With reference to- ' the . reported land frauds In connection with timber entries, Mr." Presby said it had developed no new features, the only 'cases brought to his attention as yet being those of the Leav enworths of Beattle. in this caee. L. W. Leavenworth -and three members of his family allege to have been outrage ously swindled by a Seattle firm of tim ber locators,,' known as Kinney ft Co. He Is a railroad man, an offleer of an Alaska railroad company, He himself took a claim and was satisfied, and then sent his two daughters and wife to se cure timber claims. In due time they re turned from Qoldendale, reporting that they located fine claims, with large amounts of timber on the, same. Later a surveyor who had been In the employ of the Kinney concern dropped the hint that the Leaven worths had bep. deceived and had not been given the 1'pht land, end Mr. Leavenworth going there to Investi gate found this true, and that Instead of having some fine timber land, his family were : In fact on the baldest and most worthless land In the entire region, be ing In' part, a least, on the barren peak known as Old Orayback, about U miles from Qoldendale. Mr. Leavenworth ap plied to Mr. Preiby ' for 'relief, who ad vised hint to first get, restitution "of the money he had paid, which, was several hundred dollars,, and. this the . victim Is now endeavoring . to, do, - Commissioner Presby . said . that as to 'prosecution, it would probably be necesary in the state courts, for obtaining money under . false pretenses. There is another phase of the cases, however, which is the fact that tha victims hove not only been swindled, but have ben led to commit perjury, in the affidavits made in the filings, that the examined the land personally, etc. Aa to the extent of like fraude, ommls-sloner-Presby-said fhat undoubtedly very many recent locatWhs In.that district are next to worthless, and ; eertalnl- ,yery many In the town that the Leavenworth are In, which is Town 5, Range 14.

FUN AS A CHINAMAN Howa Railroad Man Gulled a Crowd cnHe Portland Streets. Terhapa Charles D. White, the versatile N. P. brakeman, did not have a stomach full of funon Third and other streets yes terday morning, with a clever littls Im personation of the heathen Chinee.- Char ley came In full of fire and vinegar from a short lay-off, and ai tie is known to be very clever in the pig-tail dialect, he pro ceeded to get up a rig which would, as It "did, fool' the beat oftiiem. Having made up as a Chinaman, heprocured a dilapidated wheelbarTOof the hand made Chinese pattern, with ... rickety, "Sticky" wheel, and having procured an over-topping load of refuse oil cans, old carpet, tarpaulins, oilcloths, broken bot tles, and slch truck, appeared on Third street with his load, down near the bend, and just as. a good crowd had gathered and 'commenced to guy him, he man aged to have hia . load tipped off. The spectators laughed in derision and In creased their guying! ' Without so much as noticing "one of them; the "Chinaman" proceeded to gather up his load, and again to start, with the same resilt, the crowd increasing its funny business at his ex pense. Over and over again this was done, not a soul, apparently, suspecting, and the Impersonator, with Oriental pa tience, each time reloading his wheel-barrow, trying to go on, never once cracking a smile, nor all the time detgnlng to notice his amused spectators. . Nor did they .discover why the wheelbarrow did not run, orr they would have discovered Charley's-..guise, which Was that the hub was v wound -around with dirty-looking rags,.;aa3lf tcarelesly, caught In the run ning gear, i The heathen was a full half hour In going a few feet, and the crowd was in fact nearly half paralysed with the fun they got out' of it.' But what of the railroad man? Perhaps It was not funny to him, to think how he was fool ing the entire outfit. When flnilly he, too, had his fill, he walked off into ; street, dumped his barrow, pulled oft-a wig, and pig-tail, and; with a good-bye to a few of the gaping spectators, was away? to Jell his intimates that he had had the biggest time of his life.
