MAUFI Devoted to the Interest? of Southern Wasco County VOL 7, NO 52 MAUPIN SOUTHERN WASCO COUNTY, OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6,1921 THE YEAR $1.50 T4K IIP 11V1JL5 School Notes The students of Maupin public school have found the weather to be very warm the last week. Mrs. Wertz is going to take her pupils on a field trip, in order to study the trees and their leaves. The art class are going to stait making color charts, using designs of the sun bonnet babies. The reviews of the primary room are conducted orally Instead of being written. The children have donated plates to adorn their room. The grammar grade room have been doing some reviewing and nop are having examination. The high school has just re ceived 108 new books. These cover a wide range of matter. They give the pupils an oppor tunity to acquire :i reading knowledge at least of many vo cational lines and cultural advan tages. They have been especially chosen to encourage the student to become acquainted with the various occupations open to young men and women of today, that he may find his line of work as early in life as possible, and so avoid the blind alley traveled by so many. Also a fine line of cultural books have been selected that the student versed in the solid requirements of business demand may not be lacking in those finer qualities that dis tinguish the true gentleman or lady. These books are for school use primarily, but it is sincerely hoped that the patrons of the school and district will acquaint themselves with the contents of the library and use it as freely as their time will allow.

That way is to use the best of paint. Some think of paint economy as "cost per gallon." That is wrong. Cheap paint nVsti't cover as much surface you need more gallons. Cheap paint is more difficult to spread, requires more labor, so the best paint costs no more when you've put it on the house than cheap paint does. More than that, it lasts five or more years longer, if prop erly applied, while cheap paint on "the .average begins cracking in twelve months. Good paint is an investment that saves money by preventing deteriora tion of the house. "Cheap" paint is the only paint that really costs you any thing. Don't allow surfaces to rot- it costs less to paint them. We've manV paints for west ern use for 72 years. We use pure riONEER WHITE LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and color, but we mix them in scientific proportions with long time skill. Our white lead base mut be fine enough to pass through a silk screen with 40,000 meshes to the square inch. That means covering capacity and ease of spreading. We super-purify the lead to make it "whiter," which means clear-toned colors. The finished product on the " house is a beautiful, elastic tough protective coating. We call these paint "Fuller's Specification House Paints" be cause they are the very best made for the purpose. fuller i paints Fullers W SPBCIFICATIQH House Paintc Photnlx Pure Palrtfr Pur Prepared Point Manufactured by W.

Miss Ethel Led ford went to White Salmon today to pick ap: pies and visit at the home of lit r brother Walter. Frank Felce was down from Smock yesterday. He purchased a milch cow from A. K. Lake. noticed that on each side of the river it looked as if there had been a road leading down to the river. There was no ferry or bridge there and the river was too deep to ford so inquire why the This ferry was never put back in place. Shortly afterwards a man by the name of Richard Bennett moved up the river about a quarter of a mile and put in another ferry. Here was where I noticed the depressions. Mr. Bennett ran the ferry until 1902 when he sold it to Mr. W. I began toi. Hunt. Mr. Bennett was depressions ! killed shortly afterwards by be- were there and learned this bit of local Maupin history. About forty years ago a man by the name of Maupin put in a ferry, crossing the river at the mouth of Bakeo'-cn canyon. He ran it for several years, when he sold it to Mr. Eli P. Hinman who run it for several years until ho died. After Mr. Hinman died the ferry was turned over to the public. No one owned it It was used by whoever wanted to cross the river. This ferry was the only means of crossing the river on the trail between The Dalles and Print ville. There were not very many roads in the cuurtry at, this lime. About the year WOO a man by the name of Woodside, with his horse, undertook to cross the river alone. He got about half way across when the cable broke, turning the ferry lose and overturning it. He was drowned, tint his horse swan on across and was found by an Indian whospivad the sad news, lie was found about three months afterwards near the free bridge near the mouth of the Deschutes, ing snot rjy another man in a long eistance gun fight. W. E. Hunt was in possession of the ferry until the year 1912, when the bridge across the river just in front of the Williams & McClure store and Fischer's Garage, connecting West and East Maupin and changing the road of travel, was put in, and so doing away with the old road leading to the ferry, the old stock yards and the old ware house that was just below the road and just above the railroad track. - Lester Oofoot.
