WATCHES
"While digging on Frank Buseh's
property at First and Jefferson streets
late Friday afternoon, preparing to
put in a garden, James Dawson dug
up a golden coin of Asiatic origin
Two minutes later he turned up an
other one. Some mements later still
his shovel struck a hard substance,
and be unearthed a small brass statue,
apparently a Buddha. In the course
of a few minutes digging he unearthed
about a quart 'of brass coins, several
sets of hand-carved earings of Orient
' al design, some small Indian totem
poles, a number of other brass statues,
and enough carved black beads to
make a "rope" about six feet long.
Then he told somebody about it,
and in the course of the next half-hour
the neighborhood went treasure mad,
and by dusk there wasn't enough left
of the garden on the Busch property
to assess even under a single tax sys
tem. There was just a series of holes
in the ground and piles of dirt.
Stones Mark Cache. -
The treasure was found between
two smooth stones, oblong in shape,
and evidently finished by hand. The
stones wera standing upright under
the surface of the earth, and in a pile
between them was the greater part of
the find. Owing to the rush of people
living nearby to the place,. Mr. Busch
has been unable to recover all the ma
terial uncovered, but as nearly as can
- ba ascertained the treasure consisted
of the following:
A number of gold coins of the ap
proximate value of flO each.
Enough brass coins to fill to utmost
capacity a quart pail.
One or more pairs of hand-carved
earings, either of brass or gold. .
Several brass statuettes of exquisite
workmanship.
A number of miniature totem poles
of exceptionally fine carving, though
somewhat damaged by their stay in
the earth.

IS POUND IN RIVER
Governmant dredges, "while at work
jus: above the Clackamas rapids, in
the Willamette river. Friday brought
to the surfaca an old anchor that
measured twelve feet across the
points, and which had evidently been
used at soma time by an ocean-going
vessel of considerable slzo. -, The rust
pits in the mud-hook were so deep
that it is ltnwn the anchor is of great
age, and it is estimated that it must
have been imbedded in the river bot
tom many ysars ago.
No vessel carrying an anchor of this
kind is known ito have come up the
river this distance as long as the old
est inhabitants o? the-county can re-1
call, 'and considerable speculation Is
being indulged in as to how the graat
hook became lost ia the upper river.
One of tie .; most j lausible explana
tions so far offered is that the mud
hook "may have bslonged to some ves
sel in the service of the Hudson Bay
company," which ventured on an ex
ploring trip into this country when
the fur trading post was maintained
at Astoria.. ,The anchor is of ancient
make, apparently, and might has been
carried by such a. vessel.

CAMP
ELM?
WELL, HARDLY!
NO, Anxious Inquirer, the Chautau
qua is NOT a re'igious camp meeting.
The Chautauqua directors this year
can boast of almost every other possi
ble form of attraction, but are forced
to admit that t'iey haven't a camp
meeting, nor anything like it. Pam
ahasika, (whose picture is shown
above) and who with his troupe of
educated pets, is to be the children's
Jay attraction at the coming asssm-
Pamahasika
bly, why, Pamahasika never heard of
such a thing, and his trained parrots
would swear like troopers if they
thought they were to perform at a
camp meeting on the evening of July
8th.
Pamahasika and his pets are to ap
pear at Chautauqua the first day, as
a special attractions for the kids
young and old. With the assistance
of his trained pets, Pamahasika gives
a- wonderfully interesting perform
ance. His birds and dogs go through
most wonderful stunts and sieem en
dowed with human understanding.
This performance is one which can
not be duplicated on the American
continent. This entertainment is to
be purely a recreative attraction for
the patrons, and was given. a place on
the first day s program, that the busy
campers might be given an exhilara
tive treat after the arduous labors of
first day camp life.
So, anxious inquirer, feel perfectly
free to attend Chautauqua this year,
without any religious restrictions
whatever. There'll be plenty of things
to keep you busy, and it wont even be
necessary for you to attend the morn
ing Bible study classes, in charge of
Dr. Hinson of . the Portland White
Temple. Enjoy the music of the
ladies' band, stroll down to the ball
field each afternoon; take in the fire
works; hear the Sierra Quartette, the
Tyrolean Alpine Singers; take in
Baumgardt's travel talks; Walt Hoi
comb's "Horse Race;" listen to Col
onel Bain's masterly eloquence; enjoy
Frances Carter or Maude Willis; at
tend Dr. Gilbert's lectures on "Econ
omic Problems of Oregon." Do all
th;se t'lings, anxious inquirer, and you
will be conclusively convinced, once
and for all-that the Chautauqua and
the camp meeting ire not even fourth
cousins.

WILSON'S VISIT
WIffDSOR, Vt., June 27. Here as
well as at the Winston Churchill place
at Cornish everything is being put in
readiness for the arrival of President
Wilson and his . family, who arf; ex
pected late tomorrow or Sunday morn
ing. The president expects to remain
only a few days, but as soon as the
important work'.'of congress is dispos
ed of he will return to Cornish to
spend the remainder of the summer.
While the "summer white ' houses
will be located at Cornish the real, seat
of the . Executive department of the
government will be Windsor, on the
Vermont side of the Connecticut river
and the nearest railroad and tele
graph station to Cornish. The execu
tive offices will occupy quarters in
the Windsor postoffice building and
here will be the headquarters of the
numerous clerks, stenographers and
secret service men who will be in at
tendance on the president during the
summer.
To War on Illegal Clubs.
GALVESTON, Texas, June 27.

gambling, liquor selling or oter illegal
purposes will be put out of business,
if plans discussBd here today at a con
ference of executive officers of legiti
mate clubs are carried through. The
legislature will ba urged to enact a
law which will abolish the evil and
at the same time not be a hardship on
the legitimate clubs.
CHANGES IN PORTLAND MUNI
CIPAL SYSTEM MAY SOLVE
OREGON CITY PROBLEM
PRESENT MAINS COULD All BE USED
Search for Good Local Supply Likely
to Ltfad to Adoption of Moun
tain Current for Home
Service -
That Oregon City may solve i:s wa
ter5 troubles in the very near, future
by getting its, supply from the Port
land Bull Kun pipe-line is th9 hope of
many influential citizens who have
been qui it '.y looking into the matter
for sometime past, and who now be
lieve that they havs found a way by
which this "best water in the North
west" may be piped into town at a
minimum cost.
Two years ago this matter was tak
en up with the Portland water board,
but as that body was appointive, and
only held office until the end of May
or Rushlight'3 term, the members of
the board felt that they could not en
ter into a contract with Oregon City
for a period extending beyond their
term of office. With the adoption ot
the new charter, however, and the
abolishment of the water board, it is
believed that the incoming commis
sioners can enter into a contract for a
term of 50 years or more, and can
deliver water for Oregon' City's use
at any point on the pipe line, that may
be desired. The completion of a sec
ond pipe-line, doubling the supply of
water available, also helps along the
plan.
Citizens whose public-spiritedness
has moved them to go into the matter
have already had pr?liminary talks
with the incoming commissioners of
Portland, and believe that the matter
can be satisfactorily arranged. Until
the commissioners take office and get
formally organized, however, the mat
ter will not be'taken up officially. In
dications are that the scheme can be
carried out, and that the only expensa
entailed will be the building of a pipe
line from Oregon City to tap the Bull
Run line, and a nominal water charge
As the plan is at present, it is be
lieved that the'b3st place to tap the
Bull Run pipe line will be in the neigh
borhood of Gray's Crossing. At this
point the pipe line has an elevation of
about a hundred feet above the busi
ness portion of Oregon City. It is es
timated that a pipe line eight mi!es
long will be sufficient to carry the

Wilson brushed aside late today all
plans for a week's trip to Cornish, N.
H., the Summer' capital, to examine
immediately the tentative agreement
reached between Attorney-Genral Mc
Reynolds and the railroad" attorneys
for the dissolution of the Union Pa
cific merger to prevent, if possible,
the appointment of a receiver.
Unless a method of dismembering
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
ficic satisfactory to the judges of the
United States court for the eighth
circuit is submitted by July 1, the
United States supreme court has or
dered the dissolution of the merger
by government receivership.
