tainly. so l took the trail to Telluride,
a mining camp farther on In the noun
tains. Telluride was then a camp Of
500 or 1000 souls, and there was a
bit of a mining boom on which daily
brought new prospectors to swell its
citizenship, fatuous souls brought
there by the greed Of gold-a lure
that never fails to attract victims in
swarms. For three days searched In
vain through the saloons and dance
halls and other places where the rough
miners congregated without finding a
trace of my three rogues. That infal-
lible sixth sense of mine was doing
its best to keep me longer in Tellu-
ride, although my judgment told me
to move on to Silverton; but In the
end my intuition won the fight and
remained.
"One evening I was drinking with
a raw-bOned miner. The whisky was
abominable. The distillery where 1t
was made would never have recos-
nized its product in its present form.
1 complained of the poor quality of
whisky and asked my acquaintance II
there were not some better stuff to be
found in the camp. He said there
was not, at any Of the bars, but that
he had been given an amazingly good
drink by a miner. whose name he men
toned. He said 1t had been in little
bottle which held just enough to tease
one. but it was the best liquor he had
drunk since he left Kentucky many
years before. He licked his lips in
pleasant memory of the drink.

seemed, and lived in a shanty far up
on the mountain-side with two COM
panions. The three were making a
rather poor attempt to work claim
they had preempted.
Getting away from my loquacious
miner-friend, I climbed the steep trail
to the cabin and set about an investi-
cation Of 1t with great caution. The
men we're at home, and from the

What Is Being Done in This
Part of the willamette
Valley on a Very
Large Scale.

The movement to cut up the viii
lamette valley into fruit farms OF five
and ten acres is going forward rap
idly. This plan will make homes for
multitudes OF families who are seek
ing homes in the west. When a
homeseeker comes in and buys out
another homeowner, the latter moves
into the city. There has been an ad-
dltion to the population but no great
influx OF people such as will take
place when the big estates are cut up
into little tracts.
The men who are cutting up the
big holdings are entitled to a great
deal of credit and are the read de-
velopers of this valley on a large
