Mn.l kr, Register. I'etek Paqv.-.t, Receiver. Suit. Seventy-six men, says the Al bany lk-rald, acting for themelves individuallv, as the assignees of forty more of their fellows, each and all of whom are, or have been clerks, agents, servants or em ployes of the Oregon Pacific Rail road company and the Willamette Valley and Coast Railroad Com pany have filed a plea in interven tion, iu the circuit court of Denton conuty, through their attorneys, Messrs. D'Arcy tt Dingham, of Salem. It was filed in the now famous suit of The Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, trustee, vs. the corporations before named, and will serve as a wedge with which to effect an opening for the equitable standing of these c'.aluis Unit have been so persistantly ignored in all the previous litigation and will, in fact, bring these men and their claims squarely "into court" where they must be legally and honestly disposed of. The aggregate amount of these just and Ion,; overdue $70,000 and to say that they will be pushed to the very last limit of their validity is superfluous. In the complaint tiled by these men it is alleged that the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company when they sued for foreclosure against the railroad last October, claimed a mortgage indebtedness against the defendant companies of $15,000,000, that they asked for; and were al lowed, a receiver of the entire fran chise, property, premises, and purtenances, of every nature find sort whatsoever of ald defendant railroad companies and each of them, including all the property and premises, mentioned and con veyed in said mortgage, or deed of trust to plaintiff, together, with all money and credits on hand and the earnings of the same that such re ceiver or receivers may be granted, by this court, such powers as may be deemed necessary and proper." The complainants now make the pertiment allegations that the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company as trustee, and as the greatest credi tor in interest, in the whole matter, has never in any manner assisted the court to properly administer the affairs of these wrecked companies but has contented itself with stand ing id'y by and witnessing several inadequate sales of these properties, which the Trust company's own expert has reported to be worth actually $3,500,000; that the said properties, unless bid on at the coming sale by the Farmers' Loan & Trust company,' will not sell for enough to pay court expenses; that said Trust company has never heretefore been a bidder even in behalf of its own Immense claim, at any of tjie several sales which have transpired; ami in the face of these charges, these employes pray for an order of the Court, requiring and compelling this big creditor trust company to pay Into court the several amounts claimed by the hundred and odd claimants bring ing this suit, together with interest at 8 per cent, thereon, until the same shall have been paid. Tlie cft'-e is one that will attract broad interest, as a new feature in the multiplicity of features already established to the history of these fine projierties np to date, and it has the cctiliur merit of being an element on which popular sympathy will focus itself, whether it has a suctesi-ful issue or not.' There is never any thing un certain about Van Clf've- And the Post. The buzzard and the vulture never are keener to s-enl carrion than Van and his Post are to scent boodle. And it don't take but mighty little boodle to furnish the scent for them either. It is one comfort to be able to always tknow where to find a man or paper. If that present owner map busl ness had lcn a honest deal, the court and lontntctors would have been open ami above hoard In the ... mauer. it wouii navt gone on record in the journal as the law demands and they would have sneaked around about it 111" lot of sheep killing dugs. .The Job Bank anil the County i units. It will be remembered that Ben ton county brought suit some time ago against J. R. Bryson, as assign ee of Hamilton, Job & Co. to re cover the amount of money the county had on deposit in that in stitution at the time of the failure, alleging that such money was a trust fund and must be returned as such. The Corvallis Times in peaking of the case says: ''In the case of Denton county against J. R. Bryson as assignee of Hamitou, Job & Co., the assignee, has filed his answer and admits that there was a balance in favor of Denton county of $11,057.86 when the bank sniended. but denies any any knowledge as to whether any part of that money is in his hands as the assignee. And also denies that the money placed there was a special deposit or bailment of said money, ami that it was not intend ed that the identical moneys depos ited should be returned, but that 111 nmi irirn imilnr tn nil rmtioml o ----- deposits; that the same was mingled with the other mencys of the bank. It further denies that Burnett, county treasuier of Benton county, is in any way entitled to preference over the other genet al depositors for any part of the money iu the hands of the assignee. The answer for"h separate defense alleges in effect that more than two years prior to May, 1893, the coun tv treasurer opened an account with said bank iu the name of M. r. Duruett, county treasurer, sub ject to check and that he drew against the same by check, and that the same was received, not as special but os general deposits iu the siild Lank and that the same was not kept separate from, but was mingled with the general funds and not capnpie of identification. It is also claimed as a .defense that the county treasurer presented a claim for this against the assignee and also claims that Benton county by its agents and officers hud knowl edge of the custom of the county treasurer of depositing the county funds with the bank on general de posit subject to check: The answer claims that it would be inequitable and a prejudice to the other creditors to allow plaintiff to receive payment in full of said $11,057, or to make any claim oth er than the money was a general deposit. It is claimed that on May tst, 1893, Hamilton, Job & Co. had cash on hand iu the sum of $31, 713, and tha between May 1st, 1893, and June 10th, Hamilton, Job & Co. received numerous deposits and that the same were not used for the purpose of making loans but were used in paying the indebtedness of the bank; and alleges that the claims so far presented aggregates about the sum of $223,555.40, and the assets aggregate in all about the $130,000. The assignee claims that he received from said Hamil ton, Job & Co. $1 1,725.21, and no more in money, and that there has been $30,000 of claims and de mands made upon the ground that the sums included in the same were trust funds and were entitled to be paid in full, and that the claims have not been adjudicated as to whether they were trust funds or not, and claim that it would be un just to the other creditors." The Albany Democrat, a patent medicine advertisement daily that indicts itself upon a few of the peo ple of Albany calls the editor of this paper a populist because it stands up for the people against a rottou swindle that one of his fat friends which was imported over here is helping to engineer through. If standing up against such things as tVe Job bank dwindle, the Hadlcy railroad swindle, and the preseut ownor map business makes an editor a populist, then we plead guilty. And we are not ashamed of it either. The woolen mills at Oregon City have made a reduction of 10 per cent, iu the wages of the employes, and a strike or lock out Is the re sult. Has anyone noticed a re duction of loticr cent, in the price V''f tb product of the mills lately? 1 Last Saturday's Corvallis Gazette printed a picture, said to be that of Will II. Dloss, the noted foot ball player. It the likeness is conect Mr. Bloss is a very nice appearing, middle aged lady. J. F. Stewart is a bad man no doubt, but please remember that he published openly in his own paper the amount of every bill which has been allowed him by the county. Notwithstanding he wad requested by a part of the com missioner's court not to do sot But what has that got to do with1 present owner maps? The Newport News completed its first year's existence last weeki Messrs. Matthews, at the time of starting- (lie News had 110 ivrevioUS knowledge of the business, and considering the many other draw backs, they have done remarkably well. The News is a good, local paper, and we wish it success and prosjterity as it travels on toward the second mile stone. Multnomah county has a lav suit on hands over a preseut owner map. Clackamas county has a law suit on hands over a present owuet map. Lake county has a law suit on hand over a present owner map: Kverybody knows how Benton county was defrauded. And m the face of all this, and at the time when the county needs every dollar it can get, is it wise or sensible for Lincoln county to plunge into the" same Vortex? We would just like to know how Furker and Van Winkle are going to get hold of that state tax. The- sheriff cannot pay it to theiu with' out laying himself and his bonds- . men liable. He Can only pay taxeJ collected to the treasurer, taking his receipt therefor. The treasurer can't pay them only on a warrant issued by the county court, and that court can not draw a warrant against stale taxes, otdy to pay state taxes. How are they going to get this money unless some of ... ficer transgresses the duty of hiV office? A movement is on foot with a1 fair prospect of success, to cstabltslf an educational institution at tlm . place in the shape of an Industrial school for pupils of higher grade than the common wrhools. Ar rangements to that end are under way with Prof. Lambert, a former. president of the State University of Kugene, and if the proper , en couragement is given the schoof will be established. We sincerely hope that it will succeed. I he benefits to be derived from such an institution are manifold. The lo cation is admirable and advantages many. Help the scheme along. . .. - , , The attempt of the gang w,hq wish to raid the county tinder the head of a present owner map and, supplemental tax roll, to draw at tention away from their outrageous scheme by inventing an attack in some other direction will not work.. The Lkaokk has exposed their rotten scheme and their successful attempt to puiclmse poor old Van, Cleve and his paper will not covet it up from the view of the taxpay-. crs. iney may luugu nnu nuecx at the tropic in the "burnt woods", but the Lkadkh is willing to lay its case before these sain, people, and trust to their honesty and integrity. Col. Tom Buford, a bcll-weathetj iu the republican fold of Lincoln, county, was over last week, and by chance or otherwise, State Superin-, dent Mcldroy happened to be in. Corvallis on the same day. The, latter denied that any bee buzzes, in his loi'iict, but when It is re-, membered that twelve years ago Col. Buford was a moving spirit among the delegates who lioosted McKlroy into the position tliat he, still occupies, the keen observer is. led to suspect that last week's meeting l ad referencu to the ques tion of whom the Lincoln county, delegates should support for gover nor in tlio next republican state convention.
