called a food, and from the fact that
the pail in which it is sold for $3.50
contains some 1000 feeds. It's pur-

A FRAUD EXPOSED.

Agents who claim they are repres-
enting reliable houses in Portland and
Seattle are working a clever scheme to
defraud the ranchers.
Their game is to introduce them
selves as representing a certain COM
pany. and solicit orders for tea, coffees,
spices, etc.
After the agent has obtained good
ly supply of orders he returns to the
city to have them filled. AS a matter
of fact he has been sent out by an I'M
scrupulous house to sell their goods I'M
der a special brand.
These goods are of such inferior and
adulterated stuff as to be unfit for hu-
man consumption.
The orders for coffee are filled at a
wholesale COST of 13 cents a pound
the rancher paying 95 cents per pound
"a profit of % cents on every pound
or $3.50 for every 25 pound order. Or
ders for spices and extracts are filled In
like proportion
1t is an easy graft to work for there
are always people who have foollsn
old fashioned notion that they are be-
ing overcharged by the local merchant
of his town, and think they have an
opportunity ito get back
AS matter of fact it is pernicious
form of highway robbery. For not only
is the rancher robbed but the local
merchant is defrauded of trade that
legitimately belongs to him.
The money that rightfully belongs TO
that community and town is taken
away from it. The harm done is I'M
limited. We can only warn those in
terested to watch out for those wolves
in disguise.
Buy your staples from reliable
house. buy a reliable brand, and rest
assured that the articles you get are
pure and wholesome and that money
has been spent on their production.
These fiy-by-nights, box-car oper-
ators or whatever you choose to call
them are easily recognized, for like
the mosquito and other blood suckers,
they always appear in the summer and
fall when their victims have money
and are generous in spending it.
