HOW ATHENA FEELS.
CAthena PressD

(Athena PresS.)
Aside from the Milton -Freewater
section, who wants the county divid-
ed? Only personal interests i'm that
locality would receive any benefit
whatever from division. And yet
there is on the statute books Of the
state a distorted law that will give
the voters Of Ashland and every other
voting precinct in Oregon the privil-
ege Of mixing in and voicing either
for or against an issue that concerns
vitally only the people of Umatilla
county. Of all the misfits that an
Oregon legislature has ever perpetuat-
ed on its constituency, this state vote
on county division is the limit. What
does Long Creek care whether the di-
viding line runs up Water street in
Weston or down Fifth street in Athe-
ma? Where is there any justice in
appealing to the ballot decision of a
Wingville cowboy or North Powd 7
sawmill man as to whether or not
old Umatilla shall be cut in twain at
the pleasure Of a handful Of Milton
property owners. that their interests
may be enhanced in value at the ex-
pense Of the great majority who al
ways have been and are now opposed
to division? Our wisdom utterly fails
in comprehension, so we pass It up to
,ho ALMIGHTY and the young lawyer
from Indiana.

GET THE ENDOWMENT.

Pendleton academy is a splendid lit
tie institution. For years it has play
ed a creditable part in the education
a. work of eastern oregon. It has
done this while laboring under a SER
ious handicap arising from the lack of
sufficient funds. Had the academy
been provided with an endowment
years ago it would now be far
stronger institution than it is. It
would be a junior college and would
more fully meet the obligations upon t
as the only institution of its kind in
eastern oregon.
However there is yet ample time to
secure an endowment for the acad-
emy The school is young and Its
field is large. Eastern Oregon has
/ scarcely started upon the era Of close
/ settlement and development. Unless
I ali signs fail the next five years will
-Dring about a greater growth in pop
ulation than has the past % years.
This as a result Of the railway lines
being built into the interior and of
/ the colonization of the irrigation sec,
tions.
It is time 10 undertake the task of
; getting an endowment for the acad-
emy The endowment is what the
. academy needs if it is to grow and
/ prosper Here's hoping that the
p committee which has the matter in
charge win be able to formulate plans
tnat viii result in securing such an
. endowment as will place the academy
upon q firm financial basis and will
permit It to grow in accordance with
It's possibilities.

son or motive we have no know
ledge, but if our conduct as attor-
news had been as unethical as that
of the paper publishing the untoun-
ded SANDER we would have expect
ed disbarment. In conclusion we
have only to say as we said to the
representative of the Leader we co
not wish to try the case over IN
the newspapers. The decision OF
the court was against us only in re-
gard to one technical and uninten-
tional matter arising from an error
in the construction of a judgment OF
the court. All the charges which
would constitute any reflection on
our characters were found speclfi-
callv in our favor. Hence we con-
sidered the decision a vindicatlon
and it seems to have been so con-
sidered by about all the attorneys
who we're present or who have learn
cd of the decision as We haze re
ceived numerous congratulations on
being indicated of these offensive
charges. AS to the entire case and
every charge relating to it and all
we have said in this article we have

A CARD
TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE PUBLlC:
The paper known as the F-tzger-
aid Leader pub lished last week In a
conspicuous place a long article
with reference to the disbarment
proceedings instituted against us IN
the u. S. Cour--. This publication
contains so many false and malcl-
Gus statements as to clearly mani
fest its purpcseto cefame us instead
of merely presenting the truth OF
the case.
TO one informed as to the facts
it carries it's falsity upon its tace'
but for the benefit Of those who
know nothing about it we deem 1t
proper to say few words.
Our first intimation that the de-
cision in this case was claimed as a
victory" for the petitioners was
when we redu ca4~ artirlo in, the
paper. While they were bitterly
disappointed at the result OF the
case and their failure to obtain oul
disbarment, it seems now that they
think all that is needed to mlslead
the public down here is to return
home and say that they have gain
el a victo y and then procure pub
lication of their false and distorted
version of the case.
The published article states that
the evidence showed that we fraud
emily got possession of the titles OF
numerous tracts of land in this sec
ton, etc. The author of the article
knew that statement to be absolute
" false. The charges and the evil
dence related to titles to three pieces
of land. One of these has been adj
Indicated in our favor, the opposite
party's title being conclusively
shown to be forgery, while our
title was perfect chain from the
State of Georgia down and upon
this the opposite party's title being
shown to be forgery and that party
s :yrendered the property to usand we
are now in peaceable possession OF
it and everybody is satisfied. Ut the
other two disputed titles one OF the
adverse claimants has on oath
solemnly sworn that he did not get
any title and that our title was SUI
perior and that he claimed no further
interest in the property, We have
the record of this evidence if any
body desires to see it. AS to the
other disputed titled the holder OF
the adverse title had deliberately
bought his adverse title with full
knowledge Of the dispute and accept
ed the adverse title merely because
he could buy it cheaper than the
one claimed by us. This was prov
en- by competent disinterested tes-
timony including his own witnesses
and by his own letters, which ne
cannot deny. This same charge was
made on the trial of one of these
cases and all possible evidence was
sought to be introduced against us
and after the evidence in the case
had closed and the trial was over

ties interested in bringing this pro-
cee1ing against us and upon seeing
that the charges were false they
withdrew them, although they con-
tinued to make the issue that the
court had no Jurisdiction. We are
perfectly willing to have any tribu-
nal, or the public, when informed as
to the facts, to pass upon the qre3-
ton of the legal superiority of our
title as we'll as the comparative
morality involved in their purchase
when compared with those Of the two
opposite parties.
The statement that there are
numerous persons whose situation
is the same as that of the two
petitioners and that their prop
erty was endangered is equally false.
The evidence showed that the three
titles above referred to were the on
ly ulCo III question and nobody else
could possible be effected in any
way by the decision in question,
The article refers to the very seri-
GUS charges which were made
against us in the pleadings and en-
beavers to convey the inference
that these charges were sustained,
the author evidently assuming that
the hasty reader will not carefully
note the difference between charges
made and facts proven. The ma
licious and contemplate liar who
prepared that article, but was too
cowardly to sign his name to it was
not man enough to state that these
charges were wholly disproved and
that the judge in his decision spe-
cifcally found in our favor in re-
gard to those charges which were of
such a character as to reflect upon
our integrity. Absolutely the only
feature of the decision adverse to us
was that the court held that in re-
newing two of the suits in the State
Court we were disregarding the de-
cision of the United State Court and
as a member of the bar of that
court it was improper for us to do
so. Had we known the construc-
ton placed by the court on that de-
cision we would never have been
placed in the position of practically
(thongh Internationally being in
contempt of court and these parties
back of this infamous publication
would never have had the small
morsal of consolation which was all
they could find in the decision in
their favor and which they have
magnifed into a victory"
The malicious article refers to a
statement as coming from us. We
made no such statement and moth
ing from which such an inference
could be drawn. We did state that
it had been humiliating to be brought
up on such charges by such persons
and we were glad it was over and
we especially gratified by the result
of the decision because it relieved
us of all the charges that were real
ly offensive and serious. We fur
ther stated that the case had been
tried in court and that we did not
wish to try it over in the newspapers.
The representative of the Leader
left our office with the positive
statement that his paper would not
make any mention of the case at all.
Possibly he was afterwards induced
