Although the afternoon was unfa

over an excellent team from Pearson

the star man for the visitors and
carried off more points than ar!7
other Individual competitor,
Jay, Pendleton's star man, would
have surpassed him In this particu

the low hurdle race was pulled off
while he was throwing the discus and

Of all races of people the Indian
tribe alone seem to be the rlshest In
traditional lore and most gifted with
that tendency to secretlveness so
characteristic In a superstitious race.
Many are the strange stories told by
the aborigines of Puget sound, and
some of these, It Is believed, are more
than mere tradition. Indeed, they
are not without credence by many at
the present time.
Years ago, when Seattle was a very
small place, and the stretch of land
called the Olympla Peninsula was al
most a wilderness, there lived on the
picturesque banks of the Elwha rlvei
an old Indian called Hunter Sam
He spoke very little English, and
the following tale which he told of
his experience In the Olympia moun
tains was, of-course, related In Chi
nook:
"It was one day In early October,"
said 'he, "and I started on a hunting
trip. The woods were very thick and
paths were few, but I followed the
course of the Elwha river to the base
of the mountains. I had hunted elk
and ueer many times and 1 knew the
way too well to get lost.
"This time I had traveled for many
miles and It was getting late. My feet
were sore' and I was tired and hun
gry. 'If I do not see game before I
curve yonder peak,' said I, 'I will rest
for the night.'
"But even as I went oh a black
cloud In the sky grew larger and hid
tho sun, and the rain began to pour
upon me. The branches of the trees
cast a deep shade over the whole for
est, and, almost before I knew it It
was dark. In the distance I could
hear the evil spirit of the mountain
hooting at me and I shivered from
fear.
Not far away I heard the rush of
the river and I started for the river
bank through the storm. At last I
crawled on my hands and knees, until,
suddenly I found myself In. a dry
place. I felt a rocky wall on . both
sides of me nnd I knew that I ffas
111 soino kind of a enve.
Glad to get shelter, I crawled -back
a little way, so as not to hear the
evil sounds of the night so plainly,
and then I felt myself falling. When
I awoke It was still dark and I was
lying on something hard. I felt sick
and could not at first think where I
was. Put suddenly ah, what was
that?
Through the darkne-g I saw some
thing glitter like the eyes of a fright
ened deer. I could not find my gun,
but I struck a match to see what was
there, and listen, I will tell you what
I saw. No deer, hut silver, yes, much
silver. I took out my knife and
scraped it. What I tell Is true, but
no white man could find that cave.
It is hidden by much brush and weeds
now, and I shall not tell the place.
There Is a steep bnnk Inside, and
and that is where I "fell from. Ah,
yes, it has been many years since I
found the bright silver near the banks
of the Elwah river. The Great Spirit
of the caves and mountains led me to
It, but he keeps it hidden from the
white man."
Old Hunter Sam has been dead long
since, and his secret lies with him
for no white man has yet found the
hidden cave of treasure. The silver
waters of the Elwha river still flows
placidly on and the mountain peaks
stand rugced, ns of yore; but the for
est hn wrapped Its protecting arms
around the unknown spot and time
alone will tell whether the story of
old Hunter S'am was a fact or mere
tradition.

Farmers living near Valley Grove,
this county, have signed contracts to
have their wheat handled in the new
farmers' warehouses and already over
UOO.OOO worth of the 1908 crop has
been pledged, says the Walla Walla
Bulletin. The farmers have organ
Iced a stock company to erect this
warehouse, and similar action has
been .taken at nine other points (n
this .county.
This move has been made because
of ihe monopoly of the Pacific Coast
Elevator company, which last fall
raised the price of handling grain 60
per cent.
Th prloe asked was 75 centa a ton
for storage which the farmers ob
jected te faying. The elevator com
pany claimed that the cost of labor
had increased so much recently that
they were compelled to raise the
price.
The farmers then demonstrated by
building a warehouse In Walla Walla
that grain could be stored for 40
cents a ton and still leave a comfort,
able profit.
The Farmers' Union offered to
buy the ompany warehouses, but too
much money was wanted for them.
and the farmers decided to build their
own warehouses, and at a recent
meeting 10 men were appointed In
various parts of the county to start
the movement
The first reports received are from
Valley Grove and there It Is said prac
tically every farmer has agreed to
store all his grain In the farmers'
warehouse.
Reports from 'other sections today
are that the farmers are enthusiasti
cally at work and that all the new
warehouses will be given ample sup
port to make them paying ventures.
While the farmers are getting their
grain stored at lower rates they will
also break the monopoly.
Owing to the fact that the Pacific
Coast Elevator company has had an
osoiute cinch on the grain It Is said
that arbitrary methods were adopted
nu tne farmers put to great Incon
venience. This, however, will be
changed.
