properties. These statements are to form
the basis upon which the relative value oJ
each property IS 10 be determined. The
plan is to form a new corporation with .
capital stock large enough to cover all in
terests that may be willing TO join.
II a satisfactory apportionment of values
can he made. the stock Of the several COM
panies will be deposited in the treasury Of
central company in exchange for trust
certificates issued by that company. The
old corporations viii be- kept np and will
perform their international functions as
before. but in the matter Of getting
business and dividing profits there will be
unity Of interests. There will be no COM
petition and joint agencies will replace i'm
disidual agencies wherever such thing is
possible. conferences between Jay Gould,
G. T. Huntington and the Atchison people
are Of frequent occurrence. There is a per-
feet agreement as to the adyisability Of

VANCOUVER, Wash, March 23.-Orson NJ.
Seward, wealthy farmer living near here,
was hunkocd out of -, 900 in-gold today by
two young men. They had been working
for Seward for week past, and during
this time persuaded him to enter q scheme
into which he was to put 5000. This
morning early they came to his house, and
in token of his faith requested him to put
up his share. He Immediately went to the
First National bank, where at II o'clock
he drew out on his account S, 900, which
he took home and in the presence of his
young friends put into tin box provided
by them. They then explained that they
would Immediately go to Portland and
bring over their share, and, changing the
boxes, departed just in time to reach the
1928 ferry.
Farmer Seward, when lifting the box
supposed to contain his 5000, became
suspicious on account of the weight, and
started across the field to intercept them.
but without avail. The ferry boat pulled
out in sight of Seward, who frantically
rushed for rowboat, and offered the men
$40 to pull him across the river. 1t was
too late, the train had already left the
ferry landing on the Oregon side, and
there was nothing left for Seward but to
return. On opening the box at the First
National bank it was found to contain a
lot of railroad washers and bundles of
papers. Seward is an old settler worth
100000, and he went into the scheme in
spite of being warned by parties to whom
he had partly disclosed the transaction in
which he was to participate.

Colonel Tarbel came to this city from
Fairhaven about five weeks ago. He had
letters of introduction to prominent MEM
bers of the Knights of Pythias, and was
generally well received here, notwith-
standing that ugly rumors were abroad
connecting him with couple of unsavory
transactions across the border. When the
new electric tramway route was definitely
settled and the announcement Of it put
considerable lot Of property along the
line into the market. Tarbel was
one of those who thought he saw
some money in deal. He had some
conferences with Mr.. A. J. Patterson on
the subject. and as result he instructed
Mr.. Patterson to go ahead and secure the
property. Thinking that Tarhel was all
right, Mr.. Patterson put up $1,000 Of his
own money to secure the property. The
consideration was $4,000, and was for
some lots belonging to Captain Copp.
Tarbel left town few days ago, and Mr..
Patterson loses the 81 600 he put up. There
seems to be no salvation for it now, for the
man whom he trusted has simply gone
back on him. It is q clear case Of mis-
placed confidence. It is said others were
treated somex hat similarly.
