and other Linn county towns, to buy
goods made in Albany, and the state !
of Oregon. I
The display of goods was pro-!
nounced by visitors to be a credit to !
the enterprise of Albany merchants j
and 'manufacturers, and, as a result
of the exposition, which was an "eye- j
opener," even to Albany residents, it j
it believed that the people of this com
munity will follow the slogan "Patron-1
be home Industry more than ever
before, and that efforts will be made
to secure more manufacturing plants

Coos county gold miner and rancher,
aged 70 years, and the man who knew
of the buried Mexican treasure near

floor of hs home on South Slough, four
bullets having found a billet in his
body. He had evidently been shot
through a rear glass door of his kitch
en, falling on the floor where tbe slay
er left him. The general belief is that
he was murdered by feome one who
tried to Bf-cure from hiin the location
of the buried treasure, the search for
which has already claimed a previous
murder victim.
In connection with the Kimmel case
which recently came up in St. Louis,
Evans stated that many years bko
Mexicans buried some treasure near

treasure referred to in St. Louis was
probably the same one in the search
for which Kimmel was killed.
