Hi.ik Ducket Tukory. The theory of the famous Blue Itucket mines is also Interwoven with the story of the plait, and thure are those who nre positive that buckets full of old nuggets are lying Idle In some of the guielies of the mountain. It Ib well known that a wom.sn, the member of Home Immigrant train In early days, somewhere In Oregon, Idaho or Northern California, dis covered the Blue Ducket milieu. More than a dozen points in each of the three states claim the Dlue Duck et mines, but they have never since leeii actually located, l'eople of all of these places know "about" where they are. The that the immigrant train was at n distance of ationt Wille Is an other landmark with a name .given ati'nlmorcjjwct'nt date, which Ih finally uninteresting to stockmen. Thlsjplae IsJHorseshoe Spring. A sluggish spring necr out from the base of Juniper Mountain and fills a few holes about the place where cattle and horses rome for miles to exhaust the water dally and lick the damp ground where the water had formerly stood. A lnrge-areanround this spring Is covered with old horse shoes and bleached bones of horses. This is a great mystery t the stock man who does not know the story. It Is well known that the Iiomcs of the desert were never shod, and why these pities of bones and hundreds of horseshoes should he found at this far-away isolated place is a punier to them. Anyway, these horseshoes were the cause of the naming of the spring. HOW TilKY CAME THKKK In early days a Callfornlnn was traveling through Oregon looking for a location for a stock ranch. He saw this spring and thought If It wnsj proiH'ily protected the point wouldjumkc a good one for a stock ranch. llc accordingly hired men and hauled wire and posts several hundred miles to the place and erect ed a fence about the spring, taking In all of the meadow adjacent to the spring. This meadow was fine ; and the water wasaniple, when prtK I tected from the stock generally, and , he brought several hundred line To Those Who Arc Not OUR PATRONS We have been very forcibly reminded of the appalling fact that we are getting older. This, of itself, has caused no loss of sleep but it makes tis sad to contemplate each setting sun and realize that vc have added nothing to your happiness nor reaped the enjoyment of -our closer acquaintance. We have made semi spasmodic overtures for your trade in General Merchandise but nothing tangible and truly satisfying has come of it,.and we have concluded that you don't fully appreciate the amount of pleasure contained in our output and our unhampered ability to make things generally agreeable for you. Come, now, drop in and sec us and let us know ench other.

Alter niuuy Illiu.H while lie was out hours a woman of the party return ed with a bucket of water it was an old blue bucket and she had in a pocket of her dress a handful of little curios that had attracted her atten tion. She exhibited tlictii. stating tliatslie hud fiiuiiil them in the stream when- she procured water. I'pon examination they were found to be gold nuguets. ranging from the sue of iartritli;e cutts down. "Why, 1 eouhl have piefced up this bucket lull." said tiir woman, and lllis ;-ave the mines tlie name. .nkvkk iii:kn nirsu Ai;.i. A death occurred in the party as a result from the exposure, and after burying her it was the woman wiio found the mines they sctux'hed for a few days for the mines and moved on. .Meinliers of the purty ufter wanls returned and searched for tlie mines, but they were unable to find them. Other isrsons have been Hearcliing for themeversiiice. Every watering place ami every gulch and mountain from Idaho to California lieur evidence of tlie place where the Muu IJucket mines were discovered, uud no ots: will lie surjirised ut liiul iug them at any time. Wngontiiv, the js-ople of that sec tion claim, was surely the place. They say It is fierfectly reasonable that there wen- immigrants then' or the wagontires would not have been there. They say that Indians may have massacred the immigrants, and that Is a good reason why the mines were never found. Then there are those who say It Is perfectly reason able that the immigrants were the ones who discovered the mines for the reason that If they were not massacred by the Indian they stop ped there and repaired their wagons and while the men were doing this the woman went out and discovered the mines. Anyway, no one has ever been able to shake any of the resis tive communities on their theory of tba mines, and In spite of the ofliclal uante on the map, of I lam a Teak, the people of the Interior will always call it Wagontire. HOKHKSIIOt: SI'UINU. Almost due south from Wugontire winter came on, which conies on suddenly in that country. The snow followed, ami it was unusually severe. The herder was delayed several weeks in getting back to tlie ranch, and wheu he finally reached it lie found that tlie snow had drifted many feet high all over the fenced port ion, complete- i l.v covering up the baud of horses.

The vacancy In the Oregon delega tion in Congress caused by the death of Mr. Tongue at this time creates much speculation as to choice of his successor. Section 2S51, of the Ite vlsed Ntatues of Oregon, of 1902, specifies how the vacancy shall Is filled as follows: "Whenever a vacancy may occur in the ollice of representee of Con gress from this state, from any cause whatever, the governor shull Issue his writ of election to fill such vacaucy In the same manner and under the same regulations as arc described by the law to fill vacancies in tiie legislative assembly."
