Sealed Entrance
Before deserving the location, the
Spanish operators sealed thu cat ance
and effaced outward signs Of th"i II
Dor. They expected to return shortly.
But they never came back. for he N X.-
can rebels were victorious. The secret
Of the treasure-trove persisted with thu
priests and was buried among records
Of the early church.
At the time of the revolution against
President Diaz, when Americans were
unsafe in many parts of the country,
Davis, just out Of college, was in the
wilds of Nayarit. He took refuge with
an aged priest in the ancient church at
Compostella, who concealed him in
secret quarters of the crumbling mis-
sion. The priests confidej in Davis
some rare records of the mining opera
tons of the Spanish conquerers, among
them a description of the famous Gu
caracha Mine. but the exact location
was not stated.
Search for Mine
For years after this Davis searched
for the hidden mine. He failed to find
a trace, but he did discover near Yago
Navarit. a virgin property rich IN gol1
and silver. This was developed, but he
never lost interest in his original quest.
Months later Davis Glanced on an
old mine but a few hundred yards from
th~e.sproperty he was working. The
heavy tropical jungle had kept the
secret of the padres. Davis took men
and ropes and was the first to be low
cred into the ruins. He had scarcely
descended into the depths of the ancient
workings when he became aware that
the walls were alive with cockroaches.
His serach was then over, for he had
entered the famous storehouse OF
wealth of the Spanish padres.

OWNERS PAY DOCTOR TO SAVE CAT

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 20.-Blue Bell,
a Persian cat that saved the lives of six
persons in a fire, is recovering from
a surgical operation undertaken to save
her life.
The operation was ordered by Mr.. and
Ms. Carl V. Hall, owners of the cat, on
advices that in no other way could Blue
Bells life be prolonged.
"She saved the lives Of all the mem
bers of my family" said Mr. Hall, "and
I owe it to her to do everything possible
for her"
1t was on July 8 last that the cat
aroused Mrs. Hall by jumping on her
bed and scratching her into wakeful-
ness and the knowledge that the house
was on fire. Mrs. Hall awakened her
husband, and the four Hall children
were hustled out of the house less than
three minutes before it collapsed.

There was a notable gathering in
the great banquet hall of the Waldorf

In the great modern Babylon, the vast
and wealthy metropolis of a fertile
land. hundreds gathered who represent
ed every form of wealth and Opulence
ever envisiOned i'm the widest dreams
of n CrOesus or Midas. There were
gathered the members and connections
Of the houses of Belmont, Mellon, Nor
gan, Rockefeller, Whitney, Vanderbilt,
AstOr, and so on down the list. "A
thousand bright lamps shown DER that
high festival" They were gathered
Ostensibly for the purpose of hOnOring
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the
rail-splitter. In very fact they were
there for the purpose of drawing over
and around their myriad diamonds and
their coarse wealth the worn home
spun mantle of a man of the plain
people, Il backwOOdsman. patriot, a
man who had known what it was to
hunger and to suffer; who had been
reared in an environment Of poverty
and privation.
These men are the leaders of the
party that placed Lincoln in the Presi-
dents chair over u half a century ago.
Do you suppose that these present day
leaders would select man of LinCOlns
type, today, for the executive chair?
We are inclined to suspect they would

There are individuals who harbOr
the delusiOn that they are being funny
when they are really making them
selves look very foolish. To them
there is evidently no dividing line be-
tween comedy and buffOonery. What
is, to the intelligent mind, merely n
vulgar prank is, to their undevelOped
reasoning organs, the masterpiece Of Il
brilliant intellect. To bear out these
statements
Recently we received from a couple
of correspondents, duly signed, an arti-
cle announcing the marriage of two of
their neighbOrs. Their assertion was
untrue, a falsehOOd in spite of what
their intentions might have been. If
they proposed to embarass anyone they
undoubtedly were successful and should
receive their just deserts at the hands
of the offended ones. If they were at
tempting a harmless joke they were
very unfortunate in choosing the sub
iect and the manner of perpetrating it.
Let us take this occasion to inform
the public that 1t is Mt any time wei
come to make inquiries regarding the
source of any article which appears in
the star Herald. 1t is our desire to
make this paper absolutely reliable in
all its reports and anyone who serves
to hinder us in achieving this end is
considered unfriendly to our best in
.erests. Therefore we stand ready and
anxious to protect our friends from
these doltish prevarications.

To prevent upsetting business by
needless political upheaval does not
mean surrender to the mOney-brokers
or favoring them as the source Of in
dustry and prosperity. These brokers
have tampered with prosperity in the
past, on the strength of two delusions ::
they have persuaded the Government
that they were the fountain of ecOnO-
mic life; they had persuaded industry
also of the same thing. In the battle
between creative Industry and money
brokerage, Industry has won. Recent
Presidents have so clearly seen the
true state of affairs that II is expected,

Money for the supremacy, Government
will win. There is Il present confidence

There was a time when railroads
were linked to war in their destruc-
tion of human life, and there was
much of both agitation and legisla-
tion. But now, even when in an Occas-
ioual accident several persons are kill
ed, the public remains calm. The rea-
son for the change is that in these
times the railroads are minor Offend
ers compared with automobiles; while
the former slay only hundreds, the
latter slay thousands. In the past 30
years the largest number killed in
railroad accidents i'm year was 6lO,
the yearly average being hardly 300
