The Portland Evening Telegram of
which will be of interest in the state:
Because of the continued absence
from Portland of Dr. Henry Waldo
Coe, his business affairs are said to
be in an unsettled state, leading to
the cessation of construction work
on certain projects at Stanf1eld, in
Umatilla county, which he was carry
ing on, the filing OF mechanics liens
against the property and strenuous
endeavors on the part of his asso-
ciates to make good the Indebtedness.
Notices have been posted at Stanfeld
that the construction of buildings for
DR.. Coe will not be resumed at pres
emit.
The accounts of the physician with
the Inland Navigation company, for
which the Columbia Land company,
OF which he was president, acted as
selling agent, remain in an unsettled
condition, 1t is reported, and the exact
amount OF his indebtedness, If any,
cannot be known until his own books
have been placed in the hands of the
officers of the organization. It is
known that the company is DESTROYS
OF a settlement, and has endeavored
to ascertain DR.. Goes wherea bouts.
Its officers, including H. L. Moody of
Spokane, the president, have been in
formed by relatives, it is said, that
in recent cables from the physician
the information was conveyed that
from San Francisco he went to Homo
lulu, and from there to Japan. 1t is
presumed by those anxious for his
return in order that business affairs
may be settled, that he is still in ia
pan.
DIR. Coe left Portland shortly after
the republican assembly was held To
this body he was delegate, taking
a leading part in it's affairs. His
relatives and certain business assoc
ciates are reported to have explained
his departure by saying that he was
on the verge of nervous breakdown
and felt that a sea voyage and rest
from his business affairs was impera-
lively necessary for his health.
The failure of the physician to COM
Enunicate with those engaged with him
In the Stanfield projects or the off,
cials of the Inland Irrigation company
since he left this city has aroused
considerable comment.
The notice of the discontinuance of
work at Stanfeld were posted a week
or ten days ago, and were followed
by the filing of a mechanics lien at
Pendleton by Thomas Means, a con-
tractor, against the Columbia Land
company in the amount of $2,10O. An
other lien in a smaller amount was
filed by sub-contractor. Though os-
tensibly president, DR. Coe is said to
have been to all intents and purposes
the Columbia Land company.
DR.. Coe has been in Fargo a couple
of times recently. Once about a year
and half ago, or little over,
when he first started his Stanfeld
project In which many people of this
state and several in Fargo have be-
come interested through the Columbia
Land Co. which maintained an Office
in Fargo OF which DR.. f. E. Ball
Of this city was head.
DIR. Coe is quite well known In sew
eral parts of the state by those that
have resided in the commonwealth
some time. A number Of years ago
