Boise, Idaho, May 4. A find of buried treasure from the antiquar ian's point of view, was made a day or two ago at the state house. It Is the discovery of a box of the first histories of Idaho ever printed the report Issued In 1884 by James Ii. Onderdonk, territorial controller. So far as known, It was the first effort to get up anything like a real history of the state, or territory as It was at that time. The book contains 150 pages written by a studious, careful hand, with facts of rare value on the earlier history of the state. It was near enough to the first gold stampede to be accurate. The work was printed by the A. L. Bancroft company of San Francisco. Some of the books were distributed at the time of their printing, but the work never gained a large circulation, be cause of its not being put where it could be secured. There are prob ably but very few copies in the Btate at tho present time. It has Deen known that there was a good supply of the books some where presumably about tho slate house and the curious Beekers after things strange have looked more than once for them. It was not Un til the last two days, however, that they wero located. Then Engineer Chambers, in carrying out eooto In vestigations under tho building, back of the boiler room the basement does not extend under the whole Imlldlng, but has a bank shelf where one has to crawl to get around under the floor found a cobwebbed box of books, which he brought to the light. He went to Treasurer Hastings, cus todian of the building, and asked what should be done with tho books. Mr. Hastings, who Is an antiquarian with an especial leaning toward the historical, had known of tho Onder donk history of the loss of the books, and Immediately guessed what the books were, even before seeing them. A copy brought to him showed that his guess had been correct, for the box was filled with the long lost vol umes. The books are to be distributed where they will do the most good. Copies are to be sent to the histor ical societies of all the western states, for exchange. Copies are to go to the Smithsonian Institute In Washington, and to tho historical societies all over the country. They will bo offered for exchango with pri vate collectors, who have something of value to offer, and whatever is re ceived in exchango from all sources will go to the Idaho State Historical society. Most of this work will be done by the same society. Treasurer Hastings Is as proud of this find, which is really of great his torical value, as any collector could be over the finding a rare gem of antiquity. LADY ESSEX GOOD MOTORIST Handles Her Big Auto Cleverly In the Streets of Nice. Nice, May 4. Lady Essex, who was Miss Adele Grant of New York, Is a most skillful chauffeuse. Here she drove her big motor car along the coraiche road every day, nego tiating Its corkscrew twists and dodging In and out between the elec tric omnibuses and other vehicles. She is now moving from Nice to Lon don. With her are her two children and her mother, Mrs. Beech Grant. JtlSS WAY HAS BEEN ILL llut Will Be Ablo To Leave About May 15. Miss Llllle Way, who won the Telegram contest and will go to the Jamestown exposition, has been ill. She overworked herself In making tho canvass and has been quite sick. She is now, however, recovering and will be able to make the trip. Miss Way expects to leave Myrtle Point May 15 and will start from Portland May 20. A HISTORY OP DINGER HERMANN. Since the acquittal of Blnger Her mann, In fact during all his trial, there has been much Interest mani fested in the case throughout this lo cality, owing to tho fact that Coos county claims Mr. Hermann as one of her men. While he was not a na tive of Oregon he began his career In this county. M. G. Pohl, one of the old settlers who Is well informed on the early life of the county, has been a strong de fender of Mr. Hermann, and has strongly resented some of the state ments which were made about Mr Hermann In the public press as being misrepresentations of facts. Mr. Pohl Bubmits a brief history of Mr. Hermann In correction of some of the statements which have been made. The history Is as follows: Blnger Herman came to Port Or ford In 1859, not 1879. He began teaching school as first teacher In the Coqullle river school district No. 1, extending from the mouth of the Co qullle river to Hermann's place. He took up the study of law under his father, Dr. Hermann, in 1861. To make a speaker out of him, the old doctor would take up one side of an. argument, Blnger the reverse. Thus It came about that Blnger became a republican in politics, as the old doc tor was a democrat. In these de bates also Blnger learned to control his temper. Many a time he gained advantages over the old gentleman, who then became rather hard " on Blnger. At the beginning of the civil war, In consequence of his oratorical training, he raised the first volunteer company In Roseburg, Lincoln mak ing him a captain of the company. He did not follow this company, but began the forming of a second, for which General Grant, who was then president, appointed him receiver of the land office in Roseburg. Not dis honesty, but political changes, forced him from this position. He it was who during his term as commissioner of the general land of fice In Washington, reorganized the laws concerning this office, which so far were in a state of chaos. Verily this man has done more good for Coos and Curry counties than most of the others have done all put together. MARINE NEWS LEAVE ON BREAKWATER.
