"Truth ia stranger lhau fictiou" hss been quoted so often that it is aluiorl threadbare, but like "Home Sweet II, inn ,'' it will never lose its significance or forfeit its truth.

On a former occasion I referred to Wes ton's moat happy raconteur, W. K. Jones, aud bis inexhaustible fund of pioneer reuii. niscencea. lly your leave I will givo your readers one of the equire's stories of tbe early timea in I iregon aa related to-day to that choice coterie of friends, who may be usually found gathered about the postofnee atove, and who have gamed the appelation of the po.tofflco clnb." The old geutlemau waa among tbe first settlers in the .tale, having aettled in Lane coiiuty in Iflol or S'2. After securing a do nation claim he settled down and for several yean cujoyed the extreme privation that all the ear ly pioueera enjoyed iu those halcyon days, wheu they were obliged to live on parched wheat aud huniiuy made of Ihe same cereal. The Squire, however, was not one of tbe number who snbaiatod on tbe scanty fare long, as bo soon after his arrival in the country constructed a flour ing mill; a primitive affair turned by a we ter wheel, but of sufticieut capacity to grind a coarse quality of ttour, aud aupply a long lelt waut at Ibat lime, (lly the way, it waa the third mill of Ibe kiud iu tbo State.) At tbis period there were several tribes of Iu dians still roam lug through Ibe valley who were frequently troubleeom and alwaya a source of annoyance to tbe white settlers; but the Squire relates that his standing among them waa always excellent, owiug to bis ability to make the much prised "shsp s as," which he waa sometime compelled to donate to them or see them perish irom starvation during an nuusual scarcity of food among Ihem. He mentioua tbe fact1 however, thai wheu he first settled ou hi. claim be averted a serious row and a possi ble eviction by buying off tbe p.ior claim ant, by giviug bit an old pair of autaloons, a vest, ami a hatful of bran for the eauio. He it said lo Ibe 'honor of old Spores' Jim that he never advened lo hia former rights, aud Ibe 'Squire enjoyed ieaceful possession am relaiuer until he was dispossessed by a limn with a bagfull of money. Rut lo the old geutlemau'a slur) : Ha aaja that the wtMtfoJ '"J was au extremely seveie oue, und the Indiana we e upon the verge of stsrvatiou. Thu while settlers were not iu n much belter c million, I at Ibey mausged to keep him grinding wheat a good portion ol thu lime and be doled out Ihe bran lo his savuge neighbors, gaiuiug their eto.nal gratitude and disagiecahle presence for his paius. The snow luy duep ou tbe ground, ailditc; greatly to the disuonif-irt Of the miserable Indians as ibey were unable to hunt for (MM, and a council was held to devise ways mid muaiia out of their difficul ty. Tiie urn old Spores' Jtni, who had sold Ibe squire his buil.u.bt for a hatful of bran, lived snmo miles dowu Ihe river, lie had a tremendous reputation among tbo In itials for bis power of producing a chiuook, but tho old rascal was a regular Jay Uould iu his monopolistic proclivities, and gener ally manured to break thu whole tribe by hia exlortiouate dcmauils for such services. Their condition in this instance was desper ate, howevtr, and tbe sacrifice must bo made. Ulaukets, robes am) anoljuua were piled up before Ihe great coujuror until be was satisfied, ami bo began bis incantations 'u s lar-e tent prrparod (or the occasion. He beat his drum and chanted bis cbaul all the first day, 'out tho aoulb wind he told hia em ployers was yet fsr away. All the succeed ing nigbt, without lood or drink, bo kept op the pow-wow, when next morning, "I'll be dingetl aud hope I may never stir, if tho bin-, -k didn't begin to blow, and the anew was goue before uigbt," relates tbe Squire. Of course, the Squire knew tbsttbo chiuook wiuld have beeu tberu just tbe same, but as was natural, Spores' Jim added greatly to bis reputation amoug tbo ludiaus by his ap parent success. Thu winter wore away and the Squire con tiuued (o griud with hia mill, retailing the flour he made at f'20 per sack to bis neigh bors. As I bsve relsted the motor power of bis mill tu water, aud it happened Ibat timing tbe summer there waa a eoarcity of that fluid in tbe little stream, and tbe mill was running on extremely short time. One day the Bquire was worse down on bis look .ban usual, owing to the fact that bt had some large grists in Ibe mill and no wa fer to grind them wilb, when an old Indian approached. This old fellow tbe Squire bad nicknamed "Simon Oirty," and waa a sort of favorite of his. He often twitted bim tor allowing old spores to gull bim oat of hia gun the pre ceding winter, the loss of which Oirty felt keenly now that game waa to be procured wilb it. Rut be justified tbe set by remind ing tbe - i'ii: that tbe snow disappeared through tbe medicine man's incantations, abd the tribe waa saved from .larval loo. "Well. Him," said he, "yon ase the creek in tlrv and I can't run nir mill; make it rain and I will give you a sack of dour.1' "Me wake momke ebnek" old Simon replied, "but me go git Spores' Jim." He left the mill and the Squire thought no more of tbe ciicnmstance. The succeeding uigbt a aud den alorm arose anil the rain descended in torrents, raising tbe creek and starting Ibe mill wheel to turning merri Iv. Tbe old mau in bia anxiety to utilize its every revolution arose during the night mi, I filled bia hoppers, and soon lbs while treasure waa filling hia bina. While thus busily engaged he waa astonished upon losikingaroand lo see Simon Oirty standing, tuck in band, with a eelf-utiened look on bis dark face. "What in tbe nation are yon after Ibis time o' nigbt?" aaked tbe astonished Squire. "Spoae me make bim ebnek charoo, nee rome ketcbum flour," replied Simon Qiity The old gentleman aaya be filled the tack without a word, and to tbia day if ha is liv ing, be no doubt thinks that he earned just ly hia precious fee. He informed tbe Squire afterwarda that he bad doubts at first of bia ability to make Ibe rain come, but tboejbt he would try oaoeWore he went for Spore., ami to bis delight found thai bia Inoaata tiona were snoeesaful He afUrwards be came a moat succeaalul medicine man in bia now extinct tribe.
