A LOST BOY KEEPS HUNTERS HUNTING I-ast Friday night there was a lost The search was continued Satur boy scare in Redmond that brought day morning and about 8:30 City Marshal McClay saw the boy on his out a large number of searchers. way home and gave the alarm that Luther, the 10 year old son o f Mr. called in the searchers. and Mr». A K. Wyatt, failed to come The Doy’a story is that while his home at bed time and his parents folks were attending the street car became frightened. After a prelim nival he became tired and sleepy inary search a general alarm was waiting for them to go home, and he turned in and searching parties went went to sleep in a box near the rink out In all directions and scoured the and stayed there until early Satur morning, when he went to C. country for miles around the great day er part of the night. One supposi N. Khret’s barn to finish his sleep tion was that the boy had gone out. and was discovered aa he was going home. swimming and was drowned. NO EXAGGERATION IN OUR PUBLICITY The Redmond Commercial Club and the people here have always been consistent and conservative in advertising Redmond and the Red mond District. Claims have not been made that ail the irrigated land In Oregon and the I ’ nlted Slates is at Redmond or tributary to it; that all the timber from the Ca nadian line to the Gulf of Mexico, and from Portland. Maine, to Port land. Oregon, is at Redmond; that we are the largest shipping point in the I ’ nlted Stales, etc., etc., hut the claims made for the city and district are sane and reasonable, and ran be substantiated and proven. The motto and line upon which the people here have been working Is: " W e can deliver the goods." Outside people who have become acquainted with the Redmond Dis trict through out literature sent from here and have come to investi gate for themselves, have been sat isfied with what they have seen in this section and the claims made for it. They have not been filled up with hot air in advertisements about thla district, and then when they arrived here found that we could not make good our clainf» They have found conditions even better than we claimed for them. It pays to advertise, but It does not pay to advertise unless you can deliver the goods. False advertising of n country is a hurt to that country and the coun- Contlniied on Page 7
