OG. IAUL, may 1, 1910.
EDITOR JouRNAL.-In my last
letter promised to give in this my
understanding Of the bonded situation
Of these roads and the bearing thereof
on our future prospects.
To obtain all the information pos
sible, I have talked the matter over
with many Of the parties in interest
with all who could, as I believed,
throw any light on the sutherland
have also carefully read the printed
complaints and answers in the law.
suits now pending. 1t is my opinion
that most, if not all, ofthe present lit
igation is entirely unnecessary on the
part Of the bondholders, and I believe
it was the imperative duty of our last
Legislature to have taken this matter
into careful consideration, and that
it was the duty particularly Of Mr..
Chas. A. Gilman and all the mem
bers from the Sank Valley to have
pursued course different from what
they did in connection Herewith.
But as I shall refer hereafter to the
action and probable motives therefor
of each member personally, I will
leave it for your readers to judge
them after they shall read what !

The majority of these bonds were
placed on the German and Holland
markets and sold under the manage
ment and direction of the banking
house Of Lipman, Rosenthal & Co.. of
Amsterdam. This house from all ap-
pearances formed 4 syndicate, or
Ring-to put it as it ought to be,
and as / think the result will show.
Lipman, Rosenthal & Co. had their
confidential agents in this country
who were posting them all the time
in every way and as to all the details
of what was going on. One of these
agents was a director for six years,
and another was resident of ST..

were the master spirits which dictated
the amount and issues of three-quar-
tiers of all these bonds and mortgages.

shows; for the bonds which were

July, 1873, from 70 to 80 cents on
the dollar are now selling for seven
cents, or seventy dollars for each one
thousand dollar certificate; and advices
from Amsterdam are that the Com

chasing these deprecated bonds

most of them in hand-that they in
fact are the real bondholders, made
such at very low figures.
If they can procure a foreclosure

worth much more than they have

solo effects; fine power of expression
smooth, even and sympathetic tones, and
thorough workmanship. They were

Other American organs in competition

the tones and workmanship being both
inferior. In comparison, il was said
Judged leniently, they do not rise
above respectable mediocrity." This
was undoubtedly the most extensive,
