W. P .Huntington and the known fact that he had a short time before received for dis bursement from the federal gov ernment a large sum in gold set all kinds of rumors afloat, espe cially since It became certain that the money had not been deposited In the bank of Ladd A Bush, which had opened for business March 29 of that year; nor could It be found that any other bank had received the money on de posit. S V It became rumored that the money waa hidden about the Hun tlngtOL. house and in the few years that followed literally hun dreds of people searched for it, high . and low in the building, which was before long vacated and had no renters, because of the su perstition about the house being "haunted," and in the ground un der and around the building. "a S The deed records show that J. Huntington purchased 161 on July 9, lilt. l. W. Cart wright. his wife, for 11000, the descrip tion beginning at a point SC4 feet north of the northwest corner of block K3. Salem, and running thence north, east, south and west to the place of starting. Later platting identified that property as. lots T and;!, bloek 64, being near the northeast cor ner of Division and Front streets. and on the east side of Front street. That is how It apars now, W R. P. Earhart, who had been in the Indian service at the Grand Ronde agency, a great friend of Huntington, and afterward for over eight years secretary of state, mi nnai term ending January 10, 1SS7, was the administrator of the estate of the deceased super lntendent of Indian affairs. The residence property was on Janu ary IS, 187 S, sold by the admini strator to J. J. Murphy, for $700 That was a small sum considering tne original price of the land, and the improvements. J.. J. Murphy was for a long time clerk of the supreme court and was a large property holder in Salem and his estate la yet a large holder of such property. Tne junrpny neirs sola lot 1 on February g, 1.908, to Ida Mutha tor 11000. It now stands in the name of Wm. and Chaa. R. I wan. with a comfortable home on It, presumably built by the Murphyi, Lot 7 was told to Mrs. B. T. Swart on July tl. 19 IS, by the Murphy estate. That let contains the original Huntington home. It stands now as it was then, in good repair. Mrs. Swart Is the mother of Renska Swart, well known Sa lem business woman and writer, The old Huntington home Is the present Swart home. S The writer has in the past heard division of opinion concern ing this, with the claim that the present Iwan home next south is the one that the Huntington fam ily occupied. S But Chas. L. Parmenter, the well known contractor, was born September 18, 1859, in the bouse in which he and Mrs. Parmenter live, at 809 North Commercial street, and has lived there all his life, and the Huntington house Is ust back of hi. The Parmenter and Huntington homes had a com mon alley. Mr. Parmenter played as a boy with the Huntington boys. He cannot be mistaken about the Huntington house being the present Swart home, which Is at 73 8 North Front street "a S And Frank Haaa, who for about 68 years has lived in the Mrs. N. J. Haas home next north of the Judge L. H. McMahan home at 791 North Front street, was also playmate of the Huntington children. And he made many searches through the "haunted" house, in common with other boys of the neighborhood hunting for the last gold. S That is the story excepting the mysterious conclusion. The small price the Huntington home prop erty brought at the sale of 1878 was partly due to the great de pression of that year; a part of the aftermath of the Civil war and the greenback fight, that ended in the resumption of specie payments putting the country on the gold standard, from 1879, from which It has not departed. At that time it took ill in currener to bav a 910 gold piece, and the difference had been much greater, especially during the dark days of the great armed conflict. There are several versions of the story of the finding of the lost gold. R. P. Boise recalls that it was thought to be about 84000. Mr. Parmenter thinks it was more. He also recalls that it discovery was thought to be connected with Ted and Pidge spent the summer at the Riverside experimenting with the daily newspaper idea. They put in part of each day in the plant, spelling men on the rolls, furnaces and shears of the skelp mill, the blooming mill soaking pits and rolls, the converting mill metal yard; labor gangs. They were free lances, with carte blanche to move about as they saw fit, work wher ever It was safe, interview whom they pleased. lacn afternoon they labored m an office of the safety department. turning out their four pages of typewritten copy which was later distributed throughout the bulletin boards. Ted did most of the writ ing and editing; Pidge contributed humor, gossip and exercised his flair for headlines. The men approached the innova tion with a "what-the-hell-is-this stuff" attitude; but they came back every day to read again and find out that Big Fritz's woman was sick; that the reason Albert Mc Mahon was late was because he couldn't get his Ford started; that Lee Heisenberg got hell from his wife when be brought home a load of scrap instead of dishes ia his bucket; and that Davie Bahr, at sixty-three, was a papa again what a man. Each accident was reported care fully with full details explaining how It happened, why it happened and how it could have been avoided. Whea the summer had ended Ted was instructed by Eli Potter Scott to name two young men ia the office department to carry oa the work. It was to be given a trial of a year, covering the entire plant. after which the safety record of the The Va Safety Ive - - Letters from Statesman Readers bition; yet she always -votes for another man who believes Just "v1. ? ?ort0Am hw u tb1 ottar I bave to aay Tlltt-L.ini aBd the other boy diplomatically keeps quiet, .r " "Ed Howe through hl Atchison Globe made hi town known all ovepthe world.

Monmouth, Ore., Nov. , 1938 Oregon Statesman, as a suDscnoer to your paper 1 am going to as a you a Ques tion wnich I would like answered In your dally Statesman. As the times are hard and people, men, women and young men and women are wanting to excaange uetr iaoor tor room and board, can they, after being ooaraed and roomed for length of time (by the state law) collect wages tor their labor. Most any farmer could help some of those that are out of labour, bat there seems to bo an Impres sion that those they help aay turn and collect wages also tor their time, which the most of us are not able to pay. Thanking yon, A Subscriber. I The terms of tho agreement between tho two parties would bo blading. If the contract was for board and room ia return for Moor, no additional compensation could be demanded by either party i 1 in Riverside would be checked against other plants; decreased accidents saved mosey for the company. As i Judge Gary so often pointed out, the Steel Corporation was no elee mosynary Institution bat it would always treat its men as humanly as possible when it was good business to do so. Ted and Pidge came out of the mill with some of the properties of the steel they had handled. Pidge, particularly, had lost his contours and become a rugged young giant with one hundred and ninety pounds of tough stuff. "Wait till old Pap sees me," he cried expectaatly. "Wait till Barney sees you," Ted amended. "Looks like I'm all set to sur prise everybody," Fidge chuckled, "and the first one I surprised was myself." Barney wasn't feeling well He had spent the summer at coaching schools and came up to the season tired; had been bothered with pains here and there unfamiliar symp toms for Barney, who had never stopped driving himself. "Two bad seasons and they'd shoot me against the wall with the rest," he had said to friends who had tried to get him to ease up. Football coaching being the pre carious thing it was, Barney got the money while he could. The pain jumped from back to leg; he dragged it around the prac tice field with the aid of a stick; finally began coaching from a chair. When they tied the Old Man to a chair he was ia bad shape when he let them do it, things were even worse. "What you should do," Doctor Blake said, "is to go to bed and give the infection in your blood a chance to be cleaned out; give us a chance to find out where it's com ing from; stop the source, then a little rest and you'll be good as new." But I ve got these boys out here, Barney objected. I ve got to make a comeback this season. We're building a stadium and must play all our games away from home. We must have a good sea son or we can't pay for that ta dium next year when we open it. IH be all right this will go away." "If you don't take care of your self youH never see that stadium.' "Don't kid me now. Doc," Bar ney laughed. "Let Bob handle the team they'd have to get along without you if you weren't here, you know. Bob Walsh, the assistant coach, had been one ef Barney's boys years before; a bearty, aggressive, capable chap but not ready for the job alone. Doctor Blake went to the presi dent and the Athletic Board. "Forget football for awhile, kindly President Adams urged. "you must think of yourself and of your family now." "Ill be all right," Barney in sisted, "just a little embolism." The President was impressed. "Pay ao attention .to his medical terms," Doctor Blake advised. "He kaows just enough about medicine to hurt himself." Barney immediately gave him an argument and he stayed on. But he was on edge when the squad Journeyed to siloomlngtoav to open the season with Indiana. They had dressed at the hotel and? driven in buses to the stadium. very obviously a football team; but an officious student manager re fused to open the gate. "Fve got my orders not to open this gate for anybody," he insisted. Barney hobbled out of the bus. "Weren't they expecting us?" he asked. t- - That was Barney out on his feet but still fighting his own battles in his own way. He spoke plainly ia the dressing room. "I've been hobbling about on this leg; doctor's been after me to stay in bedt I may have to but I'm here today and I want yon to start off right. Get that spirit yon had at the Army last year this is f winning school; this is a New Do minion team." He cracked it out, eyes glaring; poured h into them; stiflened theit backs. "The country will be watching you today; they'll want to see ii rou have the stuff to come back. Win today and the rest will start worrying; lose today and they'll all prime their guns for you. "Now go on out there and start right. The man who watches a play turns in his suit I want to see leven fighters out there all the tune today eleven winners. I don t want you to go out there to die gamely. 'I'm sending you out there to fight to win." They won. Stone got away for a forty-two yard run for a score in the second period; in the third Pidge inter cepted a pass, brought it back to the seven-yard line and bucked it over. Still it was not a good team. It was nervous, uncertain; missing signals, missing blocks, afraid of it self. "We gained enough ground to make four touchdowns," Ted said in the dressing room. "Why didn't we get them then?" Stone asked sharply. "If you'd block once in a while we might," Pidge answered. "You can't block and be all-Am erican youve got to run to be ail-American," Pat added. Stone sneered. Barney hobbled in to see that the trunks were packed and the chatter ceased. On Monday he wasn't at the lecture. Bob Walsh reviewed the game and gave them the Navy of fense. "The trip used up the Old Man and the Doctor kept him ia bed. Hell try to be here tomorrow; meanwhile we've got to carry on and when I say we I mean all of us. I don't give a damn what you think of me or of each other off the field; but once in a suit you're going to work or get off the squad; and that goes for everybody. The Old Man is in a tough spot and if anybody don't want to help, let him get to hell out" Bob was renty he-man and wasted few pretty words. Barney was out Tuesday with his leg propped up on a chair, barking out instructions and criticism. Wednesday he didn't show . (To B Continued) tip of a woman who nursed Mr. Huntington la his last sickness. He recalls rumors that Hunting ton had delirium tremens, as he was a periodically heavy drinker. Charley Genteel liree in the basement of the Gideon Stols home at 575 Court street. Mrs. Leata Weetacott, not long deceas ed, daughter of Mr. Stols. who owned and occupied that home, took care of Charley, and the fam ily still takes care of him, for he is old now, and not capahle of do ing much work, though for two generations he waa a faithful la borer and gardener. Some years after the death of Huntington, and after Judge J. J. Murphy bought the Huntington property on Front street, a man came from somewhere or nowhere and rented the "haunted" house. And he- gave Charley Genteel a room and employed him about the premises. Charley remembers that the man called himself Myer, but he doea not recollect his given name, or that he ever heard one. S S . The renter one day disappeared supposedly with the money Frank Haas says that, some years ago, when his memory was better than it is now, Charley Genteel told him that he saw the money. and that the stranger counted it. and that it was $7000 in gold. Charley does not now remember how much it was, or was supposed to be. He thinks more than $4000 S It Is supposed that the renter found the money under the porch, evidences of digging there having been seen after his departure. It may be that the stranger had a "hunch," and some old residents thought the mysterious woman nurse gar him the "hunch." from words she overheard from the sick man in his delirium. Charley Genteel thinks the man was a German, and that likely he went back to Germany with the gold. Bat that is only n fancy. which he cannot now explain, if ho ever could. If any on now living can throw more light upon this old story, the Bits man would be pleased to hear about It, and publish It Card Series Opens A For St Paul Folks With Second 20th ST. PAUL, Nov. 8.
