she and her manager have a very
clear conception of what her legal
rights are respecting her water pow
or. They accept the constitutional
guarantee at its full face value that
private property shall not be taken
fer public use except upon the pay
ment of just compensation. but neith-
er she, her manager or her son have
ever discussed with me, since | have
teen employed as her attorney, any
method for preventing the city from
securing a mountain supply of wa
ter. They have complained, however,
and r,ghtfully I think, of your at
tacks being unfair and unjust.
I am. also. thoroughly convinced
the Milling company has done moth
ing to prevent street improvements,
except to sign general remonstrauce.
for the reason that when the city de-
termined to improve Alta street on
which the Milling company owns
large amount of frontage. a represen-
tative of the Warren Construction
company which was intending to be-
come a bidder on the paving of that
and other streets, called upon me
and desired to secure my services in
connection with the making of such
contracts as it might secure for paw
ing work. Immeditely after the con-
ference with this representative I in
formed Mrs. McCOmas that If such
employment would conflict with my
duties as attorney for Mrs Byers /
would not accept. She assured me
that there was no danger Of a con-
flict. She urged me to accept the
employment and congratulated me
upon being rendered the work. Since
that time neither she nor her mother
has indicated to ne the slightest
change in their sentiments regarding
street improvements.
Mrs. Byers is an intelligent and re-
fined woman possessed of a high
sense of honor. Of gentle manners and
of kind and considerate disposition.
She is not the character of woman
who lies or jobs or sneaks about try
ing to injure others. If you knew
her personally ne would realize how
absolutely foundationless are his ac-
cusations.

turn to the expenditure of two hun

A LETTER FROM JUDGE FEE.

PendletOn Ore, Aug. 81, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
For several months past you have
persistently charged the Byers Milling
company with attempting to Clock
street improvements and of conduct
ing "a sneaking, lying, pernic.ous
campaign to job those who want
mountain water" This language is
vigorous, and 1 should say unknd
and ill-advised unless based on proof
positive that the charge is true.
lnow the accusation cannot be sus-
tanned. and / take the liberty Of call
ing your attention 10 facts which iu
my estimator disprove your asser-
tons, yet before doing so ! want to
disclaim any intention Of entering m
to a personal controversy.
The Byers Milling company is not
a corporation, nor its it a company
except in name. for no individual, eN-
cept Mrs Byers, owns any interest
whatever, either directly or indirectly
in the mill property, or the water
right She manufacture flour and
other mill produce for sale the same
as Mr.. Hamley manufactures harness
and saddles for sale. 1t certainly y
not a crime to conduct such an en-
terprise, although one might assume
it was from some of your editorials.
If any enterprise is Legitimate. this
| must be reckoned as one. She at
tends strictly to her own affairs and
| interferes with no one. She is now
| last l6 years of age, and lives among
| her flowers and plants, looking after
her household duties and giving such

| she deems necessary. Her daughter

Ever since the death of Mr.. Byers

OF legal adviser, and have had fire.
| quent conferences with herself and
her manager regarding her milling
! business, and / want to say, distinct
ly, that the Byers Milling company
is not endeavoring to discredit either
the quality or the quantity of watel
at the Thorn Hollow Springs, nor Is i
now, nor has it been, conducting "a
sneaking, lying or pernicious cam
paign" for that purpose. The Millini
company, as conducted by Mrs Byer
and her manager, is above jobber.
and above employing underhan'
methods to defeat the will of tn
people upon either water rights o

70 ASK THE HORSE.

Al II Iaany weeks of delay the Jity
officials are going to investigate the
removal of the overhead wires by
consulting with engineers represent

trust. If this is the extent to which
the city IS going to garry its investi-
eatior tasn the cause Of removing the
overhead wires may as well be drop
Ped as fs- as the council is concerned
and an initiative measure prepared

Past experience with the telephone
company tas shown conclusively that
for truth and veracity its officials
may 10, be relied upon. They de-
clared under oath 70 the county asses
c- their Pendleton equipment was
worth only $4,000. Yet when they
raised local rates they calmly de-
ciared that their plant was worth
$4,000
Nor may we rely upon promises
r,ade by representatives Of the tele-
phone trust When the local rates
were raised the district manager de-
c!ared the corporation was going to
spend $4,000 in betterments in Pen

should the city officials place furthe

time have 1 seen Mr.. Johns in or
about either. 1 know he has no busi-
ness relations there and is under no
obligations to the milling company
or Mrs. Byers whatever. Therefore, 1
assume he expressed his individual
opinions upon a public question,
which, l presume, he believed he had
d perfect right to do. But / am re-
llably informed he was a representa-
tive of the United States in making
that trip; that he went at the request
of the United States district attorney
and was paid out of the United States
funds for his services.
I hope, therefore, that in the fu-
ture you will refrain from furnishing
the innocent. 1t Is the duty Of a
public journal to find the guilty and
then punish to its hearts content, if
il so wills.

JUDGE FEES LETTER.


IN a spirit of fairness the East Ore
gonian today publishes an extended
communication from Judge j. A Fee,
attorney for the Byers milling COM
pany, in which he protests against at
tacks made by this paper upon the
milling company which attacks he
feels also reflect upon Mrs. w. S.
Byers.
The East Oregonian takes it that
III discussing this subject as he does
Judge Fee is acting as attorney for
the milling company and not as pri-
yate citizen. 1t is also obvious, in
view of his position with the company
that ne is scarcely a fit party to. judge
c. a controversy between this paper
and his client Nevertheless Judge
Fees views are gladly published,
With reference to Mrs. W. S: Byers,
/, should be unnecessary to state that
NJ unkind words by this paper have
ever been intended for that estimable
woman. The refinement, intelli-
gence and considerate character of
Mrs. Byers have never been brought
Into question. If Mrs. Byers has suf-
fered through attacks upon the mill
ing company the fact is deeply re-
grptted nv this paner
But the Byers milling company does
Iot appear to the East Oregonian in
the same god-like, sanctified form it
does 10 the company's lawyer. This
peper is unwilling to believe the COM
pany, or its agents, have had no part
in the persistent attempts to block
a mountain water system and also
the paving Of East Alta street. The
evidence connecting the company with
the opposition to a mountain water
system has been such as to be very
conclusive to this paper-Judge Fee
to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
East Oreconian also retains the con-
viction that the influence of the mill
ing company constituted the backbone
# the opposition to the paving of
East Alta street. Whether the com
rany has acted directly or indirectly
in these affairs matters not at all. a
s.ade is q spade regardless of what
lawyers may call it.
Neither against the Bycrs company
nor any Of its people has the East
Cregonian any animosity whatever
the criticisms made of the company
by this raper have all been based
upon the belief that the company
stands opposed to the best interest.
Of Pendleton in that it is agains
street paving and the establishment
Of a mountain water system.
If the milling company is not 81
opposed then the corporation through
its managers, attorney, agents ant
dependable friends should join tn
brigade that is working for such civil
Improvements and show by deeds a
we'll as words that it is for the better
rnent Of Pendleton. If the corpor
: alton will but do this the East Ore
: gonian will cheerfully bestow prais
: instead OF criticism. But until tn
] company does present more substan
y tial evidence of being the Christ-lik
concern Judge Fee says it is the Eas
e views-this regardless of how man
: lawyers come forth in the corpol
lation's defense.

GREAT CENTENNIAL HAS fine
PROGRAM PROVIDED FOR
EACH DAY In AUGUST.
A Little History of How Celebration of
Astors Landing in 1911 Was Carried
Out-Great Crowds Expected to Par
take of Festivities-All Kinds of En-
tertainment Provided.

Astoria, Ore.-Anthony "Achieve-
ment" Tremp, who halls from Denver,
Colo, and ran the successful food and
industrial exposition in the Auditorium
in that city, as well as many similar
expositions throughout the east and
west, including last years Manufac-
turers' exposition in Portland, points
to the Astoria Centennial pageant and
says:
"Dot IS my invention!"
And it is true.
The Astoria Centennial is Tremp's in
vention.
About the first of the year he was
called to Astoria by the Centennial
committee. They were looking fol
man capable to start something worth
while to commemorate the establish
ment of the first white settlement on
the Pacific coast. This had beer
founded in Astoria 100 years ago by
John Jacob Astor g trading expedition
Tremp boarded the train and arrived
in Astoria, where he purchased himself
a pair of boots, raincoat and started
in to create $4,000 Centennia
pageant out of mere sentiment.
This is what he has done:
Talked the members of the legisla
ture of the state of Oregon into appro
priating $4,000 for the show.
Induced the taxpayers of Clatsol
county, in which Astoria is located, tt
make a special tax levy of two and ;
half mills to bring $4,000 more int.

AT YODER DIES AT HELENA
Montana's Secretary of State Victim Of
Heart Disease.

Helena, Mont.-The sudden death

Yoder, serving his second term as sec
rotary of states, gives the democrats
virtual control of the state, as Gov
ernor Norris, democrat, will appoint
some one to fill the unexpired term,
which will change the complexion of
the state board of examiners from two
republicans and one democrat to two
democrats and one republican. This
board has absolute control of all state
institutions.
Mr.. Yoder was born in Ohio IS years
ago. He came to Montana in 1883, max
ing his home in Butte, where he has
since resided.

Meat Is High in France.

France is stirred by the appalling
advance in the price of meat and the
demand for legislation which will put
an end to it is growing insistent.
More than 100 deputies and senator's
attended a meeting called recently by
syndicates interested in the meat trade.
Resolutions were passed condemning
the new customs regulations, demand
ing return to the law of 1892, and
urging the encouragement of importa-
ton from the colonies free of duty.
The customs commission of the
chamber has now decided to listen to
delegation from the butchers syndi-
Gates, and questions are also promised
IN the senate Immediately. During the
last decade the price Of meat has been
nearly doubled. Last year $20,000,0 900
more than in 1902 was paid for the
same number of cattle at the Willette
market alone. In 1903 the duty of
foreign cattle was introduced. Besides
breeders are exporting more and more
to Germany and Switzerland. 1t is
stated that the lower classes at pres
ent do not know how to make ends
meet. What, with higher rents and
dearer food, the workmen are really
far worse off than they were before
they went in for strikes and won
steady rises in their wages.
1t is not impossible that the French
government will be before long faced
with the same problem as is that of
the United States; that of revising the
tariff downdard, particularly on the
necessities of life. 1t is urged that
for the great mass of the people the
high tariff has proven burden and
most unbearable.
