OREGON PACIFIC ROTTENNES


hard times not set 10, and other favor
able contingencies taken place, be
might have done better. But the sue
eessfIl general foresees a period Of short
rations aud the good ship captain reefs
his sails for a storm. The main fact re-
mains that Judge Fullerton did not fix
Hadley's salary in advance, and did
not demand to haye the pay rolls SUBJ
mitted to him before they were or
dered paid
A POLITICIAN AND A.
Well, we were going to say liar, bat
that is probably too plain language.
Here are few more disclosures from
the Albany Herald, and The people can
judge for themselves about the gentle
man referred to:
In an interview with the Salem
Statesman Judge McFadden says
good deal without saying much.
He says he did not nominate Judge
( Fullerton, but he does not say that he
did not write the Times article which
elected him aud defeated Judge Pipes.
The judge Is politician aud hardly
cIres 70 have il known that he knitted
the nominee of his party.
He says ne was never in the employ
Of Mr.. Hadley, yet the editor Of this
paper heard him when he appeared in
curt to plead for Mr.. Hadley's reten-
ton in Office, and in the course of that
plea be admitted that he had opposed
the enterprise from its Inception.
He refers to the attorneys fees for
Col. Hogg's receivership as being $685.
900. A gentleman who has examined
the Benton county records, says those
fees were not one-third Of the amount
named. That to make up that figure
he must have taken into consideration
the referees fees, sheriff7s fees, trustees
fees aud trustees attorneys fees and
several fees for attorneys for services
rendered prior TO the receiyership. If
this is true Mr.. McFadden's statement
is utterly unfair, for he has not includ-
ed similar items when referring to Mr..
Hadley's expenses.
He says Fay & Gest's bill of $4s 900
was against the bondholders' commit
tee, and not against the receiver, but
he fails to state that the bill was first
filed with Hon. Joseph Simon, the
referee, against the receiver, prior to
the downfall of the Hadley regime, and
when it became evident that little
money was TO be hoped for from the
Oregon Pacific, they filed the bill
against the committee. If the road
had sold for enough to pay the court
debts, as they hoped aud expected, who
doubts that the road would have had
to pay this outrageous claim.
Ingeniously worded interviews will
not satisfy the public. Frank, manly,
unbiased utterances will only be be-
lieved.
! PRESS COMMENT.
The former receivers Of the o. p.
road have been reoklessly eXtrayagant
and supplied their friends with fat pos.
itions, aud IL Is no wonder the em-
I ployes and material men are behind
with their wages.-Roseburg Review.
The Salem JOURNAL Is beginning to
quiet down in itS attacks on Judge Full
lerton. 1t made a struggle for notoriety
to "raise hi and sell newspapers" !"
but its TRADE against Fullerton will
undoubtedly prove mallclous.-Eugene
Register.
These newspaper commorants can
not rise above the idea that all that is
done In this world is for personal ends.
The editor Of the JOURNAL is not ao-
qualuted with Judge Fullerton and
could entertain no more malice toward
him than toward an unborn child.
Our opinions are expressed In this mat
ter from the standpoint Of impersonal
criticism entirely. Il is not as a citizen
that Judge Fullerton has subjected
himself to criticism, but as high OFF,
cal OF the state.
THE ROADS EARNINGS.
From Hadley's report It further ap-
pears that the total earnings from ocean
rydi aud river divisions from March,
1888, To January, 1894, was SlTl ,046,
with total expenses In the same divis-
ions Of $3.50, ,9O9, making the expenses
exceed the receipts by S59,s6S, Court
convenes here IN special term today
aud the report will probably be taken
up AZ that time,
rHE NEW rIME.CARD.
The new time-card ON the Oregon
Pacific goes Into effect today. Que
mixed train will he run daily, each
way, between Yaquina aud Detroit, SIS
miles beyond Albany, instead Of pass
