MAUPIN I MAUPIN GROW Devoted to the Interests of Southern Wasco County VOL 8, NO. 20 MAUPIN, SOUTHERN WASCO COUNTY. OREGON. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 23,1921 THE YEAR $10 WATCH rrfST? TTT? 1MB Substantial Development Just here we want to say a few kind words about our home town. There has been, in the columns of this paper more or less discus sion as to what has been and what not has been accomplished by the citizens of the town of Maupin. September 10th, as we all know was a day of disaster, a day that comes alike to all "shacjc-built" towns sooner or later, but "From the Anhea of the Past rise3 the Triumph of the Present", and we.the citizens of Maupin, are working to make this so, not only in the line of actual reconstruction but alo a reconstruction of Bervico and community and co-operative in terewt. The recent movement on foot to incorporate the town is well under way and is favored by all interested. This will provide a city council endowed with cer tain authority in the matter of civic improvements of various kinds and will serve to knit the loose ends of community interest into a body capable of "putting over" the things which each of us individually realize the urgent need of, but of which in the past we have been powerless to per form. The subject of incorpora ting will come up in the near future as a voting issue and we have no doubt but. what it will carry unamiously. Again we point with a certain amount of pride to Maupin 's Quick recovery from her disaster ous fire. Within a day almost, costumers needs were being served and had it not been for the unfortunate tie-up in regard to location the town would have been rebuilt within at the most 60 days. February 1st finds most of the burned part of the town rebuilt in concrete and steel and with three good stores instead of the former two. F. C Butler, formerly with Shattuck Bros, has branched out for him self in the grocery and meat line "Things to Eat" and is located in his new concrete structure on Deschutes St', Cold storage, so successfully handle perishables in the summer heat will be one of his special features. The R. E. Wilson Company have located opposite the Tum-A-Lum corner with a complete general mer chandise and implement lii e as before- Shattuck Bros, have re built on their former location, a tiO by 'JO Concrete all-plate 1'iont building and within a few months promise us one ot the lineal equipped stores in Wasco County And anyone with half an eye could seo that H- R- Kaiser has made some strides himself in the way of a better shop than form erly. A movement is on foot to locate the Postoffice in the un occupied part of his building and this would make an ideal location for it. Other new business buildings are planning for Spring work just what they will be or where located is not decided at present but the Maupin State Bank will undoubtedly put up a modern fire proof building just as soon as the weather permits. Any number of dwellings are contem plated, and Mr. Renick of the Tum-A-Lum Co. says prospects for a busy spring were never better. Uo not lose sight of the fact that the Dalles-California i3 routed and surveyed through Maupin and that the Deschutes river is claimed by experts to be the greatest fishing stream in the United States today; "Home of the Giant Redside"; with the new hatchery now under actual construction at last it means that the Deschutes Redside will continue to be plentiful as well as famous, and it is going to be pretty hard for an ardent angler their name is legion, - to pass up our town. One of the first measures that will undoubtly come before the Council if the town i9 incorporated is the im portant item of providing a suitable camping place for these visitors. It is not to be overlooked too, that the Deschutes is one of the greatest power streams in the Northwest and we look with interest to the developement of at least a small part of this for local use in lighting' the town In closing let it be said again that it is the defirc of the citizens of Maupin to make our town an open invitation to our neighbors on the Flat and accrcss the river; we want and desire your good will and support; the business men deBire that you make their places your own to serve your need3 both in a social and busi nss way and you will find them wiping to figure with you and fu'nish you what information they may be able to impart on thii jfs of interest to you; in other worl and to make a long story short COOPERATE.
