BAKER COUNTY NEXT.

Federal Officials are Looking Into Pos
sible Land Frauds
That there is reason to believe that
Baker county entries under the timber
and stone act are passing through
microscopic investigation at the hands
of certain federal officials has been made
manifest to number OF people in these
parts, but they are not shouting their
knowledge from the house tops or mix
ing it with beverages, says the Baker
City Herald.
Two months ago County Clerk Combs
was requested by officials at Washing
ton to furnish them with verified and
certified list of all the entries made and
filed in this county during the year 1908.
The list was furnished as requested and
found to contain 167 names.
Beyond this request he was asked to
do nothing but since then several men
known to be connected with the several
departments involved in land fraud in
vestigations have put in appearances
here, gone out to Sumpter and out into
the John Day country, thence to La
Grande and then to Portland. Precau-
ton to avoid publicity Of their move
ments is something in which these spec
ials are adept and there is little in their
wake to tell of their work.
