' The statement, fr confession, made by Meldrum, and, here printed ' for the first time. 1b as follows: ; "l noticed In the October number of the American magaslne an article by Lincoln Steffena relative to the land frauds In Oregon; In which Mr. Stef fena labored to show that George O. Brownell was in some way corruptly connected with them. - Mr.; Brownell waa in no way, directly or Indirectly, connected with what is comlnonly known as the land frauds in this state, and In order to make myself understood I shall have to go a little into the political history of Clackamas county, so as to make my point clear. Inside roUtioal History. In 189i -George C Brownell was msd chairman of the Republican county central committee of Clackamas county by a unanimous vote in the conven tion. At that time I waa - a United Btatee deputy surveyor, and had been for years prior thereto, and continued to be such, having government con tracts for surveys, and for a time' be ing en inspector of United States sur veys until I was appointed aurvevor- generaj or tne state in May, ivvi. Brownell took charge of the campaign in 1S92. I admired hla ability and be came Identified with him In a political way. - In 1894 I was elected chairman of the Republican county central com mittee myten. George C Brownell was nominated that year for -state senator, by accla mation, and renominated in 1898 and in 1902 by acclamation. I had long neid an amDiuon to oecome surveyor general of the state, and in 1894 I had oharxe of Brownell's camnalan. aa much as he would allow any one to naye cnarge or nis campaign, ana ne agreed with me, and I with him; that If Brownell made a winning as politics go, that I should receive the appoint ment of surveyor-general. This kept us in close oontact in a political way ail tnrougn inese years up umu jtirow nell delivered the goods In 1901. Bargala Xs Made. . '' A short time after . being Installed aa surveror-general on July 1, 1901, I was . Informed by i Senator J.-. H. Mitchell, that among the deals he had made with certain members , of the state legislature. ) la order : to procure their support at -the- -previous session, was one wMh certain state senator from an easterst Oregon county, where by among other valuable considerations a relative i of the . state senator was to receive the appointment of chief clerk in the surveyor-general's office, a position held at that time by George Bl Waggoner, To this proposition I demurred, stat Ina- that Wasffi wai oner was a competent clerk, had held the Position for sev eral years. Was familiar'' with all the details of the office, -that his father, George Waggoner of Benton- county, had supported Mitchell fdr the 'United States senate, when a member -of a previous ; legislature, that --Waggoner held his ; position -under civil' service rules,-, and could not be removed, ex cept' specific charges -were filed against him, ' which) I was loth to do. Several conferences were held between. Sena tor -Mitchell, some or nis rrienas, ana myself, the burden of the song being that Mr. Mitchell must keep his prom ise with the state senator. Not being a party to such an arrangement I refused "to act against Waggoner,! and he held the position. , , , , , ; . ' .. ; zavestigaaiosi Begins.

Within a snort time enemies of Waggoner and fnyself, f also friends of the applicant for Waggoner's posi tion, caused reports to be ;. circulated that affairs in tn olflce or-surveyor reneral - were being- improperly oon- iucted.
