in The Chronicle. It mentions 1892
warrants bought by DR.. Logan at
par, but those war; ants were bought
IN 1898, as the cancelled checks the
doctor holds show, What we have
said, and still maintain, is that war
rants of Wasco county, issued for
small amounts, the payment of SER
vices rendered for the county by in
dividuals, jurors, witnesses, etc.,
were not at par IN 1892.
The issue is a plain one. Either
county warrants were at par IN 1892
or they were not. II purchasers of
warrants paid for them 100 cents
upon the dollar, then the contention
made by THE Chronicle that war
rants were at par is proved.
The fact of the matter is, county
warrants in 1892 sold at par; that is
all there is to the question.
The editor of the Meuntaineer,
who is an honorable gentleman, and
one for whom we entertain the high
est possible regard, has lived in this
community but few months, and
has relied upon the: statements of
friends. We do not think Mr..
Douthit would Intentionally deceive
any one, and are fully convinced
that when the facts are placed before
him he will view the question in its
proper light.
On Nov. 2S, 1892, a warrant
drawn in favor of j. H. Fisk for
5000 was presented to the county
treasurer for payment. 1t is number
233 in. series 80. The warrant cam e
into the possession of ]. H. Phirman
and by him was sold to DR.. H. Lo
gan, the price paid being 5000,
which is as near par as anything can
conveniently get. DR.. Logan's
check was drawn and paid November
26. 1892. and can now be seen al
this Office.
/ But the Mountaineer maintain:
that warrants for small amounts die
not sell at par. Here is one thai
did: A warrant drawn in favor Of
j. H AIullau for Sc, Series "a, No
| sos, was sold to DR.. Logan for Sc
This one was purchased July 1882
There wasn't much discount in tha
instance. But there were smaller
ones yet. A warrant presented tc
the treasurer July IL, 1892, for 5;
was sold July 10, 1892, for $s. The
redeemed checks in all these in
stances are at this Office. Besides
we have in our possession many
other checks which were issued il

payment for county warrrants bought

payment for county warrants bought
in 1892 AT PAR.
It is possible that in some isolated
cases warrants for small amounts
were sold at discount. This would
be but natural in the ordinary course
of business when circumstances
might compel the seller to dispose of
his scrip hurriedly without an oppor-
tunity to look ouer the market. But
the exceptions prove the rule.
THE CHRONICLE does not blame
Judge Blakeley because county war
rants took slump during his term
of office. 1t was due to other causes
than his administration; but we GER
tainly refuse to give him credit for
performing something he did not
perform.
1t is furthermore tue that the
checks referred to in the Mountain
eer as being drawn in 1893 uAre
drawn during January of that year
so that our contemporary has been
doing some special pleading.
In fine the conclusion of the whole
matter is that county warrants in
1892 sold at par. If the statements
of The CHRoN1cLE are doubted, lei
the doubter inquire of French 4
Co., the First National Bank, The
Dalles National or DR.. Logan and
see how completely our contention
is sustained.
