Only Small Part of Amount
Paid by Subscribers
Reached Treasury.

Seattle, June 21.-A. A. Nords-
kog, formerly one of the United
Wireless agents in the west, declared
that he left the company when he
discovered the real character of its
stock-selling campaign. Nordskog
severed his connection with the Uni
ted Wireless in September of last
year, moving to Seattle. According
to his statement at least 100000
worth of United Wireless stock has
been sold in the western states
through the office of George H.
Parker, of Seattle, fiscal agent for
the territory on this side of the Mis-
sissippi river, and that of that huge
sum more than 100000 in COM
missions have gone into Parker's
pockets. Altogether, sixty per cent
of the $6,000,000 went to Parker
and his subordinate agents in COM
missions, after which the New York
office took out it's slice, and what
was left passed into the treasury of
the corporation. Three hundred
thousand shares have been sold
through Parker's office at an aver
age of not less than $40 a share.
There are four Parkers in the
United Wireless proposition" said
Nordskog. '@They are George H. Par
ker, of Seattle, o. S. and Charles
Parker, of Denver, and Frank Par
ker, of Tacoma. The three first are
brothers and the Tacoma Parker is
their cousin. George H. Parker, as
fiscal agent for the territory west
of the Mississippi river, gets a COM
mission on every share of stock sold
in the states under his jurisdiction.
Here is the United Wireless sys-
tenn that has made Parker and 9TH
ers rich; suppose that one OF the
county agents down in Kansas sells
$1,000 of stock. The state agent
gets % per cent, out of which he
pays the county agent IL to Is per
cent, the former thus receiving Z to
10 per cent of the $1,000.
Parker brothers in Denver get
40 per cent out of the $1,000, out
of which they pay the state agent
90 per cent of their percentage, thus
leaving Is per cent of the $1,000 for
themselves.
"Then George H. Parker, of Seat
tie, comes into the game. He re-
ceives so per cent, of which he gives
40 per cent to Parker brothers, of
Denver, retaining 20 per cent for
himself. BY the time the money
from the sale has got back to the
New York office it has shrunk from
$1,000 to $400. The New York men
bite another chunk out of 1t, and
then there is left probably 5000 of
the original $1,000 to go into the
treasury of the corporation.
The Denver Parkers have ten
states in their agency. When they
make a state direct-through their
own office-they get 40 per cent
commission.

PARK[RS MADE MILLIONS N WIRELESS
SWEAT OF HIS BROW
Frames Check for Money Earned at
Honest Toll.

Delighted with the thought of hav-
ing money earned by toll, Sheriff j.
e. Ferguson will not cash the check
he got for laboring in the slide at
Wellington.
The sheriff was at Wellington for
at least a week last winter, during
the snow-bound time when the Great
Northern needed men, and took any
it could get. The time boss had him
credited with one dollar and eighty
five cents which he neglected to col
lect at the time.
As the railroad company showed a
marked indifference to paying the ac-
count, Mr.. Ferguson finally made a
formal dun and this week received a
check for the entire sum.
He has announced his intention Of
having the check mounted in a gild-
ed frame and hung up in his office,
with legend written underneath,
How doth the little busy bee?"

SQuillchuck Picnic.

Squillchuck, June 21.-In spite of
the threatening weather, about two
hundred people gathered at Mr..
Meier's packing shed to enjoy the
"Children's Day" exercises. The pro-
gram in the morning was followed by
a sumptuous picnic dinner, after
which there were addresses by Rev.
S. o. Pool and Rev. Bowman. There
were many visitors from Sunnyslope,
South Wenatchee and Pitcher Can
yon, and a general brotherly feeling
prevailed. 1t had been planned to
hold these exercises in Mr.. Head
mans grove, but on account of the
threatening weather we were COM
PEELED to seek shelter and wish to
express our thanks to Mr.. Meier for
the use of his roomy packing house.
There were five or Squillchuck's ex-
school teachers present at the Chill
dren's Day picnic. Miss Vernon and
Mrs Kyle, who are residents; Mr..
Mckee, whose term has just closed,
and Mrs. Botten and Miss Hull, who
took this opportunity of meeting old
acquaintance.

North Yakima, June 21.-Sixty
fruit growers, representing the whole
of Yakima county, have decided on
a wage scale for use in the orch

from children to adults. Packing
peaches will bring 2 cents a box,

Present indications are that Judge
Robertson will be the nominee for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket. The
Chieftain bases this opinion on reports
largely from the east and northern
portion Of the state where undoubted-
ly Robertson has the lead. Robertson
has the advantage of never having
been involved in any factional fights
in or out of the democratic party and
even his opponents admit his ability
and clean record In no point does
Judge Robertson fall below the very
best that can be said of his opponents
and in many respects he undoubtedly
has the advantage. It now appears
that he will be nominated, and if he
is the full strength of the party can
be depended on to rally to his support
and the state saved to the democracy.
The democrats can win with Judge
Robertson and this cannot be said of
all the candidates who are in the race.
