"Kdltor Atorlan, "Astoria, Ore. , "Sir: What Mr. Ctydo Fulton talc tltU morolng ia hi letter to the Astor fun I nothing but personal abuse, ft tlssut of falsehood a he give not a word of explanation nor answer the question I put to him whether or sot it wa true what he stated to the Cham ber that I never had built any com pleted railroad. , Nevertheless the evi dence on this point that, contrary to Ms statement I had built thrct aeparate railway in Western Oregon aggregat ing 180 mile cannot be deputed. Why! Because the railway are there today and can be seen in running operation. Beside the history of Oregon records these facts. This ends hi false allega tions number one. "Now to bi second allegation that I am dishonest. I shall very speedily give him an opportunity to prove this false assertion, for having a wife and family 33 year in Oregon I cannot ia Justice to them have my reputation jso tarnish ed, and a court of law alone can deter mine whether I am or ever wa dis honest and there I trust Mr. Clyde Ful ton will present hi proof in defence to my personal Suit to prove my honesty. "Hi Ourd allegation that I nave not the money myself to build this Astoria railroad to the Xehatem ofl to Portland ia however perfectly true for I confes that after the panic of 1893 I lost the fortune I had previously acquired, hut thank God I did not then lose my .rail rond experience nor my financial connec tion both, in London and, the United States and my) reputation among these financier I such that although I in vented over $7,000,000 ia mortgage for them, and also $5,000,000 on more in railroad bond sot a dollar of' that money wa lost. Perhaps the history of Portland will enlichtea Mr.. Clyde Ful ton thereon. Apart from all thia E. II. Harrlman and Jame J. U1I! put up their own money personally to build ; new railways t I gues not, no more cai L The public relics solely upon these two gentlemen railroad experience alone, just a my people In to Angeles and in London relyt upon my experience of the Achalem country and that which lies between-Portland and Astoria for the completion and suoces of the Port land-Oregon "4 Seacoast Railway and what I have taken pain to inform them for year would be. the two greatest cities in the State of Oregon, if only they , had four or five railroads to the sea via Astoria. "When I first introduced Mr. H. Ilawgood to Judge' Frank J. Taylor and J. Q. A. Bowlby a year ago and to Gabriel Wingate, at Astoria, he was then president a he ia now of Portland Oregon & Seacoast Railway Company and he stated to them viva voce his plana to enter Astoria and bis backing. He wa assured the rights-of-way for the whole 32 miles to Nehalcm river could be obtained ' free from citizens of Astoria. This however we do not ak only, six miles through 70 acres of wild land whoae owner s property will go up to 250 per cent with our road and be valueless without it. Somehow I told President Hawgood then he made a mis take In not selecting Clyde Fulton as our attorney but he did not see it with the result that at the last meeting of the State Legislature, Clyde Fulton also the present superintendent of the A. s C, R. R. and the Clatsop county repre sentative all three as a delegation went to Salem to defeat our bill to get access through a t Young's; River bride into Astoria and they succeeded. ; "It wa equa as essential for us in our line from Astoria to Portland to get into East Portland to connect there with all transcontinental lines to cross at.Oswego, and strange to say after five weeks' fight I did get through an act of the legislature authorizing all rail' road line with, train and locomotive to cros the bridge there (now construct ing) and to enter East Portland. If then I waa the disreputable maa Clyde Fulton tells the Aatorian I am why did not the citizens of Portland ia their might get up and say we don't want Reid' Fortland-Oregon & Seacoast Railway to enter Portland, but instead every sena tor and evry representative from Port land and adjoining counties voted for my . amendments to tha S. P. Co.' Oswego Bridge Bill and it became a law and I am sorrn to say the Astoria ainii lar bill wa defeated. By whom ? Clyde Fulton and representative of Clatsop county who there ia my presence at Salem tried' also to oppose the Oswego Bridge Bill with the amendments for us to enter Portland. ; I challenge Clyde Fulqoni to disprove this for he waa present at , the railroad committee's meeting when tha Portland Oswego Bridge Bill was reported favorably and so waa I and other Astoria citizens were theer also to prove same. ' "Nevertheless, as chairman of the exe cutive committee on Astoria's Chamber of Commerce I did not think Mr. Ful ton would try to put a 'spoke into our wheel' when our company' directors asked that bodji to aid us not with money) but withi influence to enable us to gft th's six mile rlghU-of-way spewllly through -without the interven tion of the comt at Astoria, but as they (your Chamobr of Commerce) have ofllc hilly decided otherwise why we have, thank to the State Legislature, to wait the slow modus operandi of the court 'tit will get there, to Neialem R3vir I mean, all the same although possibly not as snecdllv) as if we had the in- infliu-nco of Astoria's Chamber of Com merce to Induce, the holder of these six milc rights-of-way to compromise their suit now pending before Judge Mc- Bride. "1 omitted to denv an I now do Mr. Clyde Fulton's false assertion that I had two year ago attempted to build five mile from liilMxiro lor i'omana, N'elialcm It, Tillamook Railway Com nanv. If be will call on Col. John Mc- Crakcn it, president and IL I Fittoek it chairman of the executive commit lea he will find to the contrary that I had previously paid for these five miles oraAn inlaine.d as follows) Some rears ago I built thee five mile with my own money. The directors of the Port kind, Kehalem & Tillamook Railway Company oa the 22nd of J.une, 1905, granted to Atlas Construction Company of San Francisco af contract to build 20 miles from Hillsboro ia exchange for $600,000 bonds. That construction com- nanv asked me to sell my da which I did to it and it commenced work thereon, had not been working for. Wo week when it ttonped work upon my five miles grade all paid in cash by me and alleged (wnicn I guess u true; non delivery of it $600,000. Bonds by CoL McCraken, president of the Portland, pany, stopped them, At any rate 1 ua not 'tret ' dollar fronwAtla Construc tion Company for my fire mile grade (every dollar of which I tad paia year ago). Mr. Lytle never got any 'deed thereto from its true owner but I am told he paid the 'Atla Construction Company' men some fZ8W or ww ior their work done upon my eraae irora Aucust L 1905. to their stoppage two week thereafter ana now Jtt me v. a. Federal court, New York. And I atili bold that five mile erode op rather the company that built it doe for Atla Construction Company' obligation to poy it and still unpaid by either Mr. Lvtle or anvbodr else. I had no mich five mite contract, the San Francisco company had, and it is these wild and reckles statement which Clyde Fulton make for a purpose, pardon me say ing so, that have not a wora or train in them. ' : "Finally to show the absurdity of that $230,000 cash or bond which Clyde Ful ton demanded from the Forttana-oregon & Seacoast Railway Company last Mon day let me ask ' for what purpose did he want it I The stockuoia ersl Impossible, because no shares, not even one is held in Clatsop countvi or Astoria, For the bond holder in Lon don t No, because they have a mortgage deed of trust to their own trustee, lnen I it for the workmen protection T He knows the law that this also is untrue, for under the lien law of Oregoa ,all workmen have a preferable lien even preferable to that of the bond holders' mortgage itself which saya that tt the men's monthlr waees are in default for 10 davs after the day fixed fop payment thereof these workmen can put a ilea upon the road and make the bond cold era tar it immediate! vi thereafter and do you Buppose that 30 days' construc tion would amount to $250,000 or even $0000 uer montht Simply ridiculous. Tbia law tools effect after the Astoria & South Coast Railway was built and bsnce I don't think Clyde Fulton knows anything about it. Tf. iowever. Mr. Fultoa will specifi cally make anyi charges against me in writing I will guarantee to answer them in 2 hours, and aa 'facts are chiels that wiAna dimr" I want no personal spleen or dislike allegations, but the cold seriatim specific- allegations, nothing more, lor me to answer.
