MARION COUNTY. OREGON. JULY 17, 1^8. T hirteenth Y ear . It ia now an assured fact that the Oregon Electric will build to Stay ton in the very near future. Our citixena have taken up a large per cent of the ♦ 100,000, first mortgage bond« which pay aix per cent interest semi-annually with the future consideration that the Oregon Electric Company through ita agent A. Welch aggree» to take up any or all subscript ions paying par value there-for at any interest paying |mriod The taking of stock in this enter prise means the la*«t investment for the surplus capital of this or any vicinity. Not only does it mean the building of an electric line, but the removal of the greatest hindrance to Htaytona growth — transportation. With the accomplishment of this of this undertaking this entire terri tory will rapidly l>e settled up, limber products, farm produce, stock etc., can be sold at home to an advantage and every one will be benefited. It may seem to some that A. Welch is asking a subsidy for his road but such ia not the case for he agrees to take up any subscription given together with six per cent interest semi-annually this to be Bt tbc option of the subscriber. In addition to giving this section transportation and railroad facilities the new electric line bring« the assessed violation of Marion county into a new class to the tune of $388.000. Now ia it not a fact that every citixen who make« a loan on the electric lint- has availed* himself of the la?«t industrial security offered any community. The work of the s|>eclul commute is being greatly commended and appreciated by all and let the last six months of the year prove the best Htayton and vicinity have ever known.

Do not depend upon printed de= scriptions. There are only a cer= tain number of adjectives in the language anyway and they are apt to be used many times when a fellow is trying to convince of something on paper at long range. The result is you do not know what you are getting after you are all through reading. Cut This Out and come here and see what you buy. It costs nothing to look, and even if you buy and are dissatisfied after wards, return it and get your money back. No complaint either. Gehlen Bros.
