FRIDAY


referring to the interview with Mr Gee
G bingham published ia the daily DEMO
GRAFT OF the 29th instant Mir C C Hoguc
says:
Mr. Bingham no doubt believer he is
giving new version Of the o P matter;
but a reading of the secret report of MIR Z
,, w Hadley to the Blair W harton faction,
last October will show conclusiyely that
Mr. Bingham infornsant drew on that
document for his facts and fancies and moi
on the court records at torvallis.-Ihe re-
ports TO the court made by Col Hogg while
receiver, from time to time and the steno.
graphic report Of IN, examination for eight
days on the accents Of the Oregon Pacific
and of the receiver are ali on ile and can lie
seen by anyone
These reports are very full and complete
even to detail in strong contrast with those
filed by his successor,
Ii Mr. Bingham had examined these he
would have found detailed statements OF
every certificate issued by Col Hogg and
the purpose for which il was issued
OF these over $500. COO were issued for
judgments. pay rolls, bills, etc. incurred
prior to the receiyership of Col Hogg.
sl50, 900 were for the purchase of the !; S
Willamette VALLEY.
The eopstaaEz has hem 20 make il
appear Tint Col Hogg incurred al thissin
debtedness during his receiyership. and Mr.
Bingham lends himself TO the same decep-
ton. Not Intentionally, am snra, becapse
no respectable attorney would do 10. aud |
am told Dir Bingham stands well il his
profession, no doubt he has been imposed
upon.
For instance the figures be gives as the
Indebtedness Of receiver Hadley al the close
of his reesiysrship are identical with those
given by Mr. Hadley in the report referred

tober lst, lsqS Mr. iiadley went cut Jan

ed unchanged all those months:
The figures he gives as the amounts due
the various counties for taxes are ta'sen
from page e3 Of thai reptrt and are not
correct. so am informed.
Mr Bingham might have said the court
records show that most of the Indebtedness
was incurred prior not only TO Mr. HadIcy's
reCeivsrship but 10 Col Hogg's receivership
