INGRAM INDICTED
Result of the Fight Against the
Supply Houses
LUMBERMEN ARE GAME
Charge Is the Alleged Fraudulent Use
of the United States Mails


time between the supply houses and
the retail dealers, more particularly
the lumbermen, eliminated Tuesday
of this week in the indictment of
nineteen prominent northwestern
lumbermen, among them being
George G. Ingram of Sank Centre,
head of the Ingram Lumber Company
Of this city and a director of the
Northwestern Lumbermen's Associa.
ton. These indictments were brought
in the U. S. federal court and are the
result Of the efforts OF the supply
houses which have been retaliating
for what the Lumbermen's Associa.
ton has been trying to do to them.
The supply house has for some
years been regarded as a menace to
the retail merchant, particularly in
the country districts. Numerous de-
vices have been employed in the at
tempt to break the power OF the
supply house but few of them have
been effective to any particular ex-
tent. Finally the Lumbermen's AS
ISOLATION, finding that the supply
houses were cataloguing the articles
| they-the lumbermen-were selling,
laid their heads together to plan some
means OF fighting back. The plan
was evolved of having retail dealers
write numerous letters to the supply
houses ordering catalogues, asking a
great many questions, thereby en-
failing large outlay by the supply
| hOnses to answer the demands made
upon them. What was known as the
"Black Book" a little publication
containing instructions-so 'tis said
to retail dealers, was prepared and
distributed among those who wanted
to fight the supply houses.
The supply houses finally found
themselves facing a big deficit. They
got busy with the result that they in
duced the U. S. attorneys to lay the
whole matter before the grand jury.
The result was evident Tuesday when
the nineteen indictments were return
ed. These charged the fraudulent use
of the mails.
The matter has created considerable
interest and some excitement. Diff.
fefent opinions are expressed as to
the outcome. The men indicted say
they are not afraid. The penalty is
heavy fine or two years imprison-
ment. Prominent retail dealers as
sert that the mailing of the so-called
f"Black Book" is not fraudulent use
of the mails, as those who ordered
catalogues of the supply houses
through this source and for the rea-
son urged by the Lumberman's
Association, simply did what the
I supply houses asked the public to do.
The outcome is awaited with consider.
able interest, especially by the many
friends and acquaintance of Mr..
Ingram in Sank Centre and vicinity.

MARKET

Collins and Brecount stepped into the
circle and with their arms about each
other, asked all to join in singing
"BIest Be the Tie That Binds"
Never was this sacred hymn sung in a
more impressive manner. The
