A Portland Paper That Was
Going to Defend the People

The Journal prints below the second
of a series Of papers by Rev. Joseph
schell, formerly Of this county, who
Is exposing the timber land frauds
practlced in Oregon. and throwing
light on the character Of some Of the
prominent Oregon politicians. II the
people can learn the facts they will re-
allze how their most valuable public
lands have been systematically stolen;
how prominent men have got rich out
OF these frauds on the government
and the citizens. II is doubtful II Rev.
schell will be permitted to tell all he
knows. The federal officials and the
courts may be called into requisition
TO silence him.
The Journal hopes he will pour out
the details and give more facts than
he has thus far. That there has been
a gigantic conspiracy existing for many
years that has successfully robbed the
people OF their public lands by whole
sale and retail, is generally under
stood. But no one has had the time
and patience and courage to bring the
facts together, and bring the gang into
public notice.
1t would seem as II Rev. Schell were
the man to do II The Journal will
print his facts, II there Is not another
daily paper in the state that will pub
llsh them. Below will be found let
ter from this lighting man OF the cloth,
stating some things about Judge
Carey, a prominent man at Portland,
and. II he is misrepresented, this paper
will retract and give him a fair show
10 reply without expense in these col
umns. The other letter shows the
Portland Journal In a new light. It
has heretofore been a paper that
fought squarely on the side Of the peo-
pie. The people, or such OF them as
get The Capital Journal. should up
hold Rev. Schell I'm his battle against
swlndlers in the public lands. More
will follow:
