RECALL IS THREATENED
Governor West has moved in
upon Portland with the avowed
purpose to give that city a clean-ing-up
process and to make it
morally sanitary. From reports
that came out from time to time
there is no doubt but that that
city needs a moral wave of
cleansing influence, and if the
governor makes a success of his
undertaking he will give him
self a name that will long he re
membered and honored by all
admirers of clean government.
However, he will receive the
censure of those whom he op
poses and already the whiskey
interests are up in arms and
threatening to invoke the recall
measure to counter his move
ment against the forces of vice
and immorality. However, the
recall threat is not likely to have
any deterring effect on Governor
West, and if the time comes
when the friends of vice and im
morality are able to dispose of
those who oppose them in clean
government, it will be time for
the righteous to move out that
judgment may overtake the evil
doers, for where evil pnly exist:;
the fruit soon matures.
Tom Marshall's Definition of a
Democrat.
"Old-fashioned constitutional
democrats are they who believe
that the equality of mankind
does not consist in an equality
whereby every man, native and
foreign born, has an inalienable
right to exercise all of his ability
in getting on in the world just
so that he gets on honestly, and
that he does not prevent any
other man from obtaining the
reward of his honesty and enter
prise. .
"These old-fashioned demo
crats believe in making money,
but they believe that every
dollar made should be so clean
that an infant may cut its teeth
upon it. And they hold that it
is no part of government to
boost one man and boot anoth
er."
Californiaus are petitioning
for the recall of Governor John
son. The principal complaint
alleged is that Taft supporters,
through the manipulations of
Johnson, will have no electors
to vote for. It seems that Gov
ernor Johnson took advantage of
the occasion to put the Taft
voters at a disadvantage, hence
this treatment for his sharp prac
tice. From a natural view point
one would concede the regular
electors to Taft, he being the
regular republican nominee of
the Chicago convention, but it
was arranged other-ways in
California.
ready for business by September
10, is the prediction made by Mr.
Mclntire. The superstructure it
self is practically finished and
only a small amount of work re
mains to be done on the roof,
completion of which has been
delayed by the non-arrival of
roofing materials. Work of setting
the boiler which will furnish j
steam for the plant is now under j
way. The boiler house will be j
located at the north end of the j
main building. The motive power j
employed at the plant will be j
electric, and the boiler is used j
solely to furnish steam, which is
used in the cleansing and packing .
operations and for processing the

Tale of Buried Treasure.
Last week. R. M. Smith set
workmen at the task of raising
and putting in order one of his
old buildings on Main street in
order to fit it up for the reception
of J. A. Sturkin's Furniture Man
ufacturing business, and on tear
ing up the floor in the old struct
ure there were signs of some one
having burrowed their way under
several of the sleepers and at a
certain point having dug into the
earth for about 18 inches, throw
ing the dirt in different directions
so as to get it away from the
place where they had been delv
ing into the earth.
This again brought out the
story of the death of Thomas G.
Fuqua who once occupied the
building and died there. Mr.
Fuqua lived alone there and it
was known that he had some
$4,000 when he came to Mon
mouth and he told parties here
that he had made more than a
living while here, but when he
died, the money found on his
person and in his .trunk, and a
package which he designated as
placed in his bed for safe keep
ing, only amounted to about
$2,000, so that there remains
about $2,000 yet to be accounted
for.
About two years ago there was
an occupant in the old building
to whom the story of the un
accounted for treasure was told
and some time afterward this
man was seen coming out of a
manhole in the floor of the part
that had been used for a wood
shed, and as traces of burrowing
under the sleepers show from
the place where the hole in the
floor is situated to the place where
the digging has been done, it is
thought that this person had
studied out the situation while
occupying the front room and
that he had burrowed under until
he came to the place that had at
tracted his attention and dug the
hole into the earth.
Whether anything was found
or not is merely a matter of con
jecture, but the party supposed
to have done the searching, after
a few month's residence here,
left to take up residence in Portland.

plant of the J. K. Armsby com
