ly to the advancement of grain

Was Some Fish
Thursday witnessed the open
ing of the 1926 fishing season.
Following his usual custom Sam
Brown hied himself to the De
schutes in the vicinity of Nena
creek. He unlimbered his rod,
threaded his line, affixed a spin
ner and proceeded to fish. He
made one cast with a negative
result. He cast again and was
rewarded by a vigorous yank on
the line. He attempted to reel
in, but no use. The Toad at
tached to the line refused to
budge. Sam got his dander up.
He braced his feet, took a new
hold on his rod and began to
heave. By degrees he worked
his catch nearer the bank. He
visioned a husky redside, but
when he caught sight of his
prey he called to Julius Shepflin:
"It's a Bhark, help me land him."
Julius gave one look, then to the
bank for his. Sam took a new)
hold, set his teeth and heaved.
He was rewarded for his efforts
by bringing to the bank a gigan
tic Dolly Varden trout. At first
guess Sam and Julius placed its
weight at about 100 pounds. Up
on weighing it after it was
dressed the scales showed a heft
of about 11 pounds. The trout
measured 32 inches in length and
its head was 11 inches in circum
ference and the mouth had an
opening 6x9J inches. Yes, It
was some fish.

Messrs. Stovall, Woodside and
Hunt New Stockholders
Ban Very Prosperous
At the last meeting of the di
rectors of the Maupin State
Bank a change was made in the
personnel of the institution. J.
M. Conklin, heretofore majority
stockholder, disposed of 100
shares of his holdings, retaining
but 50 shares for himself. Part
oftho3e shares were taken by
the present directors and W, E.
Hunt, Dr. Lawrence Stovall ' and
Dee Woodside were alloted the
balance. There wa3 no change
made in the officers, those now
serving win remain until tne an-
1 i m .
nuai meeting at tne ena oi the
year- " "
The Maupin State Bank is one
of the soundest financial institu
tions of Oregon. While it has a
capital stock of but $25,000, and
thi3 being paid in, its statement,
printed elsewhere in this issue of
The Times, shows a healthy busi
ness. In the ' column ; of assets
$183,884.08 are shown. There
are $87,272.61 in demand deposits '
in the bank and the sum pf $28,
771.95. representing time and
Savings "deposits on its books.
The banking house, furniture ana
fixtures are listed in the assets
as having a value of $8,500,
which is conservatively placed.
This bank, while not ultra con
servative, still does business in a
manner which protects its deposi
tors at all times. Its officers are
awake to the needs and demands
of this section, and are ready to
advance capital to any worthy
applicant. It numbers among its
directors, and stockholders men
who understand business meth
ods from every angle and who
! are ever watchful of the deposi
tors' interests.
! ' The'new stockholders will add
to the already popular prestige
of the institution. They are
j numbered among our most pro
gressive business men. and that
they have become holders of
stock in the bank shows the
faith they-entertain regarding
Maupin and the surrounding
territory.
Nearly A Million Quit
The Department of Agriculture
last week gave out the statement
that 901,000 left the farms of
this country in 1925. In 1924
182,010 quit and went" into the
towns and cities. The estimated
farm population at the beginning
of this year was 30,650,000.
The Department states" that the
loss was general in all sections
of the country. It was most
signicant from the fact that
the population of the'; nation is
.increasing .over one 'million a
I year.
Installs Oil Tank
Joe Kramer set up a new
"Vizo", curb oil tank Tuesday.
The tank is supplied by a buried
receptacle which has a capacity
of 285 gallons of oil. The top of
the arrangement is cylindrical
and made of glass, thus showing
just how much oil has been run
into an auto tank.
