DIRECTS PERCENTAGE BID
Court Opposes Lump Sum for
IS. Motor Co.

Judge Hough. of the United States Dis
trict Court. considering the bid OF the
reorganization committee OF the United
states Motor Company yesterday, on
the assets of that company and
It's five subsidiary companies. decided
bid No. .. which is on percentage
basis. would be better for the creditors
than the other bid, lump sum OF Va
0s0.O00 The receivers are directed TO
accept bid No. ?.
In long memorandum Judge Housh
said that I'm bid No. , the bidders offered
to pay all unpaid expenses and obliga-
items incurred b. receivers in the ad-
ministration Of the properties, all COM
pensaticn of receivers and ancillary re
c.ivers and their attorneys; and the fol-
lowing percentages OIL all claims as
finally adjudged against the following
companies: United States. Motor Com
pany. 32iy per cent; Alden sampson

item. and !. every claim filed were valid
for the amount claimed. and II no ei-
penses OF any kind attached 20 the pro-
ceedings, creditors would obtain approx
mately the following dividend: United

DAYTON. a.: Maxwell. Briscoe, IS. The
attention OF bidders counsel having been
called 10 the fact that bid No. created
no fund Cor. az least. no SUFFICIENT fund)
TO bear the expense OF special master
ship. etc. necessary for contesting con
tested claims. the bid was amended in
open court 80 that provision might be
made by order for imposing that liability
upon the purchaser.
putation Is substa ntislly accuratel that
in every case. except those OF the United
States Motor Company and Maxwel
Company. the offered percentage ~ less
than the apparent value OF the claim on
the face OF the appraisal. The difference,
however. does not seem 10 me TO be i'm
portant Except in the case OF the CO.
lumbia Company. and no objection hav-
be further considered. What is thought
important is this: l am convinced that
the percentages last above given repre-
sent the extreme gross worth Of any
given claim. and that claim Is subject 10
deductions for expenses which cannot be
measured, but which are certainly large
and which might fall more heavily upon
the creditors OF one company rather than
those OF another.
Concerning the loss OF s3S0.o0o in the
opera ton Of the business under the re-
ownership, Judge Hough said no renec-
tion was cast on the receivers them
selves for this result. which was be.
lieved TO be inherent in the situation.

The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1913-07-24

Attention has recently been called,
by the Oregon Agricultural College
to the fact that many farmers who
are so unfortunate as to have hav in
jured or spoiled by rain are making
the mistake of either burning it in
the field or allowing it to rot in piles
1t is stated that spoiled clover or al
falfa hay is worth SIS 80 to $40 90 per
ton as fertilizer if evenly spread
over the fields and plowed under, and
that every ton of hay so worked into
the soil is approximately worth four
tons of fresh manure. A ton of clover
hay contains 40 pounds of nitrogen,
pounds of phosphorus and 80 pounds
of potash, which, if purchased in the
open market would cost the farmer
about $40 80, and as clover and vetch
are yielding about p tons per acre
this season, the blowing under of the
snoiled hay adds fertilizer value of
not less than s25 to each acre.

Heppne has the rock and the sand
to build good steets and do it cheaplv.
Thousands of other towns are forced
to nav freight on these materials.
Great cities are built on bonded
indebtedness. Great corporations are
made the same way and great com
monwealtbs grow to perfection through
the same channels. All over the
United States the states and counties
are building macadam highways.
These roads are better than anv street
in Heppner. The roads are built
through the means of bond issues and
the coming generation will help nay
for the conveniences they are to enjoy
A bond issue to pave Main. May
Chase and Gale streets should be the
first thing Heppner people should
consider. Then sewerage and the
rest will follow.
When the Morrow county court
honse was built a certain stockpan
raised an awful fuss. When the new
High school was built this same
stockman and city property owner
hollered again, but today he is in
Portland offering Heppner and Nor
,ow county property for sale. He
:slks louder of the court house and
he school building than any other
Isset. He has found what the man
eekng a location wants.

The fact that onions from Texas
potatoes from California end eggs and
poultry from points outside Of Oregon
are being received in Portland in car
load lots while the farmers in the
immediate vicinity of The city, as
we'll as those tributary to the railroads
leading to this market, cannot find a
market for their produce at any price
has led tile Portland Realty Board to
actively take up the question of es-
tablishinR public markets where gar
deners and farmer may dispose of
their poducts direct to the consumer
with great benefit TO both. 1t is
stated that the fact farmers cannot
sell their own crops in Portland with
ont license, and the further fact that
the commission men will not buy from
him except at their own prices, is
causing many farmers to allow fruits
and vegetables TO go TO waste rather
than dispose of them at loss.
