More Bogus Land Schemes.

It is believed here that an
effort to defraud Seattle people by
the bogus timber land method
with Benton county as the scene
of operations, has just been
thwarted. The plan, says the
IOregonian of October I, is ap-
parently the same as that prac-
ticed upon Portlanders last Fall
by Locator Stone. A few days
ago, a business man from Seattle
and surveyor from the same
city arrived in Corvallis and went
at once to the county clerks
Office, where they examined
maps for the purpose of locating
certain alleged timber lands with
in ''four hours drive of town. ("
The lands were said to lie in
southwesterly direction, which
incidentally, is the direction in
which Locator Stone took his
Portland victims.
At the clerks Office the visit
ors were told that there were no
available timber lands in the re-
gion referred to. The said a
locator had proposed to locate
party of IS Of them on lands COW
cred with valuable timber. AS
all fho - - ho- 1orIe -, @Lo oo,-4
that are of value we taken long
ago, the visitors concluded that
there was a possibility of fraud
in the venture, and they took the
next train for home, without Wis
iting the sections in which it
was represented to them that the
Is quarter sections were to be
had.

c. s. E. Preparing to Build.

A special to the Oregonian
from Bend, Dated September 30,
says: W. A. Brandebury, the
Albany lumber dealer, who has
come across the mountains to
look after interests in this region,
says there is every evidence along
the line of the Corvallis & East
era Of preparations for extending
the road to Bend. Four saw
mills are engaged in turning out
railroad ties, which are pur-
chased by the Corvallis & East
ern and piled along the track
for miles. The mills report that
they have sawed more of these
ties in the past six months than
in six years before and but few
have been shipped out to market.
The roadbed of the Corvallis
& Eastern has long been graded
for 9, distance of ID miles east Of
the crest of the Cascades and the
short tunnel there necessary
has been bored half way through
the backbone. The Corvallis &
Eastern was mortgaged FIVE years
ago for something like 81, 2,ooo,-
900, but the bonds were never
issued. 1t is said that everv-
thing is ready for an advance
on short notice.
Some OF the officials of the
company have been making in
vestnents in the vicinity of the
survey on this side of the noun
talns, which is regarded as
significant.

Letter to Burns Hardware Co.

Dear Sir: Messrs. Leachman s Ede
lin, Grafton. vs.. had been selling
paint. which they thought well Of;
and this had occurred.
They had sold a customer 18 gallons
of it to paint his house. A few years
later, they sold the same man Davoe
lead -and-zinc the same number of
gallons to paint the same house. He
had Z gallons left.
The point of the tale is: II gallons
Degce paints an lS-gallon house. Do
you want to sell it?
OF course, that isn't all.
Why does IL gallons Devoe go as far
as l8 gallons of other paint? Because
Il is all paint, all true, no saarn, and
full measure.
Do you want to sell it?
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts long
81. No, no; you haven't got to wait
ten years to find that out. Ten thous-
and people know it. We've got their
names. Our agents know them; they
think q heap of Devoe. There's no
difficulty in showing your townspeople
what to expect of Devoe. $40 will paint
4 SIS house; and the paint'H last
twice as long.
Do you want to sell it?
Yours truly,
