Resolutions of Condolence
Population Increasing
Maupin's population may not
be increasing to any great ex
tent by people coming to the
town, but in a natural way there
is an increase in our census every
once in a while. Tuesday after
noon at 5:15 a newcomer made
her debut to the world and Mau
pin in particular in the person of
a dainty little Miss, who will be
loved and cared for by Vern
Tunison and wife.

extend to him their sympathy.
How many of our loved have
found their safe haven, like
broken spars adrift and nearing
shore. God calls them so fast in
ever gaining numbers. But it
is consoling to know tiiat He,
who doeth all things well, has
promised us a happy reunion in
the great beyond, where sick
ness, sorrow, - pain and death
never enter, but where we can
look upon the face of a loving
and sympathetic Savior.
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of our next regular
meeting, a copy sent to our be
reaved brother, a copy printed

, Pay rolls form the foundation
of community growth, and indus
tries are established and pay rolls
created by the investment of
money funds saved by people of
the community who have appreci
ated the value of thrift. The
practice of thrift is the founda
tion stone of success of the indi
vidual, the family, the corpora
tion or the community.
Webster's dictionary tells us
that thrift means "a thriving
condition; prosperity; stfecess;
good fortune." It also means
"good husbandry; econonical
management; fugility." Instant
ly one can see that those quali
ties are capable of application to
the individual, business or com
munity problems. The individ
uals, let us say for example,
practice individual economy and
fugility, saving a portion of
their funds and depositing them
in savings ' banks. The small
sums,- when accumulated ' into a
considerable total, are then lent,
in part, to a business enterprise
or are withdrawn by the de
positor and invested in stocks
or bonds of an industrial enter
prise which furnishes a pay roll
to the community. This pay roll
docs several things first, em
ploys men at a wage sufficient to
sustain their families. The
necessities of these families fur
nish opportunity for stores,
which purchase merchandise
from other industries, and also
furnish an outlet for farmers'
products. So we have it all the
way around the circle.
But these are the material as
pects of Thrift. Another impor
tant and, shall we' say greater,
phase is the spiritual side. What
shall we have in the end? Prob
That advertising is a trade
bringer i3 fully believed in by

this issue of The Times.' Mr.
Wilson has made drastic cuts
along many lines of merchandise

Our readers will do well to scan
the page advertisement on the
last sheet of this issue, then
come in and view the goods. Each

prices within the reach of all.
In fact, many of the articles

Panatrope Well Liked
The music of the Panatrope,
the adjunct to a Brunswick
phonograph, which was used at
the Legion dance Saturday night,
gave very good satisfaction.
The instrument is capable of fill
ing the largest auditorium with
melody, while the time vas as
exact as finished musicians could
make it. The instrument was
used through the courtesy of
Corson, The Dalles music man.

A Correction
In a recent article The Times
man referred to the Shady Brook
Community hall as "Shady Brook
Grange" hall. That was mis
leading as the hall is purely a
community hall, the Grange
merely renting it for meetings.

The minstrel show put on last
Saturday night at the local Le
gion hall by the Dufur Legion,
was all that had been said of it.
While the cast was not as large
as that of traveling professionals,
still the circle was made up of
real talent. The jokes were
timely, the songs well rendered
and the sketch new and pleasing.
The whole ensemble showed
patient rehearsing and the large
audience expressed pleasure at
each offering.
It was clearly shown during
the show the need of some
scenery at the hall. A few wings,
borders and a drop curtain or
two would fix the stage so almost
any play could be staged there.
The cost would be light and such
would add greatly to the furn
ishings of the hall.
Farlow Sells Ranch
Marion Farlow has" sold his
Smock ranch to J. E. Kennedy

move to the latter place. As
part of the purchase price Mr.
Farlow acquires a service station
near the west end park at Hood
River, a business which is re
ceiving a good patronage and
which should prove lucrative to
the new owner. The ranch con
sisted of 360 acres of land and is
a fine piece of farm property.

Philip W. Knowles, well known
citizen of Dufur, who passed
away at his home Tuesday morn
ing, was one of the very few
who realized his limitations and
who hewed to a line a3 straight
as it was scored. Coming to
Oregon from Montana he settled
near Wamic and for several years
wrestled with the prairie and
timber of that section in an en
deavor to make a home. In 181)9
he removed to Dufur and soon
became known as one of that
town's leading citizens. Enter
ing the mercantile field he soon .
demonstrated his fitness for that
line of endeavor. He continued
in that business 12 years, when
he and his partner retired. .
He served as mayor of Dufur
four terms; was' closely affiliated
with numerous fraternal and
civic associations, and was a
member of the Btate legislature
in the term of 1906-7.
His upright christian life will
do well as a model for all young
men to follow. Always mind-
"f f nhf the'errors ancTweaknesses
; of others, his was a hand out
stretched to their .assistance.
I His counsels were always solici
ted and generally followed, and
his interest in his home town
! paramount to all others.
J That his passing will be sin
jcerely mourned and his place
in Dufur civic and social life
will forever remain unfilled, is
recognized by all that knew him
in this life. The Times joins
with his host of' remaining
friends in sympathy for his
widow and others who were re
lated to him. His deeds on
earth will be an everlasting
monument to his memory.

There are times when even a

goes fluey and he forgets the

was with the "old man" of The

other his thinker got cross haul
ing and his wits went wool gath
ering. So much bo that he failed
to mention the fire at the O- T.
depot, which brought out the fire
department on the double, quick
on the night of December 30.
The siren called the depart
ment out about 10:00 o'clock and
when the members had pressed
several cars into service hurried
to the depot.' Arriving there the
roof was found to be on fire. A
garden hose was attached to the
sprinkler hydrant and the blaze
was soon under control. The fire
was caused Ly mortar coming
loose between bricks in the flue,
allowing a blaze lo cu.iimunicate
with a 2x6 studding. Chief
Chalmers looked the building
over the next day and esti muted
the loss at about $300.00.
