Fined $100 Each
for Illegal Fencing
On January 27 in tbe United States
Court In Tortland, the three Crook
county stockmen, T. J. Ferguson,
J. C. Houston and Elnra Fanght,
llead guilty to the charge of illegal
fencing of government lands and
were fined f 1Q0 each by Judge Can
non. In offering their pleas the defend
ant injected a little humor into the
proceedings by informing the com
missioner that they did not take the
newspapers and had never heard that
anyone had been fined in Oregon lor
surrounding the public lands with
wire fences. The Oregonian says:
Judge Cannon pointed out that
they had profited enough from the'
exclusive nse of the lands to pay
annual subscriptions to the leading
newspapers of Oregon for the rest of
their natural lives, aud Imposed a
fine of 1100 each.
Attorneys for the defendant, after
a consultation with their clients, de
cided not to go to the expense of a
trial of the cases.
The attorneys stated to the court
that the Prineville stockmen then on
trial had erected the obstructions
with knowledge of their unlawful
character, but that they had been
advised by a Prineville attorney
that they would not be arrested or
fined until after the exUeience of the
fences had been discovered and a
notice for their removal bad been
served by representatives of the In
terior Department or the Depart
ment of Justice.
It was asserted that when Special
Agent C. J. Carnahan appeared at
the ranches of the defendants, a
period of 30 days was allowed the men
In which to take down the wires
and poles. Messrs. Houston, Fer
guson and Faught were unable to
produce the written notices to that
effect.
It was pointed out by the District
Attorney for Oregon that no law ex
lute which requires his office to
notify any citizen that he is violat
ing the laws of the land. The ranch
men, who appeared as dofedante,
admitted that they had maintained
the fences without molestation since
1002.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
It has been brought to our attention that it is the
opinion of some that we are endorsing "wildcat" schemes
owing to the fact that we had placed on our map which we
have printed on our literature, the names of places not in
existence except in the imaginations of the promoters. We
did this to save answering inquiries as to the location of
said places. We may say, however, that we do not
recommend or endorse any scheme which by misleading or
exaggerated advertising seeks to obtain the money of
investors quickly by misrepresenting the facts, but recom
mend nothing to prospective buyers except such proposi
tions a3 we know to be absolutely "reliable. , We have not
sold, nor do we wish to sell any lots or property in anyplace
or townsite that cannot bear the closest investigation, and up
to the present no townsite has been projected which, on
present showing, we could thoroughly recommend to our
patrons. '
