Phone Main 3451 A Deserted Village As a person travels on the road from Wapinitia to Tygh Valley on Juniper Flat, he will pass a group of old buildings, dilapidated and weather beaten. A store building, a blacksmith shop, a church, a dwelling house and several other buildings and barns can be seen, which proves that this was once a little town of somo sort. On inquiring it can be found that this was once a thriving little business center called Vic tor, and to this place the home steaders and farmers of lower Juniper Fiat cmno to kt'! their mail, to buy their groceries and to get their horses shod and their blacksmith work done. Mr. A. J. Jones first owned a homestead of one hundred sixty acres including the land this place was built and in lei!) 4 start ed a small postoflice, the nnil being brought by stag? from The Dalles or Durur. A little later lit started a small store in connec tion with this posloiliee, and sold ouch merchandise as groceries, canned goods, candies, tobacco etc. After running this store and postollice for a few years he sold eighty acres of land where the store and postollice were, to Mr. F. S. Gordon. Mr. Gordon then built quite a large store with the postoflice in connection. Later the store was completely burned out and Mr. Gordon rebuilt a store which now stands in Victor. About this time Mr. Frank Dean started a harness repairing shop and this proved to he quite a thriving business. The Lyon brothers then started a blacksmith shop which chang ed owners many times. Succeed ing the Lyon brothers, Jeff Pad get and Henry Holland ran this blacksmith shop together, and following them, Mr. Aleck Mar tin, who now owns the black smith shop in East Maupin, Mr. Charley , Crofoot who runs a VVapinitia Oct. 7 Business BROS. ttt OMRS i anuraam was blacksmith shop in Wamic', and Mr. O. M. Fraley were consec utively owners of this shop, After Mr. Fraley went out of business in Victor, Mr. Holland returned and again took posses sion, i Mean while, Mr. A-F. Evick who now lives in The Dalle?, bought the store from Mr. Gor don and Mr. Evick did a flourish ing business for several years, this store being a little more completely stocked up then the others. About ten or twelve years ago Mr. Evick turned the store and postoflice over to Mr. W. II. Tal ced t who ran only a small store in connection with the postoflice Mr. Evick moved to Wapinitia and bti.lt the store where Hill is now located. When Mr. Mr. Staats built his second store in Maupin, Mr. Talcatt moved this and run the Maupin postollice in the back of Staats store. So Vic tor's life was ended about 1'JIU or 1913. Yet, ns one passes by this place, where the buildings, ex cept the dwelling bouse, are weatherbeaten, and windows, and doors are barred, one can scarcely believe that at one time (his place was the metropolis of lower Juniper Flat, now Victor can be rightly named "The De serted Village.

Tygh Valley School Notes Interest in the primary room in centered in oral dramatizing of stories and motivation of arithmetic work. Primary songs are being introduced and this mom is going to help make Tygh Valley school a singing school. The little people are still busy with their room decoration. They hope to have a pleasant, attrac tive room m which to continue their school work. Aside from theiif regular school work in the text books, the primary room intends to do their pard toward ,. .. j,., ,, making the rriday assembly a . , , , . auLcesa. Aiieauy uiey aru ic-am- ing in a practical way what co operation means. On Monday, September 2, Mr. Frank Wing-moved to Tygh Valley with his family in order that his two children, Lena and Frank, might enjoy the pvivil- edges of the high school. Both Lena and Frank are members of the class of '23. On Tuesday, September 27, MrJ J. H. Miller who is employ ed as an electrician at the power plant, moved equipment for bachelor apartments into the small one room building former ly used as the telephone central office. This building is one door east of the present central office and across the street from the old C. W. Wing livery barn.j George and Fred will enter school Monday. The indications are that others will enter in the near future. Tlwi i n I I'i'i't" nf llio iumib"i in u ... , ti are doing excellent work. Arrangements have been made for the organization of a high school orchestra. We are so for tunate in Tygh as to have as a teacher Miss Jessie R. Aiken, who, in addition to playing two years in tno Dufur high school band, had one year of special training at Monmouth, while in attendance at the Oregon State Normal school. A glee club is in the process of formation. The tenors will be led hy Mist Annie Hallyburton, who received several years spec ial training in glee club work while a student in The Dalles high school. The leader of the altos will be Thelma Bonney of the class of '23. Miss Bonney was a member of the glee club at Franklin high school in Port land during her sopMomorc year. In the assembly singing at Franklin Miss Bonney was quite often designated to lead the alto for the entire student body. The young people are taking hold of this work with enthusiasm. At student' body meeting last Monday it was decided that the ?''-ls of the student body should bi a decorating committee for the purpose of making the high school room attractive. Kegtt.a Muller of the class of '25 was appointed to serve as chairman of this committee. The chaii nnm is showing great interest in hor work and evincing marked labilitv, as the ippearance of the high school loom already indi cates. Purple and gold' have been adopted as the school colors and will predominate in the decorations at all school functions. It is the present plan to hold in about four weeks the regular student body mixer for the pur pose ot lormcrly welcoming into tin? high school the incoming freshmen class. Total enrollment for the school is 36: Primary 13; Intermediate 13; High school 10. Friday of each week is "par e.its' day" and all parets and friends are urged to be present. We are especially anxious to have folks visit our school and see for themselves how we be ll ivo ourselves and how thor oughly and well our school work is done. We feel considerable paide in having -accomplished so much in so short a time. Wc are learning the value of consist- ent, insistent work. Already we have been reminded that there is "no royal load" to learning. Somehow we are just a little re minded of Mr. Edison's epigram matic statement, "genius is not inspiration, genius is perspira tion". We realize that work is the saving quality, and that'per sistent merit does succeed. The intermediate grades held the first meeting of .their liter ary society Wednesday. Miss Hallyburton's room was present. We expect to have' meeting ev ery other Friday afternoon. We are decorating our room tbia rnar until a "Foil klapbKnorH , , , . , .border of grapes and expect to , ... , have our white curtains up soon,. Winston R. Lake, Editor. Homeseekers Coming I Two dates have been published in The Maupin Times lately, , that can have a decided bearing 'on the future development of Southern Wasco County, and those should be brought to geth er in some manner- Ihey are those of the annual Fair, Sept 22 to the 24, and the homeseek ers date of Oct. 9 th. It ia alto gether likely that neither one could be changed at this time but there is a possibility that the exhibits could be perserved in tact at the fair grounds until after the later date. Or if that Ai practical, the Chamber of Commerce or some similar body of each section might arrange for the local exhibits to be housed in some convenient place, that the visitors might view the .produce ot the country, as their stay is to be so short, they can not hope to cover a great scope of territory, and if they can be shown the fruits, vegetables, grasses and grains, together with figures on conservative yields, then show the country that did the producing, the im pression might be more lasting. It is up to us to be interested in our own resources, and tell the world of them, for enthusi-a-:m is as catching as the measles and the lack of it, as the gloom of an undertaking establish ment. A permanent exhibit at some central location, nicely arranged and cared for, might be a 'great investment. Those among us, who, like our worthy ancester when the adventurous neighbor settled with in ten miles of his home, packed up and moved because people were getting to thick in that neck of the woods, might find a chance to do the same, and in so doing would help both themselves and the country. We would at least earn a rep utation for enterprise, and il might actually be a means of great benefit, both in acquaint ing the stranger with our re sources, and as a reminder to ourselves, when we are dowr c ist and disheartened, of what the country can do if we do our part.
