In fact I have been rorcea to cancel his subscrip tion to a (100 bond, tor non-payment This action waa taken March 29. 1908, for want of a payment of $25 to carry his contract with this corporation and sine cancellation hla resignation haa been demanded. In faot, under the by lawa ha could not serva aa an office of thla company without holding stock. Tha stock certificates Issued to Captain Meagher were never signed by the pres ident and therefore, aa tha books of tha corporation ahow, Meagher la not a atockholder. As reeards the reslrnatlon of Messrs. MoCredle and Phllllna. I have no per sonal knowledge. "I rsslsrned my office aa treasurer of thla corporation in favor of Mr. PMil- llpa for the good of all persons con cerned. In tha belief that tha affairs of tha company would rest in tha hands of men who would protect tha individual Investor. - &ong Distance Connections. "Helstlve to long distance connec tions, I will aay that there la no truth In tna printed statement that wa have no long ' distance connections with the Northwestern. We have a algned and aeaied contract running- -for 25 years with tha Northwestern Long Distance company out of Vancouver, and In 'ad dition thereto wo have an oral agree ment on tha part of that company, made In tha presence of three witnesses. J. to iflve ua almllar contracts for long distance service out of Centralla and ChehaUs when we shall be ready for tamo. Sines thla verbal contract waa mado, I have bean inrormea repeaieaiy by Mr. Clements that C. C. Craig, gen eral manager of tha Northweatern Long Distance company, naa oeen trying 10 secura from him a $4,000 payment, for what, I am not aware. However, aince that waa declined by Mr. Clementa. man of tha name of Marsh has been sent to Centralla seeking franchises In blanket form. Membera of tha city council demanded that ha aegregate the clauses in these franchises to one par ticular (rant, and ha named a telephone grant. "It la rather unuaual for a long dls tanco corporation to give contracts for long distance oonnectiona Derore re ceiving, assurance that it-would be ?Iven a franchise. Thla waa done only or the purpose of Interfering with the plana of the Waahlngton Home Tele phone ac Tolegraph company as far as possiDie. xnesa luiDuatering tactics oe gan when they became aatlsfled that wa meant business, having started crews of men to work In Centralla, Chehalis and Vancouver for tha construction of our plants In compliance with every de tail of our franchises as late as April 1.

"I have personally filed a f 1.000 car tiried check with the city or vanoou ver aa a required bond, in compliance witn franchise provisions, ana tne re auirements of the franchises in cen tralla and Chehalis have been fully met to date, so that we may safely aay tnat no corporation naa irancmses more fully complied with In their conditions than have the Washington Home Tele- pnone & Teiegrapn company. "Concerning C. R. Warner. I shall In all charity say as little as possible. The lire nistory or the man la unfortunate, We employed him on tha representation mat ne naa maae gooa witn tne von land Home TeleDhone comDtnv. but he has never complied with Instructions or ruirmea tne terms or nis contract, ma account with thla company Is over drawn f 69.58. Since he waa ordered out of our service ha signed the indorse ment of tha corporation without au thority to a check for 176, which was cashed by tha First National bank of Wallace, Idaho. Tha check waa given him by O. D. Jones, and without au tborlsatlon he Indorsed the company's name, una cneck in question waa for waraea oy tne waiiace oanic to fore land for our inspection, and a copy la now in possession or ta. a. j.

He haa been notl fled of the act committed by Warner, ana tne matter is now up to Mr. jonea, Just a Duplicate. "In relation to the Washington Home TeieDnone & Teiearaon eompany a nulla lng, which is being erected under lease for a term of 26 years by Glenn Ranck. tnia structure is practically a duplicate of one of the butldinga of the Portland Home Telephone company. Goodrich & Goodrich, the architects, have a print of the, latter company a building, in order to make a copy, and It waa duplicates of tnis print wmco ware aent out irom tnis office. "Wa now coma to tha affairs of tha Champion Group Mining company, March 4, 108, I drew a check against my personal account check No. IS for $4,212.88, In order to take care of an overdraft of the Champion Group Min in a- - company, on the Siskiyou C bank, Treka, California, whloh personally guaranteed. In passing I Min- 'ounty I had may say that the Champion Grouo lng company la this day Indebted to tne in xno aum ox voz.no on notes ana open accounts. - Individually I have put Into the operation of these mines nearly 831.000. covering a period of about eight months, and I certainly ahall not hesitate to assert my rights In the prem broDer time. The main trouble In the affairs of the Champion Group Mining company has been due to the machinations of one Hayes. I picked this man up when tie was penniless and placed him on nta reet. gave mm employment and an Intereat in the affairs of the comnanv. I aent him to Mexico to look out for my individual interest in mines there. He repaid ma- by mlsreDresentlna- tna to others Interested In the mines, boost ed nimseir into, tna presiaenoy of the company, threw ma down In every way possible, and then returned to Portland iurtoer .exniMUon jQI hia in gratitude. He evidently believes that by producing a ahaotic state of affairs in thla company he and hla cronies will avoid . aettlement of their obligations to mo tnat win ricniy reamer nig own nest. Developments will show whether ha haa been aa ahrewd aa ha thinks or not. ".During his sojourn in Mexico Haves waa sent approximately iz.uu Dy me: Of thla amount he haa : failed to ac count for about 81,700 and has made falsa reports aa to purchases. Hla op erations while la Mexico are now under Investigation and subsequent develoD- jnenta may take another form than ex ploiting him In the publlo print. Hla work at all stares of the game haa been marked by underhanded methods, and am prepared to maae gooa tne truth ' every assertion bearing-udoh him or hla oonnection with these mining com panies. He was discharged by me upon hlr return from -Mexico, and allying himself with certain - dissatisfied di rectors merely continued the policy-he Inaugurated la' Mexico - As to tha matter alleged In the article concerning' Mr.' Bloch and hla relations with Mr. Wilde, X know 1 nothing and therefore I have nothing to aay. 1 have absolute confidence in Mr. Bloch's Integrity and financial standing, and he la amply able to de fend himself against the attacks of Mr. Wilde or any other person. "In conclusion, I wish merely to aay that the affalra of my office are con ducted on strict business principles, and tha stock and bond deals that have been mads and are being made through my office are fair and legitimate busi ness Investments.
