DUNCAN McLEAN ONE OF EARLIEST. MOST ACTIVE PIONEERS It lias been said that among the most active of the earliest pioneers in this county is Duncan McLean or Wallowa a man who crossed, tho plains In tho early sixties,' cn tered this valley before there was even a .house built in La Grande, but yet today Is malinger of a theater in our1 sister county, Wal lowa. In the recent issue of the Wallowa Sun, Kdltur Huuistreet writes oulto fascinatingly of .Mr. McLean's experiences, and it is. with his permission that tho story Is. passed, tho article to appcr in two Installments. " Few would recognize in Dinicun McLean ot Wallowa, and manager of Mul.oun's theater, u pioneer of Oregon whoso trek across the plains crossed the site of the pres ent city of Ijt Grande, linker and others before over a houso was built, ,or a claim was staked, 'and who saw tho first house ufler leav.

Another associate was Frank Chllders, former slierlfr or Union (County. Dune wus also ucpuiy nssessor under Hen Hrown, rounder of La Grande. Ho helped drive the first Merino sheep to Oregon, for Donald Mc Cloud, ono of WlllumcUo vulley's first settlers and tor many years well known and wealthy brecflor ' of Scotch collies, near Amity, Ore gon. . ' . Dune has been a miner, painter, tombstone engraver und wagon-, smith: trades, vocations und fol- lowlngs which, with l.ls active, 'early life. . when woven together, make an hiiterestlng blend of pio neer experiences, such as nro fast disappearing beneath tho- sod as i5l!j NAZIMOVA, brilliant actress, writes: "The Russian lady ah, how she delights in the puff of a fragrant cigarette! AsaRus sian I have tried them all the cigarettes of Cairo, Paris, London, Madrid- but here in my adopted country, Amer ica, I have found my favorite cigarette 'The Lucky Strike.' In addition to its lovely fra grance and wonderful flavor it has no bad effect upon my voice so even when I go abroad I carry with me my little trunk of Luckics and enjoy a puff from America." 66 It's death, reaps Us harve.t ot age. : Dune is Scotch, ult . tho way through. He was born In Scotland neni' Glasgow, on March 17th, 1852 the soil or Mr. and Mrs. John Mc Lean, and lie. can twist his tongllo around Scotch hur-r-r yet with tho , flexibility or Hobby Hums. Dune's father was a blacksmith, but he wuntcd to go to America, like nil his neighbors were, und so, he bundled his fuiiilly und house hold goods Into n boat at Liver pool and away they sailed, ; Dune then was six years old. The sailing vessel wus seaworthy, hut tho voy age was rough. "Nevertheless af ter five woeks they arrived safely in New York and departed thnnco ror Illinois, settling In Sturlt coun ty near Kowuncn Hero two years luler, Mnggic, sister of Dune and later to be one of Kastern Oregon's best known teachers, was born.

They uiRdo fair progress having to tra vel principally by night on account of tho sheep being unable to stand the heat of tho sand by day, and continued to havo an escort until the Snako river wns reached, hero Iho captain told McCloud ho, would havo to abandon his sheep. But tho Scotchman was determin ed, and the truln vent off and left him. Hut ho struggled on, final ly reaching The Dalles, head of navigation at that time, with 2t0 head. Tho train with the McLeans reached Tl.o 'Dalles only two weeks ahead of McCloud at that. With his lust dlmo gono. Dune's father wus fortunate In finding work, ob taining a job us blacksmith for lll'n day. Tho wages wero high, but living wus too, for flour wus IS a suck. Tho family never entirely lost track of McCloud. After ho man aged to get Ills sheep Into tho Wil lamette valley he sold them off in parcels and then -went lo breeding collies at Amity. Ho died In Cali fornia several years . ago ut tho ago ot 83. His place al Amity was not far from the original donntion land claim of Joo Johnson, fath er of 10.
