almost double the minimum paid second

The figures or our Department OF Ag-

lahorcrs hired by the year or season, the
rates where the engagement il by the

and ~ cents without board. in 1894.
This would make the pny, with board.

According to John Mcintosh of Vic
toria, B. c., son of Ex-Governor Nc
Intosh of British Columbia. Spokane
people who have secured coal claims
in the Kootenai country are strictly
in luck. Mcintosh has been in Spo-
kane for several days securing from
claimhOlders contracts to dispose of
their holdings. Mcintosh states that
there are a number of eastern capi-
talists, with whom he has been ne
gotiating, who are ready to invest
millions in these coal fields as soon
as the preliminaries can be arranged.
Mcintosh before coming to Spokane
had secured the right to represent a
great number of Canadian claimhold-
ers, most of whom are included in
what is known as the Grand Forks
group. While here he concluded ne
gotiatioms with the Spokane group,
which included about $50 claimants,
mostly Spokane residents, and the
Anderson group, about SIS claims, and
the Jones group, Is claims. all Spo-
kane people. These groups either
have been or will be incorporated and
all the claims will be sold in lump.
Mcintosh represents about $50 claims,
which means $50 square miles. Nc

Big MONEY in COAL
FOR SPOKANE PEOPLE

Intosh hinted while In Spokane that
the Rockefellers had their eye on this
coal field and that he had several
people in view who stood ready to
build a railway into the heart of the
field and spend 100000 to 1900, 600
in opening up the territory. About
the country and it's coal Mcintosh had
this to say:
II have been over the greater part
of what Is called the coal district and
personally inspected this coal. There
are some magnificent outcroppings.
measured one seam that was 16 feet
thick. The coal Is of fine looking
quality, much like the Crows Nest
pass product. There is no doubt that
the district Is worth millions and will
make it's future owners wealthy"
Mr.. Mcintosh stated that there was
only one part Of this field in which
the claims were in conflict and over
which there would be litigation. He
stated also that there was no guess
tion but that the dominion govern.

and will at once take up the work Of

Mr.. Turner was the ablest member

He was actively a supporter Of, and in

HEALTH OFFICE AND CONTRACTOR
ARE IN CAHOOTS

, I know Costello would not permit nim
to make the connection"
The inspector saw that he had to
deal with woman who knew too
much. She was not to be bluffed.
When Mrs. Lewis told him plainly
that she knew the situation he sneak
ed away without word. The little
graft that the inspector had fixed up
with Costello could not be worked
on Mrs. Lewis.
The same scheme has been worked
on other property holders along
Third avenue. The inspector with
his star is able to gain admittance to
the houses. Where they have plumb
ing to do he orders it done. He or
ders the householdcrs to connect with
Costello's sewer. 1t is an easy graft
and, misrepresenting as he does. the
inspector has little trouble In bluffing
the people into contracting with Co.'S
tello to connect them with the sewer.
The inspector is not doing this
kind of business for his health. Nor
Is 1t hardly possible that a man could
long be at this kind of work without
the health office becoming aware of
II. The only conclusion to reach is
that Costello and the health office are
going hand in hand looking for easy
money.
But the plan is so smooth. the de-
ccit so dsspicable. that an officer of
the city, giving orders in his official
capacity, has little trouble in bull
dczing people into paying out their
money to the contractor for distri-
button among the chosen few.

ARRESTED

Hiram Beasley, aged 90. was ar
rested this morning by Detective Nc
Dermott and charged with burglary.
Beasley was arrested through the IN
strumentality of John Henry and
James Bridges, two boys who were
Beaslcy's victims.
According to the story told by the
boys, they were riding on top of
boxcar into Spangle Thursday night
when Beasley came towards them and
covered them with 44-calibre re-
volver The boys told him that they
had $3.50 with them, but did not have
to give it up Immediately.
Beasley ordered them TO get off the
train and accompanied them to the
depot. do you want to get bullet
through you?" he asked
'No."
"Well then, go into the station and
find out whether there is a train going
out again tonight"
The boys did as they were hidden
and found that there would be no
train out that night. Beasley then
warned them to keep quiet and order
ed them to accompany him to lodg-
ing house. There the bandit rented n
room and ordered the two boys to go
to bed. While they were undressing
Beasley went over to a trunk. 1t was
locked lie ordered Bridges to force
it open, but the boy refused, Beasley
, then got knife from Henry and
forced the lock open. lie put on the
slippers and hid his own shoes under
the bed. Later Beasley decided to go
to bed himself.
At o'clock Beasley awakened the
boys and ordered them to dress lie
took them out the back way and or
dered them to board a train which
was standing at the station. Beasley
crawled under the train and rode the
on the same train with him, SO let
the train so without them.
The boys arrived in the city here
yesterday noon. Last evening Bridges
spotted Beasley on the street in COM
pany with another man. He kept a
watch on him. This morning he call
ed at the police station for an officer.
McDermott was assigned to the case
and picked the man up on the street.
When arrested Beasley had a bundle
with him in which were rolled a re-
volver. similar to the one described
by the boys, and the razor stolen
from the lodging house. He also had
$40 In money.

him on the Alaska commission, where
his ability was considered on an
equality with his republican assocf-
ates, Secretary Root and Senator
Lodge.
Mrs. Turner was Miss Bertha Dre-
her of Montgomery, Ala, her father
having formerly resided at New
Haven, Conn. where she was born.
Her fathers name was George Dreher.
Mrs. Turner has been one of the most
genial of social leaders In Spokane.
She has living here a brother. George
Dreher, teller in the Exchange Ma
tional bank, and a sister, Mrs. ID. A.
Clement. Another sister, Mrs. w. G.
McAdams, resides in Louisburg, Tenn.
Mr.. Turner is somewhat of a poli-
tician, has more of the attributes of
a statesman, but, above all, is jurist
and his friends would like to see him
on the supreme bench Of the United
States. When he was married Mrs.
Turner's mother predicted that some
day he would be president of the
United States.

The health Office is after graft as
well as the other offices in the city
hall. Developments this week show
that the health office and Peter Co.'S
tello, the contractor who is putting
in the Third avenue sewer, are very
closely allied.
Early this week a man who called
himself the plumbing inspector called
at the home of Perry Lewis, E1O
Third avenue.

sewer out there" said the inspector
We'll, / don't have to do it right

yes, right away, and the sooner
the better
But" said Mr.. Lewis, "the sewer
isn't completed yet. They have a
great deal of it to build yet"
THAT makes no difference. 1t is
completed past your house and you
will have to make the connection -
But Mrs. Lewis was not a woman
to be easily bluffed. Besides she
thought there was something fishy
about the order.
Wants Job for Contractor.
II am not going to connect with
that sewer at present" she said final
ly. THAT sewer does not yet belong
to the city. 1t Is the property of the
contractor and until it is accepted by
the city I have no right to connect
with it. l suppose If l gave a con-
tract to Costello to connect with the
sewer he would do 1t, but If l gave

There is no occasion to give Mr..
Turner public reception at this
time, but he will be heartily greeted
by his fellow townsmen who appreci-
ate his worth. a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country,
yet Spokane citizens are capable of
appreciating and prizing Il man of
Mr.. Turner's ability and specially
one who has been given so much dis
tinction outside of his own state.

BACON IN
TROUBLE

r. o. Bacon, the editor of the New
Time, a socialist publication, was ac-
quilted yesterday afternoon by JUS
tice Hinkle of the charge of picking
the pocket of r. e. Brown. Bacon
put up a strong alibi and was ac-
quilted.
But Bacon took his acquittal too
joyfully. He left the courtroom in
company with the complaining wit
ness. When the pair reached the
street Bacon started to abuse Brown
with language not suited for use on
the sidewalk. Bacon saw that he had
been guilty Of disorderly conduct and
returned to the courtroom, where he
informed the court that he was will
ing to plead guilty and receive sem
tence without trial. Judge Hinkle
did not see things this way, but or
dered Bacon put under arrest and
fixed the bond at $3.50, which was fur
nished.

He fought the matter through the
courts of British Columbia and Wash
ington and finally won and forced
the buyers to pay the minority stock
holders $S.11 a share. The majority
Of the stockholders already had re-
ceived their s6 a share and they did
not receive more. Mr.. Turner staked
about all he had and showed what
was considered foolhardy nerve. but
he won.
Mr.. Turner owns a beautiful home
at the head of Howard street, which
is worth perhaps $4,000. He owns
other real estate which brings him
rentals of nearly $1,000 a month and
he has law practice which is worth
several thousands of dollars a year.
1t is said IL he chose to devote his
time entirely to his private affairs
and his law practice he would have
an annual income Of $4,000 or $780,

of the most emotional men, in fact,
yet at no times does he permit his
feelings to gain the control of his
dignity. He feels keenly distress or

He is absolutely fearless. being NOV

Fred c. Laming, one of the partners
in the II. & II. Employment office, was
fined $25 and costs this morning by
Justice Hinkle for gross fraud.
Laming was arrested on complaint
of four men whom he sent to Borax,
Mont, to work as common laborers.
When the men arrived at the lumber
mill to which they had been sent they
found that there was nothing for
them to do. After waiting around a
while the men returned to Spokane
and hunted Laming up. They de-
manded a return of their fee and also
that the agent pay them their railway
fares and expenses. This Laming re-
fused to do and his arrest followed.
The defendant attempted to show
that the men went on a jaunting trip
and were unwilling to work at any
but one particular kind of labor. The

he had no doubt but that fraud was
practiced and that the men were sent

that Laming had ample opportunity
to make amends and settle with the
men, but the facts showed that he
had not even offered to return to
them their fees.
