10 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, TORTLAXD, AUGUST 6, 1911. MORSON CHARGES WEST S INSINCERE President' of Land Company Would Prove Statements Before Governor. SAYS FACTS SUPPRESSED Though Controversy IVct r"n Mate's Executive and IJu.lnr Man Not Prcnird of ImporHnre lo Pub lic, Latter Voices Sentiment. PORTLAND. Or.. Auk. 5.-To tha Edl tor.) In The Morning Oregonian of Aug ust I appears an editorial relative to controversy between Governor West and myself. Prior to the date of thla edl torlal there appeared lo the several newspapers of this city alleged Inter views of the Governor. The statement contained In these Interviews were. In the main, false, false at least to the extent of the suppression of the facts Nor do I now- deem It necessary to make a. direct reply to the Governor. A con troveisv between Governor West and my self I do not consider of sufficient Im Dortanre to the public to warrant news paper dlcus!on. However. In order that the public may be In a position to Judge of the merit of the controversy, und of the honesty of purpose of -Governor West. I subml the following statement of facts, and when I say farts. I mea- statementa that can be proved either by document ary evidence or by witnesses, and If the worthy Governor Insists upon the production of the corroboration of the statements. I . shall tx very pleased to present them for Inspection. The Deschutes Land Company haa ob tained from the Stale of Oregon a con tract to reclaim ome Sl.tM) acres of land In the southern Deschutes Valley, situ ated In Crook and Klamath counties. Ky the terms of our contract work was to have been begun on tne 1st or April, 1S1. and reclamation to be completed by Aorll. 1911. a period of four years. This contract Is obtained hy virtue of an act of the Legislature of Thla act haa since been repealed and another act sub stituted, but bear In mind two facts: First, that our contract Is controlled and Interoreted bv the act of 12W1. and second tr.at the act of 1501 did not require of us that we furnish any bond or other security to the State of Oregon guaran teeing the completion of these works. This fact has an Important bearing upon this controversy, as I shall afterwasds show. Iintlo Taken I'niler Carry Al. The lands being reclaimed by us w app'led for to the Federal Government l: May. IC under an art popularly known as the "arev art. The rlassiflr tion of these lands formed a subject of murh difference of opinion at Washing inn. Three examinations by agents of the Interior Department were had In ths flelJ to determine their rhararter. This ... under Pe-retarr Hitchcock. The rnirnant did everything possible to ex oedite matters and to obtain for tiie Plate of Oregon these lands as desert ,h. ihn State of Orrr.n wished to rUlm itiem as desert lands under the Carer act. the then Chief Forester, rtn- -t,t -.ime.t them as-timber lands nl -... .4 in ... them f.-r the purpose of pro-gstlrg pine tree! It I therefore, spp'arent that the views of the different persons Interested are very, very di vergent. Finally. In 1'.. and after I myself had spent In tho vicinity of eight months) at Washington attempting to straighten this matter, and. after the Deschutes 1-and Company. h.id expended some 121. O .. a contract was entered Into between the State of Oregon and the Federal Government. In the meantime Mr. Gar ne'.d had succeeded as Secretary of the Interior, and then took upon himself, notwithstanding we had a contract between the State of Oregon and the Federal Government. to re classify these lands. holding" that Secretary Hitchcock's classincttlon was Improper. Mr. Chsmberlaln. then Gov ernor of thla atate. held Informally that the Secretary had a right to re classify these Imnds and review the work of the former Secretary. This view waa also held by John H. Lewis. From these two gentlemen I differed, and asked permission to hare the casa tried. Permission granted, tha casa was tried, and Mr. Pierce. First Aa alstant Secretary of tha Interior, ren dered a decision sustaining tha State cf Oregon. These lands are now be yond recall. If the State of Oregon carry out lt contract with the Federal Government. It was January 10. 110. before the legal obstacles thrown In our way by the Interior Department and from other sources were removed to the extent of enabling this company to know for a certainty that Its security waa undoubt ed If It reclaimed the lands. Ninety iays later tbe Deschutes Land Com pany was upon the ground with Its machinery, and haa been there ever since, a little more than one year ago: and yet Governor West talks with an unwarranted flippancy about thla com pany having constructed only three miles of canal In seven years. Thla company was operating In a district 150 miles from a railroad, and during the season of 110. at an expense of 1H to a cents a pound, teamed nearly 200. 000 pounds of machinery Into the coun try to enable It to do Its work. Different- of Opinion Expressed. la the Evening Telegram of the 4th. Mr. Kay. State Treasurer and a mem ber of the Desert Land Board, says that difference of opinion exists aa to whether or not the Deschutea Land Company has the right to offer as se curity for the money It receives Its equity In these lands. This haa been a subject of much discussion before the Board, and I have' alwaya contended that If the matter were of sufficient Importance to the Board, aa It seemed to be. It would have accepted my sug gestion that the Attorney-General take )eSal action to determine whether or not the eecurity we were offering to the Investing public was la violation of our contract with the State of Ore gon. We have been selling these se curities since December ef !. Why during this entire time haa no action been taken? On one occasion I offered to defray the legal expenses of the Board. In this way the Board apd myself would be placed at rest upon this point. By tbe urmi of our contract we have a fight to bond for the aum of about 1J.00. The Irrigation bond In thla country Is a thing of the past. We Issued another form of security, by which the Investor had hla security In a specific tract of land. His security has no relevancy to-the adjoining tract of land. He was not an atom of the whole; he was the whole. Hla security waa sufficient and complete. Thla form of security met ready response front the Investing public, such a response that today we have of these securities sold sufficient to guarantee the completion of our works. Tbse securities were sold not only to the worklngman. but to farm ers and professional men, and even 40 shrewd lawyers after a careful In vestigation of the legal end of the se curity and also after an Investigation of this company. Its officers and Its financial standing as ascertained through the commercial agencies, Dunn's and Bradstreet's. These securities have been purchased' In amounts ranging from $500 to $1S. 000.. They pass as commercial securi ties. They chsnge hands. Transfers are frequently made, and I know of no case where these securities have not appreciated in value, each transfer of security bringing profit to the Investor, and I shall be Indebted : to Governor West or any member of the Desert I.and Board If he can Inform me of any case wnere these securities have been sold at a loss. If the company was selling securities, receiving money therefor, and doing no work, the Insert Land Board might mi rigui 10 asg us ror an ac-J counting or this money. They would not have the right, as a matter of fact. With the Investing public the Board had nothing whatever to do. Mr. Kav. a member of the Board, who Inspected our works on July lo last. In an Inter view in the Evening Telegram of the 4th. saya that the Desert Ij.nH Rmrd has no legal right to demand of this company the Information It haa de manded. He farther says, our work: regarding "They are running three large ma chines, working both day and night shifts, removing dirt very rapidly, and they have expended a large sura of money, having many houses and barns, sawmills, etc.i and are dninr rnnH work." Nor made Board has there ever been a charge against this company to the or otherwise that money Is being misapplied or misappropriated? 'o Moral Ne-e.lt j As-rlod. If the Board haa no legal right. It certainly has no moral right, for from Mr. Kay'a own assertion there Is no moral necessity, as a matter of fact. Mr. Ec-ttr and when I say fact, I mean a statement that can be corrob orated by this company's financial books we are torhave water upon 6000 acres of ground given as security for the Spring crop of 1912. We are te have water upon '3000 acres of ground for the Spring crop of IMS. By the close of November of this year this company will have ' the main canals constructed from which to supply water for not only 6000 acres of ground but for about 10.000 acres of ground. In other words.- several months before the required time the company will have water on the SOou acres of ground, and It Is IS months In advance In supplying water to the remaining S000 acres of ground (to be supplied In IMS). Not only so. but by tbe comnletlon of an additional eight miles of main canal, water may be supplied to an additional 8000 acres of ground, and which eight miles of canal may readily be constructed by us before the Irriga tion season of 1M2 opens. Our ma chines have a capacity, working day and night aa we work them, of over ouo cubic yards, of earth per 24 hours. and there la not a contracting companv In the Northwest that haa an outfit capable of doing this. This means from to 1 i miles of .our canal per week. It Is therefore apparent that there Is no moral necessity, as I have already potnted out. for the Desert Land Board to make an undue Interference, aa I term it. In the Interest of Investors wl'h whom they have nothing to do. and especially so when the Investors, as such, have never asked for- Its Inter ference. Of the several hundred security holders, but three have at any tl:n made complaint to the Desert Lar Hoard, and these complaints were i the main under misapprehension, sr one of these complainants, after seelr our lands, and knowing more about c negbtlates for loco acres of these ie curltles. What has Governor West ! say to tms? The Governor creates the Impresslr that be Is championing the cause settlers. This Is cheep politics. The are only four settlers upon our lar at this time and they have not ask for Governor West's Influence nor s hey to receive water until lilt wish the Desert Land Bo.-rd or nth nfluence would take some means Induce settlers to come upon our lanr build homes and open up the ceunti We are doing our part to Induce the. We have erected a sawmill. We ha cut the price of lumber about 40 im cent In order that they may come t our valley and build homes. Kvery- thtng that we can do, not only to re claim our ground but to cause It to be settled, we are going, although In causing It to be settled we are acting not as contractors but simply as cltl- sens of the State of Oregon. tlrmanil of Governor Worries. The fact that other companies per mit settlers to occupy lands which they neglect to supply with water la neither legal nor moral reason why we who have no aettlera overdue, but who have met and more than met the obligations Imposed upon us. should be coerced Into giving what the law does not re quire us to give. Governor West's first demand waa - not for a atatement of assets and liabilities or receipts and expenditures upon our property. Jlis first demand was. "Who bought your securities?" and "What Is his postoffice address?" I wonder If-this statement haa any relevancy to the voters' list of he State of Oregon. I here and now hallenge Governor west with Insin cerity when he alleges that he wishes to protect settlers. How was this in formation to protect settlers? Later, Governor West asked for a full finan cial statement, and he received a full Inanclal statement, and I wish tbe reader to note thla. He received a statement In February of 1111, show ing: First Tbe number of certificates sold by ua. . Second The name of purchaser. Third The -purchaser's address. Fourth The face value of the cer tificate. Fifth The amount paid to date on each certificate. Sixth The -monthly payment on each certificate. Seventh The number of acrea cov ered by the certificates. Eighth The total amount received on all securities. Ninth Tbe amount expended on reclamation to date. Tenth Monthly bank balances since certificates were placed on sale. And which statement showed ex penditures In excess of receipts for se curities and also that at the date of making this report there was to our redlt In the banks of this city a sum in the vicinity of t J 0.0 00. I am writing rom memory. Not only so. but Governor West asked permission to have his auditor audit our books. Permission waa granted to Governor West, and his udltor did audit our books and . re ported them vry satisfactory. Hav ing read my full report to the Board. I refused to give' the financial atatement on paper to the Board until I bad first obtained from the other members of he Board their verbal promise that the document would not be considered a public document. Frankly, I would not accept .Governor West's promise. baa no raun in mm then; I have no faith In him now. Mr. Kay. In hla Interview. -says that Governor West and I spilt over the uestlon of supplying the names and ddressea of our security-holders. True. very seriously objected to supplying hem. surmising thst some of them at least might not want their names given LUCKIAMUTE V --'" v0i"'''X " . ' r' V- """wr 'jji 40'0" Vj..

Its headwaters start at the summit of the Coast Range about 12 miles west of Falls City, at an elevation of 4000 feet and drops to 383 feet elevation in this city. It flows through a dense forest of fir, many portions of which have never been traversed by man. Aa a trout stream it has few equals. Fishing and outing parties visit Its numerous beauty spots during the Summer. Bears, deer and other wild animals are frequently encountered In the Jungles lining this mountain a,tream. In this manner, and my surmise haa alnce been confirmed by the fact that I Investors have called at our office and ; asked that they be not made known as Investors. In addition thereto, from the original questions asked me by Governor West I surmised that he waa gathering unto himself a club with which to beat me over the head. Not withstanding my objection, as stated, I did supply this Information, and after supplying the Information. Governor West then demanded that I furnish a $100,000 cash fund to guarantee the completion of thla work, notwithstand ing the fart that neither the statute under which we operated nor our con tract required such guarantee. This was the cause of the spilt. And further. In view of the fact that some time before this the board had asked me to furnish a bond In the aum of S30.0O0, guarantee ing the completion of the work. This bond I readily furnished. I would have furnished a bond for SIOO.OUO. as readily as 230.000. the amount asked. I hold from thla Board, under Its seal, a certificate to the fact that the bona Is good and that It Is sufficient for the purpose In tended. Then, this being so, I deem Gov ernor West's Interference has been ab solutely absurd, made without warrant either In law or In morality. West Not Sustained. The Board did not sustain Governor West In this request, and. true to his characteristics, he flew Into a passion, practically hurled my financial atatement In my face, and In a very undignified manner withdrew from the Board meet ing. I then said, and I now say, thst Governor West will never again from me receive this financial statement. H will never from me receive the names and the postoffice addresses sof our In vestors. Who our Investors are Is none of his burlness. Until an Investor be comes a srttler. Governor West had bet ter keep his hands off. Falling In the Governor's attempt to coerce me Into again giving this Infor mation, on the 2Hh. of June, 1911. he and Secretary Olrott. a majority of a quorum of the Board, wrote me a letter. The letter was not written -to the Deschutes Land Company: It was addressed to me. In this letter he ssys If the Information desired la not "furnished to the Board on or before Monday, July 2, 1911. and alo unlesa on or before that date satis factory arrangements are made with the Board for the establishment of a suitable trust fund as a guarantee of the comple tlonN of the project, the Board will take the matter up with the postal authori ties and request that your company be denied the ure of the malls." This Is a cowardly, blackmailing letter. He here threatens. In order that he may obtain thereby that which he welt knows he cannot obtain In law or equity. The legal aspect of this letter haa yet RIVER ONE OF MOST ATTRACTIVE IN OREGOr V . Sfr .ievfv,-. p&K.-!m--.-p-- .?jfaw5f to be determined. Our outgoing mall and our literature is clean and truthful, and the only Indecent incoming mall received by me Is that inspired by Gov ernor West. He further says that the Secretary of the .Interlolr threatened to stop our mall. This statement Is the statement" of a malicious coward. The then Secretary of the Interior.

As soon, however, as I Informed him, through Governor West, of a certain contract between the department and this compajxy, the de partment promptly made apology for its letter and asked that a copy of that apology be forwarded to me. It was, and the matter there ended. However, to meet the desire of the, de partment. I withdrew from our literature the contents of this same agreement, notwithstanding the fact that the' text of tfie agreement Itself was published In full In the report' oft the Oregon State Engineer for 1910-11. When Governor West, by making the assertion he did, as alleged, attempted to convey to the. public that our literature was not truth ful. It simply shows the innate rotten- ness of the heart of the man with whom I have to deal. Not only eo, but the Governor, In replying to the Secretary of the Interior. Informed him that the affairs of the Deschutes Land Company were being conducted in a business-like manner. " What has he today to say of this an swer? Governor West's blackmailing letter was rescinded by the majority of the Desert Land Board. After this act I assured these members that I would be very glad to furnish them with all desired Information possible for me to give, but the action of the majority of the Board in rescinding Governor West's letter so enraged the Governor that after abusing me In language more becoming a Boston fish-peddler than a Governor of the State of Oregon,' he left the room, and on the first opportunity locked the doors and excluded us from his room: Noble Governor! A worthy example to the rising generation. The financial books of this company are open to Inspection of the editor of any reputable newspaper In this state, to the auditor of The Ofegonlan, to any of our Investors, and to the sane mem- ' bers of the Desert Land Board, but to Governor West, never. Never again will he have an opportunity of throwing a financial Statement furnished by me Into I'my face. And. In conclusion, let me say that If Governor west thinks he can drive this company into bankruptcy, to' use his own elegant expression, let him "go to It." If he wants' to get Into a monkey and parrot fight, he will find, probably, when he shall have gotten through, aa did the parrot, that "he talks too much." J. E.

' JUDGE TAZWELL CAUSTIC In Addition to Imprisonment, Frask Slays Must Pa Fine of $250 for Permitting Frank Skldmore to Squander Coin In Brink. Sentence of imprisonment upon Frank Mays, saloonkeeper, for selling litjuor to a drunken man, denunciation tav Judare Tazwell of the police aeparv ment for Its inactivity in arresting like offenders, and a renewal of the court's nnin .o-ninst the evil, were brought about In Municipal Court yes terday through the pluck and deter mination of Mrs. Frank Skldmore, who, ...imr the savings of her drunk en husband squandered over Mays' bar to the amount of many hundreds of dollars, made her complaint, gainereu the testimony ' and pressed the prose cution, in' the teeth of the police. In one of the most bitter denuncia tions ever pronounced from the Mu nicipal bench. Judge Tazwell sentenced the saloonman to pay a fine of $250 and to Imprisonment for six months. He withheld sentence upon a second charge. . . "It Is such men . as you that are hastening the day when prohibition will sweep this state," said the court. "It seems incredible that the police have not arrested you In the six months you have run this place' Judge Tazwell Impressed. When Judge Tazwell first took the place made vacant by the death of Judge Bennett, the long daily string of "simple drunks" shocked him so much that he took steps to reduce their number by proceeding against the men .who sold them the excess liquor. He secured the co-operation of Chief Cox and an order was issued to pa trolmen to be vigilant along this line. A few arrests were made and exem plary punishment was Imposed. Then the campaign died out, and for many months no saloonkeeper has been prosecuted, though In many places, at any . hour of the day, men can be seen holding onto the bar and pouring out more liquor. The present situation came through the perseverance of Mrs. Skldmore, who tardily discovered that her husband was carrying on a prolonged debauch, principally at Mays' saloon on Stark street, between Sixth and. Seventh streets, where his checks to the amount of over $300 were clashed within 4 hours. The woman made several prp tests to Mays and secured his promise that her husband would be furnished with no more liquor, but the promise was not kept until after a warrant had been issued. f Sirens Saloon's Ally. Sirens in rooms above the saloon took .what Mays could not get, asserts the complaint, and between them, with the occasional assistance of other sa loons, Skldmore was relieved of about $1500. The fact was discovered by Mrs. Skldmore through Inquiry at the bank, where she saw Skldmore's can celled checksf many of them Indorsed to Mays. Joe Morrison, keeper of a saloon at 40 North Sixth street, -has also been arrested upon complaint of Mrs. Skld more. and It Is probable that others who assisted In stripping -tskldmore will be complained against. Morrison warned by the severity of the court upon Mays, has demanded a trial by Jury. In passing sentence, Judge Tazwell said: 'Yesterday you were by the court found guilty on two separate charges of selling Intoxicating liquors to a drunken person. At the conclusion of the trial my Impression was that the maximum penalty on at least one of the charges should be Imposed upon you. After carefully considering since then the 'testimony offered. Including your own, I am convinced that my Im pression then formed was correct. Promise Secured by Woman. The testimony discloses the fact that for a long time you have been selling intoxicating liquors to Skld more while he was In a drunken con dition. It also discloses that the wife of Skldmore went to you on differ ent occasions and pleaded with you to refrain from further selling liquor to her husband. You promised her that you would accede to her request, but you never did until after this proceeding- had been Instituted. "It is such men as . you that compel wives to come to me almost dally to ascertain If there-is not some way to protect them from the brutal acts of their husbands, committed while Intox icated, and it Is the actions' of such men as you that are bringing odium on the liquor business and hastening the day when prohibition will sweep this state. "The fact that you have been In the liquor business for at least 15 years and-during all that time have never been arrested for a violation of any ordinance; In my opinion, should af ford no mitigating circumstances In the case at bar. No police officer In stituted this action, and if It had not been for Mrs. Skldmore and her be ginning this proceeding, after all her entreaties with you had been of no avail, you would not now be in this court. "The police, for some reason, have not cared to molest yoii. In your ne farious business, although the offerfses were committed within four blocks of the City Jail. It seems almost incred ible that during the six months that you have conducted your present sa loon, some officer has not arrested you for violating the liquor ordinance. From the number of neraons cnmlns- into this court on charges of drunken- . ness, I am convinced that this ordij nance is violated with Impunity by many liquor dealers. "The offenses with which you have been charged are so aggravated and so clearly proved that I do not regard a fine as sufficient punishment there for. On the first charge the court im poses a fine or $250 and sentences you to serve a term of six months in' the City Jail. The sentence on the second charge will be suspended, for the time being."

A bench warrant was issued by Jus tice Bell yesterday for the apprehen sion of Mrs. Elizabeth Scheiderhahn, complaining witness against E- O. Lls- cum. and .G. W. Harrington, charged with manslaughter of Mrs. Soheider- hahn's child by committing an unlaw ful operation. The action was taken upon the representation of Deputy Dis trict Attorney Page that the woman was an unwilling witness and might not appear. Her bond was fixed at $1000. The two men are in the coun ty Jail, unable to furnish bond of $5000. Dr. Stanley L. Lucas, who attended the woman after the operation was performed, was careful to secure from her a written statement which cleared him from the charge of performing the operation, but this document, instead of operating as a protection, may work' to the physician's hurt, as the District Attorney has threatened to proceed against him for not reporting the fact when he discovered that a crime had been committed. It is probable that the case will be made a test. In order to warn other physicians who cover up cases of malpractice, under a mistaken idea of ethics. MAN INJURED IN MANGLE Ti.
