"There is a battle royal on between

Furnish. J. H. Baley of jPendleton and
a professional f orecloser named H- I
Moody began a Systematic crusade to
wreck, ruin and financially destroy me.
"My mistake ! was .'in . trusting . the
wrong man. Furnish has made the
mistake In believing that If he could
create the financial havoc In my affairs
which he and his agents have accom
pllBhed that I would: not only be finan
cially bankrupt, but,, like some poor
rancher whom he had in his clutches, I
would be without spirit and courage.

chapter to the history of the Inland

f -When 1 went into the project Furnish
was irasaieu in iinn,
nhvsical . and, nervous wreck, and his
nrnioct was a loke. When I went away,
slnoe my advent into the company, he
had never put a penny'thereln,- and the
entire irrigation, service had been entlre-
,ly reuuut. . . . ' . -j- -
''Regarding the amount which Fur
rilsh now claims, whether great or
small,1 all of these sales were recorded
In the settlement of July 2, and the
i-i settlement thereunder of these
claims and my offset was postponed for
18 months In the contract of that date,
at which time no changes were made in
the ' methods of collection or handling
the business. -j.
"Before I left I had turned over to
,.jir.4 Furnish: andthe Inland Irrigation
contracts on land upon which
one third to one half had already been
paid and. the balance on these contracts
would pay Furnish all of his bond and
every other claim against the company
at -that time except what it owed me.
This settlement was therefore put off,
an I supposed to ft date when the only
individual left in the company would
be myself and it was not material how
the matter should tnen De setuea.
Trusted Wrong Man.
7 "All claims of Furnish were pro-
" vlded for as stated and now lie seeks
MTirte technicalities to take my inter
ests, amounting to 4800 water acres, In
the project' and valued at more ; than
11.000.000. My mistake was in trust
(tig the wrong man. Furnish has made
the mistake of believing that if he
fould create the financial havoc in my
affairs that he and his agents have
accomplished, that I would not only be
financially bankrupt 1 but, like some
poor '' rancher . 'whom 1,'he had,; in , hls
clutches. I would also be broken in
imlrit and without courage. :

Chicago, Dec. 21.' John D. Rockefeller
has rounded out his scheme of bene
factions for Chicago, university, his
final and completing endowment being
of J10.000.00O, to be paid in 10. equal
annual installments, beginning January
1. He has now bestowed a total of
about $35,000,000 upon the university.
Rockefeller says be believes the uni
versity's future deevlopment will be
test assured if donations shall hence
forth be bestowed from other sources.
For this reason he announces that his
giving Is at an end. Gifts other than
those of Rockefeller already total 17,

With the ' announcement of , Rocke
feller's final donation came the resigna
tion of John D. Rockefeller Jr, and Fred
T. Gates, Mr; Rockefeller's personal
representative, from the board of trus
tees. In enclosing these resignations
Rockefeller explained he was carrying
out a conviction that the Institution
should be ' "controlled, conducted and
supported by the people," with whom up
to now he had simply been cooperating.
Rockefeller's idea, it is said, Is that
he is turning over the institution and
its endowment to Chicago 'and the west
and in , so' doing withdraws from any
further representation in its control.
Donations of all Classes.

HVCOURT CHANGES MIND
ABOUT A. COMPROMISE
A stipulation between the government
and the Booth-Kelly Lumber company
to settle the suit to cancel timber claims
owned by the defendant company, and
which were allegedly taken up, by rela
tives of Robert A. Booth, fell through
this morning while the Interested
parties were about to sign it. ,
The stipulation was drawn by United
States District Attorney McCourt and
was agreed to by the Booth-Kelly com
pany. Just as Mr. McCourt was going
to sign it, he discovered the books of
the company showed the timber secured
from the United Btates to be more
valuable than he had known. A continu
ance of the hearing before Commis
sioner Brode was taken and the gov
ernment has sent an expert to Eugene
to- go over the books and . get at the
