of the . company waa transected by
Messrs. UcCraken and Plttock, the two
latter are 40 ba-held -responsible for the
dire consequences l hat followed aban
donment of the road after Its actual
construction had been started.
Walker chargea that Mr. Records and
the Atlas Contract Supply company
of which he waa president, were forced
to quit work by President McCraken's
refusal to sign the bond Issue, and for
no other caust He says thst had Mo
Craken "arid Plttock. forming the ma
jority and active executive committee,
performed their- duty as directed by
resolution of the stockholders, the Til
lamook road would now be built, and
controlled by Portland Instead of Jlarrl
man Interests. .
KoOrakea Bleld onds
, Thst complete arrangements for the
building of the road' from Portland to
Tillamook, 100 miles, had been made
there has" been no question. Valid con
tracts had been made with tha Atlas
Contract Supply company for build
ing. the first SO miles, and construction
had been begun by the grading of sev
eral miles of the line between HUIsboro
and ituxton. The contract with Rec
ords, of the construction company, pro
vided that he should receive 1800,000 of
the bonds In full payment and satisfac
tion for building the flrst 4 SO mllea
Arrangements had been rqnde by Rec
ords and Walker with the German Na
tional bank of San Francisco and the
Bank of California to advance the nec
essary money on delivery to them, by
Records, of his 1600,000 bonds. The
onds had been printed and lay In the
deak or Preaident MoCraken, awaiting
his signature. Records began conatruo
rfoa In good faith at Hfllaboro, spending
his available personal funds . In the In-,
tervat of watting for the officers of ths
Portland, Nebalem Tillamook road to
sign and complete their bond Issue.
This condition of affalra continued
from June SS. 1S0S. to eorae time in
September. Records made repeated de-
mends on McCrakeh knd Plttock for the
Dvnaa sue mm unuer Tne contract, ana
sb-vmra pvrsieiev la niuwu sign

than that he didn't want to doso.
Only Signature Sfeeded.
The bonds had been signed by the
secretary. William Retd, and only lacked
tha signature of John MoCraken. preai
dent. . to become available collateral at
the San Francisco banks- that were
ready to supply the money, under an
agreement making 4he Mercantile Trust
company of San Francisco trustee for
the bondholders. Records retained John
M. Gearin aa his attorney, and threat
ened suit to compel McCraken's slgna
tureos; the bonds were worthless with
out the elgnajure of f the company's
president. . . . ---i
At this stage of the tragedy Record's
personal funds ran ahoirt, and hs wss
obliged to quit work, aa the San Fran
cisco banks refused to-advance a dollar
until the bonds were forthoomlng. The
whple project then fell to the ground.
Walker bases his aulta agalnat Harri

gation that .the road was financed, the
bonds prrotecT snd every" preliminary de
tail carried out excepting one, the Big
