WEEDOUT GREEDY
LAND LOCATORS
NUMBER HOLDERS ON COEUR
D'ALENE INDIAN RESERVA-
TION LANDS ORGANIZE.
Will Probe Claims of Land RESPONSE
bility of Locators.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 10
Greed to make prof out Of the
land filing on the Occur d'Alene In
dian reservation lsnds has, reached
a point where names of government
officers have been linked with firms
doing locating" business, and as
a result a number of the holders of
lucky numbers have started cam
paign of education to ascertain the
names of responsible locators.
At a meeting CT claimants to
Occur d'Alene reservation lands, at
tended by about $50 from Spokane
and other towns within a radius Of
100 miles, held last night at the
chamber of commerce, it developed
that the name of A. G.. Elston, SUI
perintendent of the land drawing
under Judge James W. Witten. has
been linked with the Consolidated
Land Locating company of Spokane
without authority.
At the meeting last night letter
from Elston was read in which the
privilege of using his name in any
similar connection by any company
refuted. Judge Elston stated that
he had never authorized any company
to use his name as a commercial
asset.
The prime object of the meeting
last night is to start an official in
vestigation of all firms purporting to
do a locating business for settlers.
permanent organization was form
ed with William ]. Mast, Jr.. presi-
dent; T. Hunt, secretary, and t. H.
Hodgson, treasurer.
Will Investigate LocatOrs.
The meeting was called at the
instance of Fred E. Mead and a mum
Der of other claimants interested in
the land filing at Occur dAlene. 1t
is generally believed that a num-
Der of the locating firms pretending
to have a thorough knowledge of
the reservation are incompetent to
and in the endeavor to ascertain the
names of these firms, the Occur
d'Alene Settlers association was
formed.
The first action taken was to ap-
point a committee of five to confer
with the firms doing locating bust,
ness both in Spokane and Occur
d'Alene and request them to submit
their data and security as bona fide
locating firms.
All firms which do not produce
evidence enough to satisfy the com
mfttee that they can be of actua
service to the settlers will be LISTED
and in all probability barred from
competing for the business of locat
ing the claimants.
In the free discussion last night i
was discovered that a number of thu
claimants had been ''stung" by 10
Gators who had never gone over tn,
ground purported to be known Il
them. 1t also was discovered tina
many of the firms had never put
cruiser into the field and that set
tiers relying on these locators woul,
probably be left to select their lam
by chance.
