liners Of this city Of their feminine
headware. most Of the stores where

Among the most attractive dis

the Bryan Dry Goods Co., Mrs.
Griffin has a large clientele who
depend upon her to furnish them

When Representative Babcock,
the leader of the band Of ''insur-
gents" impugned the motives Of
the "regulars" in the house today
during consideration Of the bill, he
was answered by Mr.. Dalzell who
earnestly asserted that the major
ity not only wanted statehood but
that they were going to have it.
The reason assigned for Senator
Foraker's objection to having the
president Of the senate select the
senate coferees was on account OF
his desire to prevent Senator Bev-
eridge being appointed. The sen
ate will probably select its conferees
tomorrow.

Mr.. Heryer's Comment on City Ac-
counts and his Advice

In the summary of the report
to the city council given by the

that the general fund warrants
outstanding amounted to $40, 800.
ga. This was an error and should
have read $40, ,666.o4.
Mr. Heryer concludes his report
thus:
GAS a whole | found the citv's
accounting system very slack and
it was almost next to impossible to
procure the desired information.
THE various officers, however
should not be censured too severly
for the loose manner in which the
records HAYS been kept, as the
council IS wholly to blame. First
That suitable and sufficient books
were not furnished the different
departments and Second That
they did not see that they were
being properly kept
II do not wish to leave the i'm.
preston that all all Of the the city
officers have neglected their duty,
for | foundgthe records of the pres
ent tax collector in good form, Sc
far as the records are being kept.
also those Of the school board,
| Il refer to the minute book and
voucher receipt system which are
very complete) but they have nev
er kept a record cash book show
ing receipts and disbursements
which should by all mean be in
Fstalled.
Further, I found the records o
Mr.. Dews, the present city clerl
being kept in an exemplary man
ner and could not offer any i'm
provements or suggestions in thi
department.
In view of the fact that the cit,
of Chickasha has now reached
point where it is absolutely impera
: tive that accurately detailed boo
accounts be kept in order to cop
with the ever increasing liabilities
I respectfully recommend that
:, permanent auditor be hired. Thi
y he shall Immediately inaugurate a
y up.to-date system Of accounting
d the city's affairs, that he shall OF
a en- up and install this system, an
q that it shall be his further duty

WILL COME
AT THIS SESSION SAYS FEcHHEIM-
Err AFTER FIVE WEEKS SPENT
AT THE CAPITAL
JOE CANNON WILL COME DOWN
From. his Perch. Pressure is too
Strong to Resist

Chas. NJ. Fechheimer who return
ed from Washington yesterday
ofternoon is full of statehood en-
thusiam and comes home firm IN
the belief that statehood for Okla
hona and Indian Territory will be
come a fact before the close OF the
session. He spent FIVE weeks at the
capital and is thoroughly posted on
the situation. His opinion there
fore is worthy of special notice.
Mr.. ,Fechheimer thinks that
Speaker Cannon will yield to the
pressure that is being brought to
bear and the House will consent to
compromise that will admit greater
Oklahoma. He does not anticipate
an early disposition of the question.
The bill will probably be in the
hands of the conference committee
for a month, perhaps two m onths
but before the session closes favor
able action IS sure to result.
The Chickasha representative
was one of the busiest and hardest
Oklahoma workers at the capital.
Between looking after the Chick
asha court amendment, the state
hood bill in general, the Curtis bill
and the tribal tax matter he found
his time fally occupied and he says
he has had enough legislative ex-
peience and doesn't care for anoth-
er Job of the kind. He advises that
the people of the territories keep
up the strong fight they have been
making and that all efforts be con-
centrated on the conference COM
mittee.
AS TO the Status Of the Chick
asha court proposition, MI. Fech-
heimer states that it will probably
take hard work to hold Chickashs
lin the bill. AS passed by the Sen
ate. six towns were named asplace:
for holding court and it is altogeth
er likely that the conference com
mittee willleave out some of these
Chickasha by her location is clear
lly entitled to court and will get /
lif the committee acquaints itsel
fully with conditions.
The Curtis bill will pass, beyon'
question says Mr.. Fechheimer.
Mr. Fechheimer repudiates
great past of the Wichita Eagle
sensational story of his invasion {
the sacred precincts of the Senat
chamber. He says, however, tha
he did get one foot inside the doc
! and had Senator Bailey's priva'
secretary, Mr.. Jamesr to carry
I message to Senator Culberson r.
minding him of the Chickash
court amendment. He states th
!, Senator Bailey was hurriedly cal
ed away the evening before the vo
was taken in the Senate and d
not have time to confer with b
colleague in regard to the amen
ment.
Chickasha owes much to G
/, Barsfoot. Mr.. Melton, and N

They were not disappointed, for as

Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-26


Some ten years ago a Bolivian company OBJ
tanned concession from the government, and
made another attempt to secure the treasure of
the Golden One" They failed, and then an
English company Contractors, Lmited-took
over their concession and set to work to drain
the lake. The engineers found its depth had
been greatly exaggerated by the old chronicles,
or perhaps it had been growing shallower of
late years. At any rate, it was less than fifty
feet deep.
The engineers, ignoring the cutting made by
the Spaniards drove a tunnel 200 feet long
through the hills to spot seventy feet under
the centre of the lake Then they sank shaft
in the water to join this tunnel, and two
years ago succeeded in draining away the water.
Then a fresh difficulty presented itself. The
bed of the lake is of mud, twenty-five feet deep,
and the treasure, if treasure there be, is embed
ded in it.
Still undaunted, the engineers constructed
plant to wash out this mud. By the time that
was ready the tropical had baked the sur
face of it hard a rock.
But the engineers did not trouble. They had
been worried while draining the lake by the
number of heavy transforms.
''Wait until the next rainstorm comes" they
said
That was over two years ago, and there has
been no ranstorm over Lake Guatavita since.
The Indians say it is the work of "the Gold
en- One" still guarding his treasure. The en-
eineers are bewildered, and the lake is so high
up they cannot get adequate supply of water
TO it. All they want is one of the heavy storms,
of which they had scores in the four years they
we're at work drawing the lake.

girl and is not yet certain whether she cares for
him, the last timing he is likely to do is to at
tempt to kiss her against her will. Nor is he
likely to pay her extravagant compliments is
much more likely to be tongue-tied, realizing as
he does the possible consequence of rash speech.
The man who cares for girl treats her differ
emily from the rest If he has been accustomed
to bring flowers and candy to every girl he calls
upon, he brings her books instead. If she's mu-
sica, or has any special hobby he brings her
offerings along that line-he feels that flowers
and candy are miserably impersonal things
Unless he is ncorrgibIy talkative he doesn't
talk much if he is in love. He looks more than
he speaks. If girl discovers a man looking at
her continually and endeavoring to keep near her,
even if she is talking to someone else-she may
be more sure he cares for her than if he talked
to her for whole evening.
Of course he will be jealous. Not necessarily
Jealous in the sense of sulking if she speaks to
another man, but jealous if he thinks she likes
the other more. This explains why many man,
insanely jealous before being engaged, becomes a
model of reasonableness afterwards. Before she
is engaged to him he is uncertain of how she feels
towards him; afterwards, he. is practically certain
and can afford to trust her.
He is careful to be courteous to her family
Most men are anxious to live at peace with their
wife's relations, and are willing to put themselves
to little trouble in order to gain favor with "he1
family"
When man really cares for woman he will
tell her his troubles, His epigrams-hs good
stories-he will keep for 'the rest"-but the WON
an who has his heart will be the one to whom he
turns for sympathy.
He will never, never adopt the platonic role
and treat her like another fellow" He may ad
mire the girl who is a good chap" at golf, and
when camping out or watching ball game, but
he seldom falls in love with her. and Il he doe
he idealizes her into the old-fashioned queenly
woman who balanced herself with apparent en-
joyment on her pedestal
And, last, but not least Notwithstanding al
the theories of modern novel-if a man really
loves a woman be succeeds in telling her 50.

mouth of South African millionaire water.
They threw into the lake at each of these
ceremonies enormous amount of gold and
precious stones.
The following account of one of these offer
ings, given by one of the descendants of the
Chibchas, reads more like a gorgeous romance
than reality, but it must be remembered that
the discoveries since made by Europeans to
some extent at least confirm the truth of this
strange legend
"A the people," says the narrator, "march-
ing in solemn procession with music and ban
ners flying, assembled from the various towns
and villages round the shores of the lake
Presently, after silence. they made a great
outcry, for there, in litter on the top of one
of the surrounding hills, they saw a golden man
gttering in the sunlight. This was their king
who had first been bathed in kind of turpen-
tine and then covered with powdered gold He
came slowly down the hill, and embarked on a
great barge. At his feet was pile of gold and
another of emeralds. He was slowly rowed to
the centre of the lake, four barges bearing
priests surrouning the Kings vessel. Then bra
ziers were lighted the barges, and great
bonfire on the shore. The assembled people
cried out to their deity, while drums and pipes

though the Golden One" were indeed guard
ing his own, although the naccessibility of the
lake may have had something to do with its
having been able to defy the attempts of the
treasure-seekers.
1t is situated in the midst of the wild peaks
of the Cordilleras. There is no railway near,
and the roads are little better than mule tracks.
Travelling here is nearly as difficult as it was
in the days when Amyas Leigh during that
journey made famous in the pages of West
ward Ho!' roamed through the country in
search of the golden city. Captain Charles
Cochran, R. n. who visited Guatavita in 1928,
spoke of these difficulties. and estimated the
value of the treasure at over billion dollars.
The imagination reels in the attempt to realize
what such an enormous sum means But it is dit-
fisult to see how the gallant captain arrived at
such an estimate; and more recent visitors have
contented themselves with the comparatively
