CHEAT / ASTERN BANKER
Oregon Land Sold Many Times
State Loses 800 900 Acres.

Salem, Ore. Dec. 3.-Far more serious than any
previous development of the many land frauds
perpetrated in Oregon are the charges made in a
letter TO Governor George E, Chamberlain >yester-
day by State Land Agent Oswald West, who as
serts that by means of forged certificates of sale
Of school lands Eastern bankers have been swindled
out of large sums of money.
Not content, the land agent asserts. with having
defrauded Oregon of 100000 acres of school land,
nearly all the State possessed by means of dummy
entrymen, land operators prepared printed certif-
Gates Of sale and assignments and inserted in them
descriptions of school lands for which certificates
had previously been issued, and by forgeries Of
signatures and the great seal Of the state Of Ore
gon sold the lands time and again to innocent
persons in the East.
Il have discovered q large number Of these
forged certificates" says Mr.. West, "in the hands
of Eastern bankers. and the MAGNITUDE of the
frauds will not be known until the subject has
been given publicity and the Eastern holders have
sent in their certificates for examination. It is
possible that for every genuine certificate out
standing there may be from two TO a dozen fraudu-
lent ones.
Mr.. West concluded by saying that the forged
certificates are so well executed that It is dlHlcult
to distinguish them from the originals.

Ballot Would Change Their Natures.

At the peoples meeting in the Baptist Church
of The Epiphany, Madison-ave. and 64th-st., yes
1erday afternoon. the subject discussed was.
Would it be wise TO give women the ballot?"
The Rev. Madison c. Peters. who was the prin-
= SipaI speaker. expressed himself as opposed TO
such measure in somewhat radical terms, saying:
Would a woman's vote alter things? Yes if only
good women vote. Few good women would avail
themselves OF the privilege but all the had women

STATES WEALTH is DOUBLED
Big Increase in Prosperity Obviates
Need and Opportunity of
Eastern Capital.

THE Nebraska farmer pays of the
mortgage on his property so soon after
the debt is contracted that eastern money
lenders are no longer seeking so eagerly
after farm mortgage investments as they
once did," says an Omaha man who loans
large sums each year.
Another indication of the states pros
perity is the fact that the farmers are
lending to each other, instead of going to
the east for their using eastern capital.
In other words, local money is supplanting
foreign capital
There is plenty OF eastern money seek
ing investment in farm lands here, but the
investors grumble because they have 70
place 1t in farms. The farmers ALWAYS
require in the contract a clause to the
effect that after two years 400 or anv
multiple of that sum may be paid on the
mortgage.
Raising good crops and selling them at
good prices, the debt is paid of in four or
FIVE years and the capitalists money is
idle until he can find another investment.
At least rs per cent OF the mortgages made
five years ago have been paid on or before
maturity.
"Nebraska's bank deposits in 1900 were
$50 1872 O16.s7. In 1908 they were $102 1sO 1876 ST.
These are the figures given by the state
bureau of labor. Since 1903 deposits have
increased about $150O0,O0O Considering the
increase in the value of land. horses, cattle
and buildings, the material wealth OF the
state has almost doubled since 1890"

sentative said For the last four days
the boat has approached the drawbridge
at East Omaha with the usual four
whistles as signal to open the draw to
allow the steamer to pass, but those in
charge of the bridge have refused to swing
the draw. The matter was brought to
the attention of the local representatives
of the Illinois Central, but the contention
has been made that they are not required
to open the bridge as the Missouri here is
not open to navigation. Last evening Mr..
Baughman teegraphed Chief Engineer
Chittenden at st. Louis, government COM
missioner for the Missouri river, setting
forth the facts of the case, and an answer
is expected this morning. The steamboat
management has advertised to take passen-
gers to Florence and is now cut off from
progress up the river, Unless the railroad
people consent to open the bridge today
Mr.. Baughman will enter suit Immediately
in the United States court"
