Investigation . by County Clerk
Brown shows that the county clerk
and two Justices who made the offi
cial count of votes from the primary
election made an error ns to the total
number of votes cast for McAdoo for
president. The official figures gave the
former secretary of tho treasurer 1679
votes in the county and these figures
supplied by County Clerk Brown him
self were published by the Fast Ore
gonlan in its story of the final count.
Mr. Drown has since checked over
the precinct sheets and says that the
McAdoo total should read & instead
of 1579. Accordingly the figures have
been changed on the official summary
sheet. An error was also discovered
In the lotal vole for one of the elec
tors. The error in connection with the
McAdoo vote was entirely on tlm n.irr
of the officials. The Rast Oregon ia n !
merely took their records, relying up
on the official count as being correct
and was In no sense guilty of garb
ling, as has been charged.

IS CALLED MYTHICAL
Started by Cunningham
The Cunningham Sheep La rid Co.,
is an institution ot 15 years standing.
In 190S it was purchased from Charles
Cunningham for a figure reported U
have been t JSS.OOO. J. N Burgess
was president of the new company,
and his associates were J. M. Keeney,
Dan J. Malarkey and R. A. Kelsey. At
the time of Mr. Burgess' death last-loll
the property was owned by himself,
Mr. Keeney and Mrs. Malarkey. "At
present the owners are J. M. Keeney,
the Burgess estate and Donald Came
ron. foreman at the ranch.
Dr. s. w. McCltire. secretary of tho
National Woolgrowcrs' Association,
has been manager of the ranch sines
last December, following the death of
Mr. Burgess.' It Is not known hero
whether Mr. Falconer has arranged to
associate Dr. MeClure as manager, but
it is presumed that the present man.
ager will return to his Interest In
Idaho. Mr. Cameron, Mr. Keeney said
today, will be retained ns foreman.
Recently Consummated
The deal was consummated in the
past 10 days. Mr. Falconer haying only
recently opened negotiations for the
purchase of the property. It has been
known here that a deal was probable
as soon as a buyer was found.
Mr. Keeney. who maintains res
idence In Portland, has given no
thought to his future operations, he
said today. Ho has other business In
terests, but Intimated that he might
enter the sheep and wool business
again.
Pendleton occepted the news of the.
deal today with considerable excite
ment. owing to the magnlturo of It.
Wheat land sales running Into six
figures have not been uncommon tn
the recent years, with prices at a high
! level. Never, however, has a deal
t been turned Involving more than o
' half million dollars.
The faith of Mr. Falconer in the fu
i ture of sheep and wool la also, evi
denced by his investment at this time.
I stockmen point out. Wool, although
commanding a good figure now, la
i showing a very unsettled tendency east
and foodstuffs, especially meats, are
wavering in the markets ot the eoun-
try.
WASHINGTON-. May t Angus
McLean, director of the war finance
corporation, was questioned today in
