HIDDEN TREASURE.
An Ancient Church That Is Said to
Guard a Precious Secret.

An Ancient Church That Is Said tc
Guard a Precious Secret.
A small building popularly known as
"The Church of Hidden Treasure
stands in the little town of Barelas,
N. M. During the Mexican war many
of the richest families in the neighbor-
hood hid their gold and valuables In
all sorts Of curious places.
Senor Sandoval, very rich landown-
er, chose the thick walls of the village
church as his treasure vault, accord
ing to a writer in the Wide World, and
tradition says that the precious hoard
has never been removed.
Only few years ago several groups
of men, armed with pickaxes, crowbars
and other implements, besieged the
place in search Of the fabulous wealth
said to be concealed somewhere on the
premises. The treasure is believed to
be contained in large wooden chest,
such as most Of the wealthy Mexicans
formerly possessed. 1t is claimed that
the box contained thousands of dollars
In gold, besides emeralds, diamonds
and pearls, set In pure native gold.
The Sandoval family, however, guard
the place most carefully, while they in
turn are jealousy watched to see that
they do not disturb the church prop
erty. Bold and daring plans are some
times laid, but nothing seems to come
of them, and the ancient building still
guards its precious secret.

CHEMICALS IN WOOD.
Why Timber Cut In Winter Is Better
Than That Cut In Summer.

Timber cut in spring and In summer
is not so durable as that cut in winter.
The durability depends not only upon
the greater or less density, but also
upon the presence of certain chemical
constituents in the wood
Thus large proportion Of resinous
matter increases the durability, while
the presence Of easily soluble carbohy-
drates diminishes it considerably.
During the growing season the wood
of trees contains sulphuric acid and
potassium, both of which are solvents
of carbohydrates, starch, resins and
gums They are known to soften also
the ligneous tissue to considerable
degree.
During the summer months the wood
of living trees contains eight times as
much sulphuric acid and five times as
much potassium as it does during the
winter months. The presence Of these
two chemical substances during the
growing season constitutes the chief
factor In dissolying the natural preserv
atiyes within the wood and in prepar-
ing the wood for the different kinds
Of wood destroying fungi. Scientific

CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE DONE
BY The STORM

The recent heavy rains have done
a great deal of damage to the agricul-
tural interests of the Willamette val
ley in fact the whole of Oregon and
Washington. Beginning, as they did,
in the middle of August, and lasting
for three weeks, a great deal Of grain
was damaged in the shock, as the
farmers do not cap the shocks, as is
the custom in the Eastern states. A
good deal OF grain was stacked, and
this will be saved in first-class condi-
tiOn, but the grain in the shock, es-
pecially the oats, will be of a very in
ferior quality. It is estimated that
at least 10 per cent Of the entire grain
crop of the valley has been damaged
or ruined
The damage to hops, so far is moi
heavy, although on the low lands and
in places where the vines are down
mold has set in. With the advent ol
clear weather, which now seems as
sured, picking will be rushed with all
possible haste. II cool, sunshiny
weather should prevail for the next
week large percentage Of the hoI
crop will have been harvested. Should
1t turn warm with foggy mornings
immense loss of hops will result, as
the louise multiplies rapidly under
such conditions.
About half of the crop is harvested
and of the remaining half It is thought
that at least half of it will be saved
making three-fourths Of the entire
crop saved.
In the fruit belt little damage has
so far been done Some claim that
slight damage has been done to the
prune crop, while others believe thai
little damage has resulted SO far. The
general belief among apple growers il
that the apple crop will be benefited
by the recent rains.
