The Bill-Posters' Meeting.

The Semi.Annual meeting Of the
Pacific Coast Association of Bill Post
ers was held in Seattle, last Friday, at
which w. H. Lee, of Santa Rosa, Cal,
presided, and R. G. Spaulding, of
Boise, Idaho, as Secretary, kept the
records of the meeting as well as Of
the organization, both officers having
been at the head of executive affairs
of the organization for several years
past.
The meeting was called to order at
10 A. NJ, in rooms in the Seattle Ho-
tel, where several sessions were held
during the day, with augmented men,
bers at each successive meeting, some
having had many weary miles to travel
to meet with their brethren.
The topics of discussion we're not of
much public interest, relating gen.
orally to matters OF detail in the trade
represented. One matter, was the
subject of congratulation, by resolution
to the National organization. and was
of interest enough for the public to be
taken into confidence. 1t was the re-
suit of that generous happy-thought
of the National body in making a
a tender of the free use OF the AS
sociation's facilities for publicity to
the st. Louis Fair management, at the
time when it was confronted by the
enevitable result OF an alarming de-
felt when the gates were finally closed.
A million miles of boards were ten
dered, absolutely free, and thankfully
accepted by the directors, to awaken
an interest in the greatest fair ever
held, and the result was as immediate
as it was gratifying. All over the
United States and Canada the throng
has begun to wend its way to St.
Louis, and is increasing in a ratio
that removes all apprehension of loss.
as we'll as demonstrating the effective
ness OF billboard publicity.
Representatives were present in per-
son from many parts Of the State, and,
by proxy from California and Idaho.
They were as fine appearing class Of
men as ever assembled in convention,
and seemed fully imbued with the
spirit of co operation in all matters of
mutual interest and profit. AS an in.
stance of this, % per cent. of their
dues, aggregating nearly $1,000 per
annum, was set aside as a sinking
fund, for protection of any member
whose rights may be assaulted by cor
porate or other power. The officers of
the association are specially to be COM
mended for their interest in and de-
votion to the objects Of the organiza-
ton. The annual meeting of the as.
ISOLATION will be held next spring, at
Los Angeles. Cal.
A banquet in the evening, at which
the association we're guests of Foster
& Kleiser, ended a very enjoyable as
we'll as what had been a very profit
able session. These gentlemen are
royal entertainers, and made the
weary pilgrims from abroad feel in
deed at home by their hospitality and
cheer.

The Guaranty" Was Good.

Seattle never does anything by
halves and that is probably the reason
why two thousand of her citizens in
vested in the Pacific States Mercantile
Co.'S scheme for making hundred per
cent. profits in few months time.
The plan was SO simple, no wonder
they bit, the " hackle" was arrayed in
such alluring colors that it caused a
rise" at every cast. 1t was to pay IS
down and $l.5O per week for thirty
consecutive weeks, making $50 in all.
In return the victim was promised 500
worth OF merchandise. If he did not
want the goods, he was privileged to
draw $50 in cash, which was paying
500 for the use of $50 thirty weeks.
The gold.brick operators opened bust
ness in Seattle in March, 80 now most
of the victims are living in hope OF
receiving their 500 in goods or the
equivalents" Attachments have been
filed on everything the company has
in sight at San Francisco, by some
California dupes whose contracts have
matured. The general agent of the
company, man named Kimball, is
said to have resigned and is now Pres.
ident OF the Mutual Trust Co Op-
eratlve Investment Co. of Seattle.
Whether this is local effort to re.
cover the $lO0,000 that has been blown
in on the get-rich-quick company OF
our sister State, or is legitimate con-
Germ, can only be conjectured, but the
prospectus, it is said, "makes a fell
low feel like buying diamonds" and
reads very much like the spell given by
General Agent Kimball in canvassing
for contracts.
From the fact that it is claimed the
Seattle victims were given a special
guaranty by the voluble solicitor, it
seems as if they may be parties to
some extent to the fraud. The plan
of the Eastern get-rich.quick schemes
has been to appropriate due proper
ton of the money derived from the
victims to payment of very few
promises made in the contracts, as a
mere means Of advertisement to secure
other vic Tins. 1t may be that our
bright Seattle neighbors, when they
expressed doubts of ability of the COM
pany so make such astounding prom
Uses, we're assured that they would be
placed among the preferred class of
guaranteed patrons. This, it will be
observed, is the old lottery dodge OF
promising prize in favored commun-
tiles to stimulate business, each victim
hugging the delusion till the drawing
takes place, and then finding that all
of his neighbors have been LANDED"
by the same baited hook.

filled the Office OF Territorial Executive
, he related an anecdote which disclosed
AS we'll peculiar trait of character of
another high Federal officer, Judge
Greene, who was an Associate Justice
for contemporaneou tenure and was
Chief Justice at the close OF the Gov
ernor's term. 1t seems that some
very serious, but trumped up charges,
had been preferred against the Cover
nor, whose public and private life was
OF exceptional purity, by an officer OF
the court, appointed by the Supreme
Judges. The letters embodying the
charges were placed in possession OF
the Governor and bore the signature
OF protested friend of the Executive
who was protege OF the Judge as
we'll. The Governor, one day, stated
supposititious case to the Judge en-
bodying the conduct of his appointee,
and asked him what he thought of
such pcrfidy. The reply was that no
punishment could be too severe for
such decei, practiced by a friend and he
was traitor to all social amenities. In
fact, the Judge could hardly find lam
guage to express his detestation of
such duplicity. The Governor then
quietly handed him the letters signed
by his own honored and trusted ap-
poiutee. What was his surprise, when,
after careful and deliberate reading,
the Judge laid them down and in his
frequently assumed apostolic manner,
uttered the pharisaical exhortation,
Brother, let us pray for him" The
appointee held his position, notwith-
standing the Judges unqualified con.
domination Of his conduct, a complete
verification of the old story of "My
Bull and Your Ok"
Mr.. Tull had good story to tell at
the expense OF "mine host" of the
Washington. Among the original ex.
pedients for promoting publicity, Mr..
Moore had some cards printed in imi-
tation of the annual passes flashed to
sight by those specially honored on
steamboat or car. They read:

THE Populist State Convention, held
in Seattle Tuesday. put up ticket Of
Watson electors but concluded not to
nominate q State ticket. A resolution
was introduced by Cotterill, who some
months ago bolted the National Demo.
cratic ticket, bitterly denouncing Sen.
ator Turner for Governor, and as he
was a member of the platform com.
mittee, it passed the convention by a
small majority.
