A A Waldo Hills Poet.
Editor Statesman: ;
"Another noet has burst Into song in

se being doubtful. Nevertheless, a
bright and shining light, whose metri
cal effervescence makfs the columns of
the Silverton Appeal froth like a
schooner of beer. It has been Reneraity
supposed, that the people of these nins,
having to stoop s much to clean their
boots. Were given to 'obtuseness of In
tellect; but' the g arbling of this bird of
song proves the falsity of the supposi
tion. We are all proud of this poet
who has launched upon rivers unnnown

RUSSIA'S GOLD HOARD
CZAR HAS FIVE MILLIONS PUT
AWAY, SAYS MR. M'CARTY.
War Fund an Official Told Him About.
I
It Has Bsen Accumulating for
Eighty YearsTo Secure Russian
Supremacy Through Money Power.
(From Wednesday's Statesman.)
Whenever an attempt Is made fa
foot up the known production of gedd
from what record are. available, it is
found that, after counting alfcoln and
bullion and including estimates of gold
used in various manufactures, there is
still missing somo five billion of. dol
lars worth of the yellow metal, an
amount equal to the present world s
supply of coin and: bullion. . .
Now.lt has been estimated that, ow-
tnir to the laws of different couninea
which put a tax on the product of goid
mining and the consequent manure ?i
mine owners to report their full prod
uct, together with other causes, fully
as much more gold Is In the world as
! at mlsing trom the reports of gold
production. The first five billions
mentioned is generally charged up to
loss by accident or abrasion, but where
is the second five biJllons of the world's
gold which has been produced, but not
reported on?
According to a well-known Russian
official, with whom the writer has act
ed In a confidential, capacity, the
worIds missing gold Is hidden away in
the coffers of Kussia's war' fund. anJ
her purpose in secreting this, wealth
is not that she may be prepared ' for
war, but that when she has control of
the;woTlds money she may. dictate
terms to all the nations of the earth.
"When the time is ripe," said s.
"there will some day come a financial
earthquake that wlllshake to th-tr
foundations ail . superstructures, sjvI
all nations. Industry . and commerces
MHi aii thit hve buen built upon crel-
lt. and every country lacking in nstura
foundations of the strongest will go to
the' wall, :. - . . ' -
"I know bat two countries strong
enough in resource to stand under It
Rusata. 'and the tTnited Htates. Russrta
will be ready for tt. lecause she has
billions of gold stored awy, and the
United IStates Is too young and vigor
ous to go down, even under the system
of credit established for purpose of
development - I
Thre are many who will doubtless
rlticuie this etatcrnet. or ' at .lenst
many, will doubt that Ruaeia'has such a
large secret war-fund, but the official
fpioted has stood for many years in
position which would informs him, of
ail finance plans of his . Government.
Indeed, he Is himself "the- grandson of
one of AlexarKlcr I.'s Ministers, and he
says that It was his grandfather who
formulate! the plan-which Russia has
been working on secretly for more than
three-quarters of a century. r ""
i It may seem strange that an Ameri
can should learn of these things, but
the writer enjfoyed the confidence of the
official to the fullest extent. ' The ac
quaintance began . some thirty yairs
u?o. w hen a Russian fleet brought the
Grand Duke Alexis ami many distin
guished officials on a Visit to this coun
try, and Tn recent years It has been
strengthened by a long period of resl
