The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1896-02-06

No FAIR-MINDED person in
the state believes that Multno-
nah county should be deprived
of her full representation in the
Legislature when the proper time
comes for new apportionment
of the state. And the proper
time would be now if the 1egis-
1ature were in session. But to
have called that body together
simply for the purpose of giving
Multnomah six additional repre-
sentatives, as the Oregonian in
sisted, would have been the
height of folly. Governor Lord
acted wisely.

ton, another lawyer, had claim
for s., 900, which was disallowed.
E. c, NJ. Rand, a New York ex-
pert, who came to Oregon and
looked the road during the winter
of 1895. claimed s12,754-43 for
his services and expenses. The
claim was not allowed. The
claim Of the Farmers Loan &
Trust Company, and Of Attor-
neys Turner, Mcclure and Raj
ston, and J. R. Bryson, for attor-
ney's fees and expenses to the
amount of $38, ,27o. so, is not al
lowed. All but $40, 900 of the
above sum, however, had already
been passed upon by Referee
Whalley-y -ad approved by the
court, in which report the referee
found that the claims were due.
In the order OF approval, it was
decreed that the claims should
bear interest from January, 1892.
In regard to the $40, 900 not in
cluded at the time of Referee
Whalley's report, Referee Wood
cock deems it unnecessary to pass
upon, as to its reasonableness. In
his conclusions Of law, he makes
no provision for his payment.
Of the 24th claim Referee
Woodcock says: "From an ex-
animation I find that said claim
ant Whalley was amply paid for
all the services he rendered as
referee in his suit, and that said
additional claim should in justice
be included, in the claim for
which he has received compensa-
ton, and I therefore find that he
is not entitled to any part of the
fund now in court. "
In his 31st finding of fact, Mr..
Woodcock says:
"I find from an examination
of Receiver Clark's report, so
far I am able to ascertain, tha t
he acted honestly and diligently
in the performance of his trust
and that his report should be
passed and allowed, and said re-
ceiver discharged from any fur
ther liability, and his bondsrnen
exonerated, upon his payment
into court of the money now in
his hands, as such receiver. -
The amount now in Mr.. Clark's S
hands is $Io5.72.
Commenting on Receiver Had
1ey's report, the referee says that
no objections have been filed to
it, and there is nothing in the
report to show why it should not
be allowed and passed. He notes
however, that, in the deposition
of E. C. M. Rand, the afiant
claims to have reported to Re-
ceiver Hadley a shortage of
large amount due from 7. E.
Hogg, and for some reason he
also claims such deficiency was
not reported to the court by Mr..
Had1ey. If this is true, Mr..
Woodcock does not think Receiv-
er Hadley has performed his duty
on account of meager
evidence, does not feel warranted
in making a special finding.
Referee Hadley asks for $40, 900
due as salary for ten mouths ser
vice. He was allowed IS, 900 by
the referee, from which is de-
Quoted $2,o previously paid.
Mr.. Woodcock says:

Relative to T. Edgenton
Hogg's 5 administration and re-
-.-. e.. q; re22c...77r, Referee Wood
cock says:
II find that IT, -cceiver's re
port should not be passed and
allowed until the various mat
ter5 are adjusted by said receiver,
nor should he receive Or be al
lowed any compensation for ser
vices until said adjustment is
made. It appears that said re-
ceiver remained in New York
aad maintained an Office tt e:e,
when he should have been in
Oregon, wherc the property was
located. It further appears in
the various claims in this pro-
ceeding that the actions of said
receiver were unsatisfactory to
the bondholders, and that after
another receiver was appointed
said Receiver Hogg refused to
turn over books and other prop
erty to his successor The total
amount Of the claims which are
notapproved in said report is the
sum of $50, ,oo4.27. This amount
does not include the item of $57-
o24. 3o paid to the Oregon Devel-
opnent company, for the reason
that with the information before
me, am not able to pass upon
that item. I think, however,
that said receiver should be re-
quired to explain more fully in
reference to said items before it
is allowed -
Levi & Ferguson's claim was
for costs and expenses in a dam
age suit wherein they were bonds
men for the receiver and the
claim was allowed.
There is found to be in the |
hands of the court for distribu-
ton $o4, 3I2.17. The expenses
of the reference are:
Referees fees es............ 81. 900 90 |
Stenosrapher and clerical assistance G54 60 !
Total......... ..... ............... 81 1863 60
In his conclusions of law, Re
feree Woodcock finds that the
various assessments are legally |
made and all proceedings in ref
erence to the levy are regular, as
by law required, but that claim
ants are not entitled to interest. !
Priority is given to claims, as fol-
lows:
First
Expenses Of this proceeding .........$ 1869 go |
Compensation Of E. w. Hadlev. 5000 90 |
Claim of nj. O. Wilkins.....-..... SO 25 !

Third
Labor and material claims, attor-
neys' fees incurred by the receiv-
ers and allowed by the referee,
receivers certificates allowed
and advertising. ....."..341, ,971 90
It is estimated by the referee
that .oo646, or nearly 10 perc.
on the dollar will be paid on the
claims in the third category.
Accompanying the report is an
exhaustive legal argument pre-
pared by Mr.. Woodcock in sup
port of his findings, which is i'm
portant as it gives a thorough ex-
planation of his Interpretation of
the law, particularly with regard |
to the tax claims and reasons why
they are entitled to priority of |
payment. The work throughout
appears to have been carefully
and conscientiously executed.

we insist upon free and unlimited com
age of both gold and silver at ratio
of Is to / as a money Of final redernp-
ton, with equal powers independent OF
the action of any other nation. We are
opposed to the issue OF interest bearing
bonds for any purpose in time of peace
We demand that the government shall
not surrender, but shall exercise its law
full right to redeem its obligations in
either gold or silver, as may be most
convenient
I'VE demand the repeal Of the present
laws discrediting the silver money of the
nation and legalizing private contracts
payable in gold alone. We are opposed
to the national banking system, and ia
vor only money provided by the con-
stitution, and we believe the power and

Scenes at Canton, Ohio, Are BecOm-

Canton O., June 2.-Sunday has
brought temporary peace and quiet to
the citizens of Canton Aside from the
profuse decorations that greet the eye

of the stirring scenes of the past week.
This morning Governor Mckinley and
Mrs, General Russell Hastings, accom-
panied by Captain Hesland, drove to
the First M. e. church. The church was
crowded and Governor Mckinleys fellow

ally applicable and re ferred In happy
manner to the result of the St Louis con-
Vention last week.

Mckinley today were the following:
Mansfield, June 20.--To Hon William
