OF. VITAL IMPORTANCE.
XT.S. Engineer Office,
April ioth, 1895.
Ett Yaquina Post, Toledo, Oregon
DarSir: Will you please give proper
notice to the fact that the Yaquina Bay
Board of U. S. Engineers, Col. Stickey,
president, will hold a public session at
Newport, Yaquina Bay, Oregon, May II,
1895, at which they will hear the views
of those interested in the public improve
ment of Yaquina Bay ?
Very Respectfully,
J. G. Holcomb,
Ass't Engineer.
The paper of Marion, Linn, Lane,
Pxlk, Benton and Lincoln counties par
ticularly, should take a deep interest in
the matter expressed in the above notice.
The engineers should be impressed with
the importance of the Yaquina bay to a
rastand fertile territory. This should
sot be left to the people of Lincoln coun
ty alone. , Upon the view this board of
engineers shall take of the feasibility of
farther improvements to the Yaquina bar
will depend future national aid for the
iarbor for years to come. This is a vital
affair for the people of the Willamette
valley. Proper interjst should be aroused
nd our leading citizens interested so that
they will make it a personal matter to
see that the board of engineers are given
all favorable and necessary information.
The populistic apostle of Job's addi
tion scolds the Gazette through the col
umns of the Times, for refusing to pub
lish a letter that is a part of his commu
nication to the latter paper. And therein
he condemns himself. Our principal
defense against the accusation of unfair
ness is: It is a conglomeration of populis
tic hobbies. If our populist frieuds wish
to air their hobbies let them run a paper
of their own. If they can get some good
democratic brother to stand in, all well
and good, but they must not expect a
republican paper to lower the tone of its
columns by publishing their several va
po rings on their many vagaries. Brother
Hoffman imagines he has a call to the
journalistic field. The Gazette does
not wish to dissuade him; "misery loves
company." But he must pardon us if we
fail to believe he has discovered a sure
cure for our national political evils.
Ths state papers are lashing Governor
Pennoyer, because of the twenty-two
pardons he made just prior to Governor
Lord's inaugural. They were rather
commutations than pardons, and are to
take effect during Gov. Lord's adminis
tration. From Pennoyer's point of view
h. has acted perfectly proper and right.
To his mind he possesses all the judicial
as well as the administrative brains iu
3he state - of Oregon. This is a trust
created by the Giver of all good and per
fect things. It is not Governor Pennoy
cr lauit 11 omers iau in xne proper con
ception of all that is right and just in the
punishing of criminals and in other
things pertaining to the welfare of our
state. His genuine philanthropy and
patriotism, combined with his wise fore
thought, has made a power, in the par
doning business even after the people
had placed another man in the executive
chair.
The editoriayn last week's Gazette
concerning county management was un
fortunately so worded as to leave the im
pression with some that the descriptions
of property iu Mr. Alexander's rolls were
defective. It was not our desire to con
vey such an impression. So far as we
have been able to learn the clerical work
in the rolls 1893-4 is very accurate and
complete. .The sale of the property
appearing thereon, for taxes, would not
.bo hindered for want of proper descrip
tions. We referred to the rolls made
prior to his ineumbency from which were
eliminated some $60,000, mostly on ac
count of defective descriptions.
The Reverend J. C Reed has been
acquited by the Multnomah county jury
&nd he will now be cared for at the in
sane asylum until he is "cured." One of
his attorneys, Judge Caples, vented his
nthusiasm over the verdict by banging
a table with his fist and exclaiming: "It
is but justice to this truly good, but un
fortunate man." Had the reverend gen
tleman but five minutes more in the bank
he would have been not only truly good,
but truly fortunate, also.
The city taxpayers are going to take a
decided interest in the coming city elec
tion. Four councilmen are to be elected
besides the mayor, police judge, chief of
police and treasurer. Within a few
months the council will probably have to
enter into a contract for city water that
will be binding upon the city for a great
many years. We must elect sagacious,
wide-awake men as councilmen, who will
see that the city secures a just and bene
ficial contract
M. P. Taylor left for Portland Monday,
1 where ha will undergo another operation.
The Murphy battou used to unite the ends
of. the severed intestines failed to pass
away as expeoted and the 'muscles of his
abdomen have parted. Mr. Taylor expects
this second operation to result in re
tiring him to health.
THE APPEL ANTS' BRIEF.,
Some of the Principal, Points
Relied Upon for Setting
Aside the Oregon Pacific
Sale.
The Gazette is in receipt of a copy of
fie appellants' brief in the Oregon Pa
cific appeal matter. The numerous au
thorities cited in support of each of the
many propositions of law claimed fey the
appellants, evidence that much time and
pains have been taken by the attorneys
in the preparation of the brief. Among
the principal propositions to be consid
ered by the supreme co-rt as presented
by the appellants are: .. "That the cred
itors of the court may intervene and ap
peal; and in admitting these intervening
and appealing parties the court below has
exercised its discretion which is not now
to be questioned by the appeal court
"That a sale on Dec 22nd was not a
sale "between the 15th and 22nd.' That
an upset price should have been set by
the court to cover the court's liabilities.
"The court below had no power to
change, modify or vary the original de
cree after the expiration of the term in
which it was rendered; the orders appealed
from involved substantial variation from
the original decree, and must therefore be
reversed. Bondholders and certificate
holders, through modification of original
order, were deprived of their right to bid :
their securities as purchase money. This I
is held to be a substantial right which
the court is bound to protect By the
terms of the securities and the conditions
of their issuance the faith of the court is
pledged that the property on which they
are made a charge is in the possession of
the court, and that it will provide for the
payment' of the certificates before the
property or its proceeds shall pass out of
its control. Hitherto, courts have kept
faith with their creditors, and when rail
roads have been sold for sums insufficient
to pay the court's indebtedness the pur
chasers have been compelled to submit
to conditions securing the payment of
the receiver's indebtedness before sale9
would be confirmed or the property deliv
ered to them. This is held to be a - uni
versal' rule. The good faith of the court
is the security of the lender."
The inadequacy of price is claimed to
be such as to invalidate the sale. "The
duty of the court was to protect its cred
itors by arranging or fostering re-organizations
in the interests of the creditors."
In regard to taxes, th& payment of
which was provided for in the order of
sale out of the purchase money, is held
by the appellants to be a prejudging of
the right of lien holders before the court
to dispute the priority of the taxes, and
invalid on this accont Also invalid as
operating to reduce the purchase money
by causing the reduction of purchaser's
bid by the unascertained, and therefore
deterring amount of taxes accruing after
April 1st, 1894. When not given prece
dence, the lien of taxes is marshalled ac
cording to the general law determining
the rank of liens. The mere declaration
that taxes shall be a lien is not sufficient
to give priority of liens.
In the argument of the case it is claim-
ed that the order of Oct, 1894, involves
wide and substantial departures from the
decree of April, 1891.
"The original decree looked to a recon
li utiiuu or reorganization 01 tne com
pany. It gave powers to holders of
receiver's certificates to bid their secur
ities as part of the purchase money at
the sale, and to bondholders to bid their
bonds and coupons at such rate and per
centage as should be returnable to them
from the ultimate proceeds of sale, the
deposit of $5,000 being reserved to be
paid in cash.
"The bondholders and receiver's certi
ficate holders are both eliminated from
the order of sale of October 20, 1894,
which is to be for cash to the highest bid
ders; the purchase money, including the
deposit of 100,000, being to be paid in
cash or its equivalent in certified checks
or drafts satisfactory to the sheriff and to
the court, and not otherwise. The result
of such an order is apparent in a sale of
property valued by hostile experts not
much more than two years ago at not less
than $3,000,000 or $3,500,000 for $100,000.
"The effect of the provision in the
decree of April, 1891, for the benefit of
the bondholders and certificate holders
was two fold; it enhanced the value of
their securities by permitting their use as
cash in the purchase of the road, and
also induced a corresponding reduction
of the indebtedness of the court, demin
ished pro tanto the amount of cash
required to clear off the labor and mate
rial indebtedness of the court through its
receivers, and forestalled and prevented
the litigation between lien holders, certi
ficate holders, preferred creditors, and
labor and material claimants, which is
inevitable in the proposed distribution of
the almost ridiculous sum which will
remain from the $100,000, when the costs
and expenses of the court, and the
amount allowed for taxes, have been first
deducted therefrom.
"In the case before the court one plan
of reorganization was submitted by the
bondholders, acting through a committee,
at the close of 1891. From dissentions
among the bondholders apparent on all
the subsequent proceedings before the
court, and on the abstract of record, the
first plan failed after repeated adjourn
ments, and a most serious', lapse. When
this state of affairs waa disclosed, the
fatal order was made by the court to sell
the property for what it would fetch in
cash, little foreseeing the catastrophe to
which it inevitably led. No provision
was made, or suggested, for any of the
creditors of the court Anxiety to get
rid, as speedily as possible, of the burden
of the suit and its appendage, the receiv
ership, appears in the repeated efforts at
a sale on these terms. The result is seen
in the attempted confirmation of a sale
of property, reasonably worth $3,cxJoooi
even in bad times and under depressed
conditions," for $100,000. Examination
of the very numerous cases which have
come before the courts during the past
ten or fifteen years has failed to find one
distantly resembling this. The anxiety
of the court to protect its creditors should
have been further stimulated by the con
sideration that the security of these lend
ers depended solely on its action. If the
court fails the cortificate holder, and the
sale beiag in other respects legally made,
is confirmed, without provision for him
in one form or another, the balance of
authority appears to leave him without
remedy. For in such a case he is bound
by the decree.
"It must be admitted that every pre
sumption in law and equity is against the
confirmation of a sale for $100,000, by
the court, of property on which $15,000,
000, of first mortgage bonds had been
issued, and which one of the hostile ex
perts valued at not less than $3,000,000,
two. years ago, and on which property
the court itself has sanctioned an indebt
edness of over $800,000, on receiver's cer
tificates, with interest, and probably
$300,000, for labor and material claims.
A former receiver, E- W, Hadley, esti
mated the cost of replacing the property
as it stood in October, 1893, at $3,000,000.
Can the confirmation of the sale be held
to be within the limits of a sound, judi
cial discretion ? '
"It is submitted that the books may be
searched in vain to find not a parallel
but an instance of "inadequacy of price"
even distantly resembling that now be-
fore the court
"It is not disputed that it is the duty of
the court to cause the sale and realization
of the assets of the defendant corpora
tions at as early a day as is consistent
with the predominant duty of the court
to protect its creditors. The first requis
ite to a legal and successful sale is to
return at once withiu the limits of the
decree of April, 1S91."
GRAND JTRY REPORT.
Those taxpayers who have been so anxious
for the eutire abolishment of deputy hire for
county officials should read the below report.
It shows that tuey hnve given the matter
careful thought, and as each juryman is a
taxpayer, their conclusions as set forth in
the report are worthy of thoughtful consid
oration:
Id the circuit court of the state of Oregon,
for Benton county, April 1S95 term.
To the Hon. J. C, Fullerton, judge of the
above entitled court:
The grand jury having completed their
labors for tho term, bog respectfully to sub
mit the following rport: We have been
in session six ilays, during which time we
returned fire "true bills of indictment,
anil two "not true bills" of iadictmant. We
have visited the officos of the various county
officers and find the books and papers neatly
and accurately kept. The jail is in a health'
ful condition and the prisoners properly
cared for. The county treasurer, clerk,
sheriff and recorder have submitted to us
written statements of the expense at their
various offices, which, with our personal
examination of their offices, convinces us
that the present allowance by the coucty
court for deputies is a necessary and ecu
nomical allowance, with the" exception that
we consider seventy dollars per month for
deputy coanty clerk in excess of present cur
rent wages. We bare been careful in our
examination of such fees to deputy officers
by reason of requests made upon us to do so
by certain taxpayers of the county. We
would urge apon justices of the peace to be
more careful iu preliminary examinations,
and to only bind over such persons as the
evidence will warrant conviction. We Con
sider the business of this term of court has
been coudueed with all promptness, and
we appreciate the courtesies extended to us
by your honor. All the officials including
the district attorney have rendered, us asfie
tance in expediting the business before us,
and now having fully completed the business
beforo us, we respectfully ask that we be
discharged.

Wednesday evening from his California trip,

that the thing has not before beeu done see
ing that coal oil sells for 40 cents per gallon,

Mr. Gates pronounces the water power at
Linkville the best in the United States.
