OREGON IMPROVEMENT co.
Whereabouts OF the Transfer Books
Causes Speculation.

whereabouts OF the Transfer Books
Causes Speculation.
~ York, June 6.-The whereabouts
of the transfer books and stock list
of the Oregon Improvement company
caused considerable speculation in finan-
cial and railroad circles here. Accord
ing to the best information obtainable
here, they have not reached Portland,
Ore, where they were sent last month.
Althoug.. the officers of the company
made affidavits that the transfer books
and stock iIsts were not in New York
state, having been sent to Portland
before the books were finally closed
for the annual election. the follow
ing dispatch firm the representative of
the stockholders proxy committee at
Portland shows that they have not
been received at Portland: 'sHave
mailed list tonight. Books not up to
date and secretary says he has re-
ceived nothing from New York cince
April Books are apparently beng
held back in New York"
President Starbuck, of the Oregon
Improvement company, was greatly
surprised when tod the books were
necessary. He probably sent FOR his
clerk who had attended to the forward
ing and looked UP his letter books
Those books were sent to Port
land, said Mr.. Starbuck, after he had
looked up the facts, "and I can GER
tlfy 10 1t. Here is the date in the let

Arnin in Onerafion.

After an idleness of several months,
the plant of the Salt Lake Pressed
Brick company is again in operation,
and it is hardly likely that there will
be any close down during the summer
season. Fires have been kindled in the
furnaces of the great down draft kiln
of the company and the burning of
brick is now in progress. On account
of the slowness of the building ma
terial market it is not the intention
of the management to put out the full
capacity of the works, but rather to
curtail operations in such a manner
that the supply of the market will

Alleged That it Wrecked the Hous-
ton and Texas.

Washington. June 6.-The case of S. w.
Carey and others, stockholders of the
Houston & Texas railroad company,
against the present management OF that
company and various other parties, in
Guiding the Southern Pacific Railroad
company and c. I. Huntington, which
has been before the federal courts OF
IeXas for the past seven years, has
reached the United States supreme court
on an application for a writ of error to
the circuit court of appeals for the Fifth
circuit, made by the original plaintiffs.
The basis of the proceedings is the al
legged wreckage of the Houston road in
the interest of the Southern Pacific The
Houston road was organized originally
as the Galveston & Red River and re-
ceived a grant of land amounting in the
aggregate to 5.5G0,009 acres. The road was
absorbed by the Southern Pacific and it is
alleged in the complaint that it was so
manipulated as TO reduce the value of
the stock rola IS ctlls on the dollar to
Is cents.
The lands Of the company were sold
under a foreclosure alleged to have been
irregular, and at prices which are stated
to be far below the real value. The
plaintiffs ask TO have the decree for the
sale of the lands set aside and also pray
for other relief. The decision of the
courts below have been against the plain
tiffs. They claim to own $570000 worth of
the stock of the Houston * Texas road.

It is anticipated that by the end of the

indications ars now that the plant will be
closed until that time when the orders

that one plant is not able to take care OF
all of the business. The works have been

The executive committee of the Provo
Wooden Mills company held an important
pose of discussing some matters of a pri-
Vate nature in connection with the prices
of the products of the company. Superin-

Attorney E. p. sanborn.

e. P. Sanborn, representing Oliver
Ames second and other first mortgage
bondholders, followed Mr.. Storey on
the other side. He said the Loan com
pany represented only II per cent of
the Short Line and S2,360,000 on the
four branches, while the larger inter-
est was on behalf Of those who oppose
the appointment of the separate re-
ceiver. The present receivers were
familiar with the road and Mr.. Egan
or any other new receiver who might
be appointed would have a great deal
to learn before he could manage the
road as efficiently as the present re-
ceivers.
The bondholders represented by Mr.
Sanborn, he said, strenuously objected
to any change which would burden
them with further expense. The Utah
court was not bound to follow the or
der Of the other courts as to the pro-
perty within its jurisdiction. If a sep
arate receiver should be determined
upon by the court, the bondholders re-
ferred to objected to the conditions of
issue of the receivers certificates as
asked by the Loan company: and
these bondholders held about $500 900
bonds under this same consolidated
mortgage which the loan company is
proceeding under. Mr.. Sanborn in
sisted that there never had been a
case where, under objection such as
made here, a court had ordered re-
ceiyer's certificates for the purpose
asked for here. The test of the right
to issue certificates was the necessity
therefor, but the object here was not
a necessity to preserve the property or
keep the road in operation. If the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-06-07

pany could choose what portions OF
the company il would take. He sug-
gested that under such condition the
Utah Southern extension, not being
a paying road, would not be taken
hold of, and it's bonds would thus Zoe
destroyed. Mr.. Williams insisted that
If the present receivers should be sup
erceded, the courts order should re-
quire that every section of the short
Line be included and take direction
of the properties to which the receiver
ship should extend. Otherwise the
stockholders and bondholders would be
at the mercy of the advisers of the
receiver, who naturally would select
their own interests first, regardless of
the injury to others. Under the scheme
proposed here by the Loan company.
the receiver could exclude himself
from the jurisdiction of the court,
leaving the interests of the road here
sacrificed and ruined. The proposed
receiver, Mr.. Egan. was a stranger
here, and Mr.. Williams believed the
court ought to appoint one, if any,
who was better acquainted with local
matters.
John A. Marshall
Attorney John A Marshall then pro-
ceeded on behalf of the American
Loan and Trust company. He recited
the institution of the four chief cases,
al which time the gentlemen on the
other side were not so anxious as now
to have Salt Lake city considered as
a place of central interest in this pro-
ceeding. The mortgage under which
the Loan company was acting was a
first mortgage on the Utah Central.
Utah & Nevada and Salt Lake and
Western railways. The only thing that
stood in the way of these roads being
taken possession of, under the con-
tract, by the Loan company was the
receivership. The suit by which the
five receivers were appointed was
collusive suit, and the parties did not
represent any of the creditors of the
Union Pacific. He urged that as to
these roads the claim of the Loan COM
pany to a receiver was a right which
could not be denied.
lie Grand Young.
Mr.. Marshall was followed by At
torney lie Grande Young, who strongly
opposed the issuance of receiv-
ers' certificates as being unfair to
the present bondhOlders. He charac-
teriZed the proposition as good
scheme for the trust company but dis
honest. Giving the trust company an
option to take or reject any of the
branches of the road he condemned in
strong language and said it was dis
approved of by the other bondholders.
Mr.. Storey-If we agree to take all
the road would you withdraw your

in the case. I would prefer any con-
cessiOn to come from them.
With the closing of Mr.. Young's ar
gument court adjourned till 10 o'clock
this morning. when Mr.. Pierce will
resume the arguments against the sep |
arate receivershfp. MIR. Kellogg will
follow on behalf of the trust company,
and the closing will be with Messrs.
Thurston and Storey.

Threatened to Send Them to Jail


Just as Attorney lie Grand Young
was concluding his arguments Mr..
Storey interrupted with some remark
relative to what had occurred at the
hearing of the case at Portland and
St Paul. Mr.. Pierce replied, disagree
ing with Mr.. Storey's statement. Mr..
Pierce insisted that it was in the
transcript, and the following dialogue
took place:
Mr.. StOrey-No, it wasn't.
Mir. Pierce (emphatically)-Yes it
was.
Mr. storey-WeH, if it comes to that,
I say it was not.
Mr.. Pierce Gn q low but meaning
tone)-You are a liar.
Judge Merritt-Gentlemen this must
stop or I'll send you both to Jail. We
must have order in this court.
Mr.. Storey beg your honOr's par
don.
Mr.. Pierce-I also ask the courts
pardon.
Judge Merritt-All right, but don't
let ii occur again.
The arguments then proceeded.

Denver, June "a special to the
Republican from Santa Fe, n. NJ,
says:
at a meeting of the Santa Fe and
Cochiti Railway company today, E. H.
Bergman ives elected president, Sam
ueI Eldodt, vice-president; James P.
Purdy, secretary, and Herman. Claus
sen, treasurer. An engineer and his
assistants will begin next week to sur
vey the line of road from Santa Fe
to White Rock canyon, and thence to
Bland and also to locate the two dams
in the White Rock canyon and the
ditch lines of the Rio Grande Electric
Power company. Thorough examina-
tions in the Cochiti mining district
have been completed. There is found
to be 100000 tons of ore actually in
sight that will pay for shipment and
profitable reduction at the plant down
the river. The freight on this alone
guarantees several times the cost of
building the road, and that the guam
tity of pay ore in the district is prac-
tically inexhaustable there is no
longer any doubt. This guarantees the
achievements contemplated by these
splendid enterprises.
