(Staff Correspondence.) You will Ions.
In vain for Nye's ranch on the map, for
there Is no town, no PostofTlce tv that
name on the nap or In the directory. It
Is Just what Its name Implies a ranch.
It I located on section 21. township 17.
. sooth ranee IT east. It Is 13 miles west
of Fife and - miles southeast of Prlne
vHle. But I want you to go back with ma
to Buck Creek, to the Fife Fostnfflce.
and to the ranch of Hon. W. Brown.
toes the name sound fxld. unfamiliar?
Wll. I rurss I had belter chanite It
to Bill Brown, without even quottna- the
Bill, for that Is the nama of the owner
who la one of the crest characters of
Central Oregon.
I find on my map that Buck Crek Is
et down as hulnr no beainnlnr and
no ending-, so far as sny other stream
eonnectlon la concerned. It Is In town
ship II. south, ran ire IJ east. But It has
an outlet Into Crooked River, about seven
or eight miles west of Brown's. Will's
ranch l two miles down Hurk Creek
from Fife Poetofflce. whl-h Is simply
a house and a stable, a sort of primitive
stage station. The place Is Juet where
the roa.1 comes down to Buck Creek
fmm Buck Mountain, and the road lead-
Ins np and down Bu'-k Creek Is the main
road to and from Burns and Prtnevllle.
1 say Teadlna up and down for you can
so to Frlnevllle by goine either up or
doan tVe creek, the distance belnc not
materially different by the two routes.
One leads around Mvtry Mountain to
the ea.t and up to Paulina; the other
around Maury to the south, via Barnes
and Robert. The distance from Fife
to Frlnovllle la something like 0 miles
be the latter route and a little leas by
th former. Buck Creek Is an Insiantfl
iant stream, the valley not over half
mt?e wide. I think It Is some seven or
eight m!is lonr. and BUI owns the moe
of It. His ranch la some two or three
miles from the mouth of the canyon.

It must be a story quickly told. 1 have

whether he would meet me with the glad

State of Oregon.
Altogether there were 275 laws passed
t the last session of the Legislature.
but eight of these carried emergenc
clauses and all told there will prob
ably be six referred by the use of the
referendum.
If the Malarkey act extending; the
power of the State Railroad Commls

probably be considered one of the most
Important of the acts to become ef

considered a measure of much merit.

Another bill of much Importance

Also a bill of wide Importance to th
state Is the certification act which w
Introduced by Senator Hawley. Thl
provtdee not only for a comprehensive
svstem of certification, but also for
the standardization of normal schools,
universities and colleges as well as for
teachers' training departments In th

Rotation of names on primary elec

act which will become a law Saturday.

While 1 waa at the "ramp" there were
three demands over the telephone for
supplies canned goods, butter, flour and
such things. The response was always
an emphatic "no." but In the end the
requests were granted. In at least one
of these cases the flour, bacon and
canned goods were a gift, for he knew
the woman tojrhora the goods were sent
could never pay.

Ideal hueband. and I hope when I visit
him again to find him enjoying the

his "camp" turned Into a real home.
When I left Buck Creek I drove to the
Crooked River Valley, and croesej that

The soil la rich, not too heavy, the

bedrooms and a ballroom, the bitter be
