Iowa Falls. Jan. IL. = 1t is manifest
that "thcre'll be something doing" at
the annual meeting of the Iowa-Lil-
looet Gold Mining Company to be held
in this city tomorrow. A big turn
out is looked for, since the offices Of
the company are to be abandoned for
the day and the big meeting will be
held at the w. r. G. hall, which has
been rented for that purpose. Just
what is going to happen is a matter of
conjecture. 1t is certain that every
stakeholder in the Inflated company
that can be here will be in the round
up and that many who are not stock
holders will seek to gain admission to
the meeting armed with proxies. III
the entire number of shares issued are
not represented either in person or by
proxy. 1t will not be the fault of those
interested i'm learning where Big Liz
is at Since the announcement that
the company had gone wrong, inves-
tigation has been the watchword of
all and committees have investigated
to their hearts content. attorneys have
been consulted and looked wise, but
naught of an official nature has ever
emanated from headquarters that
might give the public an inkling as to
the true condition of affairs. Being
left to form it's own conclusions the
public has jumped at some of them.
and may have flown wide of the mark.
Many stories have gained currency
With all the investigating that has
been done, it is said the stockholders
are as much in the dark regarding the
company's real condition as the public
at larSN
This meeting will determine the flu
ture of the comapny that has gathered
together thousands of dollars of Iowa
money and put it in a claim and Il
dredge on the Frazier river in far
way British Colunia. Whether the
affairs will be wound up, or whether
the men now at the helm will try and
pull the tangled affairs OF the COM
pany together and go ahead and try to
make the original proposition pay out,
are questions that the meeting tomor-
row can answer. With the affairs Of
the Lillooet Company put In In shape
to either W1nd UP OF go dHedu, lHe
company's twin sister, The Hawkeye
Co. will come in for its inning. The
affairs of the latter company appear
to be equally dilapidated and IT Is
intimated that plenty of red-hot iliti-
CATION will result in the adjustment of
the company's financial affairs. 1t
already has a big suit in the federal
court and more are said to be brewing.
Some people still have faith In the
propositions on which these two
comanies were based, but many more
would be willing to get back their in
vestment.

do so. The round trip rate from all

North Carolina Tobacco. Trust Methods
May Be Investigated.

AOOOAhOJ IA oAA ASA 40
here on important business, the be-
lief being that he was summoned to
Washington by the department of
justice for a conference with refer
ence to the Investigation of the
methods of the American Tobacco
Company, which the administration
is conducting with the view of max
ing out a case of violation of the
provisions of the antitrust law.
Interest in MI. SINNERS visit
was increased when it became known
that he was in conference with the
encouragement and the interstate
commerce commission during the
day. It is known that Mr.. Skinner
furnished the commission with GER
tain data and that he held quite a
lengthy conference with members of
the body. As was to be expected,
the district attorney declined to dis
cuss the object of his visit. He ION
fined himself to the simple state
ment that he is here on official bus
mess.
While it is practically certain that
Mr.. Skinner was summoned here
with respect to the prosecution of
the alleged tobacco trust, his confer
enc with members of the interstate
commerce commission is not easily
explained, unless it be that he fur
nished evidence of some sort with
reference to rebates given the Amer
lean Tobacco Company by railroads
that operate in the South. The
question of rebates has not arisen
in the South the offense being con-
fined largely to Western railroads.
and this idea was secuted in some
quarters to-day. The interstate
commerce commission has no rela-
ton whatever to Mr.. Roosevelt's
trust buster arrangements, and so
SINNERS information which he
could not have related to
the investigation of the tobacco
trust, unless it involved the ques-
ton of railroad rebates.
There is no authoritative infor-
nation on the subject, but the belief
prevails that Mr.. Skinner has been
directed to begin an investigation
into the methods of the American
Tobacco Company in Eastern Car
Dina, as has been recently intimat-
ed would be the case since it became
Known that the administration was
n earnest. North Carolina is the
home of the parent company, and an
'ficial of the department of justice
made the remark to-day that it was
he finest field, in the United States
or probing into the methods of the
o-called trust. +
The first information published
anywhere that the President con-
emplated an aggressive fight on the
LEGGED tobacco trust appeared in
his correspondence two days after ;
