East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-24

PENDING the erection of the new w
q. c. X. depot, which seems to be held
up for several years an effort is be-
ing made to have the railroad offices
moved to a place near the central
part of town. Such "a change is
greatly desired by the patrons of the
road, and also the employees. The
present depot Is considered too far
removed from the main business por-
tion of the city to be conveniently
reached, and also the sidewalk con-
nections are inadequate.
Negotiations have been carried on
for some time between the railroad
company and r. Martin for the leas-
ing of the first floor corner room in
the State hotel and II is not improba-
bic that an agreement will be reached
in the near future. This location is
considered most desirable one by
reason of its accessibility, and the EN-
ployes of the company are hopeful
that the building will be secured.
During the week Joseph McCabe,
fice-president and general manager
of the w. & c. r.. is expected in Pen
dleton and II is thought that he will
take the matter up while here, and
unless there is a possibility of the
new depot being built soon, that new
in the Martin building will
be secured.

IL would desire TO present some state
,ments for your consideration.
In sequence, the lies contained in
this utterance are:
Lie one:-MR. DODD KNEW OF
THE LETTER BEFORE MR.. JACK
SON RECEIVED IT, AND 1T WAS
PENNED IN COMPLIANCE WITH
HIS ORDER. 1t is true that he
neither wrote it, read it nor dictated
it, but he did order me to secure a
story on Golconda. I wrote the let
ter. after consideration, and then told
Mr.. Dodd of the letter. AS his ami
mus towards Mr.. jackson was well
known, he desired not to appear in
the matter until the story was secur-
ed and therefore made the letter to
appear as a semi-personal one.
MR.. DODD APPROVED OF THE
LETTER WHEN / TOLD HIM OF
1T, and expressed his continued eag-
erness to expose" the workings Of
some of the shareholders in the mine,
Later for some reason he experienced
a change of heart and refused to
make any public statement concern
ing the case.
Lie two:-The statement that told
the city editor of the matter and in
formed him there would be some
thing in II for him IL he kept quiet,
or words to that effect.
1 never informed Mr.. Myers or any
one else connected with the Tribune
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-24
DD DODD EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE, DICTATE BlCkMNG LETTER.?

Since the Tribune persists in MAX
ing other peoples business its own
in the Golconda affair, the following
letter from Dana Sleeth, who wrote
a matchmaking letter TO C. S. Jack
son. may be of interest to the editor
of the Tribune.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Dodd held up his hands in horror
when accused of attempting to black
mail c. s. jackson. by offering to
hold out an alleged news item con-
cerning the progress of the Golconda
deal, for "a pot Of gold"
His reply to the letter placed all
the blame on Sleeth, his telegraph
editor. Sleeth now writes the truth
about the attempted hold-up and the
public may form its own opinion.
Further evidence. substantiated by
affidavits, is being secured to show
Mr. IDodds guilty knowledge of the
matchmaking letter. Sleeth's state
ment is as follows:
Portland. Or. Feb. 20, 1905.
Editor East Oregonian.
Dear Sir:-My attention has just
been called to statement which ap-
peared in the Tribune recently. The
statement was concerning letter of
mine to c. S. jackson. and 1 presume
was authorized by e. p. Dodd.
II would be difficult to concoct a
more libelous or false statement, and
II may be allowed to defend myself
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-24

OF the letter. His ability for keeping
quiet was considered so slight that
Mr.. Dodd never told him of the at
tempt to secure a story on Golconda
and he knew nothing of the matter
during my term with the Tribune.
Lie third:-"Sleeth was discharged
for a sufficient reason" the reason
being intimated to be because l pen
ned the letter. 1t happens that the
sufficient reason was that Mr.
Dodd. after agreeing to pay me sac
a week to do telegraph and local
work 90 the Tribune for at least six
weeks after January LIST. failed to
keep his agreement, but after one
week secured his former local re-
porter and cut my salary to the old
figure of $40 a week At that time
informed him my relations with the
Tribune would cease as soon as he
secured another man for my place.
and some weeks later we parted when
the desired condition had been at
tanned. The GoIconda letter in no
way entered into the question and II
was merely a matter of difference in
wage scale.
Lie four:--That stated / was will
ling to make an affidavit that the
letter was a personal matter and that |
no one connected with the Tribune !
was connected In any way with 1t.
i did at one time tell Mr.. Dodd
that the letter was written to appear

NO RATE REDUomoN.
o. II. & N. Declines To Give Reduced
Rates on Wheat to Duluth.

Walla Walla, Feb. 24.-The o. Il.
n. company has decided that II
cannot at the present time make a
reduction in the rate on grain from
Walla Walla to Duluth. This matter
was discussed at a meeting of the
transportation commstee of theN Com
mercial club and the railroad Off
cials last week, when the protest
made by w. w. Raymond was taken
up.
This morning General Agent Burns
of the o. R & n. company was in
structed by General Freight Agent
Miller to inform Chairman Catron of
the Commercial club that after con-
sidering the matter the company had
decided that 1t could not grant the
concession asked for at this time.
The railroad people >maintain that
Notwithstanding that the rate from
the, Palouse country is lower than
from Walla walla, still the Walla
Walla grain growers have at all times
been able to secure much larger
price for their product than the Pa
louise farmers.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-24

as personal one and that his fear.
of being drawn into the matter were
groundless and that was ready to
assume the responsibility of securing
me story when he published it, but
mat is the extent OF any affidavit
pledge. 1t Is also needless to state
thht under the circumstances had
been insane enough TO make such a
pledge 1t would have been eagerly ac-
cepted since Dodd throughout the
entire course of the incident betray-
ed considerable anxiety lest he be in
vowed In the case in "A personal way.
To sum up the matter, Mr.. Dodd
was not innocent SO far as the letter
went. since he instructed me to Sc
cure the story. approved of the letter
and only after several weeks betray-
ed desire to shift the blame to me
personally by publishing his remarka-
BILE statement after I was some 900
miles away and apparently believing
that the limited circulation of his pa
per would prevent me from discover
ing the falsehoods and make safe his |
statements.
Thanking you in advance for the |
courtesy in making this reply public,
and assuring you that only such a
personal insult would have caused
me to continue an editorial battle. !
Very truly yours,
DANA SLEETH.
