William Troensegaard, an inspector
from the postoffice department. Is In
the city today. Just what his mission
may be Is not definitely known and
there are various rumors In circula
tes section, says the Baker City Her
ald. Some believe that the inspector to
on his way to Bumpter to straighten
up affairs with Major Buck, postmaster
of that town, who has been misrep
resented. It Is claimed, before the de
partment at Washington,. Others, who
are knights of the Inside circle on
everything, say the visit of the offi
cial denotes trouble for mining peo
ple who have been using- the malls
to defraud In the way of selling stock
that Is worthless and misrepresented.
To the last named charge there may
be some truth, for It Is known that
parties In the east are very much dls
satisfied with some of their stock In
vestments here with wildcat com
panies who have done no 'developing,
yet sold large quantities of stock. Citi
zens of Baker have received Inquiries
from some of the unfortunate Invest
ors, It Is said, asking pointed ques
tions about men connected with some
of the schemes and also stating that
If they found things to be Irregular
they purposed taking the matter be
fore the postoffice department.
Another story which some think
may have caused the Inspector to sec
fit to pay a visit to Baker City Is U
the effect that second-class mall mat
ter has been deposited In the base
ment of the Baker postoffice. A
Herald representative called upon Mr.
Lnchnor, the postmaster, relative to
this current rumor, and he explained
It by saying that the Spokesman-Review
representative, while sollcltlnc
for his publication, recently approach
the Janitor of the postoffice building
to subscribe.' That Individual told thi
newspaper representative that he rea
the Uevlew and explained that It wat
thrown down the chute from the post
office and lodged In the basement
where the Janitor obtained access to It
The postmnstcr further explained tha
iccordlng to postoffice rules, when i
