one hundred and seventy-fiye thousand
dollars OF the purchase price was paid
on November. The purchasers paid

1T has been suggested that as tne
government owned ali the shares OF
the railroad company and was In fact
the owner OF the road the sale OF the
company bonds was In effect to IN
crease the Indebtedness TO which the
government property might DC subject
ed and In this way Indirectly 10 In

ment and that such power ought not e.
be exercised without special authority
from Congress. On the other hand Il
may be pointed out that the company
still preserves its character as a Ger
poration by the acquicscence Of Con-
gress and that under the charter the
directors had the power to issue the
bonds and bind the company no matter
who owned the shares.
ISSUING OF BONDS.
The question Of issuing the bonds

fore Anal action was taken by the
board OF direct ors. The policy Of sell
ing the bonds was doubtful one and
should not have been adopted until af-
ter conference with this government.
have not the slightest doubt that the
president and directors of the company
acted In entire good faith In what they
did, and as they thought for the best
interests OF the government; but It Is
regarding the anomalous and peculiar
relations between the directors and the
company and the government the
bonds should not haze been issued
without your approval or mine. In view
of thi< fact, by your authority, In
structed the president of the railroad
company to proceed to at once repur-
chase the bonds. The bonds them
selves contained stipulation pro-
viding that they might be redeemed
either on the first of October or the
first OF April by the payment of the
previous six-months interest. the prin-
clpal and premium OF per cent.

purchasers by which the bonds were

and accrued interest to date OF re-
purchase from the LIST of october. To
make the repurchase II was at first
thought necessary for the railroad COM
pany to borrow 100000 from the canal
commission"
The acting attorney general held that
the commission had the authority to
lend the money TO the railroad COM
pany for that purpose, but it was found
that the Indebtedness OF the canal COM
to the railroad company was
quite large enough to supply the rail-
read company with the needed funds
for taking up the bonds without bor-
rowing from the commission.

road company have been advised of

FIGURES ID.
ARE NOT
RELIABLE
Secretary of State Places no
Reliance Upon Return of
State Census.

The total population of the state
of Oregon, based upon the returns
sent in from the several counties
and compiled by the secretary of
state, is 464,53S, as compared to
413,536 as shown by the federal CEN
sus of 1900. These figures, howev-
er, are not given out as accurate in
any sense by Secretary Dunbar, who
explains that, while in many of the
counties, diligent care and pains
were taken in the collection and COM
pilation of the census returns, the
work was performed in a negligent
and slipshod manner in others, and
there were no returns received at all
from Curry, Lake and Morrow coun-
ties, and the returns given for these
delinquents were estimated upon the
same average percentage of increase
of other counties over the federal
census or 19OO.
AS an instance of the inaccuracies
and Irregularities which exist in the
returns from many counties is cited
the case of Marion county, where
only two negroes are accounted for,
while there is at least a dozen in Sa-
lem alone. and in klamath county
the returns show an Indian popula-
tion of only seven, whereas the Klam
ath Indian reservation is situated
almost entirely within It's confines.
OF the total population shown 143,.
O53 are legal voters, and 91,65O are
liable to military duty.
