Among the reasons assigned as
contributing to the pitlful downfall
of W. D. Lovejoy, undue stress was
laid on the fact that he had invested
heavily in the Malheur county goio
properties and failed to realize his
sanguine expectations. AS to TINS
matter, we say that such is not tne
case. Mr.. Lovejoy was allowed, or
assumed the active direction OF the
ccmpany's affairs, the stockholders
having no reason to question Dis
business ability, or personal integrety.
Using this he incurred debts tor
labor and MATERIAL but as soon as
the true conditions transposed ne
was taken to task by local stock
holders and asked to put up bis pro-
norton OF the company's indebted
moss He was unable to do this,
and ]. j. Fuller bought his entire
holdings and paid off all Liabilities

;ov actually receiving more than he
had ever invested. The Malheur
properties are valuable and are being
honestly developed by competent
.rd conservative management.
