DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.

Walla Walla, June IS, 1904.
Editor, Statesman:
Your paper of the 18th in reporting
the actions Of the city council said
that my statements on Tuesday night
last We're deceptive, and l came in for
very severe criticism. Since reading
the articles in your paper, have
learned that your report was very
mild indeed, compared with the re-
marks of the councilmen. | wish to
say to the council, inasmuch as their
statements caused me to be published
and held up before the people as a
fraud, that the councilmen who made
the accusations are in error, and they
owe it to themselves and to me to fur
Their investigate, and if it is found that
they are in error to make repara ton
due me through the medium of your
paper through which, part of their
statements We're published. | cannot
believe our city council to be embark
ing in the business of libelling it's citi-
zenS, therefore | claim the right to
demand of the city council as a body,
to investigate and either deny or at
firm through the columns of your pa
per what they charged me with last
Friday night at the council meeting,
and | demand it.
Earnestly yours,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-06-28

False Report Concerning S. & x. ny

False Report Concerning S. & X. ny.
A report has been circulated that
the proposed Spokane d Kootenai
Railway had been definitely located
through the Paradise Valley route,
and Mr.. +. NJ. Young, the engineer
in charge of the northern division,
was given as authority for the
statement, it being alleged that he
had returned and made such an
nouncement. The report lacks the
following elements of truth:
l. The road has not been located
through Paradise Valley.
2. Mr.. Young did not make the
statements attribute to him.
3. MIR. Young has not arrived
IN Bonners Ferry, and has not been
within $500 miles of here for sever
al weeks,
The balance of the story may be
correct.
The HERALD learns from Mrs. F.
NJ. Young that her husband was in
Lewiston. Maine two weeks ago to
dav and that he is now visiting
relatives ak Groveton, New Hamp-
shire. He is is expected home soon
but Just when is uncertain.
