then they
will travel over the Canadian Pacific rail-
road to Ashcroft. In British Columbia.
From there they will go by stage TO Cues
nellie, which Is distance OF about 20
miles There they will strike the Fraser
river. and by canoes VIII travel ninety-8ve
miles to Fort George. AT the latter place
they have a claim Of 3a0 acres. Then they
viii travel on by canoes for another hum
dred miles, when they viii reach Fort Nc
Leod. This place Is at the junction OF the
Peace and Parsnip rivers, and at that
point the members OF the expedition have
secured a claim OF GO acres. The party
expects TO reach their destination about
the middle OF December. and they have no
fear about rugged weather. The claims
they have secured are located In the heart
OF Cariboo district, in British Columbia,
and the climate there Is similar to that
OF San Francisco. The Fraser river, on
which the claims lie. is a mighty river. al
most as large as the Yukon. and furnishes
route TO the Klondike, Just as the latter
does. The claims. however. are just about
600 miles south OF Dawson City, and as
that section OF the country has been but
very little explored. the men who have
rushed on TO the Klondike have never
heard Of this route. Most of the country
is controlled by the Hudson Bay Company
