HUNTING FOR HIDDEN GOLD
Search Began in California for $75,-
600 Said 30 Have Been Buried
BY Train Robbers

FRESON, Cal, Feb. 26-Search
has begun on the Jacob Nahl ranch,
six miles south of Dinuba, for gold
estimated at something near SIS, 900
supposed to have been hidden by the
robbers who dynamited a Southern
Pacific train at Cross creek several
years ago.
From San Francisco Nahl got an
offer of $4,000 for his small piece of
land, and, being suspicious, he re-
fused, in cipher, as was requested.
The sum was increased, but still he
refused. Then a man named Green
received letters offering him a large
sum if he could get control Of Nohl's
ranch.
A few days ago a settlement was
effected and work was begun, when
one of the workmen struck the end
of a wooden box badly decayed. The
discovery attracted a crowd of cur
ious persons, but they were restrain
ed by guards.

Waterviiie Orators Chosen

The preliminary oratoricaI con-
test to determine the contestant to
be sent from the Waterville to the
interstate high school meets at Pull
man and Seattle in May was held in
Waterville on Monday evening. There
were five contestants, Miss Edith
Matthews winning first place, and
Ray Canton, second The others
were Miss Ted Malt6ie, who made
a close run for second place, Miss
Grace Waters and Herbert Price.
The contest was held in the Car
penter G Maltbie hall and was very
well attended. All the speakers are
members of the Waterville High
School and the contest was a very
enthusiastic one.
w. Gale Matthews and James
Lewis came down from Waterville
on the boat yesterday and left this
morning for Colfax where they will
debate the Colfax High School team
on Friday evening. This debate is
one of the many being held all over
the state to determine the cham
pion high school team of the state.
Waterville and Colfax are pitted
against each other in the list as it is
being narrowed down. Waterville won
from the Wenatchee High School in
December and were given the deci-
sion over their next opponents, Dav-
export, owing to the Davenport team
defaulting in not debating at the
regular time and now Waterville is
aspiring for higher honors and has
possible show Of reaching the head
of the list.

various heads of departments.
THE work of construction is go

n. L. Train Wrecked Near Ellensburg

ELLENSBURG, Feb. 26.-East-
bound Northern Pacific passenger
train, No. 16, was badly wrecked
this morning about nine miles west
of this city in Yakima canyon, by
running on broken rail. The en-
gine, baggage, smoker and first two
ears and two day coaches were ditch
ed. The day coaches as they careen-
ed struck q rocky bluff and were
caved in. They are practical wrecks
The dining car was the only car that
did not leave the track, it being the
last car on the train.
While all passengers were more or
less shaken up and several injured.
none were so badly hurt that they
could not walk
A special relief train was sent
from here carrying physicians and
help. Passengers were transferred
to other cars and brought to- this
city and later were sent East on a
made-up passenger train.

Women Cannot Be Notaries


OLYMPIA, Feb. 26.-After the
senate had passed a bill making wo-
men eligible for appointments as no.
tary publics the fact has been discov-
cred that such an act will be uncon-
stitutional if the house should put it
on the statute books. The constitu-
tion of this state says all state Of
ficers shall be electors Until the
day dawns that women are permitted
to vote, they cannot hold Office
In the famous New York case the
court held unanimously that a notary
public is a state officer and the
wording of the gubernatorial COM
mission naming notary public
seems to indicate that the same view
would be taken by the Washington
court.

j. j. HILL INTERESTED IL FAIR
Says Alaska-Y Yukon-Pacific Exposi-
tion VIII BE Most Important
Ever Held i'm United States

SEATTLE, Feb. 26.-Godfrey
Chealander, special commissioner to
Minnesota for the A.-Y.-P. exposition
reports that he had an interview
with James ]. Hill, president of the
Great Northern, in which Mr.. Hill
expressed himself as being greatly
interested in the exposition of 1909.
Speaking of the Importance of the
exposition, Mr.. Hill said:
Il consider that the coming Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition will be
one of the most important ever held
in the United States from a CONNER
clal standpoint. The awakening of
the Pacific, and the tremendous
trade possibilities that will be conse-
quent upon a thorough exploitation
OF Alaska and the Yukon territory,
the Orient and all the countries bor-
dering upon the Pacific ocean with a
population of over nine hundred mil
lion, makes this exposition the best
and most attractive agency for bring
ing about closer trade relations be-
tween these countries and the United
States, that could well be devised.

SURVEY OF DEATH VALLEY
Government Experts Bring Out Some
New Facts in Regard to Des-
ert in California.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The
United States geological survey has
just completed line of spirit levels
through Death valley of California,
and much to the surprise of every
one familiar with that region has as
certained that the depth of that area
final computation Of the results have
not yet been made, but the prelimi-
nary figures give for the lowest point
a depth of 276 feet below sea level.
Bennetts Well, which is near this
point, is 266 feet below sea level.
These figures may he altered by two
or three feet when the final compu-
tations are made, but they are prob
ably not more than three feet in er-
ror The geological survey now has
elevation marks on the highest and
lowest points of DRY land in the Unit
ed States.
1t is a strange coincidence that
these two extremes are both in south
ern California and only 70 miles
arart, Mount Whitney is a foot or
two over 1850 feet above sea level,
while Death Valley, as above stated,
is 276 feet below. Before the Salton
Sink, also in southern California,
was flooded by the Colorado river.
it contained the lowest point of dry
land in the United States, spot 2S7
feet below sea level.
Previous estimates of the depth of
Death Valley based on barometer
readings, gave for the lowest point
figures varying from $50 to $50 feet
below sea level. The level line of
the geological survey is believed to
be the first accurate determination
OF elevations in that locality that has
ever been made.

while filled with pupils, and before
the firemen could reach the spot
many children had been smothered
to death.
The rescue was quick, but at 3

had been taken out alive, it is feared
that On the top floor there are, in adj
dition to the bodies taken out, twen-
ty more dead, including a teacher
1t is said that all the teachers ex-
cept Miss Maxwell saved themselves.
1t was due to Miss Maxwell's hero
ism in rushing up stairs to save the
younger pupils that she lost her life.
At $3.50 p. N. the nineteenth body
had been brought out. There were
$50 children in the schol when the
fire started.

GOVERNOR HUGHES TO BE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

NEW YORK, May 11.-Charles
Evans Hughes will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for prssi-
dent of the United States. President
Roosevelt will have fight on his
hands if he attempts to swing the
New York delegation for Taft at the
next national convention.
Hughes, single-handed. by appeals
to the people and refusal to be drawn
into political intrigues, has over
thrown the power of the New York
Republican organization in force
since the legislature met and today
he is the embarrassed leader of his
party in the state.
These three facts were developed
today at a most sensational meeting
of the Republican state committee
at which former Governor Benjamin
B. ODell, jr, offered resolution
pledging the support of the organiza-
ton 10 Hughes for the presidency
developed in spite of the fact that the
resolution was tabled by a vote of
80 to 4.
The arguments against the resolu-
ton were that. it was ill-timed. The
resolution followed the action of the
committee in endorsing the admins
tration of Governor Hughes and spe-
officially going on record as being in
favor of all the important reform
measures advocated by the governor
This alone was great triumph fol-
Hughes and was the result of trem-
endous pressure brought to bear up
on the politicians by the general pub
lie.
The mere fact that the resolution
was introduced, even though only
four committeeman went on record
as favoring it, is regarded as an event
of easily interpreted significance.
Just what hand Roosevelt had in
bringing the party men in line for
Hughes is a question of breat doubt.
The Republican senators decided to
hold a conference at which they
adopted a resolution promising to
support the governor.
1t ies become known that Hughes
has dec. IA secret oyertures of aid
traceable to the White House. But the
assistance came anyway
