WHY NOT?
It' Rampart citizens mutt lie taxed to
the utmost anyhow, why not take steps
to incorporate the town and keep some
of the money at heme?
Ohena started in the new year with
$12,000 in tlie treasury every cent of
which would have been lost to the com
munity if Chena had not incorporated.
It would appear that the camp has
•everything to gain and nothing to lose
by incorporation. Will residents think
the matter over?

TREASURE FOUND
NEAR OTTAWA, CANADA
Horace' W. Boucher has received a
clipping from the Ottawa Press telling
of a lucky find of money made near his
old home. The village of March is four
teen miles from Ottawa. Says the clip
ping:
We are in receipt of the following
report of a find of hidden money in
March, which no doubt has recently
“leaked” out, and we give it to our
readers just as our correspondent gives
it to us:
“There is an old saying that ‘the early
bird catches the worm,’ but the late
one gets it this time. About twelve
months ago one of our highly respected
residents, who is noted for his hard
work and industry, was caring for the
comfort of his livestock in the way of
providing comfortable quarters for them
by banking up his outbuildings to keep
out .lack Frost, late in the evening when
the stars were twinkling, and thinking
it would be the last opportunity he
would have to use the spade and shovel
for that season, as the north wind was
very keen. After completing his work
oil the outbu'ldings he thought of a sec
ond house on the farm that would need
banking for the winter, although not
occupied at the time, thinking some one
might drop along and rent it before
spring, be would secure the cellar and
make it frost proof While finishing up
his work at the northwest corner of the i
buihling where there had formerly Ireen
a kitchen or woodshed his spade turned
up a wooden box about 10 inches long
by four inches deep. The end fell out of
the box when small papei parcels rolled
out. It bein>’ after twilight, he lit a
match and to his astonishment gazed on
ton rolls of paper money, each roll con-1
mining $100 in $10 ami $•”> bills, neatly
tied up with woolen yarn. He made no j
delay in gathering up the greenbacks,
and shouldered bis spade and shovel
and made tracks for his house, where
most of the family had retired lor the
night when he disclosed the find to his
wife. When the rolls of bills were un
furled there were in one roll $45 useless, 1
as the bills bail got wet and the num
bers were gone, caused by the eave i
drop of the house coming in contact
with the box in the ground, as it was in
a slanting position.”
Wrong Figure.
In speaking of a big nugget found on
Minook creek in liKHi, a wrong figure
last week inaile tiie Valley News say No.
