WERE THE
COPS ASLEEP?

Did anyone hear good healthy
sroreS of sound slumber eman-
ating from the police station
last night?
If the cops were not asleep,
some sly pilferer, with sweet
tooth or two in his head, must
have slipped away with one of
the sieuths gum shoes. He
broke into M. o. HoIston's pop
corn and peanut wagon, right
across the corner from the sta
ton and got away with sweet
goods enough to last him
week, without even attracting
the attention of the Line coats
across the way.
The midnight thief took only
about dollars worth of c.n-
tections, but dollar is dollar
to a man who has to make it
from four by eight wagon.

is entitled to draw the salary Sf

Acting Mayor Lambert, aqd he is
willing that Mayor Pratt shall con

FORESTER HAS HAD HIS EYE
ON iT--TODAY'S TES-
flMONY.

Had Clifford Pinchot, the eagle.
eyed gentleman at the head of the
forestry service of the nation, been
present at the session of the Cum
ningham coal inquiry this morning,
he would have felt that a measure
of justification had been entered in
his behalf,
When the Cunningham claims
came up for patenting little over
a year ago at Washington, Pinchot
said that some timber was involved
ard sent his right hand legal aid,
A. c. Shaw, to lock into the papers
I'm he Cunningham claims.
At first he was refused sight OF
the papers, 1t is said, but later per-
mitted to look them over, with the
assurance that there was no timber
OF value involved. Ever since then
Pinchot has had his legal agent in
the northwest keep close cases on
the Cunningham proposition with a
view of getting at the facts. c. R.
Pierce of Portland is now attending
the Cunningham hearing as the
legal representative of Pinchot
Shaw was in Spokane until few
days ago.
The development along this line
this morning was the testimony of

ferences with Clarence Cunning

that four of the claims possessed
valuable timber. that Cunningham

had planned to issue scrip for lot
more, and that the timber resources
of the syndicate was one of it's val
liable assets. This information did
not appear in the official records at
Washington. d. c., as first exam
ined by Pinchot.
The farther the Cunningham
hearing progresses the more it be-
gins to appear that in the early
stages of the efforts to patent the
claims. the entrymen felt that the
general land office was with them.
! This caused them to take steps
they otherwise would not have
taken, and led them 10 believe that
all was we'll so long as they had
friends at court.
The effort to patent the Cunning
han claims first came up while r.
A. Ballinger was at the head of the
general land office. After Mr.. Bal
linger retired from the land office
some of the legal work of Clarence
Cunningham was taken care of in
Ballingers office in Seattle, as
shown by the Ballinger stationery.

morning, said that he was a little

A man on the south hill tele-
phoned to the Peerless employment
