Building Auto Park W. II. and 0. J. Williams have been busy for some time con structing an auto park on the Williams east side plot. The residence was moved to the rear, the lots leveled, water pipes in stalled and as soon as possible several cabins will be built. It is 0- J.'s intention to move ,his sevice station to site on the cor ner of the park, thu3 making it handy for patrons of the park as well as tourists. All that's holding the opening back is the starting of the grass on the bijpr lawn. When completed and ready for use the park will fill a long-felt need in Maupin. Electric Lights For Tygh The people of Tygh will soon be enjoying the benefits of elec tric lights and power, as the company operating .the plant down White river has completed a Burvey of the town and has a force of men at work setting poles and getting . ready for stringing wires and wiring . buildings. It is thought every thing will be ready for turning on the juice in about three weeks. More Hogs Shipped J. W. Davidson and C. E. Alexander each shipped a car load of fat hogs to the Portland yards Saturday night. They went over the Oregon Trunk. A knocker is a mortgage on his home town, and every other citizen is paying interest on him. Shattuck Maintains Lead as Champion Fisherman Last Sunday Bates Shattuck and wife and Oliver Resh journeyed to the river above Nona. They whipped the rapids and when they counted their catch round they had lifted 56 fine redsides from the Deschutes. Monday Bates filled a washtub with ice and on top placed Uhe catch. The fish .were from eight to 16 inches in length, and the display made . showed that so far as size goes, the old "Iflver of the Chutes" still holds to its reputation of being the premier trout stream of the world. "Revenge Is Sweet" When it comes to retrieving as baseballists the above head ing is most apt. It applies in this instance to the baseball game played Sunday by the Mau pin and Culver teams. Two weeks previously Culver took Maupin down the line for the long end of the score, but in the last game Maupin took Culver down by a score of 14-4. Lester McCorkle occupied the box for the Maupinites for seven innings, when Standley Wood relieved him. In the two frames worked the younster showed real pitch ing ability, striking out three men and. allowing but one bats man to reach first base. Don Miller officiated behind the mask and caught his usual snappy game. Many people from here accom panied the team and indulged in a picnic "lunch on Ihe baseball grounds. Maupin Legion team plays at Grass Valley next Sun day and a great many have signi find an intention to accompany them. Sabbath School Organized The United Brethren Sabbath school was organized last Sun day, Mrs. C. W. Semmes. being cnosen as superintenaeni; airs. 11 W. Richmond, assistant sup erintendent; Mrs. Alma Rich mond, treasurer; Lelah Weberg, secretary; and Helen Weberg, organist. Teachers will be chos en by the members of the various classes' at the meeting next Sun day. Sandblast For Senator L. B sandblast ha3 announced his candidacy for the offiice of U. S. Senator for Oregon. His platform is an original one, the chief plank of which is "jnodifi cation of the Volstead act and referendum of prohibition laws." He takes as his slogan, "wine and beer under government con trolno saloons. Let the true will of the majority of our citi zens always be embodied in our laws." He is a republican and will make the fight for the office on the BO-called "wet" ticket. A Good Man Goes Wm. McMurray, for years gen eral passenger agent for the Un ion Pacific O. R. & N. railway system, passed away last" week. He had resigned his position but a short time before passing away, the resignation coming as a re sult of a severe spell of illness. His successor has been found in the person of Mr. C. J. Collins, who comes to this section from the east. Mr. McMurray made a friend of each man he met and his loss is not that of the railroad company alone, but of the whole people of the northwest. MAUPIN ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE Monday was the 107th anniver-', lary of the founding of the 1. 0 0. F. order, and to fittingly ob serve the day the members of Wapinitia lodges of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs held a celebration meeting at the Lodge rooms that evening. There were in the neighborhood of 100 present. A program, consisting of the fol lowing, was rendered: Address of welcome J. M. Griffin. Talk .on Fellowship R. W. McCorkle. Song-Mrs, W. H. Staats.. : Reading-D. W. Talcott Reading Mrs. R. H. Kai3er. Story H. L- Young. Reading Roy Ward. Song-J. C. Pratt. Story-H. R. Kaiser. v Reading Grace Chalmers. Speech-H. R. Bell. Instrumental music Geo. Mc Donald. W. H. Staats. Reading Mrs. Margie Stuart Reading Noble Grand B. F. Turner. Song -Mrs. R. E. Wilson. Reading Daisy McCorkle. :s Burning of Mortpge R, E.1 Wilson. , . r j Vocal duet Jessie and Daisy McCorkle. The outstanding feature of the evening's program was the burn ing of the mortgage, held against the lodge building. R. E. Wilson, after a short talk on the early history of the local lodge, placed the document on a server and the trustees who signed the se curity then applied matches to the paper. They were Dee Tal cott, Charles Crofoot, Roy Crab tree. This cleared the property of debt, and with its consumption the members feel that the lodge may now turn from saving money for the obligation against the property to assembling a fund for various enterprises of moment to the order. Rufus McCorkle's talk on the history of the order was educa tional and interesting. He re viewed the inception of Odd Fel- lowshipand carried its growth down to the present day, quoting! Help Uncle Sam Prevent Sparks Spark A compound essence of fire fury, compressed into the smallest possible space. Usually found in cigarette stubs, matches, and neglected camp fire?,. Forest Fire A very large and disasterous result from a little carelessness. Great fires from little matches grow. , The fine art of being a safe camper consists in being "dead sure that EVERY spark is out. Before leaving your camp ground, take an inventory to see that you haven't left anything- sparks of fire, for instance, or Camp rubbish. The man who puts out the last spark generally acquires the re putation of being a good woods man. : : People who live in wooden houses shouldn't throw cigarettes by the roadside. Every time you throw a cigar ette out of the car, say to your self, "Here gbes another forest fire" and don't do it. What the Trees sang: ' "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, If the loggers don't get us, the cigaretts must" statistics which showed that Odd FellowBhip stands today among the largest and strongest fra ternal secret societies on earth. F. M. Griffin of lone,' an Odd Fellow of 30 years' continuous membership, told of the pre cepts of the orders. He said that if all the members would live up to those teachings there would be less discord and more harmony among men. Wapinitia Lodge I. 0. 0. F. j was organized at Wapinitia in August, 1908. It received its charter the following year. In the year 1916, the lodge was transferred to Maupin. The mpmhpra met fnr a fotvvagra in I the Donaldson hall. Then, hav ing a few hundred dollars in the treasury, it was decided to erect a building to ba. devoted to the work of the order. A lot at the corner of Deschutes avenue and Second was purchashed and the construction of the building be begun. It was necessary to raise money with which to com plete . the structure, therefore the mortgage, which was de stroyed at Monday night's meet ing. At present Wapinitia lodge has an active membership of about 80. This story would not be complete without men tioning the presence of. one of the charter members, U. S. Enderby of Wapinitia. In a few words he told of the organization of the local lodge and of the trials and tribulations encoun tered' in forming and keeping together the membership of the youn lodge. ' The Rebekahs organized and applied for a charter in 1910, the ! charter being received a year later. That auxiliary has done its share toward clearing up the indebtedness of the Odd Fel lows and also has been an in centive for the "chain gangers" to grow and make the heading order in Maupin Its present membership is about 90. At the conclusion of the pro gram all adjourned to the lower floor where a sumptuous banquet was served. Fires and Save Forests Flashes After, seeing some deserted campsites, we apologize to the city dump for having said any thing about its appearance. It is easier to put out fire in the bowl of your pipe, than when burning over one hundred and sixty acres of timberland. It would be a fine thing if the people who throw cigaretts from automobiles could spend a day. figKting forest fires. Be sure they're out, then go ahead , campfires, cigarette stubs, matches. When you leave your campfire, sing: "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'." A safe campfire is rather to be chosen than great catches of fish. A friend who let his campfire get away now refers to himself as a finished camper-says the judge did the "finishing" with a lecture and a fine. Don't start anything you can't finish forest fires, for instance. The trees of tomorrow are seedlings of today. Safety. Put out the last spark. Recommended for smok ers and campers.

Wil son received the sad intelligence of the death of his brother-in-law, Frank Willis, which occurred Tuesday' evening at a Portland hospital On April 19th Mr. Willis noticed a slight abrasion on one of his toes.
