Inc first group of defendants takes
It's name from the fact that a number
or people in Western Canada are SUD-
posed to be interested in the claims
taken up by this party.
Stracey, one of the men indicted. is
a resident Of Vancouver and is
charged with being instrumental in
making some of the locations. Mum
Gay IS prominent attorney in Seat
tie. The charge against the indicted
men is that the entries were made in
the names of is dummies" Most of
the entrymen were residents of Wash
ington and their claims are said to
have been located with an agreement
that the claims should be assigned
or decided to third parties as soon as
parties willing to become interested
could be found by the locators There
is said to have been a further under
standing that the locators should re-
ceive large percentage of the sale
price.
Both groups of claims figured to a
considerable extent in connection
with the Ballinger- Pinchot inquiry
Charges of fraud as to the entries
were made two years ago, and it was
asserted that investigation had been
stayed by the land Office, supposedly
for some sinister purpose. 1t is also
known that another federal grand
jury sitting at Spokane with the dis
trict court of the Eastern district of
Washington is considering still other
charges Of fraudulent coal entries in
Alaska. and that results are expected
from these Investigations similar to

Kaiser's rival candidates for treas.

the reason for his strength. Some
of them have got it settled that he is
on an Eberhart "slate," and they
have been cussing the governor.
One delegation ran bump into the
governor on the proposition the
other day. Two friends of George
E. Hanscome, of Foley, were down
here to see about his chances.
About the first thing they did was
to get an audience with Governor
Eberhart, and then they told him
that they wanted him to keep his
hands off the treasurer fight. The
governor sort of sized them up and
looked as though he wondered why
the keeper let such "batty" ones get
away. That was all the satisfaction
they got. If they had taken little
trouble to inquire, they could have
found out that the governor is keep.

THE BEMiDll SURPRISE PARTY.

The Bemidii convention was
equally and mutually a surprise to
st. Louis county and to the rest OF
the thirty counties represented.
This surprise expanded into eratifi-
cations. and then to positive delight,
and ever since our delegation has
returned the feeling of satisfaction
and surprise has grown.
The News Tribune has contended
for years that until this city and
county quit sliding only on their
own cellar door, they would be mis-
understood and mis1udged. No peo-
pie and no section can sit off by
their lonesome, twiddle their thumbs
and play solitaire and expect the
rest of the world to Judge them as
sympathetic, public, spirited, unset
fish and fair.minded. H..
That St. Louis county has played
the role of the bound boy at the
husking bee, has been its own fault.
1t consented to be cast in that
character, or, indeed, adopted it.
Then it felt ill.used and imposed
upon. 1t never offered to join in
the general festivities, never got into
the game with the rest, and so
never found the coveted red ear that
entitled it to kiss and be kissed.
1t learned at Bemidji how easy it
is to be one of the crowd, to be wei
come, to get the glad hand and to
make and be friends. 1t learned that
there was no prejudice against it,
save what it had made almost newt
able, and that it had but to 60 out
and be of the people to be accepted
for what it really is, big brother in
one great family.
On the other hand, the rest of the
thirty counties found that this
county is, in fact, a mighty good
fellow. That it is as much interested
in agricultural development, in goo d
roads, in farm settlement, in farm
market and every subject vital to
this northern section, as is the Red
River valley or the boundary
counties.
It knows a hog and how to raise
them, but isn't one. 1t was there to
boost, not to grab; to cooperate, no,
to pose or dominate; to play the
game as one of the team, not to try
to be the manager and swipe the
gate receipts; to do its part or more,
if it could, and not try to be the
whole thing;" to work in the ranks,
without asking even a corporal's
commission.
It found a most cordial welcome,
and came home. tickled with itself
and charmed with its newmade
friends. In fact, it had found itself
and hopes it was in turn found by
the rest of the bunch. It propose.
now to keep right in the game il
this same role of booster, not asker
and just so long as it does, it will
grow in grace and in favor.-New:
