Morris heirs seek repayment of Continental debt
In Athena, Oregon, June 1, the Dearborn Independent cites the Morris heirs planning to file claims for the 1781 loan of 1.5 million Continental currency to finance the Continental Army. The descendants seek about 30 million in today’s terms, arguing the bonds were lost when Morris fell into debtors prison.

Unclear 1922 Union Pacific and Oregon notes column
The text reports broad postwar economic sentiment from The National City Bank of New York, noting gradual recovery, political divisions and labor issues. It references Union Pacific survey mentions in Umatilla County, Japanese labor attitudes, New York birth rates, Maine woods living, and Oregon political hopes, plus local warrants and legal notices. The blended items resemble a late 1920s local page with notices, forecasts, and public finance items.
