firm had sent cruisers into the north

begin to pick UP lands until 1897.
Mr.. Walker secured by purchase the
lands Of the Sierre Land company, the
White Horse Lumber company, the
Hat Creek Lumber company, a lot
from the Southern Pacific, some from
John McAlpin of Duluth and from
the Collateral bank Of San Francisco.
This was all located many years ago.
He bought considerable amount also
from settlers, most of whom had To-
Gated it ten or fifteen years ago.
Scrip Cheaper Than Stool Pigeons.
Mr.. Walker gave figures to show
that timbermen, aside from other con-
siderations, could get land by apply
ing scrip much cheaper than by locat-
ing stool pigeons under the stone and
timber act
For the $50 acres which is allowed
each person, the expense would be
about ,$475. This would include the
government price of $500, cruiser fee
Of $50 and land office fees of $25.
BY applying forest reserve scrip on
the same land the cost would be $500.
This leaves difference of only 1926
with which to pay the travelling ex-
penses, hire and living for sixty days
Of stool pigeons whose employment
in the land frauds is charged. The
timber being of the same value,
whether obtained under the timber
and stone act OF by scrip purchase
the lumbermen say it, would be more
profitable, to say nothing of the con-
sideration of honesty, to buy the scrip
and apply it on new tracts.

bulletin there yesterday stating that
q receiver would be appointed. The
decision came to them in the nature OF
a surprise. They had been selling
stocks, expecting a big drop in the
quotation, when they would have an
opportunity to buy back at much lower
prices what they had previously sold.
Under the circumstances as they
actually occurred 1t became necessary
to do something that would bring
about conditions in the stock market
as nearly as possible corresponding to
what would have occurred had Judge
Clancy acted with less moderation,
and SO. when Mr.. Rogers was advised
about the occurrences 3at the court
house he Immediately sent word to Mr..
Scallon to close down everything.
The provisions of Judge Clancy's
order are nearly Identical with the or

peals in the merger case against the
consolidation of the Northern Pacific
hallway company and the Great
Northern Railway company. These
two railroads have as much reason to

Beauregard, the Confederate COM
mander in Charleston. He had picked
up little knowledge of Federal sig
nails by studying the signal flags taken
from the wreck of the ironclad Keo-

secrets in the Federal feet or camps

signals,
