Who Will Find 1t.

In the year 1890, it IS reported that {
large amount of treasure on board con
sisting of SIX boxes of Spanish money, eacl
box requiring six men to move 1t, and the
total value was Sl,5OO.O0O. The captain
being a pirate and closely pursued, put
into Nehalem bay, and finding it lonely
place agreed with his crew to bury the
money and valuables on a certain side oi
the river near where a small creek put in,
and between two certain trees. They each
agreed with their captain by binding OBJ
legation that they would nsver reveal the
place where the treasures were buried, with
penalty of their lives, unless all were
agreed, and to share the treasures equally.
In the year 1852, one of the survivors,
whose life was saved by man at that
time living near Portland, afterwards on a
deathbed made the above confession.
Some 20 years has passed away and still
thislarge sum of money lies buried in the
shady nook of the Nehalem. Last week
the old man came to town that this con-
fession was made to, and quietly wended
his way toward the majestic Nehalen, in
pursuit of the long hidden treasure. This
is not the only man that is in search of
these buried treasures, but for several years
past, men haye come to Tillamook county,
and IN the vicinity of the Nehalen, have
dug large holes and tunnels for the same
purpose. Time no doubt will reveal many
hidden histories. But VINO will find the
hidden treasure on the Nehalem river?

When Tenderfeet Are Dangerous
Kansas City Times.


1.-THE man to be feared for the trouble
that he can make in the west is not the
dead shot who has killed dozen men,"
said an old timer from Arizona at the
Midland last night, "but the young
blood, a cembination of the cowboy and
the tenderfoot. The former is usually
quick, cool and level headed, and when
he shoots he shoots to kill. The latter IS
IN hurry to get into a fight and will
never listen to reason or Common sense.
The moment he gets into trouble he thinks
that his duty is to draw revolver and
commence shooting. He may probably
hit the man he is trying to kill. He is
like the fool-frend that we are constantly
praying to be delivered from. His ca
pac,ty for mischief is unbounded, but his
plans for getting out of scrape are never
matured and are sure 10 fall through. I
don't object to taking hand in fight
when lot of experienced men are on the
ground, but when a lot of greenhorns
commence shooting I don't object to
hunting up a new location"

a PRoMIsING FINANCIEn.

We bought our little Billy boy
A little bank of tin;
A pretty little thing it was
10 put his pennies in;
And many penny, all of us,s
The little fellow gave;
Our object being laudable.
To teach him how to save
Time came when we concluded that
The bank that we had bought
Should surely full of pennies be,
And open it we ought.
The opening of the affair
Was made great event.
But we were rather startled when
We found there not cent!
And little Billy then confessed,
With some degree Of pride.
He'd tapped the bank and calmly spent
The money all outside.
AT first we all were grave, then glad
For he had made 1t clear,
That he was of the stuff to be
A modern financier.

a Foree... Of Pacific Commerce.

The newer West, If it can have no
interior water traffic, will neverthe-
less have-indeed already has-a
commercial position OF vast import
ance. Years since, a great Russian
publicist, Alexander Herven, wrote
of the Pacific Ocean as destined to be
the new worlds Mediterranean. It
was pointed out that nearly one-half
OF the globes inhabitants were on the
Asian side thereof, and were therefore
its commercial tributaries. The
American shores of the Pacific are
first to be considered in all forecasts
OF commercial progress and power.
The people who are making Puget
Sound alive with their activities,
are surely bound to grasp the traffic
Of the North Pacific. The men OF the
Oregon and California coast are not
likely to be limited in their Industrial
ambitions. One OF the ..capatins"
holds the Sandwich Islands in his
hands, and Samoa will yet, despite
the triple protectorate, fall easily un-
der American control--not necessari-
ly governmental, however. No mat
ter what action British or Canadian
statesmen may take, and however
vast the sums they expend, it will
soon be seen in our national councils,
that the newer West will demand, and
that its growing business activity will
compel, the absorption not only of the
whole coast from Washington to Alas
ka, but OF at least the Northwest por-
ton of the Dominion. British Colum-
bia and all the rest east to Winnipeg
will ere long be looking toward con-
tinental union. The same law of ply.
steal unity which has been considered
as Immediately affecting the newer
West and its internal polity, must
control in the extension of our Repub-
lie to the northwest. The peninsula
of Lower California will finally follow
the same directive impulse.
