SAME OLD TROUBLE
Receiver Payne Talks About
the Latest Move Of the
Ives interest
IN NORTHERN PACIFIC MATTERS
Why the Receivers Have
"Stood In" With the
Adams Crowd.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug 9.-Receiver
Henry G. Payne of the Northern Pa
cific arrived on special train from the
East. With him is United States Cir.
cult Court Judge Jenkins Of Milwau-
kee, who made the original order ap-
pointing three receivers for the North
ern Pacific.
"The receivers have made applica-
tion for authority to enter upon extern
sive improvements on the road" said
Mr.. Payne. Judge Jenkins, before
granting the desired authority ex-
pressed purpose to travel over the
line and judge for himself as to the
needs of the proposed changes"
The receivers attention was directed
to the Associoted Press dispatch bear.
ing the information that Brayton Ives,
in the federal court at Seattle, had ap-
piled to Judge Hanford to have the
receivers appear and show cause why
an order appointing them receivers
should not be declared null and void.
The Same Old Trouble.
"This is tho same old trouble" Mr.
Payne said. "Threshing over old straw
between Ives and the Adams interests
This action was not unexpected, in fact
we learned that it was coming two
weeks ago.
MIR. Payne added that the question
was purely one of law.
I'VE are charged, see, with the
paying off of debts which should not be
preferred. The truth is we have paid
off some preferred debts, by order of
the court, but you may be sure we have
not paid anything we were not required
to pay.
The receivers are also charged with
standing in with Mr.. Adams, chairman
of the reorganization board. Now, it is
true that Mr.. Adams has given the re.
ceivers very strong financial support.
He had advanced s., 600, 900 to the re-
ceivers and naturally they had tried to
work in harmony with the people who
own the property and who are entitled
to consideration. But Mr.. Adams does
not control the receivers and does not
direct their policy.
Receivers DO Not Approve Consolidation.
LAS a matter of fact receivers do not
approve Of his plan to unite the inter-
ests of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. I consider the proposed
union of interests as against public in
terests, not to be countenanced by the
public. The Northern Pacific is a great
public highway and its construction
was largely aided by a land grant. The
people, therefore, have right to ex.
pect continued individual operation of
| the road.
The receivers have recently entered
upon new policy in regard to the dis.
posal of these lands to actual settlers.
They desire the advent OF immigration
and the settlement OF the country. The
lands will accordingly be sold to pur-
chasers OF this class at prices of tilla.
BILE tracts which will be close to the
government prices"
Referring to the plan Of local re-
ceivers along the line of the road, in
other words the receivership by states
or sections, he said such plan would
result in utter confusion and disaster

The only thing that prevents the

almost wholly by unjust discrimina-
tions against industries by tb present

that wouldn't alter the determinations
on freight rates. The same fate would
befall our locally refined oil that be-
falls the locally crude oil. For instance:
The operators here shipped few bar

day. The freight was 1910 per barrel.
The Standard Oil company was ship
ping the same quality of oil from the
Eastern fields through Chicago and

Just think of it! And when you think
OF 1t cease wondering why there Is no

Nearly $4,000 barrels of crude petro-
leum is above the surface Of the

millions Of barrels are below the sur.

be realized owing to the situation In
dicated above. Although Neodesha is
within 165 miles of Kansas City and
the nearest Eastern oil fields is over
GOO miles from that point, the producer
