sociates and acquaintances, until, in com
mon parlance, Frank can have anything he
wants. Against his own wishes his frienis
pushed him for the nomination of sheriff
in 1900, but owing to the opposition of (he
outside delegates who considered him too
young, he lacked one vote for the nomina
tion. Mr. Elkins is an enthusiastic member
of the volunteer fire department, having
served as foreman of No. 1 until tie or
ganization of the department in 1899, when
he was chosen chief, and re-elected in 1900.

A. H. LIPPMAN, FURNITURE DEALER
AND UNDERTAKER.
The furniture and undertaking establish
ment of A. H. Lippman is a credit to Prine
ville, equaling in quality and quantity of
stock the best houses in much larger cities.
It might also be said to be a monument to
the industry, skill and enterprise of its pro
prietor, who has in a comparatively short
period built up an exceptionally fine trade.
Mr. Lippman knows how, when and where
to buy, and also seems to know by intul
t:on just what his patrons will be best suit
ed with. It is almost superliuous to say
that his stock of furniture, carpets, mat
tings, lino!eums, pictures and mouldings,
caskets trimmings and caskets is co : plete.
He also keeps a full assortment of doors;
windows and lumber of all kinds ; nd his
prices are always as low as it Is possible to
make them.

He is one of the "native sons" of which
Oregon has just reason to be proud.
