-vol, m. iioier seoas to ne -pom-try
editor ot The Statesman a
letter irroia a school girl friend of
tls and Mrs. Hofer'a wben they
tvere all younger than they are
ptrw, tbackln Iowa. Though they
in a" jr. not bare felt any younger.
ThA poultry editor U.W. C. Conner
a; d he- U away, attending the big
Tacoma poultry show. So the let
ter falls to the Slogan editor, who
U6e not know nearly as much
stout the habits of hens as Mr.
Conner dos. tout who. is a big
jr-booster for the rooster and all
t!a relatlres as Mr. Conner dares
beT-cspecially as applying' to th
claim that this is the greatest
poultry district In the world.! Go
to td prore It, in due time., too,
wth a $20,000,000 annual Indus
try; going to out-Petaluma Peta
liitn. , !;-. . j ; .
v But to onr muttons: or rather
to"onr chickens. As to the letter;
- .iThe letter is rrom Mrs. K.
Ctarke.' 304 South Firteentb street,
iWrT&llis." and she says among
f er things: - ' ;r . ),
..t'I am writing to you to Bee if
I '.a can place a good .poultry, man
on my ranch, two miles from Cor
tUis on the Philomath road. I
.1 'aged .the place to a wounded sol
"T, who in the past two years
s cleared. $3,000, and now he
1. 3 bought a ranch near Albany.
I! is a Tery neat and well equipped
I nltry ranch, six and a half acres
.oced with chicken wire, dirldea
, R3.i subdivided Into suitable j lots
'az'3, pens, has new hen house! 100
by 18 feet, and two smaller ones
l sod -brooder house, : barn, bussy
vfced, wood house, etc.; good sLx
r; om house, fine garden spot In
-f. ct, just what the name implies:
quare Deal - Poultry Farm. j It
reals for $200 ner year."
v-. 'Mrs. Clarke goes on to state that
the place ' has. now a wonderful
trade In poultry; which .would ben
efit the new renter. .
The Slogan editor prints this
mainly for, the purpose of showing
what a wounded man can do with
six and a half; acres derated to
poultry in the Salem district for
he claims the ' Corrallis eectlon
as a part of the Salem district;
especially since that section is
pretty welt advanced already in
the poultry boom that the Slogan
man is anxious to promote for this
whole district, t
A man not wounded might do
better. A man who did ' not un
derstand and love the poultry In
dustry might not do nearly as well.
-Anyway, there is the item, and
if it results in both helping to
show we hare ; the best poultry
cquntry in the world, and in rent
ing the farm ot the good lady, the
Slogan man will be more than
pleased. He lives mostly to serve,
and to prove his contentions about
this great Salem district being thQ
potentially richest: country under
the shining stars. - f

with one Buck Duane, last, of a
long line of Duanes who have been
known for their daring and deft
ness with the use "of a six-gun:
John Duane, father of Buck, was
said to be the fastest man on the
draw in ; the southwest and Mrs.
Duane holds grave fears that her
son will follow the footsteps of his
father. Eight notches on the han
dle of his .45 were mute testi
mony of how the elder Duane had
lived and died.
; Riding over the ranch Buck
meets Jenny, a sweet lass of 18.
Her father is ill and Buck earns
the girl's gratitude by helping her
mend a broken wagon. That eve
ning he visits a dance hall where
he dances with a pretty Mexican
girl. Cal Bain, the town bully;
who claims the girl as his sweet
heart, threatens him. The next
day Buck is told that Bain, still
drunk, is looking for him to kill
him. The men meet , and Bain
reaches for his gun; but he is too
slow. This is Buck Duane's first
gun play. He has "got hia man."
Fearing arrest. Buck mounts his
horse and leaves for the foot
hills. '
Sheriff Poggins Is a rough in
dividual. Eecretly he I3 the chief
of a band of outlaws and cattle
rustlers. In bis flight Buck comes
In contact with these outlaws and
becomes entangled with the lead
er, being accused of trying to steal
his wife. After a series of excit
ing episodes during which Buck's
life is endangered sereral times,
he rescues Jenny, who had been
kidnaped by the bandits.

away before you see the picture.
