cupied last winter by Joseph
Farley. McCarty will haul the
logs that were cut last summer
on the townsite into the lake and
will log the three forties south,

further south. A crew of
men has been at work this
week cutting roads under Fore

that hauling will be commenced
today. Some thirty men will be
employed.
The hauling Of this into the1ake

A TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT,

The wrong doings of exMayor
Ames Of Minneapolis has led
him ina way that has been very
hard indeed. By the decision OF
the supreme court, the prison
doors winch, CAPPED wide to re
ceiye him, have been made to
swing to, when it was all but too
late. But the punishment which
the old mayor has had laid upon
him.has been more grevious than
that visited upon most men for
their misdeeds even when they
have been as great offenders.
The former mayor, but short
time ago a strong, we'll balanced
confident man is now worn and
old and ready for the grave. His
sins have Overwhelmingly found
him out and their widespread
publication has been worse than
prison bars.
It is doubtful whetherthe man
will ever be tried again. He is a
broken man. His punishment
has been greater than any peni-
Tertiary could lay upon him. He
stands before the world fearfully
convicted and fearfully punished.
What more can man-do to him to
serve the ends of justice?

At the time Of the passage of the
bill promoters all over the state were
anxious to know the result of it's
adoption. As far as the state records
GO there has been no result, for not
one case been tried under that act.
II has had Its effect, however, and
promoters generality say that there
has been less illegitimate business
done In Washington since its passage
than ever before. The penalty IL
severe aud there Is a terror In such
punishment. Before the passage of
the bill the stock holders who had in
vested his money In worthless stock,
for the benefit Of the promoter, had
only civil action to recover his
money.
The bill is comprehensive and
covers almost every method Of fraud.
ulent dealing In stocks. II was
framed for the express purpose Of
stopping wildcat jobs. Before the
passage Of the bill many promoters
made money by defIsuding the In
vestors with extravaRsnt circulars and
prospectuses, but that is seldom
attempted now, az the law is feared.

Promoters Believe that
Business has Been En-.
Couraged by it.

washington has been one OF the
first states to enact legislation de.
signed especially to propect mining
investors from the operations Of
fraudulent schemers, says a Spokane
dispatch. 1t has been more than a
year since the legislature passed the
law to subject promoters who mis-
represented the facts concerning their
propositions to penalty, and 1t Is
il teresting at this time to ncte that
not one case has yet been prosecuted
under the statute. This circumstance
might lead to the opinion either that
thu authorities were lax In enforcing
the law or that the provisions Of IL
were not such as to reach those who
desired to perpetrate fraud, but the
father of the act expresses the opin-
ion that 1t Is In every way adequate
and that It has been effective In rails
ing the standard Of mining promo
tion operations In this state. lie
says that those who might be prone
to misrepresent their propositions
are deferred from so doing by the
new statute.
However this may be, the law Is a
good ore, so far as II goes, Snd
Washington promoters who have felt
that the industry is Injured by
fraudulent operators declare that It
serves as a protection to them aud
enables them to work without fear of
suspicion when 1t comes to the
statements which they make to the
public. Some Of them 60 so far as to
quote the law to their clients as an
indication that they could not
afford to misrepresent, even II they
were disposed to do so. In view Of
the fact that so many mining In.
vestors dwell In the east and have to
depend In great mesaure upon infor-
nation which they receive from the
west such q law gives them greater
confidence In the Investment business.
1t 10 the general opinion here among
those who have thought of the matter
that other operators IN other states
would do we'll to urge upon their
legislatures the enactment OF similar
laws.
rhe bill which has been enacted
into law by the state of Washington
was introduced into the legislature
by Joseph Lindsey, of Spokane,
January 20, 1908, it's purpose being
to check iliegitimate dealings IN
mining stocks.
1t is said to be one OF the most
severe measures of this nature ever
passed by any state and permits the
investor who has been defrauded
through false representations to pros
ecute the perpetrator In the criminal
courts. The act is as follows:
Section l. Any superintendent,
director, secretary, manager, agent
or other officer Of any corporation

London, Sept. Careful inquiries
in official and diplomatic quarters here
establish the fact that no hope pre-
walls of the termination of the war at
this moment as a result of the series
of victories obtained by the Japanese
at Liaoyang. There has been no in
terchange of official views by the neu-
trail European governments. What
discussion has occurred has been en-
tirely personal and has led to no re-
suits even to the extent of paving the
way to mediation. There is no thought
of intervention, the Associated Press
has learned, nor can there be any me-
diation without the consent Of both
parties and Russia, it is stated en-
phatically, does not find the moment
opportune to accept the good offices
of any power Japan, on the other
hand, is known to be less discontented
with the present situation and would
be willing to enter upon peace nego-
tiations if Russia could be induced to
do so. But Russia feels, according to
statements made in Russian diplo-
matte circles here, that she cannot
afford to accept peace until she has
completely vindicated her military
prestige, thereby reasserting her influ-
ence in Central and Far Eastern Asia.

MEN TO VOTE ON THE QUESTION

Chicago. Sept. G.-The Tribune says:
AS the result of a conference just held
between representatives of the unions
involved in the packinghOuse strike
and Of the owners of the plants the
end Of the long labor struggle is set
for the middle of this week.
An understanding was arrived at by
which the men will meet shortly and
vote on the question Of calling off the
strike. According to the plans made
they will be instructed to cast their
ballots in the affirmative.
The ending Of the strike in New
York city by the vote of the men on
Saturday was the first step. The set
tlement there made is the same as
that now proposed for Chicago.
Michael Killeen, president of the
Live Stock Handlers union; NickOla
Gier, president of the Packing Trades
council; John Floersch, secretary of
the council, and President DOnnelly
held a conference with w. E. Skinner
OF the Union Stock Yards and Transit
company. 1t was said possible peace
terms in the stock yards strike were
talked of. After the conference, how
ever Donnelly denied that submission
of the question of calling off the tieul
to vote of the strikers had been
definitely decided upon.

BURN BRIDGES BEHIND THEM
RUSSIANS EvACUATE THEIR PO.
sITloNs IN NElGHBoRHooD
OF LIAoYANG.

Yentai, Sept. 6.-The Russians
evacuated their positions around Lao
yang during the night of Sept. 3,
crossing the Taitse river and burning
the bridges behind them In the mean
time a strong force was holding Gen
eral Kuroki back from Yentai.
During the combined attack on Lao
yang, which commenced Aug. 80 by
General Ollu attacking from the south
east and General Nodzu from the
southwest, the shell fire was terrific,
in one instance htty-slX shells burst
ing at the same time.
The Japanese made fine infantry
attack They succeeded in reaching
the Russian trenches, but were re-
pulsed with heavy loss. The Japanese
shrapnel, as a rule, burst too high.
On the whole the day went well for the
Russians. The Japanese were driven
from villages along the railroad.
On Aug. 81 the shelling commenced
at daylight from all sides, but the
Russian infantry pressed forward.
Late that afternoon the news came
that Kuroki was threatening the rail
road at Yentai and the Russians COM
ulSuCSu W lCCl1C CAoO1AAS IAAO cHp
anese to bring up two batteries and
enfilade the Russian force along the
railroad.
On Sept. the Russians retreated
from their main position, which
formed circle around the city, while
the transport crossed the river. At 2
o'clock the Japanese succeeded in
placing two guns in position and
shelled the railroad station, resulting
in many casualties. At the same time
the Japanese infantry attacked the
inner Russian position, but were re-
pulsed. In the evening the Japanese
brought up heavy guns and used shi-
nose powder to shell the Russian
town. The Russians held the position
till the night Of Sept 8, when they re-
tired across the river.
Sept 2 strong Russian force was
moved east from Yentai to hold Ku-
roki back Kuroki attacked it and
was repulsed, being driven from his
positions on the left. The Japanese
poured in a terrific shrapnel fire, at
one spot annihilating two Russian COM
panies. In the evening the Russian
artillery, which had been reinforced,
shelled the Japanese position and Ku-
roki pushed his right forward and got
within twelve miles of the railroad at
Yentai Later he was driven back to
his original position.
Desultory firing occurred Sept. in
the vicinity of Mukden.

A deal'th of official

A dearth of official
either TOXIC or st. Petersburg and an
absence of press reports of current
date from the battlefield renders the
situation of Kuropatkin's retreating
army somewhat obscure. St. Peters
ourg reports unofficially that the Rus
sian army is still falling back, with
some rear guard fighting. An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Yentai, a
place about ten miles northeast OF
Liaoyang, makes the significant state
ment that desultory fighting occurred
around Mukden on Saturday last.
st. Petersburg sends an unconfirmed
report that General Kuropatkin was
compelled to abandon 200 guns at
LiaOyang, but adds that all of them
were first rendered useless. An Asso-
ciated Press correspondent sends a
private dispatch that the censOr'S
office has been removed from MukGen
to Harbin, which would account for the
delay in press dispatches.
