A Timber Ian d Steal.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE Herald
this morning prints three-column letter
from Eureka, California, in regard to gi-
gantic timber land steal.
The correspondent states that foreign
syndicate is operating in the redwood dis
trict, of which Eureka is the center, and
that 1t has already gobbled up $1,000 acres
of the finest redwood forests in the world.
The syndicate is composed of Scotch capi-
talists, and is known as the California Red
wood company, with its chief Office at San
Francisco.
The method pursued by the syndicate in
securing land is described as follows: A
number of notorious land sharks were hired
by the company and sent to Eureka, and
they soon had their plans perfected for a
great fraud. The headquarters of the gang
was the back room of gin snop of local
of the rough floating population. Three
blocks away from the saloon was located
the United States land Office.
The area of land sought by the conspira-
tors was so vast that small army of men
was required to go through the form Of en-
tering and proving, as required by the law
Of the United States In the disposal of the
public domain. 1t was necessary to obtain
400 persons who were willing to aid in the
fraud, either knowingly. Iunconsciously,
through Ignorance of the meaning of the
statement each sould be called upon to
make.
The sum fixed by the Redwood company
- the maximum price wasIs50. For that
paltry amount the men were to be called on
to go to the land once and make state
ment that the land they entered under the
Denehcent laws of Uncle Sam was for their
individual use and occupancy. AS soon as
the entry was made the men were escorted
to the headquarters Of the syndicate, where
the land was transferred to the ''canny
Scotchmen."
Thus 1t was that the chapter Of crime was
completed and the raid upon o., 600 acres of
growing timber, among the most valuable
In the world, was finally consummated.

Reports of winter wheat do not show
much decrease of area. The average de
cline appears to be between 1 and 2 pei
cent. The condition is affected somewhat
by the dryness Of the seed bed in the dis
trict that suffered from drought, delaying
the seed germinatlon and growth. The av'
erage condition is 95.
The condition Of winter rye corresponds
very closely to that of wheat
