SAYS BANKER /
ATTACKEOH|N
c. e. MITCHELL ALLEGES PLOT
TO RUIN HIM BECAUSE OF
LOSS INCURRED IN MARBLE
QUARRY DEAL.

George s. Brooke of the Fidelit,
National bank, is charged by G. e
Mitchell, in his affidavit filed with
the government against Postoffic6
Inspectors OHM r. Fullinwider and
A. F. Watson. with being closely
associated with Fullinwider in the
preparation of the alleged false and
malicious charges filed against
Mitchell with the postoffice de-
partment.
In this connection Mitchell
charges that there was con-
spiracy to wreck his business and
drive him to the wall, and that
Brooke worked hand in hand with
Fullinwider to accomplish this re-
suit Mitchell charges that Fullin-
wider went to the agents and en-
ployes of the c. E. Mitchell Co.
and caused them to quit by stating
that Mitchell would be arrested and
imprisoned and put out of business
by prohibiting his use of the mails.
The hostility of the Fidelity Ma
tional bank, charged by Mitchell, is
believed to be due to the fact that
Brooke backed Mitchell heavily In
the United States Marble Co. in
Stevens county and lost a large
sum of money, and that the bank
has since been on the trail OF
Mitchell Mitchell claims that the
loss was due to placing an incom
petent man in charge of blasting
at the quarry, over Mitchell's pro
test.
There are IL specifications in the
charges of false and forged testi
mony filed by Mitchell against
Postoffice Inspectors Fullinwidei
and Watson. The charges of the
postoffice inspectors related to the
operations of the Mitchell company
in the United States Marble Co.
the Columbia River Marble Co., the
German-American Mining Co. anf
The Occur d'Alene Eagle mine.
The charges were flied last No
vember and some weeks later
Mitchell was summoned to Wash
ington, D. c., to answer the charges
and show cause why he should not
be debarred from the use of the
mails. With a lawyer he made a
trip to Washington, and on seeing
the character of the evidence
against him be branded it as trump
ed up, false and malicious. The
hearing lasted but few hours an6
Mitchell says that he satisfied the
government that he had not vic
lated the postal laws, whereupor
the case was dropped.

Piano Club Sales Attract the At
tention of Shrewd Buyers
Everywhere.

Saturday evening is busy time
for most people, but you can we'll
afford to take few minutes to
drop In and look at our pianos and
inquire about the Club Plan, it's
wonderful saving power and the
easy terms it offers. $S5 to $3.50 is
worth looking after, and if you ex-
pect to buy within the next few
months you can't very well afford
to wait
The old saying that There's
nothing in name" will not hold
good when it comes to pianos. For
instance, the Chickering name
stands for all that is good in
pianos, it stands for over sc years
of successful piano building, 1T
stands for superlative merits, it
stands for culture and refinement
and it stands for lifetime of salts
factory service.
Then there's the Kimball name,
associated with the largest and
finest factory of it's kind in the
world; build and sell more high
grade pianos each year than any
other concern.
Also Decker. Steck, Hobart M.
Gable, Lester, Marshall & Wendell
and in fact our entire line COM
prising some 80 different makes
are all names that stand for high
ideals in pianOdom.
OF course the name does not
make the piano, but the excellence
of the different instruments has
made the name famous and mark
ed them as guides to piano pur-
chasers.
One of the great factors in the
success of the Eilers concern is
the care with which we have Sc
lected our line. We know they are
good and we stand back of them
with our money-back guarantee.
Our Club Sale offers an oppor
unity to buy one Of these magni-
ficent instruments at ridiculously
low price and on terms to suit
your convenience-as low as six
per cent down and the balance at
so or more per week.
Drop in and inspect them to-
night. We shall be pleased to en-
terrain you if you do not buy.
We have the latest in sheet
music, foIios, studies, and a COM
plete line of small musical goods
prices the lowest in the west.

FORMER BISMARCkER ~. ..7
y. !. WRITES FROM OREGON
pveALD CAMPBELL is WELL
PLEASED WITH HIS WEST
ERN HOME.
Would Like to See Old Friends From
Home state-Lands ard Selling for
BIG Price There.

In a private letter to friend In
Bismarck Dugald Campbell, who with
his family is living in Eugene, Ore,
writes that he is building a home IN
that promising city. He likes the ell
mate as it does not have extremes Of
heat or Geld. For person who wish
es to make good living without
working hard or without having a
large lot of land, he thinks 1t is the
place to live. If he wanted to follow
the plow for living he would prefer
to live nearer the Red river valley,
and If he desired to be a cattle raiser
he would prefer Montana. Many peo-
pie are buying the raw lands at So
to $3.50 an acre and waiting to realize
from their sale as fruit lands, after
planting them to fruit trees.
He has very kindly feelings tow
ards Bismarck and if, he could see
some of his friends occasionally he
would not desire to return to prairie
life. He also expressed great inter-
est in the 500 road. No other road
will ever occupy the same phase in
his heart that the 500 held for so
long.
The children are going to school
in Eugene and he expects to remain
there until teheir education is COM
pleted.

$368,9O8,325, instead Of 33S,457,345,

cifc Junction to old Fort Buford,
Montana, q large part Of
which is parallel to the Missouri riv-
er, it received for shipment during
the first six months of 1908 ST.
100000 pounds of freight, and sent
to stations along that line 100000
pounds of freight, collecting from
the shippers who forwarded or those
who received the freight in all
$388,555 in charges. The expense
of carrying an article from the place
where it is to the place where it is
wanted must always be added to it's
cost, whether in it's raw or finished
state, and the consumers and pro-
ducers along this line paid a sum
equal to $28 per capita for every
man, woman and child living within
thirty miles of Mr.. Hills railroad
in six months.
South Dakota farmers paid last
year $4,641,O00 freight charges on
their surplus grain-on the wheat,
oats, corn and barley sent to the pri-
mary markets of Duluth, Minneapo-
liss, Sioux City and Omaha. AS the
tendency of western grain is to move
to the Gulf instead of to the Atlantic
seaboard, the South Dakota farmer is
led to contemplate the saving which
would be possible to the individual
and to the state could this grain
move to New Orleans by boat. Water
rates are so low as compared to rail-
road rates in South Dakota that it is
not unreasonable to suppose that the
state could save an amount each year
in transportation charges on the sur

A strong feature and one of par
ticular interest to all westerners con-
cerned In the industrial development
of their territory, is contained In the
May number of Van Norden-The
World Mirror, and appears under the
head sof "Wanted: $1OO,0OO,O0O.'
One hundred million dollars isn't
much when you say it quickly. AS a
matter 5of fact, it is no more than Is
required for the gigantic scheme to
develop thousands of miles of terri
tory in the Missouri valley, now with
out adequate transportation facilities.
The article is from the facile pen of
Mr.. Will A. Campbell of the Omaha
Bee, Omaha.
One hundred million dollars-as
much as France paid for the Canal
du Midi, 255 miles in length; more
than twice the cost of the Kiel ship
canal built by Germany: equal to the
sum invested by Great Britain in the
waterway between Manchester and
Liverpool, or paid by the Muscovites
to dig the canal connection between
the Dniester and Vistula rivers; ten
million dollars more than the cost of
the epoch-making Suez, and equal to
the amount spent by Canada on all
the artificial waterways of that coun-
try since their construction began.
This is the amount wanted to i'm
prove the Missouri river, tawny,
restless, brawling flood which rear
ranges geography, devours annually
5000 acres of good farming land and
countless sandbars, making life on
it's bosom very uncertain, as it winds
like a great spiral stairway from a
point near the Red Rock lake, forty
miles west of Yellowstone Park, o.
SAT miles to where it meets the big
Mississippi and gives that majestic
stream q new and less pleasing per-
sonality.
