The prospects for special legisla-
tive session are growing brighter. Gov
ernor Chamberlain maintains his po-
sition that members of the Legislature
must promise to stop at tax Legislation.
and he Is slowly forcing Multnomah's
delegation into line. The Legislators
from that county have held meeting
and decided that the tax law must be
remedIed. They will mildly protest
against the governors position. but
the chief executive says he will try and
struggle along with the cards he holds
IA sequence in trumps with the ace at
the top. AS Multnomah is most con-
cerned. 1t is not unlikely that the del
egation from that county will now try
to induce members from other counties
to acquiesce in the governors plan.

City Physician Pilkington stated last
evening that there had been no further
spread OF scarlet fever and that there
was reason to believe that the disease
would remain confined to the two cases
now quarantined. DR., Pilkington be-
lieves that too much caution can not be
employed In warding of the epidemic,
however, as climatic conditions at the
present time are such as to warrant
the disease spreading, The two homes
that are quarantined are situated half
mile apart and the families are
strangers TO each other. II is not prob
able. either. that any communication
had been carried on between the two
boys, so it is likely that in each case
the attack lacked the contagion feature
Fortunately the cases were both taken
in hand at the very start and the
authorities have the advantage Of prev
ious experience in combating with the
affliction.

INVESTORS INVESTIGATE

According to the Western Min
ing World a company we'll known
in these parts is not doing business
on the square. The Douglas, Lacy
IL Co. of New York is the one un-
der censure. The Mining World
accuses it of being in the Get-Rich-
Quick class. The company has
been operating for long time in
Arizona and has spent large
amount of money in developing
properties in Yavapai county. Not
long ago a Prescott paper said that
the company had been very un-
lucky with it's properties. A great
many claims have been taken hold
of by that company and not one
of them has ever been a success.
OF course, some of them may yet
turn out well and make paying
mines, but if what the Mining
World says about it is true, the
company itself is not caring much
whether the mines themselves turn
out we'll or not. Below is the ar
ticle of the paper referred to:
"Cut-Rate Brokers'" "Jobbers"
and Bargain Counter" dealers in
mining stocks must all take their
hats off to the Coordination Order
Blank" issued by the Douglas, Lacy
& Co. of New York and branch Of
fees in thirty seven other cities.
Eight Special Combinations Car
rying Out the Principle of General
Average as Applied to Mining"
extensively circulated among the
verdant green's ought to bring in
sufficient funds to make the saver
age" amount contributed by the
poor public of considerable interest
to the schemers who have the nerve
to foist such a proposition on the
public under the guise of mining.
There is no such thing as "Aver-
age as Applied to Mining" The
average" which this firm has in
view no doubt applies to the pub
lie, and the average" sucker who
goes up against such game ought
to have a guardian appointed.
Their circular smacks of "Preferred
Treasury Stock Only" at "Original
Founders Share Prices," and many
other catchy phrases, soothing and
winning to the small investor, who
is looking for something for nothing.
This firm is careful not to adver-
tise it's wares in the legitimate min
ing papers, preferring to use the
daily press and the American Min
ing News of New York. The latter
publication it owns, having pur-
chased it several months ago, and
is publishing it under the guise of
mining paper. The object of this
is apparent to any one with an
ounce of brains. If the Douglas,
Lacy & Co. is not entitled to a
place among the "Get-Rich-Quick"
concerns, its method of operation
is questionable, to say the least.
We do not pretend to know as to
whether the company is honest or
dishonest, and we print the caution
from the Mining World so that our
readers may be on their guard. If
the company is all right investiga-
tion will not do it any harm; and
if it is all wrong it will not do
prospective investors any harm to

FAKES AND FAKIRS.
Fresh Example Of Peoples FOndness
For Beint humbu6fed.

Brookhaven is crowded this
week with fakes, fakirs and suck
ers. What has been advertised
as the Merchants Free Street
Fair Carnival; high class, moral,
refined, up-to-date, new, novel
attraction" is here, and it is what
might well be defined as an ag-
gfegatien of low=elass fakes and
fakirs. which has Lit down upon
the community to play a skin
game for revenue only.
More than a dozen persons
from town and country have
asked The Leader how the mer.
chants and business men of
BroollfEhllateEea, who have such a
well earned reputation for intel
ligence and honest dealing with
the public, could have allowed a
fraud so transparent as she ag,
gre9atioa In question, to be pro-
claimed abroad as Merchants
Free Street Fair Carnival" and
come here and practically take
possession of some of the princi-
pal streets of the city for run
ming their skin games to catch
suckers. Our only answer Is
that the BhqokEhayen merchants
who got takenin In this way must
have been caught mapping, and
that they are now repenting at
leisure.
lnyestigation elicits the fact
that this grand aggregation of
skin games, which has been work,
ing various tewns in Mississippi,
and Is execrated in every town it
has visited, is under some sort
Of general head or management.
l1 Brookhaven, two well known
citizens and businessmen, Messrs,
Chas. Heuck and Eugene McCor-
mick, became interested in the
representations of one of it's
agents, and instituted steps to
have it exhibit in Brookhaven, ON
the idea that it would benefit the
town and community generally.
A petition was circulated by them
among the principal merchants
lofHnookhaven. praying the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen to grant
weeks license for the exhibit,
the Mayor called a special meet
ing of the Board to consider the
matter, and a license for the
grand fraud was issued In the
name of Messrs. Heuck and Nc
Cormiok for the nominal fee of
$a5.OO.
The business community has
been buncoed, the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen have been
buncoed, the suckers are being
buncoed every day, and assum.
ing that Messrs: Heueh and
Mccormick were badly buneoed
at the outset. they owe 1t to
themselves to repudiate the fake
and have their license revoked.
If they will not do this of their
own motion, the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen should at
once hold another called meet
ing, revoke the license and save
the community the three remain
ing days this com bination of
cheap humbugs is advertised to
exhibit in Brookhaven and order
them closed by the police.
This much Is due to the moral
and financial interests of the
people of the city, and the honest
country people who come here to
trade.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Little or nothing of interest developed yester-
day in the stock market. The opening showed
small fractional net changes from Tuesdays
close, and after a day of dulness, in which the
transactions were about one-half those of the
preceding day, prices closed irregular. with the
losses outnumbering the gains. Money was
easier, the call rate not going above 612 per
cent, and most of the days loans being effected
at So per cent. The public did not appear in
the market. and the professionals declined TO be
stimulated by Mr.. Keene's announced bullish-
ness into operating for rise. Instead, they
tried IN some instances to take their profits on
the recent rally. London sold heavily and
bought nothing. a further decline in prices of
wheat and corn, gratifying weather news
from the West, was well received in the stock
market, but did not avail TO advance the srang-
ers. Similarly, excellent net earnings for May
were reported by anthracite roads. following the
fine showing of the Reading on Tuesday; but the
coal stocks remained practically stationary. In
considering these increases il should be noted
that in May, 1902, with which month the COM
parison is made the great strike of the an
thracite coal miners was in full progress. The
Southern Railways net earnings for May were
$4,000 larger than year ago, and those of the
Union Pacific $120OO0 larger; but the St Paul
showed a decrease in net for that month of
S62S2. United States Steel common and pre-
ferred, despite the general feeling that tndI
great company had benefited materially by the
designation of an assistant to the utular presi-
dent each closed fractionally under Tuesday
The Hooking Valley plan not announced
but the growing conviction of the minority hold
ers of the common stock that no great solicitude
would be shown in the plan for their interests
was reflected in drop of that issue of nearly
six points, half Of the loss, however. being sub
sequently recovered. Another stock showing
much weakness was Colorado Fuel and Iron, be
cause of the uncertainty as TO the method
through which new capital is 10 be raised.
These are the days of Industrial breakdown and
rehabilitation, and with each new announcement
OF a trust in trouble speculation becomes more
active as TO which of the mutitudinous com
binations put together within the last few years
will be the next TO be obliged to confess fail
ure and undergo reorganization, and public con-
fdence in the stability OF the situation becomes
a shade weaker. a receiver has just been
named for the United States Shipbuilding Com
pany and now comes an application-perhaps
with no better foundation than that recently
directed against the United States Cast iron
Pipe and Foundry Company-for appointment
OF q receiver for the United Box Board ana
Paper Company. The days list is completed by
the announcement of two reorganization plans,
that of the New-England Cotton Yarn Company
involving heavy assessments on shareholders
and that of the United States Cotton Duck Cor
poration.
