Robert Nesrnith Scoffs At
Pirate Treasure Tales
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) You, too,
can dig for pirate treasure.
But before you start out, heed
the words of Robert I. Ne
srnith, who has been digging
around the subject for years:
"Most of the treasure hunt
ers who come to me are long
on stories and short on treas
ure."
He says that accurate maps
and information about lost
treasure are non-existent "If
they did exist, the treasure
wouldn't be lost."
And as for pirates, there
are two schools of thought
about what they did with

Used Motor Vehicles
To Go Up For Sale
Salem (IP The State De
partment of Finance and Ad
ministratiorr said Saturday a
used motor vehicle sale would
be held here April 25 at the
state fairgrounds.
Forty-seven 'used state
owned vehicles will be sold
to the public by oral auction.
They include 39 passenger
cars and eight trucks from
1947 to 1957 models.
Successful bidders deposit
10 per cent of their total bid
immediately and complete
payment by May 1, 1958.
their money: (1) Buried it. (2)
Took it ashore and spent it
on wine, women and song.
Nesmith inclines to the sec
ond. "I think most of them spent
it," he says. "I question
whether pirates buried their
gold. It seems to me that any
pirate silly enough to bury his
money would have been keel
hauled by the crew.
Finds Are Many
"I have never found in 35
years one single case where
it could be proved that any
treasure was dug up on a
beach in a pirate chest that
was buried by a pirate. That
doesn't mean that there's no
buried treasure. Plenty has
been found. It's being recover
ed regularly now with modern
equipment, such as 'M-scopes'
metal detectors."
Nesmith says a few treasure
hunters have been successful
in a big way "and those are
the ones who are written up
in the books." H has gathered
several of these stories of re
covery of treasure Into a
book, "Dig for Pirate Treas
ure," to be published next
month.
Some of the most heavily
financed treasure hunting ex
peditions have found nothing
and some of the lucky find
ers have just stumbled on it.
Small boys, poking and dig
ging around, have been mark
edly, sucessful. Skin divers in
Florida bark their shins on
galleons.
Common in Mexico
The burying of money has
been done mostly, Nesmith
feels, by people in fear of pi
rates and robbers, before the
days of banks.
"Mexico is literally sitting
on buried treasure mililons
of dollars in hard money that
they began coining money in
went out of circulation. People
have buried it. In Mexico City,
thtey began coining money in
1536, more than 200 years be
fore this country was found
ed, and chances are there's
more money underground
there than in any other coun
try. "It comes up all the time
in digging of cellars, knock
ing down of old adobe houses.
You can figure what takes
place: the workmen and every
body grab what they can and
run in all directions."
A person who finds gold to
day, he says, is afraid of two
things, the tax collector and
the possibility that somebody
will take it away from him.
Anyone finding treasure may
discover that it is worth more
to museums and collectors
than the metal's sale worth. '
Publicity Hunts
"Lots of hunting expedi
tions," Nesmith says, "have
beenv ruined by publicity.
Why? Because people will
move in on you. A friend of
mine was working on finding
what he thought might be
Billy Bowlegs Rogers' treasure
in Florida, doing a serious job,
and it got in the paper. Next
Sunday, the whole territory
was clogged with people."
Women, Nesmith says,
aren't buried treasure hunters:
"Chasing rainbows is a man's
avocation. The women just
wait for them to find it."
300 Million Dollar
Biennial Budget,
i
State Prediction
Klamath Falls (IP) Pre
dictions of a 300-million-dol-lar
biennial budget for Ore
gon in 1959 were expressed
here Friday at a meeting of
the Legislative Tax Study In
terim committee. ,
S. W. Horn, chairman of
the state tax commission, said
a budget of that size would
mean a state deficit in the
general fund of 529,400,000
by June 30, 1961. The current
biennial budget is 272 million
dollars.
To wipe out the predicted
deficit, Horn declared, the
legislature would have to in
crease income tax rates an av
erage 21.2 per cent over pres
ent rates.
Horn emphasized, however,
that the tax commission esti
mates could not be considered
a firm forecast. They were
based on an assumption of
economic conditions at the
same level as August, 1957.
State Sen. Rudie Wilhelm
Jr. (R-Portland) requested the
tax commission staff to pre
pare tables showing the effect
of revenue from a three per
cent sales tax, with food ex
empt, to be distributed to
school districts under the
basic school fund formula.
Rep. Clarence Barton (D-Co
quille), vice chairman of the
committee, asked the tax staff
to prepare similar tables
showing effects of a two per
cent tax. Barton has been op
posed to any kind of a sales
tax in Oregon.

Stops Constipation
Due to "Aging Colon"
New laxative discovery re-creates 3 essentials
for normal regularity.
As you grow older, the internal mus
cles of your colon wall also age, lose
the strength that propels waste from
the body. Stagnant bowel contents be
come so dry and shrunken that they
fail to stimulate the urge to purge.
Relief, doctors say, lies in a new
laxative principle. Old-style bulks and
moisteners may create gas, take 3 or
4 days for relief. Old-style salts and
drugs cramp and gripe the entire
system. Of all laxatives, only new
Colonaid gives you its special 3-way
relief that works only on the lower
colon (area of constipation).
(1) Colonaid moisturizes dry,
hardened waste for easy passage with
out pain or strain. (2) Colonaid's
unequalled rebulking action helps re
tone flabby colon muscles. (3) And
.Colonaid acts gently, on the nerve
reflexes that stimulate the vital "mast
movement" of your lower colon.
Colonaid relieves even chronic
constipation overnight; is so gentle it
was hospital proved safe even for
women in critical stages of pregnancy.
And Colonaid won't interfere with
absorption of vitamins or other food
nutrients. Get Colonaid, today!
