FOR YOUR PERUSAL
Oonccrnlntt International Lumber
Company.
Office of International LumlDor &
Development Company.
Philadelphia, Juno 24, 1912.
To Whom It May Concern:
As the result of venomous and
malicious attacks made by a news
paper last winter and other falso
rumors put In circulation by ene
mies of the company, numerous com
plnlnts have been filed with the
Postofflco 'Department and an ex
amination of the Company's affairs
followed.
This was accompanied by or sim
ultaneous with attempts In the
courts by certain attorneys in the
name of a few stockholders to get
control of the business and proporty
of the company by enjoining the of
ficers nnd directors even the con
tractors doing tho work in Mexico
from carrying on tho business of tho
company, and to put it into the
hands of a receiver.
The attempt to get a temporary
Injunction and receiver pending tho
litigation failed and the motion wns
withdrawn on tho 31st of May,
1912, and the costs thereof taxed
to tho complanants.
It was believed by tho friends of
the company that this attempt to
wreck or break it up had 'been
abandoned and that the business of
tho company could go forward in
the regular way, but within tho last
few days all the officers and direc
tors of tho company who are at
present in 'Philadelphia, were ar
rested and required to give ball to
appear before tho court on Septem
ber 1C next to answer the charge of
conspiracy to defraud.
These arrests were under an In
dictment by the Federal Grand Jury.
Thero has been no hearing on this
charge, the officers and directors
charged had no notice of the pro
ceeding. The chargo or Indictment
seems to be based on the state
ments of or evidence against the
company on one side. only and In se
cret, and the first and only notice
that the accused had was when they
were arrested.
This action was a surprise to tho
officers and directors as the Postof-
flce authorities had on two previous
occasions made investigation of the
business of the company and its
property in Mexico, tho first one be
ing in year 1905, and apparently
found nothing upon which to base
action of any kind.
Tho postal authorities are not
now accused of having acted improp
erly or maliciously but it is believed
that they were compelled to make
investigation at a time and under
adverse conditions created by our.
enemies.
The individuals against whom this
chargo Is made aro perfectly con
scientious In their knowledge that
they have done no wrong and that
not only is tho charge false and un
founded but that it cannot be sus
tained, while they on the other hand
can and will affirmatively prove it
to bo false, without justification in
every particular and detail as soon
as It is possible to get a fair and
open hearing.
This statement is not made in the
defense of the men charged with
crime. That will (bo taken care of
when the opportunity occurs, but it
is made in order that thoso Interest
ed as stockholders or otherwise may
not be received by newspaper state
ments or attorneys claiming to repre
sent stockholders, into taking action
adverse to the company or assisting
n attempts to destroy it.
These attorneys speaking through
the newspapers aro assuring stock
holders that they are trying again to
have a receiver appointed and get
control of the company. They will
probably write letters to the stock
holders to the same effect and seem
to be trying to convey tho impression
that the company has been "raided"
and its business stopped.
Thih Is entirely incorrect. On the
contrary the officers and directors
aro at their posts devoting their un
remitting attention to the business
of tho company and striving to so
dlreit and manage affairs that tho
completion of the supplemental con
trart shall be accomplished at tho
earliest possible moment and desire
only to be permitted to carry out
these plans unhampered by threat
ening vexations and destructive liti
gation. Notwithstanding the facts, and
though even their attorneys aro
quoted as saying in tho Evening
Times of Juno 22 taht tho land of
the company is "ono of tho richest
sertions in tho Kopubllc and can
bo developed to pay enormous re
turns" "that this land has not only
vast timber tracts but also has rich
ore deposits and many acres of fer
tile farming country," tho enemies
o' 1 he company charge us with mon
strous frauds and say that the prop
erty of i he company is almost value
less, hcni c we should be prosecuted
and the company turned over to
strangers to bo dealt with as usually
tiappt-ns when a company goes into
lie hands of a receiver.
The officers and directors say that
tftcy have been guilty of no fraud,
mismanagement or wrong doing;
that the company has tho Immensely
valuable property In Mexico in evory
respei t as it has been represented;
that tho development of tho property
is nearlng completion; that when
completed In Soptember, 1912, as
reported by contractors April 11,
1912, the earnings will bo so vastly
increased that no reasonable share
holder can fail to bo satisfied with
ins investment and that ihoy aro
using overy effort and means at
their command to hasten this desir
able condition.
All the land of tho company is
paid for in full. No salaries have
been paid out of earnings to any
officers prior to January 1, 1912.
Not a dollar of money has been mis
appropriated. All dividends paid
have been realized from profits of
tho operations of tho property of
company under tho development con
tract. To fair minded shareholders wo
wish to put this question: Will you
judgo tho company to bo a fraud,
its proporty worthless, and its mana
gers guilty of honlous crimes, beforo
any of theso accusations nro proven
or any hearing had thereon? Or will
you 6ay as tho law and justice does
that overy man must bo held inno
cent till ho is proven guilty, and
will at least suspend Judgment and
do nothing to causo tho injury or
wrecking of tho company until thero
1b nn opportunity for proof to bo
made In these mattors and this great
company saved to all concerned
therein.
To all willing to suspend Judg
ment nnd support tho management In
their difficult tnsk, wo havo to say
that If allowed to carry out our
plans unhampered by tho Interfer
ence of the courts, thnt so surely as
tho sun shines wo will provo that
tho property of the company Is great
nnd valuable as has always been
claimed, that it has been developod
and equipped till It has enormous
earning power, In brief that every
representation made with regard to
it has been made good.
Tho situation Is this: Support,
sustain and co-opcrato with the man
agement nnd they will make tho
company and every Investment there
in a great success. On tho other
hand Join with the enemy, attack,
sue, fight, put Into the hands of a
receiver, tear down, destroy tho com
pany, and every Investment will bo
lost in the ruins. . Tako your choice.
As soon as possible a complete
statement of the wholo situation will
be sent out to all concerned. We
recommend that our shareholders do
not part with their holdings at a
sacrifice "but increase them when
they can do so on favorable terms.

Vice-Pres. and Chairman of Execu
tive Committee.
AT WAII WITH THK FIiY.
A Vigorous Campaign to be Carried
Out Apilii-st Tills Pent.
Tho State Department of Health
is urging health officers throughout
tho State to conduct a vigorous antl
lly crusade at this time, pointing
out that the same expenditure of
effort at the beginning of the fly
season will accomplish much more
than it can in tho height of tho sum
mer. The weather has been cold and
wet, nnd the consequent backward
ness of tho lly crop tells in favor of
tho campaign of tho "ily-swatters."
A number of cities and villages
throughout the state havo held n
"Clean-up" week, and in connection
with this excellent idea tho Depart
ment of Health asks the pertinent
question: "Why not have fifty-two
clean-up weeks?" In other words
having after some effort become
clean, why not stay clean? Why not
cultivate a public sentiment against
untidiness about tho premises and in
the streets, supplementing tho teach
ing by the making and enforcing of
ordinances for the benefit of those
who need a little stronger form of
persuasion? Uy preventing at this
time and throughout the summer the
accumulation of manure in uncover
ed heaps and of garbage in uncovored
receptacles, tho female flies will be
without breeding places In which to
deposit their eggs.
It is too much to expect, however,
that no flies will breed; It is a good
plan therefore to hang up traps near
possible breeding places. Those that
find their way Into houses or mar
kets, etc., should be "swatted" or
polsonod. Ono of the most effective
poisons is a mixture of two table
spoonsfuls of formalin with a pint
of equal parts of milk and water.
This mixture Is death to flies and
less dangerous to human beings than
many popular fly-poisons; it can be
placed in shallow dishes with a
piece of bread in the center to form
a feeding placo.
Flies, as well as bad water, spread
typhoid, and it costs less to buy a
screen door than to pay a doctor's
bill, while screens In the window
may prevent crepe on the lloor. The
summer months are always marked
by many deaths among Infants, and
for many of these, Hies aro direct-(
ly responsible by poisoning the milk
fed to tho baby. The State De
partment of Health says that a moth
er who loves her child should as
soon think of giving it poison as
milk in which a lly has alighted, un
less tho milk is brought to a boiling
point after the fly has been removed.
Death of Mrs. Jesso JIatliavvny.
Mrs. Jesso Hathaway, tho subject
of this sketch, died at her homo in
Lookout, Pa., Juno 19, after an ill
ness of more than six months, of
tuberculosis of tho bowels.
Deceased, who was tho daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan Hawley of
Lookout, was born April 18, I860,
and on Oct. 10, 1878, was united In
marriage with Jesse Hathaway. Be
sides her parents and husband she Is
survived by ono daughter, Mrs. Nor
man Tyler and ono son, Leland
Hathaway. She was a sister of Mrs.
Vernon T. Whltaker of Hancock.
For years Mrs. Hathaway had been
a member and faithful worker in the
Methodist church, and was loved by
a largo circle of friends. The funer
al service was held in the church at
Lookout on Friday last, tho pastor,
Kov. liowen, officiating. Her re
mains were interred in Pino Mill
cemetery. Hancock Herald.
AFTHIl THE COKPOKATIONS.
Tho internal rovenuo department

age in placing before the people tho
statutes under which the department

It is the plan to Issue circulars
giving information as to tho means

BUTTERMILK.
Only a few years ago tho chickens
and the pigs got most of the resi
duum of a churning. They get very
littlo of it now, for the wise men or
the hospitals have educated the pub
lic to a knowledge of Its value.
Not only in cases of serious stoma
chic ailment, but for all persons of
feeble or impaired digestion, butter
milk is now esteemed a boon. Tho
onco despised by-product ranks
with sweet milk, and outranks It
both with thoso who find it palat
able and cravo it, and with those for
whom it is medicinally prescribed.
The taste for buttermilk is most
ly acquired, but once one gets tho
habit it grows and sticks. Back of
tho developed fondness for the cold,
tart, acid beverage Is tho agreeable
consciousness that the drink, with
tho casein principle of milk elimin
ated, is a food salutary, wholesome
and easily digested, and that the
moro one Imbibes of It so much the
better. Recent years have witness
ed nn enormous increase in tho con
sumption of buttermilk. Depart
ment stores servo It with crackers;
most saloons aro compelled to keep
It on tap, and many report a gratify
ing preference for it on tho part of
their patrons over beer.
Great is buttermilk, indeed; a
nutritious food, a cooling Summer
drink.
Good U.so for Mail Order Catalogs.
A largo number of catalogs from
a big mall order house contlnuo to
come in at frequent periods, and
several of thoso who havo received
them say that they aro very nice to
uso in starting the kitchen fire on a
cold morning. The grade of paper
used Is of a kind that burns readily
and tho largo amount of reading
matter In tho book has mado It
nocessary to uso quantities of print
er's ink, which Is very combustible.
If you havo such a mail order cata
log try tho experiment when you
build tho llro In the morning. It Is
said that tho catalogs that have
never been read make tho best
kindling and It would bo better to
uso it with tho mailing wrapper
still on.
