Objections Made to the Confirmation of
the Sale

Corvallis, Or, Dec 2S.-L, Flynn, for
himself and the Oregon Pacific and
Willamette Valley and Coast Railroad
companies, has filed objections to the
confirmation of the Oregon Pacific sale
on the grounds that the purchasers by
circulating in New York report that
million and quarter had been sub
scribed to purchase the property and
pay all claims, had prevented others
from bidding; that after their repre-
sentatives had started for Oregon, they
re.eded from an agreement, and that
to prevent Vermilly & Co., holders of
the receivers certificates, from intcrfer-
ing with the sale they agreed to pro-
tect them against loss; that the puLli-
cation of the notice of sale in New
York and the certified check deposited
with the sheriff were regular, and that
the amount of the bid was inadequate,
being onsy about one-seventh of the
value of the property. Receiver HAD
