Transfer Was
Obtained by Fraud

Frederick Bausman Of Seattle, at
torney for Mrs. Lucy V. S. Ames in
the Merger receivership litigation,
who arrived in camp Friday, today
gave to the press statement bear
ing upon the proceedings. Mr. Baus-
mans statement follows:
Ross Clark and President Whit
temore of the Merger admitted IA
Los Angeles last Saturday to coun-
sci for the complainant and to the
two minority directors OF the Me-
ger that the control OF the Mer-
ger had been obtained in Seattle n
1911 by Mr.. Whittemore falsely
representing that the new investors
were Senator Clark and his brother,
Ross Clark and that Whittemote
used this deception on the Merger
shareholders because the Merger
shareholders were unwilling to allow
the control to pass to George Win &
ield, and he distinctly convinced
them that he was not acting for the
latter. They also admitted that inn
mediately on obtaining this control
they indorsed the shares over in blank
to Wingheld and have carried the
stock in their names for his use with
out revealing that fact to the old
shareholders, and have kept up d
Clark board of directors from that
day to the present, but exclusively
employing Winglield engineers and
superintendents."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The
postotfice department has informed
Senator Newlands that unless some
one can be found who will undertake
the duties of postmaster at Geyser,
Lincoln county, it will be necessary
to discontinue that postoffice.
The department recently sent an
inspector to Geyser to report upon
the suitability OF candidates for post
master. The inspector reported that
he was unable to find anyone who
would accept the position. Thereupon
he recommended that the postoffice
be discontinued. The first assistant
postmaster general notified Senator
Aewlands Of this fact, and stated un-
less the senator made objection to
that course within two weeks, or by
Feb. 10th, the office would be Hs-
continued. Senator Newlands has
taken steps to ascertain whether the
patrons OF the postoffice at Geyser
are sufficiently desirous of having the
office maintained to find some one
who will be satisfactory to assume
charge of it.

WAR ORDERS
Given Much UndeseTVed Credit fol
Steel Business

The trend of steel is of the great
est interest and Importance at this
time, when so many people imagine
that there would be no prosperity
in the industry were it not for war
orders says Skilling's Mining
Letter, an authority on the subject
1t is observed that iron and steel
exports in September were less
than in August, and that October
were less than September. The
diminished exports doubtless does
not represent diminished demand
from abroad, but it does represent
increased pressure from the home
demand, while mills are al
capacity.
There is every indication of un-
parallel activity for the steel indus.
try during the coming year. II
not another order were received IN
the meantime, the mills would be
active until around August 1, 1916.
There is a positive famine in steel.
Domestic consumers who can not
now buy sufficient steel on account
of congested conditions of the
mills will, it may reasonably be
expected, be purchasers when the
foreign demand diminishes, and
when prices may be on a somewhat
lower basis.
w. J. Olcott, president of the
Oliver Iron Mining company, ad-
vises caution on the part of every
body inclined to recognize present
prosperity as a purely normal con,
dition.
w. A. McGonagle, president of
the Duluth, Missabe & Northern
railroad is convinced that con-
tinuation of prosperous conditions
in the United States no longer
depends on the war in Europe,
and that careful students of the
times in the East express the con-
viction that the sooner the war is
ended the better it will be for
business in this country. No
collapse of the manufacturing in
dustry is looked for in the East
when hostilities cease. The re-
habitulation of Europe, Mr.. Nc
Gonagle says, must be supplied by
the United States.
The untitled tonnage statement
of the United States Steel corpora
tion for December is expected to
show up well, but as orders in
crease on the books the gain each
month is expected to diminish.
There is limit to the amount of
business the various steel COM
panies can book and increases

can not go on indefinitely.
Earnings of the various steel
companies in the first half of next
year will be a revelation to the
country. Deliveries on basis of
higher prices will be made in that
period, and shipments will reach a
new high record.
1t would not be at all surprising
if United States Steel reported
earnings close to $12O, 100000 in
the first half of next oear. With
no letup in business, and with
present prices, the corporation
could earn $25O,OOO,OOO for the
year 1916. This would mean a
surplus of at least $165, 900, 900
available for the common, or $32 so
a share.
1t would place the Steel Corpora
tion in an unusually strong fnan-
cial position, with sufficient cash to
weather more than one period of
depression without impairing divi-
dends.
Pig iron sales are being made for
delivery in last half of next year
and $40 quotation is the usual
thing. Leading middle western
steel mills advance minimum
quotation on plates, shapes and
bars to $1.SO, Pittsburgh. East
ern ship yards vainly try to place
20, 900 tons of steel for four vessels.
Spot Connellsville furnace coke
jumps to $3.50, ovens, and some
New England foundries are paying
s., ovens, for fuel.
At the rate contracts are now
being booked by the big electrical
manufacturing concerns they will
be practically swamped with busi-
ness in three or four months.
An outstanding feature of the
electrical business at present is the
demand for turbines, not only for
land plants but for ships. Only a
few years ago it was considered
that electrical engineers had reach
ed their limit when they produced
turbine of 5000 kilowatts.
Work will shortly begin on two
turbines of size not dreamed of
five years ago, namely $4,000
kilowatts.

The chap who is spelling for fight
is apt to get his face spoiled sooner

Life may be worth living unless
cruel fate tosses you up against a
fashionable but heartless boarding
