Lumber Market Improves

Loggers and lumbermen are again
having their inning. After a summer
in which there a less loss from forest
fires than for many years, the lumber
market is in better condition than for
a long time. Both rail and steam

are that the winter will be a good
one for the sawmill business.

ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER
Short Essay Evidently Written BY one
Familiar With This Species
Of Animal. ~

A philosopher is a man, and rarely
. woman, who. having nothing to do
and being glad Of 1t, puts in his time
explaining the reason that other peo-
pie should have for doing things.
Philosophers are not popular be-
cause. In the FIRST place, most mon
are too busy to listen to them, and
In the second place, they are satisfied
with their own reason for doing
things.
Nevertheless. philosophers are wont
to gravitate toward comfortable stoves
In corner groceries, where men Of
varying leisures straggle in and to-
wards comfortable chairs in universe
ties where helpless youth are COM
PEELED to listen as part of an awful
punishment called q curriculum.
Whenever philosopher becomes
famous. 1t always turns out that he IL
not q philosopher at all, but scien-
fist. Simon-pure philosophers never
give Information, because nothing less
than explaining the unknowable will
satisfy them. One philosopher will
never agree with another philosopher
II he can possibly help it.-Life.

This famous treasure was lost when
the British frigate Hesarar. pay ship
sent in for the British soldiers during
the revolutionary war, went down In
the East river. It will be easy to look
up the old Admiralty records and get
the full information that may lead to
the finding of the treasure.
The facts pertaining to. Hopper
Smiths horde are as follows: der
Hopper" was = very brutal and much
feared knight of the road on the west
shores of the Hudson from Nyack to
the Catskills and he robbed the
wealthy Dutch in an unmerciful man
ner. He had no opportunities for
spending his ill-gotten wealth and
boarded it somewhere. At last he was
captured and before his execution at
Newburg confided to a keeper who had
been kird to him that he had sacks of
gold and silver and jewels buried in a
spot on Storm King Mountain, Just
north of Cornwall-on- the Hudson, some
thirty-five miles north Of New York
City. No search has ever been made.

For years the winds battered and
the sun and rains rotted the ropes on
the walls of the rock till at last they
disappeared. So many lives were lost
in attempts to scale the rocks and re-
cover the treasure that law was
passed forbidding any one to make
the attempt without the necessary le-

The chest disappeared and its loss was
reported to General Haldimand at

to Carleton Island and returned in a
short time with heavy iron chest

about it. The superstitious French
fishermen, unchanged in a hundred
and fifty years, still await the return
OF the fierce pilot to claim his own.
The Rock Of Perez. named for the
adjacent fishing village, is one Of the
true natural wonders Of our continent.
When some convulsion Of nature rent
the coast this rock was split from the
nearby mountain and left standing, a
grim monument to the caprice Of the
gods Of sea and land. Several hun
dred feet high. with comparatively
nat top, its sides are beetling and one
side is about two hundred feet higher

and after the declaration Of peace he
became an out-and-out pirate. He
protected the French fishermen and
was generous with them. They. In
their turn, protected him as the Eng

At last he was hard pressed by the
English. and having in his service q
Micmac Indian who knew, 4 secret
trail to the supposedly inaccessible
Rock Of Perez, he collected all his
caches Of treasure in the maritime
provinces and brought them to Perez.
The Indian carried line to the top
of the rock and hauled up a block and
fall. Then two prisoners were hauled
up, and next Duval himself. Boats
containing the great treasure chests
stood by below.
The tradition is that they were a
day ano a moonlight night getting it
all up. Then the Indian was sent
down and Duval himself was lowered

"Gyp, the Blood" In North Dakota ~
Fargo.-Most Of the city officials In
North Dakota have received word from
District Attorney Whitman to be on
the lookout for Harry Horowitz, alias
"Gyp the Blood" one of the alleged
slayers of the late gambler. Herman

bling resorts during the last year and
the names of the owners of the prop
erty on which the resorts were con-
Quoted. Among the names mention
ed are those of many prominent in the
financial, religious and social life Of
the city.
The commissioner turned the lint
over to the district attorney, who will
use 1t as basis of the proposed John
Doe proceedings before Justice Cot
next month, by which it is expected
to expose police corruption. Another
list containing the names of owners Of
disorderly houses raided during the
same period-June /, 1911. to Aug. 1.
1912-is being prepared by Commits
sioner Waldo for the same purpose.
Prominent People Mentioned.
Among the names of the owners is

Becker's Trial Sept. II.
The trial of Police Lieut.. Charles
Becker on the charge of instigatiny
the murder of Rosenthal will be begun
on Sept. IL if the plans Of District At
torney Whitman do not 60 astray.
While John F. Mcintyre, Becker's
attorney, obtained for his client the
postponement of the date for pleading
to the indictment against him until
Sept. 3, the prosecutor said that the
delay would not interfere with his
original plans for bringing Becker to
trial the first Of the seven accused
of the murder.
The prosecutor plans to have Beck
er enter his plea before Justice Goff
and will then move that the trial be
set for Sept. IL.
Four new bank accounts Of Becker
were turned up by the investigators
Of the district attorney, and the off.
Gals Of the banks have been subpoe.
naed to bring the records of Becker's
deposits in the institutions to the dis.
trict attorneys Office.
In connection with the statement
of James March, a lawyer, that Beck.
er had made most of his money in
stock speculation, the district attor-
ney has obtained evidence indicating
that the most Becker ever made in
this manner was $1,000.
