En. Rkoibtkh : Noticing a statement In the Orvpon Granger of April tot. 1875. from 8. D. Adair, J now set down to the painful task of answering it painful because the statement contains nothing of trnth to answer, and it l a hard matter to answer an article of unquali- nea nuseiuiods. I promise to spare no personal ttiea, only snytng I am responsible for the matter contained In this article. The first grain belonging to Parker Morris was received on the Stittt of November and taken out the 8th day of December, 1874, is Mr. Adair's first statement. Now this is mlse,as to grain lying the time he states. Mr. Adair for gets that we commenced to load this grain on Tuesday, December Sth, taking on 100 tons. and oo the SSrth and 80th taking on Sift tons. maamg in tons out or Ml tons, teavlngSMtona over one month. r. Adair claims that there were 411 tons, while the troth is there was hut S14 tons.' I will nay so the public may see dear ly, we were working on this last SH tons when the barge landed alongside the warehouse. Here was the trouble: Mr. Adair refused to land the barge alongside the Middlesex; as It was my grain, I demanded that it should be landed alongside the Middlesex, but the demand was refused and here comes in the 4 tons. Adairsayshedidnot charge anything for pass ing It through the warehouse; bnt remember he forced this grain into his warehouse, and would have taken the entire barge load had 1 not have been present to forbid it, at a cost of Sc a ton, nestdes causing us to pay l"c per ton truck age on the entire amonnt, making a bill of 327 03 In favor of Adair to be paid by shippers. Parker A Morris. Thin is a true statement thns thr. Now I say there was only 330 tons of freight but what was forced into the warehouse by 8. D. Adair. There should have been 700 tons paid for, which I agreed to pay for, and did pay according to written contract, which was Xie per ton, amounting to just 175, 1 pay ing $61. besides doing 90 worth of work, mak ing 20 more than he says in his article; then I paid 96 for trucking said grain to ship. So it will be seen I paid out on that 530 tons of grain ftSi. This is the amount that we, Parker ft Morris, were out. Mr. Adair's bill run thus 409 storage, 61 piling. 96 trucking, 9c a pound from Albany to Portland, 3c from Portland to Astoria, twine 5oe this last being to mend sacks that they bu rated. The amount I would have had to pay had I signed the bill to get this 1400 tons from the warehouse, while only one- half of it passed through the house by virtue of contract, was RJ10. This bill I did not sign be cause It wu not the bill contracted for. The Just bill was 558, making 553 of unjust bill which I say I offered to sign, under protest. offering to secure the pay by allowing them to hold the bills of lading ; but they would do nothing. ' There was 180 tons of freight In the lot sent by the Ohio, and they had no orders for any money from Captain Scott. Did they have any right to hold Captain Scott's grain without an order from him? I suppose Captain Scott was perfectly willing to take us, Parker ft Morris, for his boat-load of freight, and 1 doubt whether the Ohio man told them any ting about de taining our grain. He can say how It is, as I consider Mr. Scott a gentleman, and wish could say so by those other parties. Now I have waybills for 830 tons of freight from Parker ft Morris' warehouse, Albany, reading thus : "Received on hoard Willamette Chief, to be delivered side of Middlesex.' This, gentle reader, is 130 tons of Mr. Adair's grain ; 46 tons he run from barge makes the amonnt Mr. Adair claimed on. Now bear in mind we had a contract, written, to pay for this grain when sold. Now should Mr. Adair have the right to run this grain info Farmer's Ware house and lock It up? Had be any right to the grain at all a I say he had no right, and would, if It was to do over again, buy the amount they had locked up, and then bring suit to recover damages, as they were great. , One word more and t am done with this part of his subject. We would not have had any grain over the 1st day of June in their house, had they not have stopped work. Mr. Pearson Is here to bear me out that everything was in running order, and Mr. Cherry, Secretary, ordered us to stop loading after we got the 48 tons on. And I will here say, I believe it was done to get extra pay on the grain am fully satisfied it is so. Never knew what waa the cause of the stoppage of loading the Middlesex until this communication came to light. Will Mr. Adair please tell us why he ordered Mr. Cherry to stop all hands as soon as the 4B tons were on board? This is a true statement, and Mr. Adair, If he desires, can have plenty of proof. Now you have 630 tons, and no more. Each and every bushel above this amount was forced into this warehouse agulnstlaw, contracts, and every thing else, and every statement of Mr. Adair's is baaed upon falsehoods, and he knows it. Mr. Adair says : "Sow aa to comparison of loading at Portland or Astoria, Observer .(that is A. B. Morris). makes a most ridiculous statement. He not only seta forth the charge at Astoria, but pre sume, to get his wharfage and weighing done in Portland for nothing.'' Now I say here Is another of Adair's misstate ments, for I never paid one oent at Astoria for weighing grain, outside of their warehouse never paid on oent at Portland for weighing grain, nor one eent storage on grain, without I kept 11 over 30 days. " Mr. Adair is not posted: there is not another house with the saine rule Mr. Adair baa. Even Mr. Goldsmith did not charge us storage at Portland. The rulea of the Holiday Una were to take freight at that time for cents per bushel, delivering to the vessel front boats or cars there is no extras about it. Mr. Adair ought to know that when a ship is chartered at Portland the shipper does not pay towage. He does know It. Mr. Adair says he should have bad pay on L400 tons. Now why does he drop off 800 tons, tor there were 1,700 tons? The facta are, Mr. Adatr, you do not un derstand your business. Doe the shipper pay for towing veaseles over the Columbia bar to Astoria? Too will say no. So say I. Neither do they pay towage up or down tb Columbia river. If I charter at Portland. I pay nothing; If I charter at Astoria, I pay s cents more freight ; then if I pass through your warehouse I'pay yon cent per ton ; then I pay 17 oent per ton for i rucking this la an extra, But to the public: i hope yon will take warning, aad if yon desire to load your wheat at Astoria, have it landed by the aide of your ship, for in 330 tons run through the-Farmers Warehouse, we had OS sacks of cracked wheat ; of 680 tons landed from barge over side of ship, only 13 sacks of cracked wheat. Ton will bear In mind chicken feed will not sell for asmuch, at As toria, as good clean wheat, and yon win also bear in mind it casta extra every Urn you handle your wheat. . Adair says Observer is not an authorised agent of onr Company, and consequently has no right to establish rates ibrna. Now I am no aatBOrized agent, neither would I be ; bat, &u ALBANY, OREGON, APRIL mers. yon must all make rates for yourselves ; dont allow Mr. Adair to establish rates with out roar consent- The copy of the letter Is cor rect, and will say Mr. Cherry is a gentleman I esteem. As he was acting under orders, and aa I know how he is situated, I will not bring him Into . this controversy. , Mr. Cherrv read tha order given him, to ma ; bnt ha was ordered to make out those bills, aa I have stated In the above written article, and consequent ly ootild nocenange anything. If Mr. Cherry or Cantain Gray either had had charge ot the business, I wouiu iirv. got my gram Hut Mr. Adair slipped oft to Portland to learn front the higher power whether he must actually keen thia grain or not. Adair says : "One word more and I have done Observer -make, several statements in refer ence to me. He states that the thinner mm. r. Friday, and that the stevedore and tnvmif agreed that he should comtnenoe the following morning at half past 7 oUodt to load. There was no such agreement mad ; oa the contrary, I did not seethe shipper or stevedore that eve- mg toapoa to them at all." Now, I wfa simply say.snd hold myself accoamtabi for mv at.. naMit, that Mr Adair has basely falxi fled and misrepresented this matter, becatwe T did speax to nr. Adair before I got off of the boat; shook hands with him : seen Mr. HSitri shook hands with" hlin ; also Mr. Monn, 1st Mate of the Middlesex, and do declare before this reading publio that we all were together and made arrangements to commence to load Saturday morning at half past 7 o'clock. This I most solemnly call upon God to witness, aad as soon as the Middlesex arlves in England. I can get evidence to corroborate my statement. Here Is more evidence, from a man that would rather not be heard from, but, rather ir. xi i ne puoiic oeueve a lie, has sent the following statement: . xr3VirLKr0r- h March, 1875.

Yours truly, JAMKfcG. FARFOUL, Stevedore ship Middlesex Mr. Farfbul is a man of note, and has spoken but the truth, and Is far ahead of Adair In my estimation for truth and veracity. low. Sammy, was Morris falnely misrepresenting you, or Is Adair misrepresenting Morris, or Observer "? I think I would bate to make as sertions and mil to prove them. He says "Observer lays an blame on the Astoria ware house company, and makes misstatements to attain that end, which makes. It evident to my mma tnat tne object of the, article is to malici ously mislead the farmers of the country in or der to gratify personal spite against the ware bouse company.' To this I will say, that any man who will give his word, as Mr. B. Gold smith did, anal then write an order apon this word, is no better than Mr. Adair; for Mr. Adair gave his word to load, and went to Port land to get rid of It. So I wonld not believe either gentleman in a public communication. where their purse waa Interested. As for my- seir, i ask nothing of Mr. G. or Mr. Adair, ettber.nor would 1 take their word for any thing, for tbey have both violated confidence with me. Ana now one word and I am done. I was at Mr. Arrigonl's the night tn controversy, and never left the house, and Cant. Gray told me he bad looked for me but did not find me. Now I was easily found. If they were anxious to see me. I was at no saloon or ball-room, but was In Mr. ArrigonH's best furnished rooms or la dies' parlor, with families of my acquaintance who came down from Portland when I did; and we spent the evening most plesantly there. Now to the public: These communications have of necessity been lengthy, but they are of great importance to this farming community, uon-i oe lea astray, for they will bite yon, am a farmer in your midst ; have raised St crops of your cereal, and feel deeply Interested In your Interests. Xnowlngthat each Individ ual is sapping yonr vitals from you, it stands pre-eminently your duty to look to your own interests. Ism known amongst you, as far as I know, as well as Mr. Goldsmith or S. A. Adair, and I have written this lengthy article in self defence. As I have been attacked with bombshells I consider I have a right to cast a few cannon balls Into their camp. Now I am done ; perhaps this will be my last communica tion, and, I will say I am sorry to have such a communication to come to the eyes of a read ing community, but I could not mnko the road any smoother, and so submit the statement to the public, hoping yon will carefully examine our articles and decide for yourselves which nas made misstatements. I remain Tour humble servf. A. B. MORRIS. P AaTAG RAX LETA. Onr old friend Hughes knocks the socks ofrn anybody making sweet cider. f Messrs. S. K. Young and 5J".

Marshall, who lives a short distance from this city, has no reason to complain of want of success in the stock business. In fact be has been rather fortu nate above his neighbors, or at least would be so considered almost anywhere else than IB Linn county. Ilecetitly two of his mares foaled four colts, from the celebrated "White Prince," and another mare to hear from. This little "episode" seems to have excited the ambition of his sheep, for five ewes in his band 44 put up " eleven lambs, the balance of the baud to hear from!

The new machinery recently e- enrea by these gentle men, wasi tn place. ready to turn out work In .any- reqrripod quantity. The new water-wheel works to a charm, furnishing all the power required.
