COOPER OBJECTED
TO N. C. METHODS
It is reported that local manager J.
W. Duncan of the Northern Commer
cial company is in conference with the
Vice-president Washturn at Fairbanks
regarding the Cooper matter cf last
year. Cooper on his departure to the
States last fall intimated very strongly
that the matter would not be allowed
to rest, and that he would seek redress
through the courts in Seattle. The
facts of the controversy seem to place
Mr. Duncan in a peculiar position.
They are as follows: Joe Cooper was
indebted to the company for something
like $700. This was secured by a note
and mortgage due Oct. 1, 1904. Cooper
desired to go into business at Tanana,
telegraphed outside for money. This
money was wired to Cooper at Ram
part by a Seattle express company thro
the local N. C. station. When Cooper
applied to Manager Duncan for this
money in July, 1904, it was refused him
and he was informed that it had been
applied as payment of his indebtedness.
This forced Cooper to abandon his
projected enterprise at Tanana and to
leave the country.
