THE AMERICAN Blill.MNG AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION.
A local branoh of the Anier. Build. 4
Lobu Aesoc'n has reoently been organ
ized in Heppuer, and many of our best
business men have takeu out stock aud
agreed to act as directors on the looal
board.
The Association is one of the largest in
the United States, and since September
have issued about 25,000 shares in Ore
gon and Waahingtoa Territory. Stock
holders are enabled to obtain loans at
6 per cent, interest on seven years time,
with the privilege of repaying at any
time on givitig 30 days notice to the Com
pany. The cash value of real estate is
advanced for the purpose of building
homes or business blocks, and a borrower
is given six months in which to pay up
back payments. This enables working
men and people who depend upon
salaries to build homes for themselves
and pay for them in small monthly pay
meats at a oheap rate of interest.
It also affords a speculator the ad
vantage of improving property wbioh he
does not wish to sell, thereby making
the improvements pay for themselves,
bisides bringing him in an income on
rents, etc., enhancing the value by so
doing.
This has the advantage over a home
ompuny, for the reason that it brings
outside money into town and saves the
.commissions usually oharged by loan
compnnys.
With the advantage of having a branch
of the ArctM3tiKdii)g and Loan As
sociation in Heppner, many more sub
stantial buildings should be erected
during the oomiug season than would be
if it did not exist.
THE III 11,111 N'(i AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.
On last Monday, the following officers
and direotors were appointed for the
Heppner branoh of The American Build
ing and Loan Association: President,
H. Blackman; Vioe Pres., E. K. Swin
burne; Treasurer, Ed. B. Bishop; Sea
retary, A. A. Roberts; Directors, H.
Blackman, E. It. Swinburne, Ed. B.
Bishop, Otis Patterson, 0. M. Mallory,
Nelson Jones, O. W. Lord and J. H.
Stauley.
It ploasos the Gazettk to' see the man
ner in which our business men are
taking hold of this matter, which is to
ns sufficient guarantee f an immense
growth in lloppner. Such moves at
tract the attoution of enterprising men
of the oulside world, without whom we
oan scarcely expect imy great develop
ment. Every live cilizcn desires to have
people ot means aud enterprise como to
our town, consequently, the organization
of Ihe Loan aud Building Association
was comparatively an easy matter.
KU ilHKKN TOWNSHIPS NO WILLIAM
SON till KEP LAW.
Representative Fell's bill, asking for
fifteen townships from Uraut county to
be added to Morrow, failed to reach oou
sideintiun of the Senate before niljonru'
meut. Th s is to be regretted, not only
by the reaidenls of the desired territ. ry
but by every resident of Morrow county.
As the Williamson sheep bill failed to
beooine a luw, it does not leave us in the
piokle that it would had it been other
wise.
I here was a disposition shown by
members from agricultural couuties, aud
sections where adequate rantre is found
within the boundaries of the several
counties, to pass the letter. At some
future session, perhaps, two years hence,
this bill, or something similar, will be
made a law.

Editor Gazette:
It beoomes my duty to answer Mr.
Fell's last lotter, iu vindication uf myself.
If you will grant me the privilege of
space iu your paper, I shall be under
many obligations to you; and, before go-
iug any further, 1 will give you a memo
randum of the dutit s and powers dele
gated to the c.Muinitleo of three by the
subsidy people, and that was tame by
five or six men staudiug ou Main street.

1, Nelson Jones, aud I, J. L, Morrow,
and I, Wm. Penlaiid, hereby agree and
promise to each person who sigus a note
for the purpo3.) ot raising money to pur-
chaao tho right-of-way aud depot
grounds for tho O. R. & N. R. R. to aud
through the town ot Heppner, that we
w 11 refund pro rata to each persou
from the amount paid by them all sur
plus money collected over and above the
necessary expeuuus iu procuring the said
right-ol-wuy and depot grounds.
J. L. Moimow,
Nklhon Jonks,
Wm. Pinlanu.
The above is a strict uud correct copy
of our duties as trustees. You will no
tice that our duties are limited. We
were uot authorized to do a general real
estate business tor the subsidy people,
taking aud giving deeds, signing vouub
ers, bouds, notes, etc. In the meantime,
right-of-way matters were freely discuss
ed, aud work commenced in due time.
The building ot the road ntjjM it
necessary to buy some property JSf pp
ner for right-of-way and depot grounds.
Some time prior to this purchase, Mr.
Fell originated a little document winch
lie afterwards chained was an agreement.
It is certainly a legal document in evsry
souse ot the word. No ordinary legal
mind could formulate a document of
that kind, ror the want of a belter legal
name, we will call it Fell' Daisy. Well,
Daisy was conceived under the most
favorable conditions, heuca, the beauty
of the child. I will give you the form
thereot with no date.
COPT.
We, the undersigned, approve ot the
depot grounds iu Heppner, the south
suit to tie upon ths street next to Dr.
Shipley' fence, at a oost net exceeding
$0,4(10 for depot gronuds and right-of-way
from Fergusou's to Shipley 's.

See what an army of poisonous old
Lames, trying to give respectability to a
document like thu, representing eT,4HJ
with a grave duly to perform, leully an
insult to "Daisy's" (iitur usefulness.
Well, in due time tho "wet nurse" car
ried ''Daisy" oil, put her to sleep, and
that was the last heard of her for weeks.
Every thing prepared and ready, Mr.
Fell steps iu as right-of-way man aud
buys thu property, uud has it deeded to
himself. Some time after this trans
action, Mr. Fell eauie to Heppner aud
wanted the subsidy people to oome to
s him at his otUoe for the purpose of
talking over this . land deal, and, if pos
sible, make a settlement. Mr. J. M.
Huger asked Mr. Fell to deed to the sub
scribers the laud that tue 8.),4O0 pur
chased. Fell said the fe.5,40!) tor the
right-of-way was charged directly to him
and not to the subscribers, and the
ranker would i;c bo made unless his
report was accepted by Morrow, Jouos
aud I't-nland. tell claimed thai he was
uot acliug for the compauy or the sub-
iciibers, but acting or imnscir, auu ao
kiiowh dired that he intended to get in a
job on account of the action of somo ot
the subscribers. During this conversation
I' elf spoke up aud said that no Had an
agreement signed by the principal sub
scribers of Heppner allowing him the
(fTi,4'JU for right-of-way, etc., with every
thing pei laming to ttiu purchase, mis
was a stunner; "Daisy" squawked, 1
supposed sue was uoau. iui
first we had nearu oi ner uir neons, on
pretty child had grown to be ugly aud
squabby, full of conceit and impudence,
aud demanded ever) thing. Well, this
oouferenoe broke up, and wa failed to
make a settlement. We all went noma
soured and indignunt on account of the
actions of Fell. Some time after this,
Fell name bkmu and brought an unom-
oial statement, which I refused to sign on
account of the manner in wtncu it was
made out. The item or items with the
numbers of the drafts and Fell's name
at the head, aggregating 85,400, didn't
suit me. Fell must uot think tor a mo
ment while he was trying to worn me,
or, in other words, "cap" me into Biguing
tins dooument, tuui i uiuu i uuunuu
what be was after. I failed to sign no
settlement this time bell went away,
and in about four weeks came baok; but,
mark you, not unlit tne rauroau whs
built to Lexington, aud work being done
for at least two miles this side. In tho
meuntime I was invited into Mr. Fell s
oflice again. He remarked that now was
a good time to make settlement, as the
road was now at Lexington, and would
soon be in. The deed being in his name,
I asked him why be didu't deed the
right-of-way and depot grounds to the
oompany through these lands. Fell
said, not a railroad should run across his
land until they paid for right-of-way.
One more stunner. Well, I left, with
the measles; for he said unless this niat
inr .van nettled, he would stop the rail
road at the Ferguson line and make all
the money out of it heoould. The reader
will understand that the road was vir
tually here, no judge to be had to con-
demu the property. We might he liable
for damages, and J) ell uuuersioou mis,
,i,i,l took advantage of it for the purpose
of forcing his peculiar kind of settle
ment. 1 left mm again, uiiuaing a
would stay away, but, some time iu the
afteruoon of next day, Mr. Fell met me
again, with a smile on his faoe reaohiug
from one ear to the other, his faoe look
ing like a full moon. I think the smile
shoved biB ears at least two inches out
of pluoe. I oouldu't resiHt that smile; I
promised to go, but before I visited bis
office again I went to see Mr. Hager and
Harrington and took tuem along as wit
nesses to what I said. I went again to
bis ollioe, and said this: "Mr. t ell, tne
deeds are all iu vour nume. Now, wliut
1 want you to do is this; make a aeeu
to the oompany for the right-of-way uud
depot grounds through this lund, and
said I didn't know that he would be
bothered about the fruotions. He at
mino onid. "1 will do it." I said to him,
"mnUe out the deed immediately." It
wim dime, anil I went to see Mr. Rea and
Mr. Ellis and asked them to see that the
HeerlH were all right. They met in ltdliH
office. Iu the meantime, 1 met Fell on
the street again, and be said it would be
neoossary for me to Bigu a vouoher. I
.liiln't, think it was really necessary, but
I told him 1 would sign it. About this
time I think I would have signed a
mountain, anvthing to get rid of him,
Mr. Rea held one doed, Mr. Ellis the
other. The vouoher aud deod was com
pared and pronounced correct, and
signed, the vouoher as being a oopy of
tjje body of the deed, aud I signed it us
plain J. L. Morrow, not J. L. Morrow,
trustee. If the trustee has been written
there Biuoe, I emphatically protest. I
wiih the oulv trustee presout. The
reader will notioe that I never offered
him 5,400 nor any other amount, but
the voucher was the most beautiful
writing you ever saw. It looked so in
nocent, virtuous, honest and lamb-like,
(VjMj 0,iOO sduok aown Ul tue euu ol ii.
I think it was disoouueotcd with the lust
sentenoo; that 80,400 looked as big as
mule. About four weeks after the rotid
was in, Watt came uloug with the same
old rotten statement that Fell had here,
nt least two mouths before. This time I
signed the paper, the amounts being cor
rect, but utterly and emphatically re
pudiated Fell's name in connection with
those amounts drafts No. 2,012, 2,014,
2,031, 2,033 and 2,027. Fully a month
alter Watt was here, the oompany sent
us mi otliaial Btatemeut, approved by
Mr. Holoomb and Willoy. For tho edi
fication of the readers of this article, and
also for the purpose of explaining, I will
givo you the maimer of making out the
several statements of Mr. Fell's land
deal iu Heppner:
Veil's. Aug. Hth, drafts No. 2,612,
2 014, 2,031, 2,033 and 2,027; total, 85,400.

Jones, 81100; lot 3, block 3, Loouey ad
dition, 8300; total, 85,400.
O. R. & N. Co. Buyer & Smith, 8500;

J. N. Junes, 8300; Dr. Ritohey, 81,000;
S. Florence, lot 3, blook 3, Looney's ad
dition, 8300; total, 85,400; nil amounting
to the Binne. The company has it ns
follows: Wm. Mitchell, 1,200; Loouey,
82,000; Buyer's, loss 840, makiug 83,240
for right-of-way aud depot grounds.
My understanding in that lioyer gave a
note to the Biibsidy people for 840, and
in buying .his property, his note was
given up. The balauoe, 8200, was paid;
henoe, the draft of Smith & Buyer, 8500.
See the oouipany's statement.
Mr. Fell claims bis transactions were
all honorable; no scheming, no trying to
take advantage of his ueigliuors. J
w ould like to ask some questions. First,
I will now ask Mr. Fell how it was that
the little dooument we call "Daisy" wus
conceived and signed by twenty of our
people nt an early day, without an ex
iiliiuutiou? (None made tome.) I was
overtlowing with ooufldouce at that time,
and I presume nearly nil the balance
were iu the same bout. The child looked
so pretty, honest and iuuooent, no one
oould help from signing it, I didu't ask
him. but niv idea was that he wiuited it
aa a oliih to hold over our heads to keep
us from growling about the prices lie
would have to pay. j
Second. Why did you buy all this
property and have it deeded to yourself?
Third. Wheu you first came up ami
invited the people into your office you
refused to deed the laud over to the sub
scribers, and asserting it was your own
and bought for your own use aud ueue-s
tit. At this iuuoture of the oonver-'
ntion, "Daisy" peeped out ami squawked,
oliuming everything, aud you also said
you intended a job. ( I oan prove this.)
r ourtu. v uy uui you come agniu
with an unofiiciul statement, not item
ized? Was it not done for tho purpose
of slipping iu on the blind side of the
committee to get them to sign the doou-
nieut, and by so doing legalize your
truusaotious? Well, it appears the
statement job didn't win.
Fifth. Why did you wait uutil the
railroad was at Lexington, aud work be
iug done at least two miles this skle?
Was it not done for the purpose ot roro-
ing us into measures? This time you
changed your taotios. The voucher
dodge was your game at tuis meeting.
Well, 1 signed it line a nine man.;
ow, vou are getting "Daisy" more solid.
Sixth. Whv was it that Wattoame up
after the road was oompleted into Hepp
ner with the same old unofficial docu
ment ? This time I aigued, but repudi
ated. S4veuth. Now. Mr. Fall, is it not a fact
thai von drew these drafts ou our oredit;
or, iu other words, on the credit we bad
nth the railroad oompany ami nau
-Daisy" oiying out for her rights in the
meantime, oappiug around me w gei
them legalized so that you oould pat
"Daisy" to Bleep, together with the little
vouoher, aud 01 aim everytumg as sonar
Now, Mr. Fell, please bring us the
original little doemment we oall "Daisy."
Some people seem to donbt the genu
iness of the ohild.
Now, the vouoher uud statement all
being signed, Fell says we aie fnt-t: you
as mnnh as say ao. I auy, uot. In the
first place, I signed the voucher as being
a oopy of the deed. In the seoond place,
I signed it J- L. Monow, piaiu. In the
third place, I had no morn nulil Iu sign
that voucher than any one else uf the
subsidy people. I am not contending
on aooonnt of the vast sum ot money to
be made out of it, still if the subsidy
people had their righls. it would help
them very mjich; but it is tl' low, eon
temptible way in which they Ivnve tried
to handle me for the pn-imse of carrying
out their pretty littb Bcheim for a small
amonnt of money, spiuuin around like
a lot of little, laughing jinneys. trying to
"cap" me into sign the documents men
tioned above. A suit in equity will open
this up from beginning to end, notwith
standing vouolierj and deeds being
signed.
Now, Mr. Fell s last a.tie'e ai.tii-nrs to
be wormy, and sickly looting. I don't
like to attack it. I see nothing in it,
exoept he as much as sajs tho thing is
fast. Perhaps it is. Ilia little article is
full of hints and insinuations. He hints
at something I said nearly sii mouihs
ago. Under certain conditions of miud
I am liable to say uviuy things. He as
much as says I am iufinenoed. It may
be; if I Bin, I don't know it. As a rule,
I mil not; but 1 will : lins, tout I i-tand
on my own bottoai, and am responsible
for what 1 any. I don t wish you per
sonally any harm, fori am of the opinion
that you are a tool iu ihe hands of other
parties; others originaK', and you are
put forward to execute.
