At one time, Mr. Charles was ma
jority stockholder In the Oregon
Gold Prospecting & Promoting Com
pany. Mr. Cake alleges that he sold
nearly all his interest in petty por
tions to meet current expenses.
Mr. Cake refers to the "imaginary,
wild, unbusinesslike and impossible
schemes and plans" of the plaintiff,
"all of which had been exploded and
abandoned long before the defendant
had ever known or heard of the plain
tiff." He also denied that the power
project in question is worth $6,000.

were willing that hereafter their ex
ports to neutral countries adjoining
Germany should not exceed the average
quantities exported to those countries
during the three years ended August 1.
1914, plus an agreed allowance for an
increase of population and other con
tingencies. Their proposals were rejected and a
counter proposal was made, which the
packers declined. The packers were
willing to recognize the principle of
continuous voyage and were willing
that Britain should have full blockade
rights under International law. It is
said here that the cotton and copper
Interests were ready to agree to simi
lar conditions, but all efforts to- reach
an agreement have failed.
For months past the patience and the
friendly disposition of the American
claimants have been worn threadbare.

Mr. Charles' latest suit was filed

Number 13
In the construction of our great
new building, all the marble
used, and there is much of it
throughout the structure, comes
irom Ala.ska, taken from the
famous quarries at Toke?n, and
finished at the factories of the
company operating the quarry
which are located in Tacorna.
The use of American marble
is of very recent date, the first
American quarry having been
opened in 1850. The demand for
the Tokeen, Alaska, marble is
becoming so insistent that the
capacity of the quarries is
strained to the utmost. Espe
cially is it being sought for use
on the Tacific Coast and in the
Middle West, and many carloads
have been shipped to St. Paul to
be used in the new buildinsr be
ing erected by James J. Hill for
the Great Northern.
The marble from Alaska is
noted for its beauty, durability
and adaptability, and for those
reasons was selected for our
new building where appearance
and service were the requisites.
