the farmers OF this region but there
were certain things In the case which
indicated that he expected TO fulhll his
promises to the farmers. After going
into the fun details OF the case Judge
Gibson imposed a fine of 800 and costs
amounting to Sl1l.4i. which was paid
LOCKER mad made restitution to most Of
the farmers who had given him money
and he made arrangements to pay the
remainder He was so affected by the
court proceedings that he wept at one
Stage and when sentence was pronounced
he expressed mis- heartfelt thanks to
Judge Gibson and States Attorney G. II.
Williams for their leniency.
The scheme which LOCKER presented to
the farmers was new one and his
outline sounded very attractive. He
claimed to be the representative OF a
New York real estate company which was

Ing 10 the. United States Senate commit
tee on territories to give the government
a royalty Of 80 cents a ton on coal mined
for the lease Of 5000 acres Of some ~ the
choicest coal lands in Alaska. In the

a royalty would net the government, Mr.
Ballaine claims, amounts as high as

contemplates a radical departure from

comes avowedly to do battle with another

prepared, but not yet introduced in Con-
gress, designed to permit the sale or lease
Of such lands at a rate of 80 an acre.
Mr.. Ballaine offers TO give a bond Of

agreement, and his charges that other
interests have now at work in Washing

virtually donate to them at $40 an acre
