business IN locating people on timber

"Eariy IN August last one Wood
reached Kalispeli, Mont, and joining
his general information with q. L.
Browns local knowledge Of timber
lands in the KalispeiI land district, they
commenced q timber land locating

ment for applicants. and when proof
WAS made and the land Office receivers
certificate OF deposite was issued 70
claimants and applicants for 100 acres
500 would be paid TO entryman OF
entrywoman for deed to the land.
"B1t in order to become entitled TO an
Immediate profitable cash sale Of the
land claims, it was necessary for each
applicant for q timber claim to. become
n member Of a combine, aud to pay to
Mood & Brown k25. Some 25 persons
at Kalispell became members of this
combine, II seeming an easy way OF
making few hundred dollars.
Il am now informed Wood & Brown
have been in Spokane aud the cear

timber land scheme with success. Men
and women have been made victims to
this scheme who have but small means,
and winter coming on now, can Ill at
ford 10 lose the little cash money they
may have saved, and for this reason, IL
for no other, guilibie people should be
warned aud the public have notice Of
the ways of this pretended timber CON-
bine."
Wood has made his headquarters
here for some time and large number
Of people have located lands under his
direction; but inqdiry at the local land
Office developed nothing to show that he
WAS doing other than legitimate bust
ness. II he is, the land officers know
nothing OF it, aud il persons are filing
under his promises as outlined by Spec
ial Agent Chadwick they are simply
victims OF clever swindler.
Several persons In this vicinity who
talked with Wood confirm the state
ments OF Chadwick, saying that they
were promised $500 profit for securing
the land, aud when one individual asked
Wood what assurance or security he
would give for the SIS advanced, he
walked away and said. none at all" II

catches so many people who are tempted
