How to Really Save On Cost of Painting FIRST, find out what cood paint is, for that is where you start to save on paint. We spend more to make paint for your econ omy as follews: We use only the best materials in Fuller's Specification Hquse Pafntt PIONEER WHITE LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and finest colors. We super-purify the lead in a special purifier. Then we make the lead so fine that it will pass through a silk screen with 40,000 meshes to the square inch. The"whiter"lcad means clearer toned colors. The-extrcmc fineness means better mixing quality, greater covering capacity, more case in spreading a paint that's always uniform and smooth. Such paints (vhen applied form a beautiful elastic, toughj protec tive coat that stays, Ihey are known as "Fuller's Specification House Paints." Where "Cheap" Paints Fail Don't Figure Paint Economy as "Cost per Gallon." "Cheap paints can't compete with good paints in economy. "Cheap" paint covers less you buy more gallons. It is harder to spread, requires more work so you pay more labor cost. Your saving" in less .cost per gallon is very quickly eaten up. Cheap paint starts to crack in twelve months. Good paint re mains good five or more years. It is really the cheap paint that is expensive. Don't allow surfaces to rot it costs lest to paint them. There is no real cost in painting with the best paint. Depreciation of an unpaintcd building far ex ceeds the cost of paint. Freo Advice on Painting ASK our agent for our free advice, lie will how you a color card which iliowa 32 ahadei of thla deilrable paint.

Having notlcod tho sorcral articles in. tho Oregonlan re garding tho llluo Duckot mine, some ot my frlonda that know that I could glvo nn account of Its Ulncov ory havo urged mo to do so. Doth my fathor, W. J. Horren, and my mothor wero mombors ot tho company that Btovo Mook undertook to pilot from tho crossing ot Bnako river to tho Dallos In J845. Mook had trapped on tho upper Doachutos at what was known as tho Doaver Meadows two seasons, and claimed that he had boon over tho routo from there to Tho Dallos and also from tharo to Uolse and that ho could toko thom ovor a much hotter route than the ono over the Dluo mountains by way of tho Orand Rondo voloy. Ho Induced somo 30 ot 40 families and tholr outfits to lot him guldo thom ovor tho routo that ho had described, which was by tho way ot tho Malheur and Harney lakes and then across the mountains to tho Deschutes and down on tho wott sldo ot It to Tho Dallos. Dut traveling over a mountainous cotMitry with a saddio horso proved to be qulto dlfforont trom traveling with hoavljjr loaded wagons and oz teams. Thoy got along alright until thoy reached tho foot ot tho moun tains, whero thoy found tho country so rough and tho hills so stoep that thoy could not negotlato thom. Mook trlod to make it up aovorul tribu taries of tho south Mainour, but each tlmo had to turn back, which caused thom to loso much valuablo tlmo, and as tholr provisions woro getting qulto low thoy bocatna very much ozasporatod at Mook and finally sorved him with notlco that unless ho got thom out ot tboro within a certain longth ot tlmo his llfo would not be worth vory much. Ho bo- camo alarmed and sklppod out and loft them to their fate. Bevoral of the young men who had saddle horses scouted tho country over and finally found a ridgo that lod to tho Bummlt of tho mountain. Thoy concludod that if thoy could onco got tholr outfits up on to this ridgo thoy could mako it ovor tho mountains. Dy hitching ten and sometimes 13 yoke ot oxen at a time to a wagon thoy finally succooded in getting them onto the divide There was no water on tho divide so they had to make a dry camp. The captain ot tho company told all of tho young ooplo who had saddle horses to take buckets and go hunt tor wator. My father, who was thon 23 years old, and his sister, who afterwards bocamo the wifo ot Will iam Wallace, took their old blue wooden buckets and started out to find wator Thoy finally found a dry creek bed which they followed until thoy found a place where a llttlo water was soeplng through the gravol, and while my father was digging for water his suiter saw something bright and picked it up. The account given, mo states that thoy found two good slied lumps or nuggets, and that there wore many flno particles In the gravel. Ho was qulto aure that it was gold at tho time, and wbon he arrived at camp be showed It to somo ot the older men, who told him that it It was gold it would bo malleable, Bo one ot thom took a bammor and bant ered both pieces out flat into a saucer-shaped disc He had a tool chest with a secret drawer in it. He hid tho gold in the cheat, therefore no one but the mem bers of tho family ever knew what became of It. I well remember the old tool chest and Its secret drawer. When thoy reached the summit of the mountains they camped on a meadow, and while there some Warm Springs Indians camo to tbair camp. Ono ot tho Indians could speak a llttlo English. Ho .told thom that if somo of thom would go with him to a high ridgo nearby thoy could sco down into tho Des chutes and Crooked rlvor valloys. Ho showed thom soma buttos that lay south ot Prlnovlllo and said that thoy would find water thoro, but no wator between Micro and tho Deschutes. Ho also showed them Is now called Pilot Dutto, and told thom if thoy would steer straight for that llutto thoy would find a placo In tho bond ot tho river whore a man could cross it on a horso, and for thom to cross tho Dcschutos there and koop down on tho wost side, through by tho way of tho Metollus and Tygh valloy and that thoy would eventually reach tho Dalles. Thoy strung cables across tho rlv or and ferried tbofr outfits across, but In doing so thoy lost a lot of thoir provisions, but the gold was not lost. i Tho Indian evldonly reached Tho Dalles soon attor thoy saw him for tho missionaries at tht Dallori sont mon with provisions and team to holp thom through. My people havo always hopod that somo mombors of.tbo family would ovontually flnl tho placo where tho gold was dlscovorod, and many y-ars ago my fathor gavo mo nn old leathor bound memorandum book, with maps and diagrams vhowlng tho wator courses and giving a Kn oral descrpitlou of tho country. It also contained qulto an account ot tho trip and related many ot tho In cidents that occurrod. My father was among tho first to mlno on Feather rlvor in California. Ho kopt tho gold found In tho Dluo mountains and took It to California with, him and bought provisions with it nt Sacramonto In 1840, I onco did somo prospecting In tho Immediate vicinity of whero tho gold was round, i rouu somo uno goiu, but It was lato In tho fall nnd tho ground frozo so thnt I had to glvo It up. I Intondcd to go back somo tlmo and try It ovor, but havo novor dono bo. Many parties havo hunted for tho place In olthor 1866 or 1850 ono ot my uncles in company with four others started for the placo, but nt that tlmo tho Indians woro bad, and thoy got away with tho horses and two ot tho party were killed by tho Indians. Tho account given mo stated that tho placo whoro tho gold was found was nearly two tnllos from camp in n northerly direction, and that when thoy got back to camp thoy found that others had found wator in plon ty much nearer than whero thoy ob tained tholrs, so none ot thom wont back to tho placo and my fathor nnd his Bister woro undoubtedly tho only mombors ot tho party that over saw whero it camo from. Wo havo had many Inquiries re-, gardlng tho placo, but havo always nvolded giving any dertntto informa tion regarding its exact location. W. II. HERREN.
