Proceedings Result Of Invsstiga.
tions Made by Sec. BalIInger.

Detroit, Mich, March 7.-Govern-
meni investigation into alleged Alas
kan coal land frauds involving approx
imately 4S,0o0 acres of land, valued at
more than S50,o0o000, resulted in the
issuance Monday night of an indict-
ment by the local grand jury. charg-
ing seven individuals with conspiracy
against the United States.
Th" defendants are: Wilbur W. Nc
Alpine, Albert II. Boehm. George W.
Ross. Frank L. Andrus, Arthur L.
Holmes and McCurdy c. Lebeau. ali oc
Detroit, and John NJ. Bushnell of Chi
caeo. The foregoing are officials Of
company known as the Michigan Alas
ka DEVELOPMENT Co.
The contention OF the government is
that the defendants conspired to in
duce between 200 and 800 individuals
to become stockholders in the COM
pany by making fraudulent ana iio-
titious locations OF certain Alaska caal
| lands" thereby violating the land en-
try laws of 1910. which made ii Illegal
for more than four persons to form a
company for locating Alaska coal lands
and taking out patents on more than
so acres. II is alleged that the several
! stockholders were led to believe that
| they were locating the lands for their
| exclusive use: but in truth and in fact,
| for the use and benefit of the seven de
| PENDANTS and the Michigan Develop
| nlent Co. The Michigan Alaska Devel-
/ opment Co. was organized under the
/ laws OF Arizona. W. W. McAlpine is the
! president. The coal lands involved are
situated mainly at Juneau. Alaska.
! Il is declared by the defendants that
! strictly individual entry Of tile lands
| has been made and that the Michigan.
! Alaska 60. was organized as a benefit
| association for the purpose OF aiding
the stockholders or claimants 10 bet
ter protect their title and develop thci!
| lands, They deny stock was to be sold
! and they insist that the corporation
was not formed for the exploitation oi
the coal lands in the general market.
| United States District Attorney
! Frank Watson of Detroit announced
| Monday night that he will prepare fol
! an early trial of the defendants. The
penalty for conviction on a charge OF
| conspiracy against the government ot
this nature, is two years Imprisonment
or a fine not more than $4,000
| Washington. March THE investi.
cation which led to the indictment re-
turned Monday night against Bushnell
! and the other men accused of attempt
| ing to dcfraud the government of
I Alaskan coal lands was begun -four
years ago while the present secretary
OF tho Interior Mr.. Gallinger, was COM
missioner of the general land office. II
was by Mr.. Ballinger's orders that field
service agents Of the land office started
the inquiry. During the last few
months, Secretary Ballinger said Mon
day night, more vigorous attention had
been paid to the investigation with the
result that the case had been ready
for some time to turn over. to the de-
partment of justice for prosecution.

LIBBY MAY GET A TWO
MILLION DOLLAR
SMELTER.

The smelter project for Libby,
which has been smouldering for
some time, has received fresh i'm
petus during the past week through
the activities and friendly interest
of E. H. Wilson, local manager OF
the Pacific Coast Smelling & Re-
flning company. The proposition
is put up to our people that two
million dollar smelter may be Sc
cured if guarantee can be given
to relieve the company from posi-
Die damages arising from smelter
fumes. 1t has been suggested that
a meeting be called to take up the
matter and put it in tangible form
and work out some plan to meet
the conditions of the smelter COM
pany.

LUMBER CENTER
TO Be HERE
Julius Neils Co. Makes Great
Jump in Capitalization. Is
Now Million and a Half
Dollar Lumb b er Concern.

The increase of the capital stock
of the Julius Neils Lumber COM
pany, which owns the milling plant
at Libby and thousands of acres of
acres of timber lands in Lincoln
and Flathead counties, from three
hundred thousand dollars to one
and half million dollars, certainly
augurs we'll for wonderful devel-
opment of the lumber industry of
northwestern Montana, and also
will have the effect of centering
this industry in this section at
Libby. Geo. w. Millett of this
city has been appointed agent of
the big corporation.
1t is understood that the COM
pany, besides establishing a chain
of lumber yards in Montana, the
company will build several large
mills in Lincoln and Flathead
counties.
No other lumber company in the
state will approximate the capital
ization of the Julius Neils people,
and the present increase to figure
so large must mean important de-
velopment and advancement locally.
Lincoln county, and Libby espe-
cially. will benefit many fold by
the expanded operations and soon
become one of the great numbering
regions of the northwest.

ing 81 feet apart, with pickess of
wood or wire interviewer in or fast
ened to said wires, between each
two said posts, in such a manner
that there must not be more than
five and onehalf feet space between
such pickets or posts or nearest
pickets the pickets, if of wire, to
be of not less than No. guage.

Another Deal in Libby Realty

Transfers of business property in
Libby continues to be consummat-

the community.
The latest deal was closed last
Friday, when the Libby Water &
Light company purchased the three

PAY TAXES
CLOSE UP
Delinquent List Dec. st 3 Per
Cent, and Will Be Less for
Year. About Same as 1910.
Both Years Great Records.

Lincoln county made notable
record last year in its tax collec-
tions, the delinquent list covering a
total of but So, 864,13 in a tax
charge standing against the COM
monwealth of $135,6o6.o6, but
this years collections promise to
be fully as good, if it does not sur
pass it. Up to December 1 last,
the day of delinquency, the total
collections were $143,35S.2e, out
of total on the book of $147,-
931.6o, leaving deficit of
$4,573.31.
While last years collections
showed, after all had been paid in,
little under 3 per cent and this
years a fiat three per cent, it must
be remembered that some of the
unpaid balance of this year will yet
come in, so that the season of 1911
will equal that of 1910.
Either is remarkably close col.
lection, and shows the people of
Lincoln county must have had
very prosperous times during the
past two years.
