JAY H. UPTON IN
BIG OFFICE RACE
Bend Man Publishes Strong Piat
f form To Support Candidacy
Promiiei If Elected To Be "Gov
ernor For All People"-Will
Play No Favorites
Jay II. Upton is in the field for
the nomination and election to
the position now occupied by
Walter Pierce-the governorship
of Oregon. We frankly acknow
ledge being partial to Charles Hall
of Marshfield for that position,
but since that gentleman has
made announcement that e will
not be a candidate, we have made
up our mind that Mr Upton is our
next best man.
ir. Upton says in his platform,
that if elected "I will give the
people a dignified, efficient and
economical administration. I
will be Governor of the people."
This candidate was president
of the state senate in 1923 and as
such appointed a Ways and Means
committee which cut appropria
tions below the demands of the
budget makers and saved tax
payers more than a million dol
lars. He say 8 he will put a stop
to junket trips, by officers under
him, and will endeavor to stop
spending wherever possible.
Mr. Upton advocates the
abolishment of the so-called
Emergency Board; would see. to
it that all laws , were enforced
without fear or favor; would . in
sist on fewer laws and better en
forcement. He is an adyocate of
harmony between executive and
legislative departments and is in
favor of reducing the license fees
on automobiles, also is an expo
nent of better; roads and high
ways. Another thing H favors
is a reajusttr.ent of the taxation
and assessment laws, and he ob
jects to' municipal bonds being
exempt from taxation. He says
that our forests should be'pre
served and that a system of re
forestation be adopted.
Mr. Upton believes that our edge of a precipice. .The mare,
great forests,lakes and strecms; being rather feeble, was event
should remain under the control uany force,i 0Ver the brink. She
of the state and the state alone; foil over and when sha struck
that the federal government,
which is reaching after full con
trol of our game life, should be
stopped before too late..
The candidate is vehement in
demanding that the game license
money not go into the state gen
eral fund. He says that every
dollar so collected should go into
a fund for the protection, propa
gation and preservation of our
game and fish;'
Mr. Upton is philanthropic and
and believes in taking care of the
tged and infirm. He says there
should be a reformatory for
youths convicted of crime,, so
they would not be thrown intoj
contact with confirmed criminals
and where they would be taught
the better elements of living.
Mr. Upton ia against maintain
ing a parole board. He says
paroles should be given for good
behavior only and then only on
the recommendation of the war
den. ,He deplores the management
of the penitentiary. If elected
he promises that a" competent
man will be selected as warden,
and he will be required to run
the institution right.' i-r '.
Farm Marketing is another
item in which Mr. Upton is in
terested. "Agriculture ; is the

Full Of Action
Charming, graceful, petite
Barbara Bronell, who is playing
the title role in the musical
extravaganza "My China Doll,"
is coming to tha Civic . Auditor
ium (The Dalles) next Sunday
night, Feb. 14, amid a galaxy of
the most beautiful girls that ever
graced the boards behind the
foot lights, girls who surprise
with their versatility. They are
clever and sing with thrilling
voices. i
Haunting melodies, strains of
Chinese music, dim lantern, s
twirling parasols and waving
fans introduce the atmosphere
of the Orient. This magic set
ting becomes the background for
an excursion into the realms of!
fantasy, which gives free reign
to tho most amazing array of
brilliantly staged transforma
tions which the heart of the
artist and musician could desire.
The comedy touches blend
with the setting and the mer
riment is a boiling point during
the entire performance.
Whether as "Peach Blossom,''
the bewiching. Chinese maiden,
as Cinderella, Little Msss
Uaytime," a "Rose," or "the
Bride," Barbara Bronell is capti
vating, entrancing. supreme.
She dances and sings with such
sunny smiles, a vision of grace
and lovliness. --
Brimful of color and action,
well rendered songs, lilting mus
ic, excellent dancing "My China
Doll" is a musical comedy that
everyone shoul 1 make it a point
to see. . , ... ; .
Dad Cole Grieves
"Dad" Cole's soul is deep in
mourning. He lost a jack pot
one day last week, which greatly
depressed him.r Bu the crown
ing cause of his grief is the loss
of his favorite mare, which has
been his standby for the past
40 years. The animal was graz
ing with the cayuse of John
McMillan and the two began
quarreling. Mack's cayiiflob
jected to Dad's mare eating all

so beiran crowding her to the
bottom failed to get up her

wonder at Dad's being depress

with the best means for extend-
ing this branch of farm extension. I
He says the state should aid such !

under war conditions where the
land cannot carry the existing

The platform is sound, logical,
and made by a man who has the
courage of his ! convictions to
carry out his promises, He does
not speak for political effect
alone, but ia sincere in , his "ad
vocacy of the things mentioned
here. When Mr. Upton says ,"I
will be governor Of all the peo
ple," he does not mean to be
arbitrary but to further the
interests oi an uregon. such a
man is needed in the guberna'

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
'' Among the many notable addresses made on
memorable occasions there is nona which out
stands, that made by President Lincoln on the
field of Gettysburg on November 19, 18G3. It
was made midst the great Civil war and (ailed
for the greatest effort of Lincoln, who as direc
tor of the federal forces, had forsight abd patriot
ism sufficient to designate the ultimate and
definite result of that great conflict being waged
between the armies of the North and South. His
speech at that time was an epic and will live as
the greatest oration of the great republic. We are
pleased to publish it in this issue of the Maupin
Times: ''
FOURSCORE and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth, on this continent a new na
, tion, conceived in liberty and dedicated to
the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now'wc arc engaged in a great civil war, testing,
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battle-field of that war. We have,
come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final
resting-place for those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live It is altogether fitting
' and proper that we should do this.
, But,.in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate we
, cannot consecrate we ? cannot hallow this .
ground. The brave men living and dead, who
struggled here; have consecrated it far above our ?
poor power to add or detract. The world will ,
little note nor long remember what Ave say here,
; but it' can never forget what they did here. It is
for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to '
' ' the unfinished work which they who fought here
' . have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for '
us to be here dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us that we take from these honored
dead increased devotion to that cause for which
' they gave the last full measure of devotion; that ,
!, we here highly resolve that these dead shall not
, have died in vain; that this nation, . under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom; and that gov-
' eminent of the people, by the people, for the,
people, shall not perish from the earth. : .
Wheat Growers Conferencej
It is expected that a number
of prominent wheat growers of
this section will attend the Wheat
Grower conference at Moro, be
ginning today and continuing un
til Saturday. Among those of
this parts who are mentioned as
committeemen are A. B. Dough
ty, manager of the Hunts Ferry
warehouse, who is on the Wheat
Handling committee, and Jess
Fleming, who is a member of the
committee on Farm Manage
ment ' ; '' 1 ' "
Lincoln. Lack of space and the
inability to do justice to the life
of that great man forbids an at
tempt on our part to mention
more than 1 the fact that the
birthday of the Great Emancipa
tor occurs tomorrow.
McCorkle Makes Good
; .Clifford .McCorkle, the Maupin
boy who is developing his wrest
ling, abilities at O. A. C, lately
had a. try-out at an all-college
meet at Corvallis. His opponent
was Ben Dubois, an 185-pounder
and.McCorckle, at 175 pounds,
made the bigger boy extend him
self to hold his, own. , The try
out was for all weights.
Fruit Trees In Bud
Orchardists hereabouts are
much perturbed over the condi
tion of their fruit trees. The ex
tremely warm weather has
brought out the bud3 and forced
their growth beyond expecta
tions, and the growers are fear
ful that a frost will come and
blast the chances for a good
fruit crop. On the Johnson and
Greene tracts the trees are ready
to burst into leaf, and those men
are wearing a troubled expres
sion in fear of a possible frost

Appropriations For
State of Oregon
Oregon's representatives in
congress are not laying down on
their jobs and letting Jthings go
by default, as will be seen by the
following amounts appropriated
for various departments. The
data is supplied by senator Rob
ert N. Stanfield, and specifies
what improvements have profited
and the amounts allocated to each:
Federal aid highways-$l,182,-945.
Forest roads and trails $1,.
830,430., ; : 5
Reclamation-fl.COl.OOO. '
Crater Lake-J102, 320. ; r
For the six years -1921-1926
the total appropriations made for
six departments reached the
sum of $32,695,978. For recla
mation projects the total appro
priations have been 59,631,000,
and of thi3 amount but' $1,504,-
;590 have been expended. These
appropriations exceeded by many
dollars the total appropriations
made to Oregon from the time of
its admission as a state to the.
year 1921. t. v . 1 I.
Some Tire Blunder
We are- not infallible, but at
the same time there are some
things' which should -be given
careful attention, and which we
slight Last week we said, in
the advertisement of the Maupin
Garage, that 29x4:40 balloon
tires could 'be had by paying
$23" 70. Everyone knows that
the price mentioned was too high.
What we should have; said , was
$14.20 for that size tires!
Tires are going up, but the
Maupin Garage has a large sup
ply on hand and the proprietors
are making drastic ; cuts on all
sizes. If in need of new tires
now is the time to get them at
reduced prices while the supply
lasts, which will not be long.
Hearts Are Trump
' St. Valentine's Day
St Valentine should have been
substituted for Cupid at this
time of ye.ir, at least should di
vide honors with the little sharp
shooters, for February 14 the day
set apart to do honor to loved
ones, will long remain as Valen
tine's Day. At that time the
swain let3 his feelings loose in
mementos of the day in the form
of tender lines and sweet noth
ings addressed to his chosen one.
To fittingly commemorate St.
Valentine's Day of 1926 the local
American .Legion will noid a
dance in Legion hall. The

NEW PHONE LINE
IS
Proposed That Each Phone User
Take Stock In the Concern .
Meeting To Be Called For Pur
. pote of- DUcuMing Building
New Maupin-Tygh line '
A definite movement looking
to the building of a phone line .
between Tygh and Maupin has
been made by several interested
in the matter. Last week several
patrons of ,the Wamic line met
at Tygb and discussed the feasi
bility of rebuilding the down
Maupin-Tygh line. The Tygh'
patrons seem to be in favor of
the" move, thereby charging
front from their stand of a few
weeks ago. '
A plan has been thought out
whereby each patron1 of the Mau-'
pin exchange, as well as , those 1
on the line to Tygh, Wapinitia
ane Wamic, will be 'come a stock
holder in the new line, the stock
selling at $2.00 a share. It is
the estimate that the new line
will cost in the neighborhood, of
$350.00; there are approximately
275 phone owners on the various
lines, and if a fair proportion of j
these take stock in the new en-1
terprise sufficient; funds would
be raised to defray its cost: : . ,!
If built the line would follow .
the main highway instead i of
crosing the hill hap-hazard. By
building along the main road .it '
would bean easy matter to fol
low its trail in case of.trouble and
would reduce the cost of repairs. -
A man from Maupin and one 1
from Tygh would thave that
work in hand and by careful ;
attention would be able to .keep
the line jn operation at all times.
At present it is almost im- K
possible to get connection with
Wamic through Tygh. The line
is frail and a slight wind raises '
cain with it. - With a new line it
would be necessary to have but '
two switchboards for connection f
with Wamic, and these would be J
free- The Wamic-Tygh line -is
in good shape and the business
of this section demands there be
adequate phone service to all
parts. ; . .;' v:.:S i: :;
Another meeting'will be call-
edin the near future aud the
proposition to issue stock will be
fully gone into. ; !
