Fort Bent Dam.

A survey of the Fort Bent Ditch
Co. property made by the directors
this week reveals the fact that 2l0
feet of the dam on the north side and
one bulk heed are in good shape, thus
very materially reducing the estimat-
ed cost of replacing the dam. Now
that the river is down sufficient to
examine the work of the flood it re-
veals the astonishing fact that in
stead of washing under and gradually
pushing the sections of the dam out
the water came with such force that
the ~ inch oak piling with which the
dam was constructed and well braceG
a that were broken square off.

How It's Done.

Lamar people had a good chance
two weeks ago to see Just how the
celebrated writer. get their dope.
Nina Putnam Wilcox has been writ
ing about a trip by auto across the
country from New York to Las An
geles, and it is quite evident at least
rs far as this section is concerned
that Nina either went through on the
California Limited and got her dope
from some road guide or else par
took too freely of the home brew that
is manufactured in some of the can
yons She crossed so gayly. Leaving
Syracuse according to her story she
climbed at once up on top Of q high
plateau, then dived down into a deep
canyon and came out on paved road
that led through Lamar and was SO
smooth it seemed too good to last.
but did last all the way into La Junta.
Oh! Nina, Nina! If you would just
drop us line telling us where abouts
that canyon is located and just where
in il is to be found the location Of
the still from which you got that
wonderful dream promoter. we would
be your devoted booster for life.

SEEKING LOST TREASURY
Rich Loot, Gold and Precious
Stones Being Sought BY
Australian
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch1

Papeete, Tahiti, (Sociey Islands)
April >12.-1nterest has once more
been aroused in the treasure reputed
to be buried in the island of Pinaki,
one of the coral islands to the east
ward Of Tahiti, and new associa-
ton has been formed in Tahiti to
seek for the treasure. The story is
that during the confusion of a rev
olution in Peru some sixty or more
years ago a church was looted of a
stones by four men who succeeded
in getting it to the coast where they
buried it in a safe place; afterward
making their way to Panama.
Having secured schooner there
they returned to Peru, recovered the
treasure and sailed to the westward
intending to make Australia their
destination. The fact that they pos
sessed no papers presented an in
ing entrance to any port without rig
id investigation. So they determined
to bury the treasure on an uninhabi
ted island in the Paumotus until
such time as they could charter in
Sidney a schooner for some alleged
trading enterprise and, sailing with
proper papers, return to the island.
Sought Unfrequented Part of Coast
When afterwards in pursuance of
this plan, they reached the coast of
Australia they sought an unfrequent
ed part Of the coast, Scuttled their
schooner and coming ashore in the
guise of shipwrecked sailors, endeav-
ored to make their way to Sidney
overland. Two only by name, Killrain
and Brown arrived in Sidney: the
other two having been killed in a
fight with bush natives. Such is the
story Of the burial of the treasure.
The tale of the attempts for its
recovery begins in 1912 or 1913 when
one day on the streets of Sidney
man by the name of Thompson was
accosted by an elderly beggar seek
ing aims. On giving the man small
sum Thompson was surprised by the
request for his name and address,
which he carelessly gave and thought
no more about it.
. Confession of Old Beggar
Some time later he was sum-
moned to one OF the hospitals of the
city. There he discovered that the
one who had asked for him was the
beggar whom he had befriended some
time before. The old man told him
that he had sent for him to disclose
to him the resting place of great
treasure which he and three others
had buried on a lonely island many
years before; that they had fallen on
evil days and were never able to re-
turn to the island and that he, Kill
rain, being the only survivor of the
company and about to die, did not
wish the secret to perish with him.
Thus it was that Thompson came
into the knowledge Of the story and
of sailing directions to locate the is
land. Being convinced that the story
was founded on truth, he came to
Tahiti and having satisfied himself
that the island of Pinaki is the hid
ing place of the hidden treasure, has
spent eight years in search of it so
far without success. Lately, some
people in Tahiti have discovered
what they believe to be a new clue
and are preparing to At out an ex-
petition to go to the island.
