maintained that Professor Scudder, a
soil expert of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College, had pronounced it

that Pendleton was the best location

view of these things he selected the
site and that it was worth every dol

Turning to the matter of the Sc
lection of DR.. Plamondon as superin-
tendent of the. branch asylum, he
maintained that he did so because he
did not agree with Dr. Steiner's ideas
of conducting an asylum and that he
did not want him to have the super
vision of the construction of the
eastern Oregon asylum and the franz
ing of its policy, He then reviewed
the advice DR. Steiner had given him
in the selection of site and pro-
nounced it impracticable and pro-
ceeded with an attack upon his policy
at the state hospital for insane locat-
ed in this city.
