Seeking a Buried Treasure

That there is a large amount of
hidden treasure buried somewhere
on the Isaac Watson ranch near Alto.
in Columbia county. is evidenced by
statement of r. r. Barker this
afternoon. when he stated that Isaac
Watson had been seen to dig up a
canful of gold there.
Isaac Watson was for many years a
rancher at Alto. owning about 500
acres of land. He died suddenly last
June. The deepest mystery has sur
rounded the past life of the man, be-
fore he became known in this part
of the country. He had no known
relatives, and It was practically inn
possible to verify positively just
where the man came from. He has
lived for many years on his ranch
at Alto.
Among other mysterious phases of
the life OF Watson was the manner
in which he kept his money. AL
as a farmer, he had very little money
deposited in the banks. He was a
man that spent little money, and al
though he was comfortably settled
on his ranch, he was not living in a
manner that would necessitate the
spending of his vast income.
Still, when he died he had practi-
cally nothing outside of what was in
sight on his ranch.-Walla Walla

.PENDLE7ON CITIZEN PLEADS FOR BOYS

ficers make this statement: 1.-THE
boy almost invariably starts down
ward with cigarettes; in almost
every case of delinquency the youth
full offender had acquired the tobac-
co habit at an early age" Aside from
the physical injury to the growing
body and brain, the moral injury was
even greater.
To begin, the boy in the first place
learns the manly CD art Of smoking
and finds that he has been able to
deceive his parents to smoke as often
as he desires without their being
aware of It, so he argues: Il can also
do other Sporty stunts" or evade the
law, having been able to deceive so
successfully"
Look any night at the lineup on
the curbing as the audience comes out
of the Oregon theater. Notice the
pale faces and count the boys each
with a cigarette, pipe or cigar and the
pitiful swager, and count the boys not
under 81, but under H.
Portland arrests all minors who
smoke cigarettes; whole states have
abolished them. How about the man
ESQ called who allows young boys to
loaf and smoke in their places?
Some man is to blame for every
boy who goes wrong and the Juvenile
court should see to the enforcement
of the laws made to protect our boys

from "men" of this calibre.

Go through the pool and billiard
parlors, bowling alleys, places where
tobacco is sold and boys are allow
ed to congregate to smoke and swear
any evening and see what you will
see and hear.
The saloon is not the only and most
deadly pitfall for the boys. I recently
saw a boy not over years old
smoking on the bridge. Two men
passed and laughed amusedly to see
how the poor baby handled his
Smoke" like a veteran how the lit
tie fellow swelled with pride to be
so noticed.
The child only tried to initiate
mems vices and examples that we're
set before him. The saloon is not the
starting place for boys; 1t begins on
the street.
Stamp out the cigarettes. Make 1t
a mlsdemeanor for a boy to smoke
under age. Look after the poor little
fellows who are fastening this baneful
habit upon themselves. Stop 1t and
you will find very little II any crime
among the boys, as has been proven
in other towns and cities and It is
high time Pendleton got into line to
look after and take care of her boys.
