George 8. Long Produces Letter In

\ to Serve as Dummy"
Entryman

BY Associeted Press.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 2S.-Mention Of the
Weyerhausers, the owners of the vast
timber land tracts in the northwest, was
made in the trial of United States SEN
ator Borah today for the first time when
George s. Long Of Tacoma, WASH. took
the stand and stated that in response
to request from James T. Barber of
Eau Claire, Wis, he had allowed his
name to be used as dummy trustee
in the acquisition of Idaho timber lands.
He produced letter from Mr.. Barber
making the proposition as follows: "Ex-
igencies have arisen which make 1t de-
sirable to pass the title to certain lands
in Idaho through some party entirely
removed from association with the Bar
Der Lumber company, these crcum-
stances being similar to those which made
1t desirable to use my name In connec-
ton with some of the Weyerhauser Tim
Der company's property. / have there
fore taken the responsibility of directing
the placing of title to certain lands In
you,
Long said he had been close friend
Of Barber for seventeen years. He re-
ceived no compensation as trustee, never
saw any of the deeds, did not employ
Senator Borah as counsel and in fact
never met the senator until this year.
The attoroneys for the defense asked
Long what the "exigencies" referred to
by Barber meant.
"I supposed" replied the witness, they
were the same as arose in Washington
when I was purchasing property for the
Weyerhausers and when 1 used Mr.. Bar
ber's name. If we used the Weyerhauser
name in any locality it always sent the
securities up and brought competition" .
More letters tending to show former
Governor Steunenberg's interest in timber
land speculation were introduced and read
to the jury.
