When his representative called at the office ! of the telegraph com panies in Salem, neither found any record or reference to such a tel egram, which is explained by the fact that -the message was really sent from Portland office under a Salem date line. Captain Sever's representative then called on na tional guard officers to know it they knew anything of such a let egram. Copy Found on File . The matter was promptly refer red to Major James S. Gar. head of the Inspector general's depart j ment, and the original telegram was traced to the North Portland Drancn 01 me costal company where it was found on file. De mand was immediately made' for authority to photograph the orig lnal record and also that It bo withdrawn from file and. kept In safe keeping pending further in vestigation. Captain Sever, under date of April 23, reported having already written to the secretary of war repudiating the message He also said that he had author ized no one to sign for him and had no knowledge of the telegram until He received the letter of acknowledgement from Secretary Weeks' oiflce.

' and Safe signment did not ' appeal to me, as my time was fully taken up. The' transfer meant nothing to me personally in the way of rank or pay, as I had previously received and now hold federal recognition as a brigadier general. I prepared for the necessary examination, however, as it meant something to Oregon, which has never received much recognition in such mat ters, and passed the 1 necessary tests. The. transfer went through with strong approvals f rotd all concerned In the army as well as with a strong letter of approval by Governor Pierce, acting for tho state, and approval by the Idaho authorities whose Infantry troops would thus come under the Ore gon headquarters. , It ; has been held up ever since in the secretary of wars office, and although I have made repeated requests for the reasons, have learned nothing more definite than that 'protests' had been made. In view of the character of this bogus telegram I am not surprised that the secretary of war has not acted, although It 1 does surprise me that the vio lent nature ot the . telegram' did not arouse suspicion when received over the apparent signature of a well known and reputable citizen." 1 SALEM MARKETS I OSAIW AJTD wheat ....
