ANOTHER FIELD Of
OPERATION
North Coast Land Co. Now
Operating as Great Nor
thern Land Company.

AS land values appreciate Central
Washington will, as matter of
course, become the field for many
land speculation schemes.
The people of this section are gen.
orally conversant with the methods
of the North Coast Land company
and the marketing of hundreds of
valueless lots at Columbia River by
the North Coast Land company APP
parently this organization has disin-
egrated-anyway there has been
little heard of the company during
the past few months. Apparently
the officers have found more lucra-
tive fields of operation, and recently
there has been incorporated the
Great Northern Land & Townsite
company and the list of officers
shows many of the former officers
of the North Coast Land company.

Trinidad has been secured as the
field of exploitation, and it is said
that there are fully 1000 acres OF
land at Trinidad which has been
plated into townsite lots. These
have been placed upon the market
and no doubt the gullible will be
found throughout the state who will
spend their money for worthless lots
at Trinidad. 1t is said that land
from one to three miles up the dry
coulee from Trinidad has been in
cluded in the townsite of the Great
Northern Land & Townsite company.
Some day the strong arm of the
law will cease upon these promoters
and an end will be put to their ex-
ploits. In the future there may be
a little town located in Trinidad, but
under the present program there is
nothing to justify the building Of the
town according to the proportions
of the Great Northern Land & Town
site company Twenty dollars, SIS
and $50 per lots which are not worth
10 cents, is simply another way of
stealing.

State Fish Commissioner John M.
Crawford, who is in the valley, made
a trip up the Wenatchee river yester-
day, looking for site for the pro-
posed fish hatchery and also for the
purpose of Investigating the protec-
ton given the fish at the big dam
near Peshastin. Mr.. Crawford found
that there was no fish ladder in the
dam AMI instructed the Wenatchee
Canal company and the Valley Power
company to see to it's installation at
once.
Mr.. Crawfor dis also going to En-
tiat, where it is said the fish ladder
is not properly installed. AS to the
location of the hatchery, nothing
positive has been determined upon
yet, but it is likely that a site will
be chosen either at Monitor or at
Peshastin.

Antiquity of Gold Leaf.
. Magazine of Commerce

From the Magazine of Commerce.
The origin of gold leaf. like the first
use of gold itself. is lost in the mist of
antiquity. 1t is found. for example, in
connection with the most ancient known
mummies, having been used for covering
teeth, tongue. skin, etc. Sometimes it is
also found on the collins. Gold leaf was
also used on the tombs and monuments
of ancient Egypt. The process of MAX
ing gold leaf has thus been known since
the eighth century B. c. In the eleventh
century it seems to have attained as high
a degree of perfection as today. The
gold leaf on some ancient Grecian pottery
indeed is as thin as that now used.

former base ball player at Georgetown

known person in the suburbs of this city
Saturday evening, and died in st. Joseph's
Hospital yesterday. Complete mystery
surrounds the shooting. The statement of
an aged negress that she saw a short,
heavily built negro walking rapidly from
the scene of the shooting soon after the
report of the pistol had been heard is the
only information that has been obtained,
SO far. for the police to work upon.
McIntire hailed a cab early Saturday
evening and gave instructions that he be
taken to Lincoln Park, a suburb. Alight
ing from the vehicle, he told the driver
to await his return. When he failed to
appear within an hour, the cabby drove
back to town. Later McTntire walked
into a store on Augusta road. about
mile from the city. and asked the pro-
prietor to lend him a pistol, saying that
he had been shot. The grocer replied
that he did not have one. McIntire went
out.

Austria Built Part of Road.

This road was built by the Austrian
government to the boundary of Monte
negro-about three fourths Of the Wy.
The Montenegrins completed it, at an
average cost of $4,000 a mile, for TWEEN
ty-eight miles.
1t was inaugurated by Archduke Ru-
dolph of Austria. who drove a coach
drawn by a magnificent team of horses
brought down here from the imperial
stables in Vienna for that purpose. Aus
tria formerly paid Montenegro a yearly
subsidy of $1,000 to keep up the road,
but this was reduced to 5000 about six
years ago.
For twenty-five out of the twenty EIGHT
miles this roadway, twenty-four feet
wide, was literally carved out of the
side of a rock, ard represents an enor-

The capital and indeed the entire prin-

only two roads over the most rugged and
rocky range of mountains YOU ever saw.
We were told everywhere on our way
by those who have been here that we
would see the grandest scenery in Eu-
rope; that Montenegro far surpasses
Switzerland or Norway or any other
part of this continent in that respect.
That proves to be the case from one
point of view.
