For several weeks Glenbrook has
beed invaded by summering Carson
ties. They have fished, boated and
climbed Shakespear, but the ever
fascinating echoes of the coves about
the point is the attraction.
A gentleman from this city, who
has been plotting number of young
ladies for the past week, had an ex-
perience in the echo line a few
evenings ago.
When the party was on the lake
in boat, just opposite the Logan
Point, some one shouted hello" To
the surprise OF all the answer came,
"hello" A new echo had been dis
covered and all kinds of fun was
INDUCED in. Such things as Hello

and hundred endearments were
shouted across the limped waters
only to be repeated in matter of
fact voice. One of the young ladies,
a school teacher from Carson, insist
ed that her voice was magnifed
when she shouted out, but was only
laughed at.
Finally the only married lady in
the crowd shouted, "Shut up Kcho."
Promptly the answer came back,

hoot prints with rocks, and doing
various other stunts in order to keep
the location of his camp and his
mine an everlasting secret.
1t was by mere accident that w.
7. Miles stumbled onto the camp a
few days ago. Mr.. Miles was out
on prospecting trip, on which he
suffered great hardship and priva-
ton, travelling over some of the
rockiest and steepest country that
water and provisions had driven
himself and partners almost to dis
traction, when the Scott camp was
sighted. Mr.. Miles, IN telling his
story here, said that he found unmis-
takabl evidence that the camp be-
longs to Walter Scott. as SCOTS
name was on several boxes, location
notices, papers, etc. "In reaching
the camp" said he, I'VE crossed
mountains where the least slip
would be fatal and would mean a
plunge of thousand feet to the
rocks below.
Johnnie Zeifle, a prominent real es-
tate owner of Rhyolite, started i'm
mediatcly after hearing Mr.. Miles
story, to search for the mysterious
mine, from which Scotty is suppos
Ell to have taken the pure metal all

CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND SCOTS CAMP!
RhyOlite PrOspectOr Stumbles Onto Retreat
Of mysterious" Walter Scott, of
Death Valley Fame.

Found at last! The hiding place
of "Mysterious" Scott is no longer a
secret, and it remained for a Rhyo-
lite prospcctor to ferret. out the hid
den mountain home of the cowboy
mine owner and spendthrift.
Away down on the east rim OF
Death Valley, about 65 miles south
east of Furnace Greek ranch, on the
extreme southerly end OF Funeral
range, is the camp OF Walter Scott
better known as mysterious" Scott
the man from Death Valley.
In narrow rocky chasm, sur
rounded on every side but one by
rugged mountains, so steep that the
hardest mountain climber would
not undertake to scale them, in
spot almost inaccessible to anything
but an airship Is the retreat OF this
twentieth century adventurer, this
mysterious, mystiiying. noun
taineer millionaire, who from all ac-
counts holds the key to a secret for
which every ambitious prospector is
searching-the hidden mystery of
the hills, IN which gold, shining gold
that buys dinners and charters rail
road trains, lies patiently awaiting
the coming of man.
Here, where even angels would
doubtless fear to tread. Walter
Scott, the daring desert rat, hies
himself way in hermit retreat, lest
any man on fortune bent should spy
him out and tresspass upon the
fruits of years OF searching and
labor in the dreaTy, desolate desert
of the great southwest.
Walter Scott's domicile consists
of cave in the rocks, in which he
has all the comforts OF civilization.
The furniture comprises 1t desk,
an easy chair, a bed, dresser, etc,
and bath tub On the opposite side
OF the chasm is another cave, in
which Scotty stores a large supply
of groceries, mine supplies and pro-
visions OF all kinds.
The empty champagne bottles that
lie about the place as silent sentinels,
testify to the tact that the cowboy
miner aims to enjoy himself where
ever he goes, for NUNS" the word
with him and he is always extra
dry"
Close at hand Is fine spring OF
pure and sparkling water. While
Scottv has never been known to en-
tertain anyone in this place, he has
surprise, and has ac-
cordingly hung up sign board
which reads, Kat all you want to,
but don't carry anything way"
SO utterly hidden is this retreat
that no one can approach it over a
trail. There are no trails. Walter
Scott has n habit OF dragging his
burros over the steepest and rough
est rocks, crossing and recrossing
his trial, going miles to make few

Catarrh of the Stomach caused Indigestion

opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-

mucous membranes lining the stomach and

~ do THINGS differently from the

East An oklahoma publisher decided
recently that the town wasn't support

he said:

have acted differently. His object
would have been to sell the paper. He
would have praised the town. its lead

he gone under. he would have quit with

the proposals of the Democrats. who fin

of his choice fer all five of the places
filled. leaving two Democrats holding over

expected this has created a furore in the

chief clerk of the city Treasurer. and an
other colored man as Bailiff Of Council;

Perhaps its advice is good, but there

peared exclusively IN The Evening

ing 1t shows that our leaders have
come to realize that that kind Of
politics is played out" meaning the
kind which Councilman Postles has
been illustrating
Now United States Senators do not
rush into print to express opinions
concerning political snarl IN their
own party unless It occurs to them
that some party principle has been
outraged. and Senator Alice gives us
TO understand in his interview that
frcm him at least the politics that has
been played by Postles receives moth
ing but the severest condemnation.
That such methods have played out
nobody who "a in touch with the peo-
pie win doubt OH how tired of il

somew al late. seems TO have caught
the new spirit
Let this spirit prevail, and in the
next campaisn there win be unitee

sic convention That Is what Repupr
cans Of an shades demand. There is
go longer amy bitterness between real
assular Repahnoans ana real Union
Republicans because the issue which
divided them has practically disap-
peaicd The move Of Postles was NOT
a Union Republican move-it was in
spifed by selhshness ON his part and
under the advice Of few Addicks
politicians Of no weight in the Coun-
els of the Union party
There is the dawning Of a brighter
morn, and as Ions as conduct is right
1t win be we'll 10 drop the disposition
to search for sinister motives If the
Republican party is to be built up and
united. men must insist on conduct
