TnE OREGON PAcHtc AGAN-There
seems to have been.a misconeeption oi
what was said by counsel at the session
of court lately held in Corvallis in which
the o p sale matter was considered. w c
are informed by one who was present and
took in the whole situation that Judge
Bryson urged on behalf of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company that the time
for fixing the day of sale be postponed
for 30 or 60 days, and at the conclusion
the court inquired if any other counsel
had anything to say touching the ms tier,
when Mr. Wallis Nash arose and said the
proposition OF counsel was vague and in
definite and without effect for it con-
templated finding purchasers at the sale
from the old bondholders and certificate
holders whose dieagreements aud quar-
rels for the last three or four years
seemed entirely irreconcilabie. He said
he had a we'll grounded belief that new
cash purchaser could be secured provided
the court wonld fix the day of sale at the
earliest date practicable for cash and
without loading the order down with en-
. barrassing conditions. He further ex-
pressed the belief that If the sale should
be made on these terms to the parties the
: counsel had in mind they would he ready
: and willing TO make fair arrangements
with laborers and those who have claims
I for material furnished the receiver, az
they had already shown q disposition

was not making these statements under
instructions from Col Hogg or any other
Of the parties to the present litigation.
