AND swindlers are still operating
In Oregon. Their operations are
extensive but are not along the
same lines pursued by the Mc-
Klnley-Puter class of timber
; grabbers. They are bunko men of a new
type and unsophisticated easterners are
their most lucrative victims. -
When the land frauds In this atate
were given such wide publicity cupidity
, of people throughout the United States
was aroused by the tales of Immense
Vrtunes which were being made out of
ilregon timber land. There was a rueh
W this atate to secure claims and almost
everything available was seized..
In those days the timber locator was
In demand everywhere. Men who made
this line of work their business got
, rich by. charging the prospective claim
ant a, moderate fee for, showing htm
where he could secure . a desirable
claim. Other tlmbermen were attracted
to this line ot work and hod all the'
business . they could . handle. Good
things In life do not last always, and
It was not long before good timber
claims began to grow scarce. Boon
there were a dozen claimants for every
valuable bit of open land and competi
tion became keen. . It was then the
prices charged, by the locators began to,
rise, rrora me original m ciaimv
cruisers began getting-1180. then $160,
and finally as high ss 1260 and 1300 a
claim. As the locator expected to make
from $1,000 to $3,000 out of his claim
he willingly paid this price for a loca
tion. Comparatively recently locators found
It necessary to resort to a raft to make
their profession a paying one. When
the time did come there were plenty of
fertile minds and dormant consciences
I ytb devise some method of keeping the
Interest In Oregon timber-alive. Then
the new type of Oregon land swwaiere
-' sprang Into existence. It has flourished
and prospered ever since. There hsve
been comparatively -' few arrests for
"these latest crooked deals and In the
timber belt these bunko' men of ths .

Into th hands of a locator, if, as Is
J often the case, ths cruiser has not gone
east to induce' them to come to Oregon
- for claims. This Is aa easy task, by ths
way, for ths alluring tales of the aver-
age locator would Instill enthusiasm
into a cigar store Indian. Once In the
. hands of the locator, tf he be one of the
bunko class, they are elected to part
with a considerable quantity of ' their

' tells his victim that It Is open for
' entry. Probably It has been taken up
veara before but has been left un
touched bv Its owner, who is waiting
for a high bid from some lumber com
. After the claimant has been shown
i the good -timber the locator gives him
the nnmbers of the claim he Is to take
up. The claimant returns to civilisation
. mnA makes hia flllnff at the land office.
. As soon ss he ascertains that the num-
bers given mm by me locator are ior a
vacant claim he pays the shark his fee.
Probably he does not learn until fears
afterward, when he attempts to sell his
ana ''timhar." that he has been located
on the top of a bald mountain some
i threo or four miles away from the
claim which ha admired and believed he

,. This is a coarse gams which Is
worked only in the esse of unsuspect
ing victims who are -only too ready to
- accept the word Of the wily locator for
anything be wishes to tell them. There
are far more complicated methods on
tap which are brought Into play where
the proposed victim is better versed in
the way of the Oregon woods. . -
It is not always the man from the
; effete east who gets . caught on the
bunko game of the wily timber cruiser.
Less than a year ago ths Judge of one
of the counties in eastern Oregon, a
, mtn -h has lived in-the west for 20
years and has rubbed elbows with tlm
1 bermen all that time, gobbled the bait
thrown out by one of . these sharks and
was landed high and dry by the clever
angler. . ,. , ,-' --:.-... .-v-i-
. Last winter when the. snow Was deep
In the eastern Oregon hills three timber
., cruisers formed a - syndicate . and
. amassed a small fortune by locating
j'Buckers'' on barren ground. They told
'an alluring 'tale about having' found a
i small patch, of fine timber, 18 claims in
all, which had never been located. - The
story wtas to the effect that the patch
was completely surrounded by the hold
ings of a bla land-ftrabbin corporation'
which had secured immense , tracts ofd

end to that kind of business. It ap
peared ' plausible that timber, seeker
: had overlooked this : little group of
.'claims, believing them to belong to the
jNrhe little syndicate of sharks did not
waste ineir lime going east ior victims.
There' were plenty of men with money

after the clalma were taken up a com

ants cut and mill their own t.niber.
This made the opportunity all the more
alluring, and the deal was cllnclmd.
All . being "partners" It appeared all
right when the locators took the tim
ber seekers out to look at the timber in
sleighs, s of 1 course the corner posts
were covered with snow, and there was
no use to dig up mora than one or two
of them after the tirabwr had been ap- '
proved. It was tine timber, and the
aatuts westerners saw vislona bf small
ronunes roiling into their povkr in
the very near future. , Th muld nut
pay the locators their $2i0 fee fast
enough to satisfy themselves, after they
had scrambled back to the land office
and filed upon the numbers given them.
Alas, the early spring told a different
story,- the visions ot the wealth van '
lahed and the "vine" fWo-rtn men rnL
lsed that they had been '-bunked." - The
claims they had lnspscted were sur
rounded by claims belonging to tha big
corporation, and I fact they also be

Most of the victims said a few words
which would not appear well in print,
and decided that they would grin and

Cupidity Helps Sharks.

. ber sharks. They ore always careful to '
tell the members of their parties that
an 01 tns claims are not tne same, in
?uantlty and quality of timber to be
ound on them. This of course arouses
the desire of each member of the party
to secure one of the best claims in ths
?:roup. One fake locator haa been heard
o boast that ho made as much out of
tips on one trip as his location fees
netted him.
After he had dwelt at soms length
on the value of the claims In aggregate
t he frankly admitted that some few of "
, them would run as high as 1,000.000 feet
more than the rest. Nothing ocaurred
at the time, but as the party had to be
- on the road through the mountains for
several days it afforded each member
of the party an opportunity to have a
private conversation with the guide.
locator promised that this particular'
member of the party ahould have the
best claim in the lot, and as a result
his palm was well oiled with a generous
tip.
The locator confessed afterward that
the larger the tip he received the more
barren wdb the snot he picked for his
"sucker." Ths graspln selfishness of
his victims disgusted the shark.-
The daring of the timber sharks is
almost unbelievable. They will attempt
anything, and no man Is ao well versed
in woodcraft that he may feel sure that
one of these . crooked locators will not
attempt to bunko him. - . . -
One easterner hired a prominent and
honest timber cruiser to accompany
him while he went-to look at a claim a
locator had offered him, . Th locator
was known to the honest cruiser as a
notorious crook. The cruiser was on
the lookout for some kind of a game
and warned the locator that It would
be useless to attempt to bunko his em
ployer. The locator promised that he
would not, and took the easterner and
cruiser to sea the timber.
It was a fine claim, and the easterner
was delighted. -The cruise looked
doubtful as the locator started to run
the lines and called halt, declaring
that they must be going south Instead
of -north, ss the line should run. The
sky was overcast with clouds, and the
locator had the only compass.
"We are groins directly north, he as
serted. Then h showed the compact
which proved his assertion. He would
have succeeded in working his swindle
had not nature com to the rescue.
Suddenly a breese sprang up and tora
a rift In the clouds. The sun became
visible and the cruiser's suspicions were
.confirmed The dishonest locator had
' reversed the dial on his compass and,
was depending upon the cloudy weather
to assure the success of his graft.
Most of the government location
marks have been cut into atones and
are made nlsiner by two marked treea
called 'witness' or "bearing" trees.
Sometimes, howevor, and this is most
common in eastern Oregon, oak stakes
take the olace of the rock marks. W hen
this is the case It i much easier for
the sharks to deceive their victims. AH
that is necessary, then Is to move th
stake and mark two .new "witness" .
trees. ' Of course the marks do not show
the stains of time when first ait. but
this Is easilv overcome by the u of
chemicals. Even when tM corner
cut into a stone a little extra labor, win
mark a new one. A-small matterjik
some manual labor will not nead off tha
avaricious timber shark. t v f .

scientifically at work on the very heart
and crux of the problem's difficulty
the securing of an electrical incandes-.
cence sufficiently large to come into
contact with an appreciable quantity
of air at one time.
In Germany, as in America, the ex
perimenters had succeeded in igniting .
the aerial - nitrogen . by means , of the ,
electric arc; , but, although the current
waa carried to . the height of 60,000
volts, and although most ingenious ar
rangements weracmade of multiple poles,,
the burnina- surface of the multiple arc '
was always too small In proportion to
the amount of energy expended, to fix.
enough nitrogen for commercial profit.,.
It - was a deadlock between eager,' ig

The electric current was forced to
pass through a magnetic field. Its line
of flame spread out into a broad disk,
aa though it were a blazing sun.
It was a sheet of flame, instead of a
fiery line's yet it expended mo more
energy than that required by the mo
mentary flash of light produced by the
same current outside of a magnetic
field.
It added enormously to the are light
area which came into contact with tha
air; and it added enormously to the
amount of nitrogen that was Ignited.
' We are accustomed to imagine any-:
thing which has been "burned" as hav
ing been utterly destroyed. No fancy
could go further from, the fact. The
electrical "burning" of the atmospherio
nitrogen is. In reality, simply a compul-
sion of the union of atoms of nitrogen -with
atoms of oxygen, at the lightning
flash temperature of 3,000: degrets cen
tigrade. ,

She has instantly manufactured.
iThe flash of. the electrical current,
manipulated by man, affords the high ,
temperature at which alone the union of
the two gases is effected. . The atmos-
pheric nitrogen that has been burned ,
has not been destroyed; nor has It been
changed from the material form of a
gas. It has been merely made one with
the other gas, oxygen; ,; and the two, ;
now - absolutely wedded, constitute nitrous-oxide
gas." ... . r;"7--;v,..-" V",vV
Birkelund and Eyde, having achieved "I
the effective form of the electrlo spark,
used it in connection, -with -a' series of
ovens and other machinery which, while
It was necessarily massive, was not un
duly expensive. , ,.
The heat in the ovens produced by .the
electrlo arcs usually reached 2.500 centi
grade and frequently rose to 1,500 centi
grade, or 6,832 degrees Fahrenheit; and i
the very air that passed from them reg
istered from 600 to 760 degrees centi
grade., r . . . -.
This air,- forced Into the ovens, gave
one fifth of Its volume up to direct con
tact with the electrlo spark, while the
remainder, served jto cool tha resultant
nitrous-oxide gas and prevent certain
undesirable reactions. '
The amount of niter in the air varies
with conditions, but the ovens and ab
sorption systems used in the Blrkeland
Eyde process have been brought to such,
perfection that from 90 to M per cent
of it la retained. . The power used is
represented by; the comparatively mnoK
erate strength of 6,000 volts, and upon
such an arc, In -.every oven, is thrown
