0" FICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
GREETING.
We have this week purchased from
the estate of W. B. Outer, dec'd, the
Uorvallis Gazette, with all the ma
terial thereto belonging, including the
job office, and will continue the publi
cation of the Gazette as usual.
In the future, as in the past, the
Gazette will advocate the interests of
Benton County and the State of Ore
gon, and our utmost endeavors will be
nsed to make it a faithful exponent of
tlii section of the country, acting at
all times from an honest conviction of
what we believe to le right.
In politics we are Republicans, and
in all matters of this nature we will
publicly advocate what we privately be
lieve, and whenever called upon to
v rite upon that subject, will dip our
p-n in the stongest ink at our coin
r ind, but reserving to ourselves the
riifht to condemn any action of our
jrrty or party leaders that we may
dvttin to be outside of the strictest sense
at right.
We propose to conduct the business
of the office on business principles
with promptness and dispatch,

HENRY VILLARO AGAINST THE- NORTH
ERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPA
NY, AND "OTHERS,
Considering the interest felt in
this great suit by all ot our readers,
we make no apology for completing
the information given by the Vrego
nian, by publishing extracts from
the affidavits filed on the part of the
defendants, that is the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, its president
3ir. Billings, and others.
No pains have been omitted to let
every one into all the ways and
means of the Norther Paeifio re-organization
and the "watering ot
stock we have heard of until every
one must have thought Mr. Billings
and the other directors were some
sort ot pirates, detected by the pub
lic spirited Villard, in the act ot di
vision of the spoil, and then the
enormous -amount of the eighteen
millions of common slock that Mr.
Billings grabbed! How naughty! and
the policy of the two men poor Mr.
Billings doubtless meant well he
bad certainly sncceeded in digging
the Northern Paeifio out of the mire,
but then was he not narrow minded
and old fashioned? .No ideas beyond
Just the plain road of going on to
finish the Northern Pacific in accord
ance with its charter, and let Port
land and the O. R. & N. take care of
themselves. Look on this picture
and on that. Se this new collosos ot
roads, with one foot on the Union
Pacific and the other on the North
ern Pacific, aud the sweet little city
of Portland looking up at him from
below with adoration in ',her express
ive face. So enormous, so compre
hensive his plans! So gigantic his in
tellect! Terrible pity that so simple minded
a creature as Billings should cross
the purpose of this leviathan. (How
much did they tell us he weighs?)
And now the Northern Pacific is to
be completed from Tacnma through
to Portland, and then the lion and
the lamb can lie down together, and
the Northern Pacific find pasture in
the. same "emporium of commerce"
where the great and liberal O. II. &
N. hat built itself a borne.
What a pity that the earth goes
around the sun. But that must be a
mistake, for evidently the universe
twists round and (round one central
spot and that is Portland, or, where
there is the grandest location for the
commercial city of the world, and the
most splendid harbor aud the finest
wharves, and the most far-sighted
and magnanimous merchants, and the
corporation of corporations, and the
King whose name is Villard.
Now remember U is gentleman's
telegram to the Oregonion on April
1st. He says: "Our interests in the
Northern Pacific represent five times
the money value of our holdings of
O. R. & N. Company stock. The
0. R. & N. Company itself does not
own a single share of Northern Pa
cine stock.
Then here is the "blind pool" agree
ment or teceipi.
New Yorje,, Feb'y 15, 1881
Received ibis day from
the snm of thousand dollars, be
ing forty per cent, of his contrihu
tion to, and which entitles the holder
hereof to a proportionate interest in
transactions in a purchasing syndicate
to be formed, with a capital of eight
millions ot dollars, by agreement in
for the neq'iirf ion of properties, real,
pewouai and mixed, tor the purpose
of sale thereof to, or consolidation
thereof with the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, or both, cm to
serve as the basis for thn formation of
a new company. It is understood
and agreed that the undersigned
shall account to the holder hereof,
foi tin use of the money for which
this and like receipts are given, or on
before May 15th, 1861, but not soon
er, and that the holder thereof shsll
participate equally in all the profits
and benefits ot every description with
all other persons in like interest, in
proportion to said contribution. This
receipt is not transferable except on
the written consent of the undersign
ed. (Signed) Henrt Viixabd.
A "blind pool" and no mistake!
The 15th of May is close at hand; no
wonder they are hurrying on to any
sort of compromise. When that day
comes, unless a previous arrangement
is had these poolists will have to
show for their 'blindness" an Jiivesv
mentinN. P. stock, which will be
their worst rival, and a law suit
which may last for years, and which,
it they win it they can only win by
utterly damaging past reca l the very
N. P. Company in which their mon
ey is locked op. A nice position.
They ought to pray for Mr. Bil
lings long life and continued exer
tions, that he may carry them
through by supporting their invest
ment of "five times the money values
of their belongings of O. B. & N.
Company's stock.
Here follows the affidavit of R. L.
Belknap. We have the affidavits of
Geo. S. Fox, and Wm. B. Carrison,
which are in substance the same, but
too lengthy for publication:
Henry Villard,
v
The Northern Pacific R. R
et. t
City and County of New Yory, as.
Robert Lenox Belknap, of the
city of New York, being duly sworn,
says, that he it, and since September,
1879, has been, the Treasurer of the
defendant the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company; that he has read the
answer of the said defendant in this
action, verified by its president and
agent, and the statements therein con
tained relative to the issue to him of a
certificate for the shares composing
the residue of the common stock of
said company, and of the subsequent
transfers made by him are true.
That among the hooks kept in the
office of the treasurer, was a recork of
the names of the holders of proprie
tary shares or interests, so-called
which was always understood to con
tain, ana deponent believes it con
tained, a correct list of the persons
designated in the plan and agreement
of reoganization as entitled to what
was therein designated the residue
of the common stock, and the amounts
of their respective interests; and any
assignments ot such interests or por
tions thereof, were entered 5n such
record, when the evidences of such
assignments were produced; for the
purpose of keeping the company in
formed of the names and extent ot
the interesss of the persons entitled to
said residue. This record has been
kept with the knowledge and by the
direction of the Board of Directors
and certificates of said stock have
from time to time, been issued by
order of the Board of Directors or of
the Executive Committee, to the hold
ers of snch interests, as the same ap
peared upon said record. And num
erous such transfers were made long
prior to the 18th day of March, 1881.
Deponent himself with this knowl
edge and understanding as to the
rights ot the holders of such
interests and their assigns, which,
except by the plaintiff in the
com plaint in this action, he never
heard questioned by any one, had
nurchawd in open market, and be
come the owner of, some of such pro
prietary interests, so called, pay ng
m money a valuable consideration
therefor. Deponent says, that his acts
in the bremises were in perfect good
faith, and his official action was under
the direction and supervision of the
Board of directors and other officers
of the company.
Deponent further says, that some of
the shares ot common stock standing
in the name of the plaintiff himself on
on the books of the Conpany, are part
ot the said residue, and were includ
ed m the certificate issned to depon
ent on or about the 20th day of De
cember, 1879, for the holders of pro
prietary interests as stated in said an
swer, and were subsequently trans
ferred by deponent to holders ot such
proprietary interests, appearing as
such on said record, and plaintiff's ti
tie to said shares was and is derived
by assignments from and under the
hollers of said proprietary interests.
Rob't Lenox Belknap.
Sworn to before me this 6th day of
April. 1881. Wk. H. Morse,
Notary Public City & Co. of N. Y.
no St. Paul or Minneapolis on the
Mississippi. Hut from St. Jo. to New
Orleans, there were many well culti
vated bottom farms; and all these
were deenly inundated, the fencing,
houses and barns upon most of them
being swept away, and. in not' a few
instances the bottoms themselves,
with all their majestic growth of
timber, whirled into ibe current, of
the mighty flood and reinoye.d'fnrth-er
down stream. On the eastern shore"
of the Mississippi, opposite St. Lonby
and extending from a pint eighteen
to twenty miles above that :ciiyy
which then contained 40,000 itr)ta4t-.
tants, to a point far below it,, and
having an average breadth of ten
miles, stretches the American bottom
one of the largest and richest hot-"
toms in all the. Northwest '. In 1844
it contained a pros perou and ex
tensive farming community. The'
great flood of that year covered alT
these farms to a depth .sufficient'ito
allow Bmall excursion steamers to.goi
without grounding from Stf. Loll is to
the Belli ille. bluft'.- It'-wair a wick,
lake of water. The houses ftfJ
flooded to the second stories tVa
fences were carried away, and athct
growing crops utterly- .mined. Back'
water from the aiisssJiipi,.e,ictt-dwt
more than forty miles tip-the OlrV
from Cairo, and the site of Cairo, wlftft
its few wooden , tenements,. .veas ten
feet nnder water. Sparsely as th'
country was then settled, the .dam ge
to property from Cairo upwards on
the Missouri and Mississippi was. reck
oned at millions; aud from . Cairo Jt6
the Gulf at a great deal more.
So much fo.r the great flood or 18441.
And now conies news from Atchison,
Kan.,that the river at that poiut, .hv
the testimony of pioneer sett lets,., had
reached a point twenty inches higher,
than was attained in May, 1844; while
the nnws from Kansas City is of the
like startling import In addition to
this, the Mississippi at St. Paul is eor
respondingly high with the Missouri
at Atchison, and the smaller tributa
ries from Kansas, Missouri, .Wiwon-f
sin and Minnesota are all in a threat
ening stage of flood. The inference
is that an immense destruction oil
property must follow from Atchison
to St Charles an the Missouri, wit
neither overflow of the Auierieaii'bo ""
torn, involving the submergence of
east. St. Louis and a sweeping dt'vao'f
action a fortnight or three weeks irom
this date along the leveed country
liom Memphis to New Orleans, The
washing awav of all railway . Hues
that penetrate the bottom lands along
the Missouri seems inevitable,, and .it
is probable that many of the most
costly bridges which span that stream
may also lie swept away by the mass1
of floating trees that always i charac
terize a great flood in the Missouri.
The season gives present promise of
great distress to the farmers iii all the
bottom lands of Missouri,- II iuois,
Iowa Knneas and Nebraska, of-nrWti
sickness after the subsidence of h
flood, and of irregularity in the trans
portation of the mails and all
freigh tfor six weeks or iv?d . modtlt

FLOOD IN THE MISSOURI,
The great historic flood of the
Missouri and the Mssissipp i from the
month of the Missouri to the Gulf was
that of May and June, 1844. The
destruction of property above St.
Louis was not great for the reason
that there was not then much in that
teion to be destroyed. Kansas
City was a small trading post of a
few hundred inhabitants and from
St Joseph upwards the Indians held
everything. There waa no Atchison.

Editor Gazette. I notice an edi
torial in your paper of last week in
reference to the Albany Convention,
held on the 21st nit., which calls for
an explanation. There is some part
of the editorial that is evidently in
tended for a slur which I pass without
further notice, because the improve-;
ment at the entrance of Yaquina Bay
ami the building of a railroad to that
place is a matter of too much tntport
ance for a slur, and proceed ; to solid
facts. I went down to Albany th
2 1st nit, for the purpose of advising
the farmers who were present at the
meeting, to make no contribution in
money to the said works for the U.
