Times Circulation
The entire circulation depart
ment of the Times spent Monday
morning in the vicinity of Wapi
nitia and met with excellent suc
ncss in its efforts to increase the
circulation of the paper. The
progressive farmers and' trades
people in that vicinity are interest
ed in the developement of Southern
Wasco and, since our visit, are
boosters for the Times, one and
all. Wapinitia is located in an
especially fertile portion of Juniper
Flat and is sure to continue as it
has long been, an impartant trad
ing point. It is a historc place
being one of the oldest towns in
Oregon.
The members of the Portland
Ad Club went thru here Sunday
morning over the O-W, to Bend
and Redmond, where they were
entertained by the commercial
clubs. They traveled in six coach

2025 Sacks Wheat
Came in Saturday
Last Saturday was Maupin's
banner day as a wheat receiving
station. Two thousand twenty
five sacks were received at the far
mers' warehouse v ou that day,
When it is realized that each of
these sacks of wheat are worth in
excess of two dollars, it will be
seen that there will be a consider
able amount of money coming into
Southern Wasco thru Maupin this
fall. In addition to taking in that
amount of wheat Messrs. Cunning
ham. Derthick, Doty, Miller and
Manager Stewart found time the
same day to load out a car of
wheat. One day the previous
week more than nineteen hundred
sacks were leceived.

OAS OLD BILL
American Currency that
Is Older than Nation
Still in Good State of
Preservation
B. O. Fellows, who lives
near this city and was in town
Thursday, is the possessor of one
of the rarest and most historic
curios in the form of currency in
existance today. The doctor sec
cured the prize from a German
who he chanced to meet and who
said he had no use for it. It is
bill no. 45,397, Continental cur
rency, of the fonious issue made
by the First Continental Congress
on the tenth of May:-1775.
The bill is of the three Spanish
mill dollar denomination. It is
about three inches long and two
inches in width, printed on a quite
ordinary grade of bond paper, oil
ed, and apparently white in color.
It is now about the color of buck
skin but is probably yellow from
age, otherwise it is in a state of
perfeci preservation. This par
ticular piece of currency was
possibly paid" out to a soldier in the
Continental army who could afford
to preserve it as an heir loom. 1 1
shows no signs of ware and

for a hundred years. It is now
locked in the vault of the Manpiii
State Bank.
The engraving art was still
primitive in May, 1775. At the
top and the bottom of the bill in a
scroll aie the wards "Tbe United
Colonies," and at each end the
