selling out to lumbermen. Steno

"timber and stone claims" with
their expenses paid by local lumber
agents bought in their claims at
$2.50 an acre, with money advanced
by tho lumbermen, who perhaps
added another $2.50 for profit to
themselves. Wo invited perjury, en
couraged theft; hecauso wo knew
that lumbering Is a matter of "big
corporations" and big tracts of tim
ber. Thus, we sold stumpago at
$2.50 per acre that was worth over
$15, and much of it over $100 per
acre. Under tho Stone and Timber
Act wo lost $70,000 every day, and
what we lost as a nation was gained
by a few individuals. Wo sold from
