Counterfeiting? of Slgnatnrcs Dates Back to 1906, bat Nature of Vouch er Recently Learned. VANCOUVER, Wash.. May 7. (Spe cial.) Clever forgers have obtained at least $1000 by forging warrants on School District No. 80 at Orchards. The forgeries have recently been discov ered, althoug.i some of the warrants were made out in 1906, 1907 and 1908. Most of them were presented to the Vancouver National Bank and cashed. Later they were taken to the County Treasurer's office and resold by the Treasurer, as there were no funds in the treasury to cash them. All but about $350 of the forged warrants have been cashed by the County Treasurer. The names of the three Directors of the school district were cleverly falsi fied. These warrants were kept for a number of years before they were taken to the County Treasurer for reg istration when they began to draw in terest. In some cases the warrants were kept five or six years before they were presented for registration. The warrants were drawn for $100 each. County Attorney Blair and Sheriff Biesecker have been working on the case, but have found no clew yet that promises to lead to the discovery of the forger. In 1909 the law was changed to re quire warrants to be made out in dupli cate, so that the County Auditor may have a check on all warrants issued. The forgeries were on the old forms and no duplicates were-kept. ODDFELOLWS HEAR TALKS Crowd Fills Vancouver Hall as Of ficials of Lodge Speak. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 7. (Spe cial.)
