expenses if he did attend. Mr.. Brown
is real estate dealer, and he wen
to Spokane and in violation of every
rule of justice, he used the oppOrtunit,
to boost his personal business, and tolt
at least one visitor, when he though
nobody would hear of it, that the en-
tire exhibit was from Kendrick.. He
knocked the rest of the county; he
stole all the honors from Juliaetta
claiming the monster pumpkins and
the squash that were not from Ken
drick He claimed corn that was not
raised in Kendrick, and he knew he
was lying When he did so. He insist
ed on labelling the entire exhibit from
Kendrick, and grew angry when we
would not permit him to nail up the
Kendrick banner across the back of
the Latah county booth.
But as to the expense. We invite
this man Brown to give an itemized
Ultimately connected with the Latah
county exhibit paid by him. He can
not show one penny. He did not pay
the drayage; he did not pay the
freight; he did not pay any of the
printing; he did not pay for any of the
banners or signs; he did not pay for
any of the incidentials; he did not
pay penny from start to finish, for
anything connected with the Latah
county exhibit
On the other hand he did get more
than he was entitled to. He was paid
SIS, and we have a check with his en-
dorsement on the back, showing that
he received this fifteen dollars as his
share of the special premiums. He
was paid some three dollars more than
his premiums called for, and this is
allowing him one premium, that on |
popcorn, that he did not win. 1t is |
allowing him the premium money won |
by the Juliaetta pumpkins, or in all,
about twice as much as he was entitled |
to-
Paying all the expense of the exhibit
was it not fair that the $50 special
premium be applied on the expense?
This money was credited on the ex
pense account, and was used to pay
freight, printing, drayage, and other
legitimate costs.
Now let us be fair. Let Mr.. Brown
come through with his half of the ex
)ense, and take his half of that $50.
George Fields, editor of the Idaho Post,
S no doubt pleased to give space to
he article, although he knows it is i
lot true, for he has made every posi- {
lie effort to injure us. He has charg Il
ID us with stealing money and then, as
he records will show, personally NOV t
ID the adoption of the identical report I
made by us. 6
1t is to be regretted that a Moscow a
aper should, without justification
i've publicity to statements that can IA
My tend to injure the town and the i
ounty. 1t is too bad that a newspa- \
er in Moscow should do all in it's e
over to stir up trouble and useless h
iscussion. 1t would at least seem i
nat in the interest of harmony, mat r
ers of this nature, which are in reality b
charge against the Moscow Chamber l.
Commerce, should be, without any s
hurry to anyone, brought before the y
hamber of Commerce where full III D
would enable the citizens N
Moscow to right any wrong done il
endrick or Mr.. Brown. If P. l.. Or il
Itt injured Mr. Brown, or did not W
we Kendrick a. square deal, suitable ty
,tiOn could be taken and the blame Ct
aced where it belongs.
The StarMirror has, in the interest l.
Latah county, tried to do its duty. NJ
he editor of this paper has suf- il
red abuse and SANDER in silence with l.
e hope that all the papers in the M
unity would find it more agreeable TO ST
and profitable to the poo- CT
e to exert their energy in boosting. F;
lis policy has not appealed to the Bt
aho Post, nor to the Troy News, and
, find George Fields and A. H. Over gu
nth inviting in a campaign of per- tn
nal abuse against the editor of this ex
per. And for what?
