The ov ernor'8 committee Jh coin priced of Oswald Wt'Ht and G corse JUark and J recently resiHtered ullcKutJnnH aK-'ilnHt the Hartman Syndicate.. The com-! m it tee exoncraten the rmiipany of thel charges. A . damago -null for 200 000 is now pending in this county against uie Rovernors commmee as a nwuu of filing of its report The Btockholders' committee was composed of stockholders from Port land, Salem and Ashland and other Oregon cities. A resolution to nmend the charter 1o make the par Htnck sell at l a'tees of the Hartman Syndicate of the share instead fo $10, as now, was tm.jfic c,mnt in full oavment for all ndopted. This action was due to the stoppage of the sale of mock, alleged to have resulted from the printing of the report. The syndicate expects to raise $700,000 In the immediate fu turo from this course to continue lis development work. The report follows: lour committee of stockholders nppolnted by you to investigate ih affairs of the company nnd the facts concerning same with relation to tho charges made by Oswald West and ' Ooorgo TUack In their report to Gov ernor Walter M. Pierce, and publish ea ny them in various newspapers throughout tho state, find the follow ing bio the true facts: First, tho company was Incorporat ed under tho laws of the atute ut Oregon with a capital stock of three million dollars composed of 300. MOO shares of the par value of ten dollars per share, and not thirty thousand shares of one hundred dollars per sharo as stated In the Wcst-Itlack re port. This fact will appear from tho articles of incorporation on file in the corporation commissioner's office of tlio fituto of Oregon and could have been verified by tho West-ltlack com mittee Second, tho committee from care ful inspection of tho books of tho company find that Mr. 13. W. Hart-; man Is in no way connected with the liartinuii Syndicate Inc., and has never had anything to do wltn the organization, development or man agement of the company, and does not own one share of stock in this company. The committee, further finds from the hooks and records of tho company that tho company was organized by II. W. Hartman; we fur ther find from information gathered from officers and persons familiar with tho facts that Mr. 11. W. Hurt man has never been engaged In sim ilar undertakings and that tho state ment In tho West-lllack report to the effect that this company was pro moted by K. W. Ilartman and II. V. iinrtmnn is false, us will appear from the records In the office of the com pany. Third, your commltteo finds from an inspection of tho records that tho company was originally organized by - H. W, Ilartman as a Common Law Trust, a form of business organiza tion rocognlzed In many of the states of the union and that such company was organized upon advice of tho at torney for the company, Mr. James "Westervclt of Ioh Angeles, California, that same would comply with the laws of the state of Oregon, and that us Huch organization it made applica tion to the corporation commissioner of tho state of Oregon for a permit to veil Its securities; such application being on file with the corporation commissioner. We therefore find that tho stutement in tho West-Iilack re port that tho company was originally organized as a Common Law Trust In order to circumvent the blue sky law Is falso, and that as a matter of fact the company did everything In Its poWer to secure a permit for the sale of Its trust certificates but were de nied ft permit by the coi poi nt Ion oomniisHloner. We further find that tho trustees and officers of the orig inal company acting In good faith with the corporation commissioner and the attorney general Incorporated u company known us tho Ilartman Syndicate Incorporated, and under agreement with the corporation com missioner took over all of the pro perty of the Hurlmau Syndicate of th Pacific coast, a trust estate, and wore granted a permit by the corpor ation commissioner's office of the atato to sell laiitl.OUO of the capital Mock of the corporation. Fourth, the committee upon full Investigation finds that the only business transact ions between the Hartman Syndicate Inc. and any of Iho companies of K. W. Hartman is a contract for the purchase of ffi i'1- TURN HAIR DARK Tho old-time mixture of Rage Tea and Hulnhur for darkening gray. streaked and faded hair Is grand mother's recipe, and folks are again Ui-lng it to keep their half a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we ure living in an age when u youthful appearance is of the great est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have tho troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients called "Wyeth b Sage und Sulphur Compound." It i very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair tuking one tonall strand nt a time; .by morning the gray hair dis appears, hut what delights the ladles with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, is that, besides, beautifully darkening the hair after a few appli cations, it also produces that soft un tie and appearance of abundance which is so ultraciive. Adv. torlH from tlio Hartman ProcoHs com puny, and that ono of wild retortH ha already been purchaHcd at the actual'cfiHt of manufacturing Ha id re tort by the Huffalo Foundry and Ma- chlnery company of Jtuffalo New York. The committee further ftmiH tliat no profit or royally hu lioen paid to K, W. ilartman or will be paid to him ottu any of bin compan leH on the purchane of the retoit that haa already been delivered. The com mittee further finds that the Ilart man Syndicate Inc.. bus an agree ment to purchase the additional re toita at an exceedingly l-eanonable price and much below the figure at which they are quoted to others. plun a royally of ten centH per barrel to the Hartman I'i-occhh company. The conimilteo finds that any statement in the so called WeHt-lilack r-port in timatliiK' that the iiartuian Synilfcalc I nc, lias been overcliai ed on any equipment it has purchased Is un warranted from the facts.

Hart man. and fifteen thousand, rive hun- -i ,., f,,rtv-two alone to the trim- property taken over by the corpora tion. Tho committee finds that the property so taken over was appraised by the incorporators of the ilartman Syndlcato Inc. and the corporation de partment of the state of Oregon was fully informed and consented to thu incorporation of the said company upon the basis nf tho appraisal niado by the Incorporators, and that the per mlt to sell $350,000 worth of stock was granted after full and complete state ment of the affairs of the company at the time of incorporation were, dls closed to tho corporation commission er. The committee from information gathered from interviews with stock bidders does not find that there has been any misrepresentation made to any of tho stockholders regarding the amount of stock that was issued to Mr. H. V. Ilartman or to the trustees for the certificate holders of the Hart man Syndicate of tho Pacific Coast. Sixth, the committee has carefully investigated the representations mado by the officers and the salesmen of the company regarding ttie amount of real property owned by the company in fee and the amount under application for lease from tho Tnlted States govern ment, and the committee 'lints from n n j J in. if Constipated, Dizzy, Bilious Fenl fine!

The I committee does not find that uny of tile officers or salesmen have ever : represented that the company owned 3000 acres of land, and that any inti mation or statement in the West lllack report to tho effect that mis representation has been made is un warranted from the facts as disclosed by the records of tho company. Seventh, the committee finds from a full investigation of the property of the company that it has developed a largo deposit of shale which from the geological and engineer's report is of enormous tonnage and that the com pany has established ut its work, Shale City, Oregon, one retoit and necessary equipment for the extrac tion of oil from shale, which this com mittee believes will be capable of op erating successfully on a commercial basis. Klghth, tho committee finds from a personal Inspection of the plant of the company, and from a personal inves tigation of the books of the company that there Is no evidence of extrava gance or mismanagement and that any statement to that effect In the so-call ed West-lllack repent is false. Nine, the committee finds' that the Oswald West-1 1 lack committee made their report without proper Investiga tion of tho affairs of the Hartman Syndicte Lie. and that neither Oswald West or Oeorge Ulack or anyone rep resenting them have ever gone over the books and records of the com pany nor as far as this committee can learn have either of them made an inspection of the plant of the com pany. The committee therefore finds that tlie said Oswald West and Oeorge illack were not In possession of any official information upon which they could base their report (except report of the auditors of the company, a copy of which was furnished to Oswald West by the secretary of the company) and this committee finds that the rc- WATCH US GROW 7 one ot thest - Dau&iUers of Minister from, Norway .Win When Diplomats Hold Tennis Tourney at Washington Tho Misses Tjiura und Ingor Bryn, Juunhlora of Iho Norwegian envoy, aro shown aliove with their mothor, Mrs. H.
