BARS THE GET-RICH-QUICkS
Postmaster General Starts Crusade
Against Such Companies.

WASHINGTON, May PA fraud Or
der has been issued against the Home
Cooperative company whose home Of
flee is in Kansas City, but which has
apolis, Des Moines, Milwaukee and
other northwestern cities.
A fraud order was issued against
this company in June, 1903, which it
unsuccessfully attacked in the courts
and then petitioned the postoffice de-
partment to have the order revoked,
promising to change the form of con-
tract and otherwise comply with the
departmental regulations. This petit
ton was granted last year.
Later some question arose as to the
methods of the company and postoffice
inspectors were put on it's trail. 1t
was found that the company was OPP
Grating under the old form of contract
and that the office expenses were con-
Stunning all the revenues, thus making
it impossible for the contracts ever to
be carried out. This is what led to
the second fraud order.
The numerous fraud orders issued
by the postoffice department during the
past few months mark the beginning
of a crusade against such institutions
All over the country a corps of expert
investigators is being put into the field
to look after them, and it is the hope
of the postmaster general that in
short time all these swindlers will be
denied the use of the mails. The cru

and consent of the president

FAIR ASSOCIATION EXPLAINS ITS
POSITION REGARING COUNTY
APPROPRIATION
Not One Cent of the Money Is to Be
Offered for Purses in the Racing
Events to Come off

To correct some misapprehension as
to the use to be made Of the $4,000
appropriated by the board of county
commissioners to aid the Walla Walla
Fair association, the following state
ment is made by the Walla Waila
County Fair associations:
First: OF the $4,000 it is proposed
to use $1,000 in the construction of a
permanent pavilion for the display of
agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducts and $500 for premiums on exhib-
it's. 1t is also agreed that not one cent
of this amount will be used for race
purses or any racing whatever.
Second: The pavilion will be con-
structed on ground decided to the
county by the Fair association, and the
ownership will remain in the county.
Third: The money is to be expended
under the supervision of three farmers
VI OliCl eoApdy CIS oCiCCtSU NY the
county commissioners.
Fourth: 1t is proposed to hold in
the pavilion exhibitions and entertain
ments similar to those given in the
Walla Walla fruit fair pavilion during
the six years of it's existence.
Fifth: The best exhibits in the ag-
riculturaI pavilion will be forwarded tC
the Lewis anu Clark exposition at
Portland. No doubt many eastern
tourists will make side trips from
Portland, and we may reasonably ex-
pect many of them to visit the Walla
Walla fair. A good display of our ag-
ricultural and horticultural products
will be a splendid advertisement fo1
the Walla Walla valley.
The Walla Walla Fair association
has one of the finest race tracks in the
west The sum of $4,000 has already
been expended in buildings ana
grounds. An agricultural pavilion is
the one thing most needed to make the
fair a success.

Brother in st. Paul.

WINONA, Mimi, May 2.-Relatives
and friends of C. w. Fenton are alarm
ed over mis- strange disappearance, no
trace of him having been found since
he left his home on Mounday after
noon. Fenton lived with his father-in-
law, J. w. Hardwick, a dairyman in
Gilmore valley, mile west of this
city.
At 8 o'clock Monday afternoon the
telephone rang and Fenton answered
it. He told his wife that it was a
long distance call from ST. Paul, stat
ing that his brother, Foster Fenton,
who works for Dwyer Brothers, plum
bers, had been run over by street

GIRL WITH THROAT sLAsHED
Police Look for Evidence to Hold Re
sort Inmates for a Murder.

WINNIPEG, Man., May "A trag-
edy that presents some remarkable
features has occurred here, and the po-
lice are still hesitating between two
theories-murder or suicide.
When notified of a suicide in the
house of DR.. Stark, on Martha street,
members of the force found that they
must break down the bathroom door
which was locked apparently on the
inside. Within they found the body of
a Polish girl, an inmate of the house,
who goes by the name of Lizzie, lying
in a pool of blood with her throat slit
from ear to ear and a blunt table
knife by her side.
Another inmate of the house which
bears reputation far from savory,
Florence Parker, was so incoherent
and agitated that little could be made
of her story, while the mistress of the
ing in a drunken stupor in the room
below.
From what could be gathered from
Florence it would appear that the dead
girl suddenly disappeared, and other
inmates of the house dragged up a step
ladder and saw her body lying on the
floor of the bathroom in the position
found. This was between and D.
M, but not until three hours afterwar1
were the police notified, and in the
meantime Mrs. Clark has apparently
gone on a lone spree, with death at her
elbow.
An inquest will be held and some sem
sational developments are expected, as
it is considered Impossible for the girl
to have inflicted so terrible wound
with the poor weapon found beside
her.
DR.. Stark was formerly a dentist in
good standing, and is now supposed to
be out of the city.

years, and under both a democratic

OUTPUT OF GOLD AND SILVER.
Production OF Gold in This Country in 1904
SsO.s78 100: Of silver. SIS 3 Is .0SS.


WASHINGTON. Sept. e.-The final estimate
Of the production of precious metals In
the United States in 1904, made public to-
day by the Director Of the Mint, gives an
increased output OF gold over the calendar
year Of S7lsl 500 and Of silver Of 900 fine
ounces. The total production Of gold last
year is placed at s.o04. 9s6 fine ounces, valued
at $50, 72S 200. and the silver output is esti-
mated at 81, 7s8, 100 fine ounces. of a oorn-
nercial value of $50 Sis, Oss and Of o coin
age value OF $114,zso,1 1888.
The largest gain in gold production was
in California, which yielded about 50 1000 900
more than in the previous year, and larger
amount than in any year since the COS.
This gain came chiefly from dredge
operations, and further gain is expected
during the current year and for some years
to come. The California State Mining
Bureau estimates the possible output OF
the dredges at $1,000, 900 per year for thirty
years .. .
Colorado shows an increase Of nearly
81 900, 600 In gold and 100000 ounces OF
silver, Alaska gain Of 100000 gold, Mon
tana a gain of 100000; Utah a gain OF
/ 800 900 and Idaho a gain OF 300 900 ounces
OF silver. Forty-eight per cent. Of the
silver was produced from lead ores, twenty
six from copper ores and the remainder
largely from ores which also carried gold.
The largest producer Of gold was Colo

SHONTS REPLIESss,

in Food Contract Complaint.

in Food Contract Complaint.
Chairman T. P. Shonts of the Panama
Canal Commission had further statement
to make yesterday in regard 10 the award
OF the contract for fseding the laborers
on the Isthmus to J.. E. Mnrtel Of Omaha,
which has caused two of the UNSUCCESSFUL
bidders to complain of collusion, to President
Roosevelt. Hudgins d Dumas, bidders,
said that they had put In the lowest bid.
whereupQn Mr.. Shonts had raised many
objections and had declared that their bid
was too low to be practicable.
Mr. Shonts said yesterday that Hudgins
4 Dumas had thanked him for calling their
attention to the unreasonable lowness Of
their. bid. This firm also said In their
complaint to the President. that they had
put In a very low bid because thew had
expected to mako profit from the sale Of
tobacco and general commissary stores.
the Panama Government lets contracts for
the sale OF tobacco annually and restricts
foreigners from selling oornmissary articles
1t would be unwise for the contractors to
count on that source OF revenue.
Another complaint made by Hudgin6 d
Markell was similar to their own. Mr..
Shonts said that the menus Of all the bidders
had been made part Of the specifications
and were therefore accessible to every bid
the complainants, he said. was the highest.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y. Sept. s,-The pro-
tests sent by the unsuccessful bidders for
the contracts to board the Panama Canal
employees and laborers were received at
the Executive Offices this morning. The
kilograms are said to have come last night
after the Executive Offices we're closed.
They charge COLLISION on the part Of j.
E. Markell Of Omaha, Neb., the successful
bidder.
The President referred the protests to
Chairman shonts, who awarded the con-
