Brockwayville Man is Deservi ,g Of Sup

j, .. NOOFEH fOr rOLAN VA NbiOA -
Brockwayville Man is Deservi ,g Of Sup
port of Jefferson Co. Republicans.
In fey days the Republicans of
Jefferson county will be called upon to
nominate men for the various offices
that will be vacated with the close of
this year, and one of the most impor-
tant Offices to be filled is that Of county
commissioner in which capacity men
are given the responsibility of conduct
ing the business of the county as well
as looking after the interests OF the
people within the district In the
selection of county commissioners voters
should elect men who are known to be
worthy of their support and who will
give the duties entrusted them the
proper and careful attention they de-
serve. Brockwayville has candidate
for nomination and election to the office
of commissioner and the Record is
pleased to say that there is no man who
is better qualified or more capable to
assume the responsibilities of this i'm
portant office than James s. Cooper.
In Mr.. Cooper this town and the county
has man who is staunch Republican
and known to be an active worker for
many years who has never had recog-
milton at the hands of the party. In
this worthy son of the Beechwoods is a
recognized man of ability, honesty and
integrity, man of good morals, a
public spirited and popular citizen who
is we'll known and highly esteemed from
one end of the county to the other. The
office to which he aspires is an i'm
portant one and if he were not capable
of filling it with utmost satisfaction to
the people James Cooper would not seek
the support of his friends.
The subject Of this article, j. S.
Cooper, was raised on his fa' hers farm
and lived at home until he ' as young
man. In 1886 he was injured in the
woods while at work, wing been
struck with heavy moving log which
laid him up for two years, md he has
since and will always be cripple. Mr..
Cooper is considered one of The best
citizens Of town and has always taken
an active part in the affairs )i the town
and county. He has been assessor of
this borough for ten consecutive years
which is evidence of trust and good
will Of the home people Fifteen years
ago Mr.. Cooper was candidate for
county treasurer, having 1900 votes and
being the second highest of four or five
| candidates. He lost the nomination, as
did the highest man. on account of the
low candidates giving their electors tc
the third man who was declared, ac'
cording to the rules then in vogue
elecled. The contest at that time was
considered hot one.
Brockwayville has no better citizer
and Jefferson county has no better mar
! for the position of county commissioner
than j S: Cooper. The Republicans o
Jefferson county will be only doing theil
duty and will appreciate the wisdom o
their decision in the future if they
select for one of their commissioners al
the primaries on the 18th Of this month

Agriculture Building.

The Agriculture building at the Lewis and
Clark exposition is the largest and one Of
the handsomest structures on the grounds.
1t is 460xAo feet in dimensions and is sit
uated on the east side OF Columbia Court,
the main plaza Of the exposition. The struc-
ture cost s74,659. In design the Agricultural
Palace is composite and its inception can
not be traced definitely to any order.
Wherever the architect felt that the EN-
bodiment of q feature from some estab-
lished order would better the appearance
Of the building this was done, and the re-
suit has been satisfactory in every psrticu-
lar Traces Of the Romanesque are found
In the ornate work inclosing the window
frames, and in many instances Spanish
Renaissance has been used to advantage.
The main entrances are designed after the
Mission architecture and are very pleasing.
With its soft cream-tinted facade, red
hued tiles and Its great translucent dome,
the Agriculture building is one OF the most
presentable OF any at the exposition. The
dome is a particular feature Of the build
ing. This rises from the center Of the
structure and is of monstrous proportions,
and can be seen. not only from every part
of the grounds. but for miles down the
Willamette river. Its great ribs and the
final, which crowns II, are literally studded
with incandescent lights which at night
offer a scene marvelously attractive. Cast
stafT has been used upon this building elab-
orately and it is generously favored with
attractive pilasters. cartouches and fes-
toons.

Madonna of Solid Gold.

The most wonderful treasure island in
this part Of the world, however, is Cocos
island, which lies in the Pacific ocean
south Of Costa Rica and about TWO days
steam from Panama A party of treasure
hunters are there now, and d steamer OF
500 tons which is fitted out for another
party to hunt that treasure has just LETT
Panama.
In the first place, let me tell you some
thing Of the treasure. Ii is said TO be
worth SJo0oO,00O TO SlV0, ,U00, 600, and is made
up OF silver, gold and jewels. Among the
objects buried is a life-sized statue of the
holy virgin, made Of solid gold, and smaller
golden statues OF several saints. These
were carried to the island in l720. at the
time Of a revolution in Peru, when the cit
izens Of Callao fed there with their plate,
bullion and valuables. They were in dan
ger Of their lives, and they chartered a
little Newfoundland vessel named the
Mary Dear, which was lying at the wharf.
The officers were not told where they were
going. They were chased by Peruvian
man-of-war, but escaped and finally landed
al Cocos island, where elven boatloads Of
treasure were taken ashore ana buried.
The vessel then started back to Peru, but
was met by one of the Peruvian men-of-
war and bombarded. The result was that
every person on board was killed with the
exception Of two men named Heating and
Thompson
/ do not know what became Of Thomp-
son, but keating returned TO Newfound-
land and organized an expedition to go to
Cocos island and get the treasure. He
landed there and took some away, but.
coming back to Panama to get some tools
for further excavation, his vessel was
wrecked and as a result he saved only
1850. This he carried with him 10 New
foundland and again got up an expedition.
On his second journey. however. he and
his crew were arrested at Panama and mar
rowly escaped execution This discouraged
him and he went back 10 Newfoundland
and there died, leaving his charts and maps
10 hts daughter. Mrs. Young. who in 1855
was living in Boston.
In addition to this treasure left by the
Peruvian revolutionists there are pirate
boards, which were buried there by
William Dampier, a buccaneer who raw
aged these seas in the latter part Of the
seventeenth century. Dampier blockaded
Panama in lsS4, and the following year he
took a big treasure ship. which was COM

Oriental Exhibits Building.

The Oriental Exhibits building is the only
structure in which the classics have been
followed consistently as regards design.
The building is S03 feet long and loo feet
wide and contains 1000 square feet OF ex-
hibit space. In design the structure is
strictly Corinthian. The main entrance is
situated on the south front and is very i'm

side Of the entrance and project sufficiently
to afford ample shelter to the main door
ways. These are ornamented with care
fully studied cartouches The entrance

Mona Island Millions.

I heard the story of a live treasure on
my way 10 Panama The captain of one
of the ships which sail from New York to
Colon is financially interested in ii, and it
is from his mouth that ! have the story.
The names. with the exception Of the pi-
rates. are changed, as the man who owns
the secret is stin living. and the several
prominent Americans who have been hunt
ing the hoard do not care for publicity.
Said the captain:
Our treasure lies somewhere in the
Island Of Mona, and we have chart which
ought TO show the exact spot II is COM
posed of silver hid there by pirates The
silver is in round plates, and there is so
much OF II that it lightened the boat which
carried it there three feet when II was
taken out. Figuring on the size OF the
boat I estimate that il must weigh at
least 100 tons, OF. in round numbers, Just
about 10000 pounds. and all is pure silver.
Il first got wind OF this treasure in
Mexico City" continued the captain. My
information came from friend whom I
shall call Smith, and he had IL by tradi-
ton from his great-great-grandfathe who
was chaplain OF the New York City prison
In 1870. While acting such two pirates, a
captain named Golden and a mate named
Fraser, were in Jail condemned TO death.
Chaplain Smith was the only man who was
kind TO them, and each, not knowing that
the other was doing likewise, confided TO
him that the pirate crew 10 which they be-
longed had buried this treasure on the
island OF Mona. They told similar stories
OF their captures. and how they had put
their prisoners 10 death by making them
walk the plank. On being chased by a
man-of-war they had taken their treasure
TO Mona and buried II there. The captain
gave the chaplain chart showing exactly
where the treasure lay. II was near tree
within a certain pacing distance from some
wells. A similar story was told by the
mate. These stories and the chart were
Ia nded down from father to son. until they
had reached my friend Smith. I urged him
TO join with me and form a company 10
seek the treasure, and this We did"
And how did you sueeeed?'' asked.
We failed" replied the captain. but /
am sure the treasure is there yet. and we
shall try again. There are ive members
in the company and II is a close corpora
tion. Il is only short time since We made
our first expedition. We went to Mayaguez.

Guilds lake. the largest body of water
ever contained within the domain of an
exposition. For the construction Of this
building two miles OF logs, FIVE and six
feet in diameter and fifty-two feet long,
eight miles Of poles and tons of shakes
and shingles were required. The structure
is distinctly representative of the timber
resources for which the state OF Oregon
is famous, and the people of the common
wealth felicitate themselves in having such
a characteristic design for the most i'm
portant of the exhibit buildings at the
Centennial. Exteriorily the Forestry build
ing is not unlike a great log cabin, but the
details of its construction distinguish 1t
and give 1t a stateliness Of appearance
even superior to that OF its neighbor, the
Oriental Exhibits building, a true replica
Of the Corinthian order As surprising and
attractive as is the exterior of the For
estry building. It's interior is more so.
There is offered a veritable forest OF frs.
hfty-two tree columns, as thick as a man
is tall, towering to the rafters, fifty feet
above. These are grouped to form an
enormous colonnade and are displayed TO
excellent advantage The interior walls OF
the Forestry building are also unfinished,
and their crude surfaces afford a very
pleasing appearance. Rustic stairways lead
to a series Of balconies. from which the
visitor may view the exhibits as well as the
native products of the forest.
