Dear Sir: Two and two make four
not always; depends upon what two
and two" are.
Two gallons of water and two gallons
of milk don't make four gallons Of
milk.
Neither does four gallons of paint
that's half lime, whiting, clay and
kerosene oil, make four gallons Of real
paint.
That's what we mean by saying
''Fewer gallons; wears longer. 1t
takes fewer gallons of DevOe & Ray
nolds lead-and-zinc than Of mixed
paints to paint a house, and it wears
twice or three times as long as lead
and-oil mixed by hand.
Mr.. Chas Avery, of Herkimer, N. Y,
bought 81 gallons of Devoe & Ray
nOlds lead-and-zinc to paint his five
houses, his painter having figured that
it would require at least that amount;
SO gallons did the work and he re-
turned Is gallons.
Yours truly

EoR KILLING DEER.
Paid A Fine to Deputy Game
Wardens, i'm AIsea.

Deputy Game Warden J. D.
Wells was over in Alsea valley
last week and the story is that he
got in some lively detective work
in his line. As reported the tale
goes like this:
l. H. King, prominent Ports
land real estate man, and Mr..
Wann and two sons of Salem,
were among the campers IN the
valley last week. Besides Deputy
Wells, there was another game
warden named Chamberlain,
from Eugene, in the same vicin-
ity. For same reason the officers
suspected that King and the
Wanns were dining on venison
in defiance of the law, and th e
game wardens watched for an
opportunity and swooped down
upon the camp one evening, find
ing, as they suspected, a fine,
dressed deer hung up near the
tent.
An arrest of Mr.. King followed
but he put up SIS bail and prom
ised to appear in Waldport next
dav to stand trial.
On the following day Mr.. Wells
and Mr.. Chamberlain were in
Waldport and while waiting for
Mr.. King to appear, the Wann
boys were confronted with the
situation and plead guilty to
the charge of killing the deer,
paid the fine of $25 and 81. 50
Justice fees and the case was set
tied.
At this juncture, however, Mr..
King arrived and when Informed
as to the plea of guilty" that
had been entered, was highly in
dignant and proposed to stand
trial in spite of all. When in.
formed by the game wardens,
however, that he would then be
arrested for having had
the deer in his possession, and
that another fine of $25 would
have to be paid by him, he decid-
ed to let the matter drop. Thus,
the crowd got off for $26. so, and,
the chances are that the lesson
to them will be well worth the
price. One of the Wann boys at
tended OAC last year.

About Poor Farm.

Following is an interesting item of
business transacted by the county court
at its last session:
Now at this time came on regularly to
be heard and considered the matter of q
tract of land purchased by Benton Coup
ty on May 81, 1906. described as Claim
No. 45, T. IL S., r.. 5W. in Benton
County, Oregon, containing $50 acres
aud for a consideration of S., 400, as
shown by the records on page 2l5, book
No. 45, Record of Deeds for Benton
County, Oregon, and said to have been
purchased by the County as a place on
which to keep our county poor. On July
IL, 1906, the present county court went
out to said farm and made personal ex-
animation of the land and it's buildings,
and among other things, to CONSIDER It's
adaptability to the purpose tor, which it
was intended when purchased.
Now, having fully considered this mat
ter, this court does not consider it advis-
able or for tue best interests of Benton
County to expend of the county funds an
additional amount necessary to erect
suitable buildings and make such other
improvements as would be necessary to
prepare the place for comfortable home
for our county charges. The court fur
ther considers that small tract of good
land suitable for gardening as better
adapted to this purpose. Therefore, it is
ordered that the County Judge be, and
he is hereby authorized to receive offers
to purchase or to rent said farm and to
report the same to this court at its next
regular term.

1t has been estimated by persons who
we're closely connected with the late
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, who was buried
at Richmond, Va, the other day, that
she left an estate valued at about $40,
900. During the latter days of her life
Mrs. Davis acknowledged to supple
ment her income with her pen. She
mad a dignifed position to maintain,
which necessitated the use of much
money.
President Davis was himself very
wealthy, but when he held the office of
secretary of war his expenses exceeded
MS income. Mrs. Davis claimed no
honors for herself, but she would suffer
no disparagement of the honors to
which she believed her famous husband
was entitled.
Papers of rare historic value which
she left, and which came into her hands
on her husbands demise, are daily en-
HANGING in value. She had Mississippi
plantation that brought her an income
of about $1,000.
