If you are looking for bargains this is the place

don't blow for $100 an acre; the same lands in alfalfa

acre that you can raise anything on that is possible to
raise in Oregon. Beaver dam land that will grow
onions or spuds so large that the culls are prize win
ners, fruit in quantity and quality unsurpassed any
where, and land that you can do this on for less than
half you have to pay for land not half so good. This
land is sub-irrigated and also has the best water right

Now ond thou there's some monkey ;

Wiry nwny back lu the Of tics.
The fust of It nil was a dispute over
cards. It didn't amount to much, ex
cept it tn;u!e bnd blood between the
two men. Afterwnrd they met on n
ranch, and Itlley accused McCuIre of
purposely braudln stock as didn't be
long to blm. McGuIre tried to kill him
then and there, but was Interfered
with by Kiloy's friends. Soon after
that some one, knowiu' that the two
men were bound to have it out, sug
gested to McGuIre that they go off
alone for the fight McGuIre agreed
and sent word to Riley that he'd meet
him the next momlu at suuup on the
trail between Beeswax and Bully
creek and they would then and there
settle whether or no he had branded
stock thas wasn't bis'n. Riley agreed.
There wasn't no seconds, no surgeons
nor any of the claptrap that men hare
in toy duels. They was Just goln' oat
to fight
"Well, the next morn in', when It was
still dark, McGuIre mounted his horse
and rode off toward the trait There
bad been nothin aald about weapons,
each man bein' left to take what be
thought he could do the most damage
with. McGuIre carried two six shoot
ers and a knife. As be rode along the
stars waa a-dyln' out and there was
consid'able light where the sun waa
glttln' ready to come up. Be looked
toward the few little shanties that
waa Beeswax and saw aomepln black
comin' from that direction. It waa j
Riley, and he was armed Just about as i
McGuIre was. They was a mile apart
"Not wantln' to bring on the fight
too near Beeswax, McGuIre waited
awhile, then moved on alow. When
Riley got Into range McGuIre suddenly
ducked under his horse's neck and
fired. Ills bullet didn't do any dam
age at all. Riley he ducked Indian
fashion, too, and fired. Both on 'em
was rldln' around In a circle lookln'
for a clmitre to plug the other. Finally
i'ilcy's hone went down, hit by one
of McGulre'a bullets. Riley, knowln'
this would give his enemy an advan
tage, shot McGulre's horse, and each
made a breastwork of bis animal.
"Riley got the first plug, McGuIre
cut tin' a scratch around the side of
his bead that filled his sboottn' eye
with blood. He put his handkerchief
under his bat to ketch It and kept on
Oghtin'.
"Before the dozen shots each of 'em
started with was exhausted both of
'era bad three or four wounds. Nei
ther of 'em dared go out from behind

shots bod been fired tbey started for
each other with knives. Both on 'em
staggered as tbey eyed escb other.

Bat they waa both about equally tuck

three huts that made up the town o'
Beeswax, beln' wakened by the shots.

on 'em. McGuIre and Riley was hack
In' ut each other, both ataggerin' from
Ions o blood, bavin more of It outside

blinkers to keep 'em from secln' where
to strike. It was a beautiful sight, 1
tell you. these two game men sett I Id'
their dispute In true manly fashion,
without seconds or surgeons.
"BInieby tbey got so weak and so
blind that their blows waa nothin' that
a four-year-old boy couldn't dodge;
then tbey stopped altogether. We
picked 'em vp and carried 'em to the
town. There waan't but one room that
could be spared, and wt pnt 'em oa
bunks aide by aide. Each on 'em had
from ten to fifteen wounds, and they
was pretty well played out, but we
watched 'em for awhile, tblnkln' If
tbey got strong enough they'd go at
each other agln. Ton see. we didn't
want 'em to die on our hands, we to
send for serial things and nothin' to
pay for 'em.
"We did git a doctor for 'em. and
bt looked out for 'em both. lis said
he thought Riley would die, though be
couldn't be sure about either on 'em.
It was some time before either knew
enough to understand what was goln
on and longer before they could aay
anything. We was speculatln' whether
when they got np they'd call the fight
off. start In for s new one, or what,
when on morn in' when the son was
shlnln' In on 'em peaceful Riley be
reached out his band, took hold C Mc
Gulre's and says be, bo says:
" 'Beckon you didn't brand no stock
that didn't belong to you.'
"Wo was surprised to sos McGnlre
take his hand, and bo says, says be.
Tou're game anyway.'
"It was two months before they got
op and another before they could git
sway. When they did they rode off
fust rate friends.
"No, s tree; there slnt no such game
fights now as they was then. The
sand has gone ovt of
"Game lighter replied the listener.
That's what they were game fights,
or better named dogfights. Such men
are only large gamecocks, and even
that sort of fighting has disappeared
under more civilised conditions. The
country where what yon call these
game fights took piaee is bow being
covered with dwellings, schools, eot

EREGAME
FARM WORK PAYS WELL
tVivcctment Concerns Are' Forced to
Advertise In tha Northweat.
Duriug the last few months It has
become harder and harder to secure
fr.rtu mortgages un which to loan
money. The fanning districts recently
have been actually scoured for farm
its needing ready money. The situa
tion Is such that, with plenty of mon
ey available to let:d on farms and uo
farmers In need of that money, the '
u -mil rate of tS per cent l.t being pared i
down to ii'i and eveu ns low ns 5 per
cent. J
This at least Is the outline of exist- !
Ins conditions, particularly wl'.h ref- !
ereticc to Miiimvotit and the two Pit
kolas, given by ilia nt 'Van Sant, who
has been active lu securing mortgages
In this connection fi r a farm K an con
cern. Whatever the farmer may le dolus
with himself, ho Is not asking for
money. He may not Ikj sending ns
much at the general store; he may not
be restocking Ids farm or replacing
his machinery, but at any rate he
scorns proffered loans, even at low
rates. It is not thought, however, that
he Is neglecting to improve his plant
or Is foregoing the pleasure of elevat
ing his standard of living somewhat.
Puch abnegation would hardly lie con
sistent In a )Mrson with a big balance
In the bank and a check book in his
pocket
The gradual development of this sit
uation has been coming on for some
time. Two or three years ago farmer
needed money occasionally and gladly
offered wortgnges. Gradually this di
minished little by little until now. ex
cept In the case of extraordinary cir
cumstances, the worker of a farm not
only la Indifferent to Investors, but Is
seeking to do a little Investing on his
own account
Farm loan institutions. It Is said,
first worked through Minnesota offer
ing money. Then came the two Da
kota. Now agenta of these concerns
are going through Montana In the un
pleasant hope of finding some unfor
tunate possibly who wants "to mort
gage the farm." Their quest has not
been particularly encouraging.
As Indicative of the paucity of avail
able mortgages a hapHulng lu a well
known farm loan company may be
cited. An eastern Investor came In
and called for 100.000 In farm loam,
secured by mortgages, which must be
delivered within a year. Simultaneous
ly he wrote out a check for $1.1.ih
and asked for Immediate Investment.
The company was able to place only
$4,000 of It and now has gone to the
expedient of advertising for mort
gages. Trim Small Fruit.
Now Is s good time to trim the rasp
berry and blackberry fields. Not much
fruit can be expected from feeble
canes, and even the best canes will not
give much fruit If they are too close
together. Manure or fertilizer la also
required. Blackberry fields have been
known to give good service for years
without fertilizers, but If the field Is
given good cultivation and well sup
piled with plant food the Increased
yield and better quality of the fruit
will make some unprofitable fields pay

Cleaning a Well.
Before going down Into a well test
tbe purity of the air by lowering a
lighted candle or lantern. If tbe light
burns dimly or goes out the poisonous
carbonic acid gas "damps" can be
driven out by igniting s quantity of
turpentine and sawdust or kerosene
and rags in a kettle and lowering It to
the surface of tbe water, and then
later pour several bucket fuls of water
Into the well from tbe top. Test again
with tbe lantern and note the Improve
ment. We want our folks to be on tbe
safe side. Farm Journal.
