this village, before II ~ IS into the
possession of Mrs. Louis Handbook, of
Omaha, Neb., who, II is claimed, has
already left for the South Sea island
to establish her claim to the estate.

centuries ago, is finding new claim

Mrs. Nolte, wife OF a prosperous
rancher here, declares that she has
equal claims with Mrs. Handbook to
the island, with it's great groves of

palms, coral reefs cleaning pink
along the shores, and plantations of
sugar and rubber trees, all within the
princely domain.

possibly sailed as far North as
the Oregon boundary. In 1873
Sir Francis Drake explored for
England the coast considerably
north of this. Other Spaniards
made further explorations and
Captain Cook, the English navi-
gator, In 1888 landed at NOOtka
Sound and gave 1t its name.
Thus both Spain and England
laid claim to this region.
The American rights to this
territory were based on the dis
covery Of the Columbia river In
1902 by Captain Robert Gray,
who sailed from Boston in the
ship Columbia to open W fur
trade. Many American fur
traders followed and In 1871
John Jacob Aston, the head OF
the Pacific Fur company, estab-
llshed a settlement called Aston
ia at the mouth of'the Columbia.
The real opening of the North
west was the result of the fam
Gus Lewis and Clark expedl-
ton.
BY 1913 a decided flow Of
emigrants from the East trav-
elled over the Oregon Trail from
Kansas City TO the Columbia
river, and thus into Oregon. The
trip over this route occupied
about three months and the set
tiers generally travelled in large
parties TO withstand any pos
sible attacks from Indians.
American settlers became so
numerous that the United States
actively laid claim to this re-
glon. Spain had been forced TO
withdraw any rights she may
have had when Florida was
ceded In 1919. This left Eng
! land and America Quarrelling
over this section Of the country.

Conceal Riches and Flee.

According to the romantic story
handed down from generation to gea-
Grafton in this region, Spanish for
tune hunters, harrassed by savage In
dams. after the former had secured
large quantities of gold and silver by
placing mining operations in the
mountain streams, concealed their
riches In the heart OF Treasure Peak
and fled.
Numerous unsuccessful attempts
have been made TO locate the hidden
fortune, but Lee and Barker now be-
leive that the mine-shaft leading to
the cache used by the Spaniards has
been discovered.
AT the bottom OF this shaft, - Lee
said. 1--WE found stone tablet which
gave a complete description of the To-
cation of the treasure. The desorip-
ton is in Spanish and states that
three tunnels and two walls must be
pierced before the Treasure is found
1t gives the distance of each of the
tunnels and the thickness of the
walls. In addition, ii asserts that a
bottle containing further descriptions
of the location, will be found at the
base OF one of the walls.

1.-The tablet places the amount of
the treasure secreted at 1916 bars. IL
does not say whether they are gold
or silver but we believe they repre-
sent both of these valuable metals.
The size OF the bars is also given.

nal location, which was given as

THE tablet also mentions some
death-traps in the shaft and we are
using. every precaution in digging
for the treasure. We have already

ing was revealed that would indicate
the exact location OF the treasure
However. the bottle mentioned in the
description on the tablet is not sup
posed to be at the base of the wall a,
the end OF the first tunnel, but is
believed to be at the base of the wall
at the end Of the second tunnel.
1--WE are progressing rapidly and
expect to spend two months reaching
the location mentioned in the tablet
We are confident that one of the
greatest hidden treasures in the world
is screened in Treasure Peak, and the
finding of the tablet in the shaft con
vinces us that we are on the right
traek."

LIFTS CO.," SOLDIER SLOGAN
Expert Declares the Phrase, So Popu- lar With the Troops, Did Much
 to Keep Up Morale.

The most inspiring and, at the same time. the most popular slogan used by our troops during the World war is embraced in the unpretentious words Lets Go," in the judgment of Col. Edward l.. Munson, chief of the morale branch, general staff of the army. Colonel Munson said:
 My conviction on this subject-a subject that is of real importance to students of military morale-is based on the almost unanimous verdict of those who served with troops. re-en- forced by the judgment of many who have looked at the question from oth- CT angles. The appeal Let's Go com- pines all the necessary psychological elements Of a military slogan.
 "rhe slogan contains no word of command no stern admonition, it does not impose Itself upon the will of the bearer II calls rather for eompanion- ship. for voluntary action and contri- button or the part of the soldier, for a eoHcertes movement prompted by mutual desire.
 My analysis may pot be a correct one. but, correct or not, am certain that Let's Go was used spontaneous ly under all circumstances and always with all encouraging response.
