Facts and Alleging
Tfickery.

The complaint Of the wood-bauler'
about Salem, az published 10 this paper,
has taken form Of petition 10 the
state asylum board a copy Of which IL
printed below.
Under the Lord administration the
sarnec omplaiDts we're made and sim
liar attempt at monopoly was tried,
and the state officials after considering
the " hole matter rejected h highest bid
and distribute the wood contracts as
widely as possible at fair price con-
sderably above the lowest price. II Is
hoped the present administration can be
Influenced to do the same.
wooDHAuLERs' PETITION.
To the honorable state board of asylum
commissioners Of Salem, Oregon:
GENTLEMES: We, the undersigned
residents Of Salem and vicinity, hereby
submit 10 your honorable board the fol'
lowing grievances occurring to us az 9
result of the awarding Of the bids loi
wood lately considered by your honor
able body, for wood 10 be furnished tt
the Oregon state insane asylum.
We hereby respectfully state that we
the undersigned, are clearing M ON
farms, making homes for ourselves; de
vrloping the country paving our taxe'
and debts, and are dependent in lar''f
MEASURE in doing this upon selling the
wood we make.
That in putting in bids Tor wood lately
awarded by Your honorable body, W.
were individually and collectively ap
proached by one Mark Skill. resident
nf ibe city of Salem, IN put all our bids
for wood IL at 81 per cord, and that he
heing the owner Of large amounts oi
wood. wonld put in bids accordingly
and that acting upon the advice OF said
Skiff. we in good faith, believing that
said Skiff was acting In good faith with
us, fulfilled our promises and carried oui
our agreement like honest men. But
said Skiff, as subsequent events have
shown, after inducing ms TO offer ouT
wood at certain price, and then agree.
ing 10 offer his at the same price, resorted
To methods OF deception and trickery,
and pnt in one bid Of a thousand cordf
at S3 per cord, and then by the use Of q
proxy in the person OF one g. + Clark.
/ put the same wood mp and two thousand
cords more at $2.74 per cord. thereby
taking the work away from us by decep-
tiou, to our loss and injury.
Therefore, we protest and AJAX yonr
honorable body TO relet said bids 10 that
fairness and justice may be done 10 all.
and we guarantees that the state will not
pay more than the price OF f2.74.

thia disease for the past two hundred

nature OF the trouble has been very little
known until quite recently. The tirst
successful rependix was performed on
May 8, 1896. Since that time the num-
her Of successful operations has greatly
increased until, while 0 it is regarded

operation. There is much popular mis-
