Mrs. Patton. who Is affectionately
called "Aunt Martha" by a host of
grlends, started upon the long Journey
aujroaa the plains from Iowa, with her
parents and young brother, upon her
tenth birthday. The party reached
Oregon City, their first stopping place,
bt the early Autumn of the same year.
There was no Portland then, but they
passed the spot where our great city
bow stands In boats and bateau.
Thomas McBurney. father of Mrs.
Patton. started with two horses and ja
strongly built can-tage for his family.
He also had five yoke of oxen. All of
the cattle and one horse was lost on
the way. the family reaching Oregon
City with but one horse, and that was
stolen soon after their arrival. Mr.
McBurney saw his horse once after
ward, but could not recover It
Mr. McBurney started with sufficient
provisions for the trip, but the woman
cook employed by the family thought
the load was too heavy, that by light
ening the load they would reach Ore
gon much sooner, and she was detected
' In throwing some of the flour by the
roadside. She left her employer soon
afterward and the remaining members

Cascade Mountains later on. owing to
her careless act.

plight, sent relief as soon as possible,
thus saving tbelr lives.
Flour was mixed, with water and
rooked over the campflre. Mrs. Pat

the children."
The McBurneys paid t:9 for BO
pounds of flour upon reaching Oregon
City, and Mrs. McUurney gave 60 cents
for some butter. She laughed heartily
when she saw her purchase, the piece
ef butter being about the sise of a
walnut.
The family experienced no trouble
with the Indians, which was unusual
at that time: They had some sickness
and at times suffered from lack of
water.

Law of Comparison
And
Fischer Piano
Consciously or unconsciously, we are always
measuring some one thing by the other thing.
The world arrives at its conclusions, as we say,
offhand, "sizing things up."
The public accepts as a standard some article
that has withstood comparison with all those of
its kind that are less worthy, and this standard,
once established, remains unshaken.
The highest tribute ever paid the
Fischer Piano
is the comparison frequently drawn by other
dealers in the claim that their Piano is as good as
the Fischer Piano. Salesmen seeking to stimulate
confidence in less favorably known makes, which
they are trying to sell, are constantly referring to
the Ficsher the one Piano that is well-known to
be oldest and best.
Our store presents the most favorable oppor
tunity for careful comparison and the intelligent
selection of a Piano. If your present purchase
here is a lower-priced instrument than the Fischer,
you can, if you desire, make it a stepping-stone to
the final ownership of a fine Fischer under our
