10 TTTE MORXiyG OREGOXTAN, SATTJRDAT, rAHCTI T, 1909. MILWAUKIE LOOKS GRAPES, from their most health fulproperties, give ROYAL its active cind principal ingredient Treasure Trove Hunt Excites Citizens of Portland's Suburb. CONNETT HAS NEW CLEW FOR MOKE MONEY 1'inder of Original $3 20 0 Worth of Australian Xuggets Throws Safe guards Around His Property. Will "Prospect" In Vicinity. Alt the Milwaukle treasure trove has, rot yet been discovered and there Is some still waiting for the finder. It Is claimed that Richard Connett, the finder of the original box containing nearly J2000 worth of gold nuggets, has found still further clews that lead him to be lieve In the existence of another cache of the precious metal. The log In which the original 22 spikes that pointed to the gold, were driven Is a part of the log house of the old Australian pioneer. "Connett was a fool to tell of his find," said Pete Lee, hie neighbor, "for there Is some of It that he has not found yet. He has told me that he knows where to find it. too." T. R. A. Sellwood, the old Milwaukee resident, was shown the gold by Richard Connett. He pronounced it to be similar to that found In the California diggings and Sellwood Is said to be an authority. The gold Is said to be a light yellow, almost white, pointing to part of It being rilver, and this was a peculiarity of the Australian gold. At any rate, this bears out the story that the old Milwaukle pioneers are telling of the death of the old Anglo-Australian in his log cabin. It is certain that be was possessed of a greater fortune than J2000 as he men tioned larger sums. "SVtster Sellwood spoke to his father bout seeing the gold. "The tin. box was surrounded by the rotted remains of a wooden box," he said, "the nuggets were of a light color, and on my father's ad vice Connett took the gold to Portland to be assayed and then sent It to the California mint." "What if he did find a little "brass," "" said Mrs. Fleaner, who Is taking care of Mrs. Connett and her 3-day old little, baby girl. "I can't see how It Is anybody else's business. Connett found it on. his place and it belongs to him." Connett evidently believes in the exist ence of still further treasure, for he has carefully built over the spot where he found the gold a heavy, little, wooden shack, covering the spot for a few yards each way. The center of this shack measures exactly 22 feet from the spot in the log where the spikes were driven, end evidently Connett Intends to keep intruders away.- An ugly-looklng dog was close around! so that other would-be treasure seekers will not find the search a bed of roses. Connett was away yesterday in the woods, but the other lots in block one of the Quincy Addition seemed to be under going a rigorous preparation for next season's potato crop. Other logs, too. of the old Australian's cabin seemed to have a certain attraction for Milwaukle resi dents and the gold fever showed signs of toeing manifested in no uncertain manner. But with Connett's friends around they do not attempt to go nearer than the fence-line of the Connett property.

City Ixsing Money Toy Month-to-Slonth Plan Barbur Holds Tp March Warrant. Mayor Lane has called a special meet ing of the Executive Board for 10 o'clock this morning, at which the lighting situation and the Madison street bridge question will be dis cussed. He refused to divulge any in formation as to what solution to the city lighting there Is at hand, as did also President Josselyn, of the Port land Railway. Tjie-ht X- Trtwe, rnmna.. from which corporation the supply is iruittuiou. it is said mat some propo sition is to be disclosed at the special session that may solve the problem and bring about peace between the city and company. City Auditor Barbur has not yet signed the pay warrant for March elec tric lighting, owing to a doubt that exists in his mind as to the legality of the proceedings of the Executive Board. Me In nwaltino- a t-lty Attorney Kavanaugh on a ques tion as to whether the Auditor would be Justified in affixing his signature to the warrant: MV. Barbur's conten tion is tiiat the ordinance under which the lights are secured provides for pay- uitrui iii suvance ior a time sufficient only to give the Board opportunity to advertise for bids, in charter. Mr. Barbur doubts the legal ity of the whole procedure, as now being carried on by the Mayor and Executive Board, and will not sign the warrant until assured by Mr. Kavanaugh that it Is perfectly legal for him to do so. As matters now stand, the city is losing money and receiving no lamp extensions. Until the city enters into a contract, as provided by charter, the company will not make any extensions in the system, and hundreds . of arc lamps, which should have been In stalled months ago, are not available yet. In this manner, the suburban sec tion in particular, and the entire city in general, is losing by the temporary arrangement, to say nothing of thte loss entailed through the payment to the company of the higher figures demand ed for furnishing service from month to month. President .Josselyn has submitted a proposition to Mayor Lane and the Executive Board as to the Madison street bridge. He wants to have tha use of the structure for streetcar service, and is willing to make what repairs seem to be necessary to in sure the safety of it for such service. He wants it reopened long enough to carry traffic until the new span is in position. Previously the Executive Board ordered it closed and barricaded, and it is now a question as to whether it Is wise to reconsider that action and permit use of the bridge. FIRST PIANIST FOR YEAR Uievinno to Give Recital at He ills Theater Tuesday, March 16, Not since Teresa Carre no delighted, her big audlencea at the Heilig a year ago last month has there been a piano recital here by one of the world's greatest play ers, so the coming of Josef Lhevinne on March 16 Is welcomed with more than the usual acclaim. Lhevinne has not played on the Coast before, and already his house in Portland Is guaranteed, a large one from advance inquiries re ceived by his managers, Lois Steers Wynn Coman. For the Lhevinne concert more than the usual number of piano teachers are planning to take their big classes, and many out-of-town Inquiries have already been received. The dignity and simplicity of Lhevinne's manner carry a peculiar charm, and he rouses his audiences to the greatest pitch of enthusiasm by his rippling, singing tone. He has great tem perament and plays with expression and deep feeling. His recital at the Heilig Theater on Tuesday evening, March 16, is the last of the Lois Steers-Wynn Co man series of subscription affairs for this season. JOBBERS DISCUSS DECISION MERCHANTS MEE7T TO TALK OF SPOKANE RATE CASE. Portland Shippers Agree That Water Transportation Should Be Liberally Patronized. After discussing the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in tho Spokane rate case, 150 Portland Job bers at a meeting yesterday, reached the unanimous conclusion that the future of this. city as a commercial center depended in no small measure on the liberal pat ronage of water transportation. It was generally agreed that the effect of the decision in the Spokane rate case would not operate against Portland seriously. The prevailing opinion was that when the readjustment of rates was made, Portland and Spokane would occupy relatively tha same position they formerly occupied. Digesting the decision of the Commis sion, local Jobbers concluded that under the readjustment that will be necessary, the rates to Portland from the East will be cheaper than from the same points to Spokane, the difference In favor of Portland being due to water competition. For the same reason it was figured that distributive rates from this city would be lower than from Spokane, with the result that Portland will be able by rea son of water competition, to continue Its trade relations well back into the interior. Transportation by water In shipments both from the manufacturing centers of the East to Portland and from this city as a distributing center into the interior was strongly indorsed by the interested Jobbers attending the meeting.
