4 SEATTLE MAN NAMED,
Receiver for the Oregon Inn
proVement Company
Appointed.
Failure to Pay Interest on Consoll-
dated Bonds the Cause of
This Move.

SEATTLE, WASH. Oct. 4.-The Oregon
Improvement Company, an extensive
owner and operator of mines, railroads and
steamboat lines, is in the hands of re-
ceiver.
This afternoon Judge Hanford, of the
United States District Court, named C. j..
Smith for the important post, upon ap-
plication through its local counsel of the
Farm ers' Loan and Trust Company of
New York.
Mr.. Smith, who resides in Seattle, has
for several years been manager for the
co mpany. He served as such under the
Starbuck management. which was sup
planted several months ago by that of
Elijah Smith.
The receiver gave bonds in the sum of
100000, his sureties being II. Z. Henry, N.
ii. Latimer, E. 0. Graves and M. F.
Backus.
The application for receiver was based
upon the Oregon improvement Company's
failure to pay October interest, due the
first of the month, upon the consolidated
bonds. Few anticipated such a result, as
the company, under the new management,
was supposed to be prospecting.

THE earth is given as a common

Judge a. S. johnson. Of the eastern

Hornaday here, which expresses some
very strong opinions on the way
western Republicans have been bam-
bOozled by the gold power. The letter
rs as follows:
GJRARD, KAs., Aug. 10.
Captain W. H HOrnaday, Topeka, Kas.
SIR: l write to thank you person
ally for the very able address issued
by your committee to the Republican
voters of the state. But | regret
exceedingly that it has thus far
received no wider circulation. In
deed, it appears to NE that it has been
practically ignored by our local press,
I hope you may be able to have them
crinted in pamphlet form for general
distribution.
Why is it, would like to ask, that
50 many men whom we have trusted
and looked upon for leadership at
present seem TO be in league with the
powers of darkness on this question.
effecting as it does, not only our
present condition, but that of our
pOsterity? have in mind certain
congressman who was compelled,
while making his canvass last fall, to
declare in favor of free coinage, whom
l understand recently made gOldbug
speech at a soldiers reunion. So it is
you see the old soldiers, many of whom
are aged, and have not the time or
ability to study financial questions, are
to be hOOdOOed on account of their
1idelity and patriotism to the grand
old party; and that, too, by one they
have trusted. | am an old soldier
myself, but l have always observed
that when the John Sherman crowd
wish to steal another march on our
constitutional rights they begin to
suggest more liberal pensions and beat
their breasts while they talk Of the
patriotism of old soldiers. In fact,
they have worked US for lot of gull
ible asses, and | don't know as they
have missed it very much, either.
Newspapers are worked, congress
men are worked, and they in turn are
expected to work US. What are we
coming to? Was the patriotism of
s76 real or imaginary?
