INVESTORS ouPED.
Fake Oil Company Salts Tinino Well
and Are Exposed.

and fNfC GNPSSod'
The statement of the manager o.
the Crescent Oil Co. at meeting OF
stockholders, held in Tacoma during
the week, that crude oil was brought
from California and poured into the
prospect well being sunk by the COM
pany at Tenino, as prelude to the
test made several months ago, is but
another forcible demonstration of the
fact that merchants and others should
exercise discretion and such eonser-
vatism as will safeguard against inn
position, in making outside invest
ments, says the New West Trade
Trade gave timely warning upon the
occasion of the oil excitement of the
dubious features connected with TINS
enterprise. There were unmistakeable
earmarks of clever manipulation, too
clever, in fact, in the prosecution Of the
campaign which wrested thousands or
dollars from the pocket Of those VINO
were not in position to suffer the loss
of their savings, and 1t IL apparent thar
the authorities were lax In permitting
the contamination of the fraud wnen
indications pointed instantly to the
fact that 1t was being perpetrated,
The fact that the present management
is encouraged in the belief In the eN-
istence of oil paying quantities, and ~
continuing to prosecute development
work, does not relieve the situation OF
its ugly features, nor does 1t JUSTIFY
the escape of those who perpetrated
the sailing operations from the conse-
quenses of their acts.
The instance serves, however, to
Impress the wisdom of greater care
in investigating the character Of prop
ositions and the individuals offering
allurlng promises Of large dividends,
before succumbing to the aliurements
presented. Merchants, in this con
nection, owe a duty not only to them
selves, but to others who repose con-
fidence in their judgment. Many
times these schemes carry the names
Of reputable business men am o g
their officers and directorate, because
these men have not taken the care TO
make through and palnstaking can
vass of the situation. In other In
stances, there are offers of stock OF
considerable face value at a nominal :
consideration, for the privilege OF
using these names in advertising mat
ter. and the solicitation Of stock sub
scriptions. While guitless of intent
to work injury, the individual who
permits such employment of his rep
utation for honesty and diseernmenf,
il culpable to a degree that verges
upon actual dishonesty
No merchant no business man. can
afford to become the instruments
through which their friends are de-
frauded. There is an obligation rest 7
ing upon each of them to not only
shape their own course along lines or
and integrity, but to see
that the concerns with which they as
sociate themselves, either as tenta-
tive promoters or as stockholders, are
free from the faint of fake and fraud (
