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.
Ing thu Plutte river when 1.0 ur
rlved at The Dalles.
Nor aro there many today living
who remember him as one or the
ruinous riddlers of the Grundc
Hondo" valley in the days when
they danced the suuaro dances all
night. Kd Kcklcy and "lap'
ltiehey were two of his associates
In pioneer organization. They are
still residents of the Grande Hondo
valley.. 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

Dune has been a miner, painter,
tombstone engraver und wagon-,
smith: trades, vocations und fol-
lowlngs which, with l.ls active,

make an hiiterestlng blend of pio

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."

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.
Tho following year the'-mother
died, and Iho father with Dune,
Mugglc, John, eldest son, and
Helle, eldest duilghter, packed
their belongings Into a wagon und
with a team started for Oregon.
They worried along their way,
falling In 'with others, westward
hound: kindly, motherly ladles tak
ing care of the baby, Maggie. For
tunately, for them, they secured
a government escort .under tho
persoih.l direction or Captain Craw
ford, and when their team died,
the government - provided thorn
with oxen. This wus In the year
In 1801, uhd tor seven weary
months they plodded, across tho
plainsand mountains.
Here is where McCloud and Ills
sheep enter tho scerto. McCloud.
Scotchman, to, and well known
to Dune's rather, had gone to Call
forhla in the gold rush ot '40, later
drifted to. Oregon und thon hud
gono back ,lo Scotland for some
thoroughbred collies, stopped in
Vermont on his return, bought 600
Spanish . Merino sheep und then
slurtod afoot with Ihcm. wintering
In Illinois near the MjcLean place.
Hcnco It came ubout tliat tho Mc

toasted" no
Leans stnrtod west vvhen McCloud
resumed his Journoy. '
ljunc, us a burofoot boy, helped
McCloud drivo thesu sheep. Ono
other man, a'-hordor, named Camp,
boll, also helped and that was all
tho assistance McCloud had. 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. F. and Artltur Johnson, of
Wallowa, ono of tho county's orig
inal pioneers.
- After blacksinithlng ut The
Dalles nearly four years. Dune's
father retraced his stops with Ills
family' to La Grando and al the
foot ot Mt. Knvlly look UP a, home
stead, und here ho resided until
Ills death. Tho old place is known
as tho McDonald Bros, place.
