A BIG SUIT.
1T INVOLVES SOMETHING OVER
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
The Action brought BY the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company Against
the Oregon Improvement Com
Dany.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 10
One of the largest suits even instituted
on the Pacific coast was filed late this
afternoon in the United States circuit
court.
The Farmers Loan and Trust com
pdhy seeks to foreclose a mortgage ex-
ecuted by the Oregon Improvement
company, of Portland, in 1889. for SIS
100, though the amount actually in
vowed is only a little over SIS, COO 600.
When the institution OF the suit be-
came known it created intense excite
ment in railroad and financial circles.
1t has been generally understood for
some months past that the Oregon I'm
provemeEE was in a bad way financial
~, but on the other hand it was be-
Heved they would pull through The
present litigation arises from mort
gage executed by the defendants in
1881, for 100000, to cover bonds for a
IKE amount, and which were guaran-
teed by the Farmers Loan and Trust
company. The bonds in question were
o,000 in number, OF a par value of 81, 900
each. with 6 per cent. interest, the same
being payable semi-annually.
The mortgage given by the improve
ment company included 1854 shares
OF the Seattle Coal and TRANSFORMATION
& Puget Sound railroad, that corpora
ton being owned entirely by them. In
addition 60 this the mortgage embraced
All property owned by the defendants,
including railroads contemplated and
the franchises Herewith.
In 1889 the Oregon Improvements
company desired to refund the first in
debtedness of $1,000 900. with interest at
per cent. payable under the same
conditions as the original execution.
Alter paying off the mortgage the
balance of the sum realized was to be
used in building new roads, extensions
and such other improvements as the
board of directors deemed proper.
THESE bonds were in turn Endorsed by
the Farmers Loan and Trust COM
pany. the old mortgage being renewed.
such orher property as was owned by
the company being included
On June l, 1895, the Oregon Improve
mert company defaulted in the semi
annual interest and again in December.
Formal demand was made for the
money, but ali the New York company
received was promises. In June of the
present year the defendants defaulted
in payment of interest for the third
time, whereuDon the Farmers Loan
and Trust company determined to insti-
tEte a suit fer foreclosure The first
suit was accordingly begun in Oregon,
July lasr, and now the surety company
covers the entire situation by institut-
ing proceedings here. It is alleged in
the complaint that the Oregon Improve
ment company is insolvent, hence the
desire on che part of the plaintiff to
foreclose the mortgage.

A Word About Our Testi=
rnOniaIS.

Although we believe it the plain duty
of every one to tell the world when they
find a successful doctor, so that others
may benefit by their experience, still we
also find many people who have some
hesitancy about publishing their testi-
nonials.
In fact, a lady who visited DR.. Shores
recently said: Doctor, have great faith
in you and believe you can cure me- but L
dislike to begin your treatment because
don't want my case published We said
to her rs we say to all-WE NEVER
PUBLISH EVEN THE MOST EMPHAT-
&c ENDORSEMENT UNLESS THAT
PATIENT IS ENTIRELY WILLING
AND VOLUNTARILY OFFERS TO
HAVE THEIR EXPERIENCE PUB
LISHED.
In fact, not one-tenth of the cases cured
by DR.. Shores are ever seen in print. and
we print only those that first come to
hand, and when we know the patient has
no objections. DR.. Shores has hundreds
of voluntary testimonials on file. and does
not need to present unwilling witnesses
to prove his ability ana success
