ii was then attempted to buy the stock
of the Corn Products company by de-
preciating the stock value by the sales
of large quantities of stock on different
exchanges in immense amounts and
buying il again at a lower figure. The
$50, COG, 600 of common stock was cut
down by false sales to one-tenth Of its
supposed value, while $50. 000. 600 of pre-
ferred stock was deprecated TO one
quarter of its par value Some days
nearly the full amount of the entire
stock issues were sold, although the
sales were false and fraudulent"
Other steps in the alleged conspiracy
are declared to have been the purchase
of the Wagner factory in Lake county,
Illinois, and the ST. Louis factory. The
bill then declares ''the conspiratOrs are
now planning to cause all of the prop

company to be transferred to the Corn

RAILROAD PLAN
 BIG WAGE BOOST.

The railways of Chicago contem- plate making increases in the wages of their employees in the immediate future which, in the aggregate, Will make all increases made on the rail- roads of the country in the recent past seem small by comparison. Ad- vances are expected to be given be- tween now and January 1 which will make the combined incomes of the 45O,000 employees of these lines from $25,O0O,000 to $50, ,oJO,UO0 greater in 1907 than in 1906.
 The only thing that may prevent the proposed advances between now and the end of the year is inability of the railroads and their trainmen to reach an amicable agreement. The engineers, conductors, firemen, brakemen, and other trainmen have asked both for 10 per cent. advances and for an eight hour day.
 Railway officials indicate that they are willing to give the 10 per cent increase, but that they are not will ing to grant the demand for an eight hour day, and their present disposi- ton is to withhold the wage advance until the eight hour day demand is withdrawn. They believe the train men will yield after the ground for the denial of the eight hour day is explained to them in conference, and then the wage advances will speed fly follow.

WHEAT TESTS 85 POUNDS.
Turkey Red on Walla WaIla Ranch
Yields and Weighs Well.

The Walla Walla Bulletin says of
wheat tests In that county:
Sixty-five pounds to the bushel
wheat sounds like a fairy tale to even
the average farmer in this section,
but that is the actual test of the crop
of Turkey red, produced on the En-
mis- ranch near this city this year,
where the average yield was about
81 bushels 10 the acre.
The test OF this grain was made by
pies were sent to a number of ex-
porters on the coast. So far It not
only tests the highest Of any crop har-
vested, but the yield is also excep-
tionally good, although small tracts
in the foothills have produced record
breaking yields.
The growers of the celebrated
Bluestem wheat in this section are
inclined % doubt the showing made
for Turkey red this season, but when
the grain is put into the tester they
can see no opportunity for mistake.
1t has certainly been a surprise to
everyone and promises to become the
popular wheat of this section, as well
as all over the northwest.

Be Asked TO Interfere 10 Prevent

feet. T. !

Every industry on the coast Will
be paralyzed If the new railroad rates
go into effect"
Such was the statement made by
Victor H. Beckman. secretary of the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association, this morning, says the
Seattle News.
1T means a shut down for the en-
tire lumber industry of the coast and
that means the cutting off of s65,-
600, 900 pay roll. The people do not
appreciate the Importance of this ac-
ton by the railroads"
Several weeks ago, Mr.. Beckman
sent out letters TO $4,000 lumber deal
ers in the states west OF the Ohio.
The replies are just now coming in.
The questions sent, ask for the effect
of the raise in lumber rates on the
business of these dealers.
eve have received 80 replies to
date from Illinois," said Mr. Beck
man. From those replies alone,
there is an estimated loss to the deal
ers of s2.66S,OO0, and some of the
dealers report that they will have to
go out of business If the rates are put
into effect"
From Iowa firms alone, Al replies
have been received stating that where
they now use 1926 car loads of lum-
Der they will use but $40 after the
rates are established. Ohio will use
two car loads where they now use
90, and so ION in each of the states
heard from, the decrease in amount
averaging about 90 per cent.
At the meeting of the committee of
five appointed by the Lumbermen's
association to formulate plan of ac-
tion held yesterday afternoon, 1t was
decided to have the attorneys of the
association commence at once to
gather material for presentation to
the Interstate commerce commission.
1t was found that this action was
necessary before the matter could be
taken into the courts. The commits
sion, according to officials of the as
ISOLATION, has no power to act before
the rates go into effect. so that no
claim will be made to them before

SOME DEATH VALLEY NOTES.
Extpeme Heat and Excessive Labor
Characterize Mining.


Jack Gilbert, an old time Idaho
miner, has just returned to Nampa,
Idaho, from southern Nevada and
brings the usual report 10 the Leader
OF that place. He was in the Death
Valley country where the thermome-
ter creeps up as high as 120 degrees
in the shade at this time of the year.
Miners get an average of three dol
lars a day and board, but they have
to work stripped to the waists and
undergo great hardships.
Where Mr.. Gilbert was investigat-
ing was in the Panamint range
which is supposed to be copper
country. He said there are at least
zoo mills around through the hills
standing Idle. There are some good
prospects, but on the whole, Mr.. Gil.
bert gays the probability Of finding
something is fully as good in Idaho
as in Nevada and conditions are much
more pleasant. Besides that. he re-
ports that one dollar in Idaho will
do as much as 500 in Death Valley.
Owing TO the extreme difficulty OF

the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the m,i.
cous lining Of the Eustachlan tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you nave a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when It Is
entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever

When one remembers that these
classified areas are most convenient
ly situated with reference to trans
portation and settled districts, and
also remembers that every acre of
them is subject TO purchase from the
government under the coal land laws
and has been for several months:
also that the Northern Pacific rail-
road company alone is reputed to
have in its own possession land con-
tanning over $SO0,OO0,OOO worth of
coal, and also that many hundred
thousand acres of coal land scattered
throughout the entire region contain
ing coal have already passed into
private holding and in many in
stances contain large mining plants.
1t is easy to see that If there is to be
coal famine next winter, such
famine will result only from failure
to mine the coal which is easily ac-
cessible, either by grant to railroads,
purchase in the past by individuals
and companies, or entry at the pres
ent time under the laws.
The geological survey has sixteen
parties of trained experts advanta-
geously scattered over the entire re-
gion containing coal. These mining
areas classified and opened to entry.
1t is believed that by November
all land In the public land states
known to contain workable deposits
Of coal will be classified and subject
to entry.
The present coal land laws of the
United States allow the entry Of but
1e0 acres by any one individual and
only $40 by an association or COM
pany. This is regarded as a distinct
hindrance to the development Of coal
lands, since except in the richest de-
posts company is not willing to 70
to the expense of establishing a min
ing plant unless 1t has complete au-
thority over large area.
TIE administration realizing this
fully, and understanding that in many
cases mining is being carried on in
the most careless fashion. which
would ultimately waste a consider.
able part of the coal supply, advo.
