fed with the project
The Government originally held up
large sections of the land acquired
by 'he Barber Lumber Company, as
well as other lands selected by the
State of Idaho, on the ground that
the land was mineral in character and
not subject to timber location. 1t
was owing to this contention that
Steunenberg sought out certain Gov
eminent influences ard tried to ascer-
tain the nature of the opposition on
the part of the Government. He did
not believe there was any justice in
the Governments contention, but he
did believe that some of the Federal
officials in Boise might have a self
ish purpose in thwarting his plans be-
cause of his refusal to entertain over
lures from the source.
District Attorney Ruick seems to
have been the first person to appre-
ciate the commercial value of the
timber lands in the Boise Basin. His
public positions prevented him bar
tering in these lands; but even be-
fore Downs and Wells bought up
their first timber claims, he had or
ganized a railroad corporation to
build road from Boise to the tim
Der lands. AS soon as the Barber
Lumber Company was organized,
Ruick held himself out of that cor
poration as the promoter of this en-
terprise, for which he had secured
a franchise and right of way. Reg
lister E. E. Garrett of the local Land
Office in Boise-having certain judi
cial powers in passing upon the titles
to timber lands-.was a director in
Ruick's railroad corporation, fact
which Ruick did not allow to escape
the attention of the lumber company.
But most significant of all is the
fact that long prior to these nego-
tiations much of the evidence adduced
at the Borah trial had been testified
to before Register Garrett in pro-
ceedings growing out of the same
frauds charged in the indictment.
One of the first duties of Senator
Borah, as attorney for the Barber
Lumber Compa. was to pass upon
Ruick's railroad proposition. He
turned it down, and six months after
the Barber Lumber Company finally
rejec.ed Ruick's overturcs for a bust
ness alliance, Ruick secured its in
dictment from a grand jury.
Senator Borah was to take his seat
on December A. The question of his
guilt or innocence must be first de-
termined. He therefore demanded a
speedy and separate trial. He waiv-
ed the question as to whether his
alleged crime had been condoned by
the statute of limitations. His coun-
sci agreed that it had; many other
able lawyers agreed with them. Sen
ator Borah also refused to take ad-
vantage of the irregularities charged
hos

from Boise. 1t has never been claim
ed that Senator Borah had any per-
sonal interests in the Barber Lumber
Company, or held or owned any of
its stock He received a salary as
attorney for the company and re-
signed his attorneyship at the time
of his election to the Senate.
The Federal law regarding timber
lands provides that any citizen of the
United States may take up a timber
claim, paying the Government there
for at the rate of $2.5o per acre.
The law, however, prohibits the ac-
QUESTION of more than one hundred
and sixty acres by any one person,
and it requires that the land so emit
cred shall be for the exclusive use
and benefit of the entryman. After
making his entry, and complying with
the law in other respects, the entry
man may sell or otherwise dispose
of his timber land so acquired from
the Government; but he must not
beforehand contract to sell it to any
other person, nor must he, secretly
or otherwise, resort to any scheme
by which the land is taken up with
the intention of disposing of it to any
particular person of corporation.
Back in 1901, Patrick Downs, a tim
Der cruiser, who had migrated from
an Eastern timber region, and John
!. Wells, miner, got some of their
friends to take up timber claims in
the Boise Basin, which they after
ward acquired. Their funds ran low.
William Sweet miner who had just
sold mine, was urged to become
interested in the timber project
Sweet bought out the interests of
Patrick Downs and John l. Wells
and then bought up other timber
claims until he had $4,000 invested.
Then he went to Boise and tried to
get Others interested. He finally go;
former Governor Stcunenberg to en-
ter into partnership with him, the
partners giving their joint note to
Boise bank to secure the financial
nucleus for the further promotion OF
the enterprise. Later, Stcunenberg,
who, in the phrase of Sweet, got
cold feet" and wanted to sell out,
went to Spokane and tried to inter
est A. B. Campbell. Campbell refer
red him to A. E. Palmer, who put
Steunenberg in touch with J. T. Bar
Der and Summer G. Moon, two Wis
consin capitalists who operated in
timber on large scale. Barber and
Moon agreed to buy out Steunen-
berg and Sweet, if Steunenbcrg would
agree to secure twenty-five thousand
acres of timber lands at not to ex-
coed $3.50 an acre. Steunenberg was
to become interested in the new COM
pany, which was to be known as the
Barber Lumber Company.
Out of three hundred and thirty
nine timber locations acquired by the

the trial. He secured the indictment
Of Frank Steunenberg, a dead man,
. thing never before heard Of
No purpose could be subservcd by
indicting Steunenbcrg other than to
blacken his memory and create
public sentiment favorable to those
charged with his assassination. An
indictment is necessary preliminary
to trial, and that only, and Steu-
nenberg could not be brought to trial;
but his ghost was brought to the bar
of justice, as part of general cam
paign cleverly managed and heavily
capitalized, which was undertaken in
Idaho at the time The indictment
was signed by the foreman without
being read to the grand jury and
without knowledge on the part of
some of the grand jurors as 10 who
was being indicted. Both before and
after the indictment was secured,
Ruick resorted to the most desper-
ate methods in attempting to Sweat"
witnesses, women as well as men.
These things were taking place in
March and April, and the trial of w.
D. Haywood was set for May. An
affidavit is in existence in which
reputable citizen of Salt Lake City
swears that shortly after the grand
jury adjourned, one of the attorneys
for Meyer, Haywood, and Pettibone
told the Salt Lake man that the in
dictment of Senator ,Borah had cost
his clients fifteen thousand dollars.
The indictment of Senator Borah and
Ex-Governor Steuncnbcrg was a mat
ter of caricature and comment in the
Socialist press which circulated free
ly and gratuitously throughout Idaho
prior to Il e Haywood trial. 1t had
marked effect on public sentiment
in Idaho.
If those in charge of the Govern
ment prosecution had so desired,
Steunenberg's name need not have
been mentioned in connection with
the timber frauds until the evidence
was brought out at the trial; but
this course did not seem to meet
with the approval of the Federal Of
ficials of Idaho. By securing the in
dictment of the dead man the Fed
eral officials seemed anxious to smirch
his memory in time to help those
who were charged with his assassi-
nation. The people of Idaho were
of course, shocked to learn of the in
dictment of Borah and Steunenberg.
They could not quite understand it.
1t never occurred to them that the
Federation officials might be sitting
in friendly game with the men
charged with the assassination OF
Steunenberg. Then the intere sted
ones began to declare that one side
was as bad as the other, and the
gullible ones swallowed the bait and
began to be less concerned about the
punishment which should be melted
