Many Flocks Lambing' The Times man accompanied Art Fargher to the lambing grounds of the Fargher flocks Monday. Scattered over the hill side were lamb3 beyond count, and more are ex'pected from now on' until the season is over. Mr. Fargher said his firm expects an increase of about 2800 lambs this season. They are of two breeds Rambou lette and Delaine, the former being the course wool kind while the Delaines are producers of the finer grade of wool. The Far gher3 have contracted their mut ton lambs and will retain their fine wool 'ones. As soon as the shearing is over they expect to drive their flocks to the moun tains, where sufficient feed dur ing the dry months may be pro cured. Other sheepmen in this locali ty are having, as good luck in increases as have the Farghers, and flock increases are prov ing satisfactory to all sheep owners. To Our Subscribers Last week we sent out let ters to our subscribers "who are delinquent on their sub scriptions. We would not have done this, but as .we are desirous of printing a better and larger paper, fqpnd it necessary to remind delin quents and try and get in enough money with, which to add to our equipment. So far we have met with but few re ponses to cur.Ietters. We want to install a type setting machine, newer, faces of job and advertising type and other things that go to make a first class print shop. We feel that The Times is as much the people's as it is ours. We are merely publish ing it in the interest of all 'the people of this section, and if the people hereabouts desire its continuance they will re member the little string at tached to their letter, then fill out the accompanying check, and thus liquidate their back subscription. We do not like to remind people of their indebtedness, but there are. times when such a procedure becomes neces sary, and this is one of them. If you have receipts show ing you have paid since the data 4n - the letters,- please bring them in and we will make corrections. All we have to go by is the books we bought when we took over the business. Trusting another reminder will not.be neces sary, we are, Yours for a bigger Times, , Semmes & Semmes, Publishers.

John nie is a favorite with the travel ing public, and being on the job at his place of business means much more trade therefor. ''- Will Build Residence Mrs. Lucile Cantrell, teacher in the Maupin school, will have a modern residence constructed for her at The Dalles this season. Peerle Temple, carpenter-contractor of Dufur, was in Maupin Monday conferring with Mrs. Cantrell regarding plans, etc. Hauling: Highway Posts The contractor who is setting guard rails along the highway, has a truck employed in hauling concrete posts from the factory near the White River bridge. The truck hauls about 50 posts at a load and is taking them out past Criterion. .' , ' . Nature's Wonders Viewed Far Under Surface of Ground Our announcement in last week's Times of the discov ery of a steam spouting volcano up the river, caused consid erable comment and speculation regarding the real nature of the eruptive nature of the subterranean steam boiler. Sun day morning John Foley chaperoned a party composed of Jim Woodcock, Bob Wlison, Jack Staats and The Times man, up the river on an inspection trip. Upon reaching the volcano the party i separated, each going in a different direction. The editor remained near the crater, and took pictures. lie was aroused from a reverie by a shout from Jim, and upon looking around saw that worthy, with Bob and Jack, gesticulating wildly. The editor hurriedly joined ledge of rocks he ftas shown an scorned to lead downward, ' By united effort the hole was enlarged. Then ensued a confab. Bob insisted he had for gotten to deliver milk to certain customers, Jack, of course, had to go with him. Jim expected a Simnasho Indian in with a loud of wheat, while'Foley remembered a rail bolt j that needed tightening. The to get out some bills for the school play that day and thot he had better get back to town. Foley relieved the tension into the opening first. He procured several bunches of old, greasy waste from the speeder. He lit one of these and entered the cavern, followed by his trembling companions. After creeping a few yards the explorers noticed the avenue was getting wider and the ceilings higher. Presently they entered a chamber seemingly as large as the Portland stadi um. 1 he walls reflected the examination prov party proceeded around the room and the far end entered a thoroughfare leading downward. Traversing this for quite a distance the Maupinitcs entered another generous cham ber. The light of the torch seemed to dim. The room was flooded with an etheral light which seemed to emenate from the roof and to penetrate the bodies of those who had in vaded the sanctity and quietness of ages. Through this room and another passageway, the now intrepid quartet proceeded on the way. They estimated the the distance of the last lap to have been a half mile. At end of that hallway they entered another naturally lighted cavern. Here wonder gave way to awe. Stalactites and stalagmitic festoons, each radiating prismatic colors, scintil lated and gleamed like the fruit-jewels in Aladdin's garden. While the men were examining the wonders of the cav ern a resounding crash with accompanying concussion pros trated the members of the party to the floor. When the editor recovered his faculties he found himself on the floor beside his bed. He dreamed the above story and is printing it so he cans say April fool? How Much Water Have You? v - , THERE have been many inquires and much agita tation around Maupin in thematter of just how much water is necessary to irrigate an acre of , land during a growing season. It is the common be lief that one acre-foot of wateris sufficient to irrigate one acre of land. Let's figure it out: : According to local authority the State of Oregon al ' lows one.eightieth of a cubic foot per second or one second-foot per acre running continuously during the irrigating season. There are practically 160 days dur ing the irrigating season in this part of Wasco county. This means that 1-80 of a second-foot of water flowing 160 days is equal to, two second-feet of water flowing one day of 24 hours, or two acre-feet per acre per sea- son he fair amount allowed by the state. According to the water master this amount is necessary to ade quately water land this season. If farmers , have paid $60 per acre-foot for water it means they will pay $120 for water for one acre of land. Where's the profit? If the above is true, it's worth consideration the others.

Mr. Clark issues a platform in which are several planks similar to other aspirants'? ideas and makes a plea because of past perform ances and work done for the republican party of Oregon, be should be elected to the seat now occupied by Bob Stanfield.

The latest addition to his already large supply of in struments is a Campbell X-ray machine. This is the last word in such machines and is being installed by R. B. Smith, repre sentative of the H. G. Fischer & Co., Seattle dealers in surgical instruments. Dr. Stovall has fitted Tip a room at the rear of the drug store as an operating room and the new machine, with reclining chair and folding operating table, makes an ideal place for the in tended purpose. Family Gathering Twenty-four members of the Hackler clan gathered at the i home of Mr. and- Mrs. Emil ; Hackler near Wapinitia ; last! Thursday and indulged in a family reunion. Mrs. Hackler had prepared a sumptuous dinner and at the table the 24 relatives proceeded to do justice to what was set before them. Miss Albertina Hackler, assisted her mother in serving the dinner. Maintains Average In Hogs In last week's Times we men tioned that sows on the L. C. Henneghan ranch had averaged eight pigs this year. We should have gone further and said that that average had been main tained for the past three years, instead of . for this year only. Art Gutzler is managing the Henneghan rauch, and it is to his knowledge of raising and feeding hogs that the high aver age was made. The Times is $1.50 per year. i r-7 !
