No Hurry, For the Whisky Is Growing Bet
ter and the Gold No Worse.


Mr.. w. K. Smith of this city owns a
farm Of some 500 acres on the west shore
Of Sauvie's island, on which there is said
to be a treasure of 500 900 buried and
alongside of it a big trunkful of bottles
of whisky. The particulars in regard to
the matter were learned from Mr.. Smith
himself a few days ago on the steamer
Kellogg.
During the past winter, Mr.. Smith
stated, some parties had been boring
holes all over his farm IN search Of a
treasure buried there. The work had
been done at night. and the neighboriug
farmers had seen the lanterns fitting
around the place and mistaken them for
ignus fatui.
The treasure, which is by some said to
be in a trunk and by others in tin cans
was buried there back i'll the sixties by q
stranger, who afterward had the mis-
fortune to get into the state penitentiary
and the further misfortune to drop dead
of heart disease in a hotel in this city
soon after gett .ng out Of prison and be-
fore he had time to recover the gold,
which is mostly in $50 slugs. While in
the penitentiary this unfortunate man
revealed the secret of his treasure to his
cellmate and also furnished him with a
rude map of the ground, intended to show
where the treasure IS located. the pear
ings of certain trees, stumps. etc, being
given as witness marks. This map does
not appear to be definite enough, as the
fellows have been boring all over the
place till it begins to look like big pep
per box.
When asked why he had made no eff
fort to recover this treasure himself Mr..
Smith intim ated that he had not been IN
any need of the money, and for the
trunkful of whisky, it was improving
with age and would keep best whore it
is The holes bored. he said are inches
in diameter and 20 feet in depth. He has
not decided whether he will fill them
with mold and raise lot Of prize par
ships and horseradish for the exposition,
or whether he will have them pulled up
and welded into one deep artesian well.
He thinks the fellows have bored enough
holes to thoroughly ventilate his farm,
and intends to get the idea conveyed to
them that the treasure is buried under
tree or stump, and expects thus to get
all the timber cleared off his place,
which he intends soon to have all under
cultivation.-Por Oregonian.

partment and firmly established it on a
nonpartisan basis. He was also of service
in framing the present city charter and
III inaugurating the new municipal
methods that went into effect in 1879.
He was nominated for mayor of Chicago

A CHASTITY joke was perpetrated the
other day in the cid potter's field, Ports
mouth. An unknown young white man
had placed a box in an open grave,
blacked his face and hands, entered the
box and was covered with dirt by
friends, . place being left for air. When
the cemetery hands came to remove the
bodies not already taken up, the dirt
was removed and the box containing the
Joker opened. He then raised up, al
though nearly suffocated. With yell
the men fed In every direction, several
becoming unconscious from fright. Dur
ing the excitement the joker and his
friends escaped. -Baltimor American.

In spite of the imports from Poland,
Finland, Holland and even America and
the pony trade with the Baltic, our ex-
port of horses enormously exceeds the
imports in value. A three years total
gives e2, 532, 600 Of exports as against
ESQ.,. 600 of imports, and the quality and
price of English horses rise steadily.
The imports DO not include those from
Ireland, which until recently supplied
the entire Belgian army with remounts
and at present largely fill the ranks OF
London cab horses. They fetch on the
average about $50 apiece, and as new
hanson cab costs e1O0 the hirer enjoys
the temporary use Of a capital Of 2130
and the services of the driver. But the
number OF cabs steadily decrease, and
from the horses point of view this de-
cline is hardly to be deplored.-London

Minnesota 20 years ago, has been seven
years a United States senator and has
been prominent political leader in his
state for nearly 80 years.
Cushman Kellogg Davis has a pictur-
esque personality and an interesting
history. In appearance he bears a mark
ed resemblance to the late Benjamin T.
Butler. The bald spot on his head is not
quite so fsrreaching as the generals
was, but he has the same facial features
and the same peculiar overhanging left
eyelid. 1t is said that about 10 years
ago Butler and Davis were guests at the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York. and
by chance were seated at table facing
each other The other guests in the din
ing room, attracted by their resem-
btance, watched them constantly during
the meal, and finally an old clergyman
who was acquainted with General But
Ter walked over to the table, and greet
ing the general said that he had never
known before that General Butler had
SON Tue incident brought about intro
ductions and pleasant talk between the
two politicians.
Senator Davis was born So years ago
IN Henderson, jefferson county. n Y.
His parents went to Wisconsin in his
infancv and settled ON the tract of land
site Of Bethesda Springs Young Davis
was Fl aduated at Ann Arbor in 1857 and
then studied law. He served as first
lieutenant Of the Twenty eighth Wis
consin volunteers during the war, and
after being mustered out moved to St.
Paul and established large and lucra-
tive law practice. It was built up large

The senator signalized his entry into
public life by opposition to the railroad
corporations, and while he was govern
or in 1918 legislation was effected
by which the control of the railroads
passed into tie hands of the state, and
the rates of transportation were made
at the state capitol Mr. Davis was a

RAILROAD KING AND LABOR LEADER.
John M. Egan and Eugene Y. Deos. Rival
Leaders In the Great Pullman Struggle
The great Pullman railway boycott
has drawn a good deal Of attention to
the opposing leaders in that controversy
namely, John NJ. Egan, president Of
the General Managers association, and
E. v. Debs the head Of the American
Railway union Both Of these gifted
generals are comparative strangers to
the general public, although Mr. Egan
has long been favorably known to rail-
way officials, and for some years Mr..
Debs has been conspicuous among labor
leaders
Mr.. Egan was born in Springfield,
Mass, March 90, 1s4s. He moved to
Illinois when a boy and entered the Il
