at Richmond. when It is said that
many lots were sold
MIR. Burbank said that he did not
know that there was a deed OF trust
against the property and that he
thought the proper party for him to
pay was the people from whom he
made the purchase. 1t Is also said
here that the Queen City Corporation
Is insolvent, and that the purchasers
Of lots who lost money by reason of
the foreclosure will be unable to Sc
cure any redress.
THE matter received much discus
sion on the streets here yesterday,
and many people expressed them
selves quite freely about the incident.
For concern to sell property for
which 1t did not have a title is looked
upon as practicing a fraud on inno-
cent purchasers. 1t was also said that
while the corporation was insolvent
that the men back of 1t were men OF
means. but that the individuals were
protected from loss by the laws gov
erning corporations.
TT is thought that there might be
some litigation over the matter when
the various purchasers learn the
facts"

QUEEN CITY LOT
OWNERS LOSE PROPERTY
Ennre Sub-dfvfsion Foreclosed With-
out Regard 20 Property Sold TO
Individual Purchaser.

The Newport News Daily Press of
yesterday carried tho following story
from Williamsburg Of very consider
able interest to purchasers of lots in
the sub-dfvision described:
The Queen City sub division was
sold yesterday at public auction at the
courthouse door. under a deed of trust
for the payment OF notes secured by
the property.
The Queen City property contains
ninety acres and 1t was bid off to H.
d. Barnett for 5000. There were
only q few bidders present at the sale,
and It was considered by business men
here that the land sold remarkab bly,
cheap, even Il to be used for farming
purposes
Mr. Barnett was the original own
er OF the land. In March he sold the
property to r. p. Jackson. of Abe
marie. N c., representative of the
Power City Development Company,
for $4,000. The North Carolina con-
Germ. when the boom was at high
tide. sold the property to tho Queen
people, for $4,000.
I'm these transactions Il appears
that business was not done on q cash
basis and ~ . result some Of the pur-
chasers Of lots In Queen City have
sustained lossos. The facts az could
be gathered yesterday show that the
first purchaser paid half the purchase
price In cash and gave deed Of trust
for the deferred payments. When the
property was sold to the Queen City
Corporation tho Same rule was OBJ
served.
The Queen City Corporation de-
hA
streets and sub-divided 1t into bust
ness lots rs by 100 feet, and put the
lots on the market. This company
had an arrangement with the benefi-
ciary OF the decd Of trust that persons
who bought lots on the basis OF one
third cash ana balance in three and
six months. might In case the COM
pany failed to pay Off the deed Of
trust, secure . clear title to the lots
bought by paying tho original owner
s7b. in addition TO the purchase price
of the lot
Under this condition twelve of the
lots were excluded from the deed of
trust sale and the purchasers were
given release deeds. Just how many
people bought lots in Queen City Is
not known here, and those who did
purchase and failed to secure release
deeds have lost the amount they paid
on their lots.
John NJ. Burbank, OF Hampton,
who bought two lots during the boom
and erected 4 combination rooming
house and store building on tho lots
did not learn that the property was
to be sold in bulk until Sunday. and
he came to Williamsburg yesterday
very much distressed over the matter
He said that he bought the two lots
for $500 and had paid all due ON them
but the last payment. which was
s12b. All told. he said ne had invest
ed $1,000 and he thought he was go
ing to lose It all. He soon learned
that by paying the remainder due and
s7b that he could get a clear title,
provided he did 20 before o'clock.
which was the hour for the SALE Mr..
Burbank paid over the money and
saved his buildings and lots.
1T is quite probable that there are
others who have not yet heard that
Queen City was sold under the ham,
mer. as an auction sale OF lots for
this property was held early in May

The class in dramatics will give
their first play on the regular liter
airy anniversary night in the latter
part of this month Miss Grace Lilly
of the English classes has charge of
this department this year and has
already received the parts for the
annual anniversary play. The pro-
duction this year will be a three-act
farce comedy entitled '"The Elope-

busy assigning the various parts, and
an active tryout will be held in a
few days. The. cast calls for four
boys and three girls.
Triangular Debate.
The schools of southern Oregon
will debate in an entirely different
manner this year. The three main
schools, Ashland, Grants Pass and
Medford, will each debate against
each other on the same night. The
teams will consist of four members,
two of whom will visit a town to de-
bate on the affirmative side and two
of whom will stay at home to debate
on the negative. This will make two
of Ashland's men go to Grants Pass
to debate on the same night that two
of Grants Pass's men go to Medford
and two of the Medford team visit
Ashland. Two of last years men are
back for this years team, but new
material is slow in showing up on
account CT lack of enthusiasm.

amusement and educational fields,
which are. in their greater immens-
ity. still in the future and far be-

To appreciate fully the difficulties
that surrounded and hampered TINS
search on every hand, one would
need a considerable knowledge or
the chemistry of photography. This
very fact that their labors and eX-
periments were highly technical pre-
cluded them from any extensive con
temporary notice or encouragement.
People generally were oblivious OF
their heroic struggles and patience.
They even more than their predeces-
sors in motion picture experiments,
worked in the dark, and always
against odds that threatened to over
whelm them.
This search for pliable film did
not turn directly toward celluloid.
AS a matter of fact, the experiments
with celluloid came as an after
thought and only when seemingly
everything else had failed and the
quest appeared hopeless. Gelatine
was tried, but its unstable texture
soon argued it's impracticability.
Then a paper, very painstakingly re-
fined and prepared until it has the
transparency of the oiled paper now
used in drafting rooms, was called
into court, and at first gave rise to
some hopes. 1t later developed, how
ever. that the fiber of the paper, no
matter to what degree it was re-
fined, irreparably marred the pho

would look it over carefully for
themselves and not take some mans

the labor was just reaching its last
stages some mishap would ruin the
whole thing and the hours of pains
taking work it represented. 1t was
terrifically tedious and discourag-

the ranks of investigators thinned

Walker and few others were left.

Cleaning Out
Bed Of Lake

The Roguelands Company has
closed down its camp at Fish lake
and established bachelor quarters for
a crew of eight men, who are en-
gagged in clearing and burning the
debris on the bottom of the lake.
This crew will work until snow is
too deep to allow further progress.
1t is thought that the bed of the lake
will be cleared before spring. With
the first heavy rain or snow, the
gates at the intake will be closed and
the storing of water for the next irri-
eating season will begin. The lake
is not expected to reach its high stor-
age level until the middle of June.

School Notes
(By Leith Abbott,)
Students Speak On Politics.


There is to be straw vote held
among the high school students Fri
day. 1t will be conducted with men,
bers of the civics classes acting as
the judges, officials, etc. In order
that the students might get little
insight on the various candidates, a
real old-time political rally was held
Wednesday morning. The first
speaker Of the morning was Leith
Abbott, who spoke in favor of So
cialism. Following this, Cleo Kirk
gave stirring address in favor of
Hughes. Earnest Abbott was next
with well-prepared and splendid
Grafton in favor of Wilson. The
next speaker was Priscilla Carnahan,
the only feminine speaker of the day,
who gave an enthusiastic address in
favor of prohibition. The speakers
drew lots for the men they were to
speak on and the order in which
they spoke. The meeting was a
great success and the speakers were
loudly applauded for their efforts.
The straw vote Friday morning
promises to be a lively event and
one from which much benefit will
be gained by the future citizens.
Senior Glass Organizes.
The senior class organized We'd
nesday evening. After a heated con-
test Leith Abbott was elected presi-
dent, with Fern Murphy gaining the
vice-presidency and Harlie Holmes
stepping into the position Of secre-
/ tary-treasurer. After the meeting a
committee of the class members Wis
tied Hotel Austin, where they Sc
lected several class pins to present
to the class, from travelling sales
man who annually visits the school
with class emblems, commencement
invitations, etc. Fred Payne is
chairman of this important commit
tee. The senior class pin selected
by this years class is very original
and one of the most distinctive en-
blems that any senior class of the
high school has ever chosen. The
ordering is being done early so that
the pins will probably be on hand
for the Christmas holidays.
