YOU can start at Mau pin and go to any place on the earth Vol. XII Maupin, Southern Wasco Couuty Oregon, Thursday, February 11, 1926 No, 14 MAlill 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 My China Doll" 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 ! the tender grass on the range so beiran crowding her to the bottom failed to get up her l)ack was broken.

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' torial office and Jay H; Upton is 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 We Correct Our Dates telephone exchange would be closed all day Sunday, when the real time of closing i3 that the office will open at 8:00 a. m. and close at 12 o'clock from April 1 to October 1, when the exchange will be open evenings from 7 to 8 p. m.

Edidemic of Flu We are told that there seems to be an epidemic of flu on the Wapinitia Plains. Nearly every home has the malady in , some form or 6ther and reports of new cases come in every day.

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.

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. ; !
