tell why Matters reached a crisis in

They were from Caillaux to his present
wife Callaux said he offered his
first wife the choice of divorce or a
reconciliation but insisted on the re.
turn OF the letters. His wife chose a
reconciliation, returned his letters
and they were burned. Caillaux de-
clared his wife swore there were no
photographs or copies or the pull
loined letters extant. The couple
again became estranged and were d.
Torced In March. 1911. In October

that one Of them was "Ton Jo" a

Editor East Oregonian:
The impression that / favor raising
water rates to consumers is entirely
wrong. No member of the commits
sion wishes to do that This is the
peoples plant. They will have to
charge themselves rates enough to
meet all expenses. My letter some
time ago was intended to inform the
people that there are not enough
funds on hand to pay for the plant.
We lack SS4, according to latest
estimates. If this is provided through
a bond sale there is no reason why
rates. should be raised. Our present
income is enough to pay interest and
operating expenses and provide a
sinking fund. / am opposed to n
raise of rates to consumers. If for
any reason We should have to in
crease our income 1 would favor n
higher charge for water used for pub
lie purposes, such as street flushing
and at the public schools and for
