"A principle without which polite society
would lapse into universal crime and rot
and our splendid civilization backslide to
the darkness of the black ages He holds
to the strong doctrine that refusal to save
life is as bad as 10 deliberately take life
and refusal TO relieve suffering as bad as
10 deliberately infict suffering.
To his friends in the medical profession
who have expostulated with him against
his system OF virtually free treatment"
on the ground that it hurts practice"
Doctor Copeland's reply has been that
learned profession is not to be conducted
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of It's learned
membership. but for the benefit of the
human family. The end Of gospel preach
ing or of the literary profession is not that
pulpit orators may thrive and be idoliZed
honized. Their mission is to save the race
from the curse of ignorance and the curse
of sin The military profession is not 10

marble or TO stand a thousand years on

the safety of all the people.
Thus. according TO DR.. Copeland's view
of il, the mission of the medical profession
Is the Red Cross mission of saving human
life and min.stering 10 the afflicted. The
only pity is that any such thing as "fee"
should be known TO the calling!

Northern Pacific Asks Lewis County
for n Reduction.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligences
CHEHALIS. Aug. 2.-General Land
Agent Thomas Cooper. of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. has been in

of the railroad land in Lewis county is

a table showing every parcel of land own
ed by the company in the county. the as
sessed valuation, and the price at which
the company Is Offering ii on the market.
The Northern Pacific has not paid it's
taxes in full IN this county for several

mise between the company and the coun-
~ commissioners was reached and every
thing was cleared up back 10 1889 by a
payment of $4,000. Mr. Cooper stated at
that time that the reason the company
had not paid its taxes was that the as
sessments had been made too high. He
demonstrated this by going TO the county
records and getting figures 10 show that
since 1890 the assessed valuation Of all
lands In the coun.~ had decreased year by

Clever Confidence Man Sells a
Claim he Didn't Own.
RICH NEW YORKER THE BUYER.
Maurice Klinkowstein Pays Thous-
and. for No. Bonanxa-Goes to
Dawson With Miners to Work 1t,
and Finds Himself BunkOed-
Gold Commissioners Fawcetcs
Name Forged to the Certificate.

The demand for Klondike mining claims.
when the gold fever was at its height. was
too great for sharpers to overlook Some
of their clever schemes have already come
TO light. Many a claim that never existed
has been sold for big money. Creeks We're
made in the minds Of clever confidence
men and interests in claims on them sold
to Eastern men who knew little about the
Klond!ke. but who were over-anxious 10
invest Valuable claims in the heart OF
the klondike were sold by men who had
absolutely no interest in them, and the
purchasers sent parties OF miners north TO
work them. This story has to deal with
an unfortunate New Yorker who was
done out of a princely sum by the last
mentioned swindle.
Maurice ElnkowStein is one of New
York's many rich men. He got his wealth
by shrewd investment and snrewder I'M
loading OF his purchases. He came into
especial prominence by feeding hundreds
OF New York's poor in the terrible winter
of 1885, He established a free provision
station al the corner of East Broadway
and Ruyter street and did world OF
good
Last winter Klinkowstein was approach
ed by man who gave his name as George
A. Wagar. Wagar had claim No on
Bonanza creek to sell. He claimed to have
sent two old miners into the interior on
grubstake proposition. and the rich claim
on Bonanza was his share of their work.
He explained in a satisfactory manner his
reasons for not working the claim himself
He had a printed blank certifying his title
to the property, which bore the alleged sig
nature of Thomas Fawcett gold commits
sioner for the Dominion government on
It's race 1t appeared to be an absolute proof
OF ownership. After due consideration and
investigation Klinkowstein purchased the
claim. Not a suspicion had been awakened
in his mind against Wagar.
returning klondikers. who tell the story
do not know just how much cash was
paid for the property, but it was several
thousand dollars The New York man
gathered up a party of six experienced
miners, purchased an outfit of provisions
and tools for eighteen months, and started
with his men to Klondike
He reached Dawson early in July and
went out 10 the claim he thought he own
ed. He found other men working on IL.
VINO refused to recognize his rights and
would not leave. klinkowsten appealed
TO the gold commissioner. He produced
the certificate of title on which the sale
mad been made. and ii was promptly pro-
nounced forgery. F'awcett's forged sig
nature was a poor imitation. The swim
dier had gone to the trouble Of having
Blanks printed, but the wording was irreg-
uiuar The writing on the certificate was
not after the usual form. The sswindle
was c!everly carried out and kiinkowstein
has little hopes Of getting his money back.
