A ROCKEFELLER COUP.
Foreclosure Proceedings Against
the Everett Land Company.

tEc f<NSEeEt iuhu company.
Seattle, June 24.-John d. Rockefeller
did not pass through the Pacific Northwest
for mere pleasure. The resignation OF
General Manager Brownell, Of the Everett
Land Company, was part OF the programme
arranged by the inancier himself to get
control of the Everett Land Company with
its S3.0000O0 or $4,000. 600 worth Of prop
erty. The fact came to surface BIZ a suit
filed in the Federal court by the Central
Trust Company of New York city to fore
close mortgage for 81 500, GOO against the
Everett Land Comany.
Mr.. Rockefeller owns this mortgage and
by foreclosing ii he will come into pos
session of more than three times its value
The act, taken in connection with his
recent move in foreclosing a mortgage
against the Monte-Cristo mines and con-
centrator, which property his representa-
tive purchased for $3.50. goo practically
makes Mr.. Rockefeller the landlord OF
Everett with its 5000 or 1000 people for
tenants. for the mortgage covers nearly
everything within the city limits besides
thousands of acres in the country.
