of 15l entries made in Humboldt county,
California, under the Timber Land Act, on
which patents have been issued, the Secre-

pose of obtaining control of the valuable
redwood timber lands in that county, and
that the foreign corporation was aided in its
work by firm in California and men en-
ployed by that firm. The Secretary in his
letter to the Attorney General characterizes
the scheme by which the patents were OBJ
tanned as IAN extensive conspiracy culmi-
mating in monstrous fraud"
