The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1875-11-05
INQUIRIES ANSWERED.


wish to ask you q few Questions 1
which would like to have you answer
at your earliest convenience.
First. When the Bulletin was sus-
pended, why did you not make some
mention of it? We, its subscribers,
living OH this obscure, isolated, rock
bound Shore were in ignorance forsev-z
eral weeks as to the cause of its nOn-ap-
pearance.
Second. IL it true, as we have heardI
that Mr.. Corbett bought the mortgage
on the Bulletin and would not accept of
further security, but closed it out, in
stead? 4 ...,.-- .-..-,,-t t5-rsE
Third. Is II. w. Scott, Esq, editor of
the Oregonians
Fourth. Is it true, as has been as
serted, that L. F. Lane is Catholic?
Those articles from the pen Of o. z.
Mason, on ''Science and Art, recently
published in the NEW NORTHWEST,
were highly interesting. Can you not
induce him to continue them?
Can you not procure series of articles
on different subjects, such as historical,
biographical geological ETC., etc. :?
Such subjects interest every one, and
would be new feature in Oregon liter
ature, and need not say popular one.
Ever yours for freedom and progress,

We not only consider it a duty, but
deem it a pleasure to furnish-informa-
tion as far as we are able to do to our
readers, and especially to our patrons
and co-workers, upon subjects of public
interest sufficient to warrant us in occu-
pying the space of the NEW NORTH
WEST in stating questions and rendering
replies; and as some of the above seem
to do this, we cheerfully furnish such
information as we are able to give.
|, In reply to the first question, we sub
nit the following extract from our issue
of September 10th, the first after the
suspension of the Bulletin THAT event
occurring on or about the 9th of the
same month): "The Bulletin, urged by
financial stress, suspended publication
on Monday morning. Whether the
suspension is temporary or permanent,
we are not advised.n The fact is, this is
all we knew about the matter, and all
we know about it to this day, Plainly
stated, it would perhaps run somewhat
in this wise: 1t takes money to run a
newspaper, and no small sum to run a
daily against powerful competition.
The money of the concern run out, and
the doors of the Bulletin Publishing
Company were closed by foreclosure Of
a mortgage that they could not lift.
Hence, the suspension ofthe Daily ana
Weekly Bulletin. @ tla
Reliable information as to the future
of the paper, if a future is in store for it,
has not since been obtainable-the ere
while subscribers living at Nehalem
knowing just as much about it as that
: class of anxious and expectant individ-
uals residing in this CITY, Reports anC
f counter-reports have followed each othel
so rapidly that it has been impossible
to get the first in type and distributed
? again in time to make room for tht
second, So we have left the bootless ant
( uncertain task to our contemporaries
and sorry time some of them have haC
e in the endeavor to give their readers re
/ liable information on the subject. W.
e will venture, however, to give 70
: what it is worth report that reaches
! us this morning, saying that the publ
0 cation of the Bulletin is to be resumet
r next week, with Mr.. S. ]. McCoEmicl
as business manager, and James o. O'Mear
as editor. " -F- --
, We are reliably informed that MI
S Corbett did not buy the mortgage al
Z Iuded to, and as money is we'll known t
e be a potent agency in rendering sucl
+" instruments powerIess, we presume tina
money would lift the mortgage, whoeve
may be the possessor thereof s.r
To the third question, we answer nc
Mr.. Scott has held no relations, bushes
f or editorial, with the Oregonian sine
4 he publicly resigned the position as edi
4 tor of that Journal three years ago. ''
! To the fourth question, we answe
that although we have never intel
. viewed Mr.. Lane concerning his relig
A ious opinions, we believeth that he is ger
. orally understood to be a. Catholic; 1
, fact, as far as we know, his most arden
T. partisans admit, or at least do not den
= it. Certain it is that he received th
Z entire Catholic vote of the State at th
= recent election. '''''-
!. 1t is QUITE possible that the articl,
n spoken of in such complimentary term
"A will be continued when the author
time permits, and as to the. rest, we ar
,o as our readers well know always please
to receive contributions to these co
umns from any one who, in addition
as having something to say, knows how
1t, say it in manner that will interest,
as instruct. We find it not only to aeeol
ar with our iuelipations, but to be an &C
ne ual necessity to rely chiefly upon ol
as own judgment in conducting this jou
ee nal, but while this is imperative, v
a nevertheless feel duly grateful for kind
1t criticism, and suggestions, as eYineiI
