Second-That they are using the
trade plate of the Great Northern
Railway company, except in the mat

the same style of letter and manner
of placing the same on the plate.
Third-They have purchased S44
acres of land near Trinidad on the

county auditor of Douglas county
reports 277 deeds filed for record

is released save and except streets
and alleys.
Fourth-That members of this
concern sought to advise with one
reputable attorney of this city to
learn just how far they could go with
scheme like this and not get into
legal difficulties.
Fifth-The advertising matter
gotten out and offered by them tc
the public is at great variance with
the truth.
Sixth-That in the judgment OF
this committee the land in question
is entirely worthless as a TOWNSHIP
proposition.
Seventh-That your committee
feel that they are stating the case
mildly when they call this scheme
validating of the rankest sort.
Eighth-That the committee be-

be adopted to the end that these
findings may be made public.

POLICE PROBING
TRINIDAD CO.
Spokane Officials Looking
for Fraud in G.. N. Land
& Townsite Co.

Some few weeks ago the Daily
World had a STORY regarding the
Trinidad promotion of the Great
Northern Land G. Townsite company
The Spokane Commercial Club and
the police officials of that place are
now engaged in probing this COM
pany. The Spokane probe is a re-
suit of police inquiry from the east
The company is now operating
very extensively through the east in
selling the Trinidad townsite.
The following story from the
Spokesman-Review tells of the in.
vestigations being made:
On inquiry from Sheriff John
Lehman at Marquette, Mich, the
matter has been placed in charge OF
Detective Alex Macdonald and yes.
terday the matter was brought w
before a committee of the chamber
of commerce. This committee con-
demned the townsite project as a
fake" and without value. 1t is un-
derstood on further authority that
the Great Northern railroad also is
investigating the property through
the railroad detectives and is about
to denounce the tOwnsite scheme,
which already has attracted small
eastern investors. :.
H. l.. Moody, J. w. Hays and D.
K Mcdonald, constituting the COM
mittee of the chamber of commerce
now investigating the townsite and
the personnel of the company, pass
ed resolutions at a meeting yester-
day citing that the company, known
as the Great Northern Land & Town
site company, has appropriated the
leading part of the old and reliable
real estate firm known as the Great
Northern Land company; that the
trade plate of the Great Northern
railroad is being used as a lure;
that the advertising circulated by
the company is at variance with the
truth and calling the townsite ex-

This locality In the war Of 1872
was the scene of the battle and mas
sacre Of the River Basin, where A.
900 American troops, mostly Ken
tuckians, were surprised by English
and Indians. The bodies were left
where they had fallen, and were
buried several months later by the
old settlers.
The interment of the bones was
forgotten, and those who buried
them passed away, so that none of the
present generation knew the location
of the old cemetary.

Not Yet Adopted.

The resolutions, which also point
committee the land is valueless as
town lots, have not been adopted by
the chamber of commerce as yet.
The committee, however, recon-
mends that the chamber adopt the
resolutions and give the action wide
publicity as a safeguard and protec-
ton to the fasteners looking west
ward for investment as well as the
investors at home.
H VI. CarQueville, a member Of the
Great Northern Land & Townsite Co.
said:
I'VE did not wish to infringe on
the name of any local company when
we selected our company name. Trim
idad is on the Great Northern and
for this reason we selected it. We
heard no complaint from the Great
Northern on account of the name and
and trade mark of our company. The
price of the lots we are selling is $40
and $50 and not $40, and the mort
gage on our property is only $3.50.
We will stand by all the points in
our ADVERTISING.
1t is asserted by the chamber OF
commerce committee that a reput-
able attorney in Spokane had refused
his services to the company when
they wished to learn how far they
could go in their advertising. This
object of the conference, said Mr..
Caruueville was to investigate legal
points in putting so large a pro]ect
on the market. The company mas
$40 acres plated and $50 acres more
under contract to plat, according to
local advices. The original townsite
of Trinidad has 40 acres plated.
J. w. Hays, in speaking of the
townsite and it's possibilities. said:
81 passed through there and saw
nothing that would make town, COW
ering $40 acres possible. The lots
are only 25 feet wide and that looks
suspicious. They are selling too many
acres in lots to look good. II they
plated 40 instead of 500 it wouldn't
be so bad, but there is nothing to
support $40 acres of townsite. TO
me it looks like a rank wild cat
scheme. The lots are not worth a
cent"
Detective Alex. Mcdonald, at the
direction of Chief Sullivan, is contln-
uing his investigation. Reports from
various eastern points are reaching
Spokane asking as to the stability of
the company and the safeness of the
project it is offering.
Owing to the fact that the Great
Northern Land company of Spokane
has started proceedings restraining
the other company from using the
similar name, Walter e. Leigh, man
ager, last night refused to be inter-
viewed.
A special committee, composed of
H. L. Moody, J. w. Hays and D. K.
Mcdonald, has submitted the follow
ing report to the board of trustees
Of the Spokane Chamber of Com

In the future, as in the past, the

SAVE THE PEOPLE FROM
THE CURBSTONE SHARKS

SS~ ~eA~0o~SA~
Several weeks ago in council,
Alderman Shartel made a motion
that the city attorney be requested
to draw up an ordinance regulat-
ing the sale of metal stocks in Du-
luth.
AS reason for the ordinance it
was pointed out that in the past
many Of the workers of Duluth
and many people Of small incomes
in general in this city, had been
induced to invest their small saw
ings in the purchase of what
proved utterly worthless copper
stocks-in fact in stocks whose
sellers were clearly aware of their
worthlessness at the time of sale.
It appears to the average think
ing man that such an ordinance
would not be out of place here.
In the past it has been the Gus
tom Of certain INSCRIPTIONS DEAL
ers in mining securities to place
on the market, when the tide of
trade was at low ebb, stocks that
carried the wildcat brand printed
plainly upon them.
These were sold to guileless pur-
chasers who were seduced to their
loss by the smooth talk and un-
substantial promises of the shark.
It is plainly the city's bounde1l
duty to offer protection to its citi-
zens from such as these. Such all
ordinance as Alderman Shartel has
suggested would possibly afford
that protection.
City Attorney Fesler can well
afford to devote his best legal tai
ents to the drawing up of such a
measure.
1t would undoubtedly prove a
shining milestone to mark the path
of progression in the present adj.
ministration.

THIS SOCIALISM STUNG
PIE COUNTER PATRIOTS

Occasional reports indicate that
Emil Seidel, Socialist mayor of
Milwaukee, is rapidly proving his
fitness for his new position.
His latest rebuke, in reply to
members Of his own party, who
sharply criticised him for appoint
ing a non-Socialist, DR.. Rucker,
health commissioner, is so refresh
ing and so full Of old-fashioned
sense and patriotism that it will
bear careful quotation.
Mr.. Selden said: "No sane man
would ask me, when my child is
sick, to get Socialist to cure him.

DO YOU BELIEVE WILLOWY =:
WILL IS WORKERS FRIEND?

The house Of representatives at
Washington, during the recently
ended congress, on motion. of a
gentleman from New Jersey,
amended the civil appropriation
bill so as to prevent any part
thereof being expended in the
prosecution Of labor unions under
the Sherman antitrust act. The
senate struck out the amendment
and sent the bill back to the house.
The house appointed conference
committee and instructed it to
stand pat on the amendment pro-
posed by the gentleman from New
Jersey. 1t was the only real bit
Of labor legislation of the entire
session. The senate conference
committee refused to concede to
the house, and Immediately Presi-
dent Taft got busy.
Did President Taft seek to in
duce the senate committee to &C.

Not by jugful! :.
That isn't William: Howard
Taft's way Of showing his friend

On the contrary he sent for
Republican house leaders and in
formed them that the house must
recede from it's position; that it
must knock out that. amendment

labor unions if deemed necessary

HERE S WHERE SHEARS ARE
BETTER THAN TYPEWRITER

A few of our contemporaries use
matter produced for the t'Labor

credit. The other week Califor-
MIA labor paper clipped whole

without even changing the local

The esteemed Clarion is not the
only one suffering from this sort
Of piracy. The Wageworker has
the pleasure Of seeing it's burning
editorials clipped far and wide
and never credited. AS matter
of plain fact, there are about
thirty labor papers that have edi-
tors seemingly bereft Of original

powers Of discrimination backed
up by shining shears. Hence they
manage to keep their columns en-
tertaining by swiping the brain
product of others. We are so used
to it that we no longer mind-in
