MAUPIN-On the De schutes, the Home of the Rainbow Trout nrnrwi yOU can start at Maa- pin and go to any place on the earth .ivu Vol. XII Maupin, Southern Wasco Couuly Oregon; Thursday, July 8, 1926 No. 35 MAUPIN SIIANIKO, BELLE OF WASCO Once Center of Cattle and Sheep Industry Now Grain Market Not Flaunting Pristine Glory but Advancing With Timet City Pronpf roiuly Progressive Through the courtesy of K. L. Hauscr The Times man was en abled to visit our neighboring city of Shaniko and make ac quaintance with some of its people. Arriving at the termi nus of the road which carries steam cara to the town, we made hualc to visit the dining room of the Columbia Southern hotel. There we were served a meal which not only surprinod our stomachs but our pocketbooks as well, for the meal was one of the beat we ever sat down to, and cost but little money. The Columbia Southern has just been taken over by F. M. Keller, who, for the past four years, has been carrying mail be tween Madras and Ashwood. The hostelry is modern in every respect, of brick construction and three stories in height Un der the management of Mr. Keller the hotel will be kept at o high standard and will retain the excellent patronage it enjoys. Hauser then took us to the Shaniko Farmers elevator, a modern concrete building with capacity sufficient to handle all the grain of the section. This business is under the managc ment of Charles Werner, who is one of the most enterprising and progressive citizens of Shaniko, Mr. Werner issues a "Farmers' Exchange Bulletin, "wherein is listed a large number of articles the ranchers have for sale. As Shaniko has no newspaper the bulletin meets a demand and covers a largo field. By the way, ( . readers of Tho Times may ex pect to be regaled with news from Shaniko from the pen of Mr. Werner, and we are safe in saying that news from that sec tion will be served up in the best manner, for Mr. Werner surely knows his stuff when it comes to putting ideas on paper. If you Shaniko people desire to let the outside world know what you are doing phone or tell your news to Mr. Werner and he in turn will transmit it to The Ti mes for broadcasting. Gavin & Wheeler conduct the largest mercantile institution in the city. They carry a general line of dry goods, groceries, hardware, it fact all goods de manded by such a hustling com munity as the one in which their establishment is located. We had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. G. II. Reeder, who has conducted a harness store in Shaniko for a number of years. Mr. Reeder is city clerk and al so serves 'in the same capacity for the school district. His stock covers everything, demand ed by ranchers in the way of harness and when it comes to making or fixing harness Mr. Reeder is pastmaster at the work. One of the soundest banking establishments of Wasco county is that of the Eastern Oregon Banking company, . the only bank in Shaniko. Located in commodious quarters in the hotel building, officered by men who have the confidence of the ' whole section, capitalized at a U. 15. Church Sponsors Musicale Tonight The Maupin U.

By the way, when you visit Shaniko and feel the need of a little cool refreshment, step into Allie's soft drink emporium. The proprietor knows how to cater to the desires of travelers and home people and his goods are as fresh as it is possible to have them. Hs handles a variety of articles, as well as bread and pastries, papers and magazines. Allie is on, the job all the time and he makes a pleasure out of serving the public. Shaniko has two garages, each of which maintains a repair shop and employs competent mechan-1 ics.' They also, deal in auto sup-1 plies and accessories, as well ts supplying garage room for auto storage. The Moody warehouse is an outstanding edifice of Shaniko. That institution handles its share of gram grown around the city and city and supplies the ranchers with things usually carried in an up-to-date grain warehouse. Shaniko has a telephone ex change, : which makes con nections with all outside points. It is located adjoining' tne post office and is in charge of the postmistress of the place. W9 did not have time enough to call on all the business men of Shaniko while there, but prom ise those we missed to be there as often as we can and then we will give space to those we miss ed this time.

He ran it down on the hill west of Maupin, got his tools and and drove back (carefully observ ing the proper speed limit on our thoroughfare.) New Sidewalk Ben Fraley is putting in a new cement walk in front of the Rainbow restaurant. The side walk will not only be a great im provement over the gravel walk which it replaces but will add much to the value and appear ance of the property. Visiting Friends Rev. J. I. Parker of Manor, Washington, former U. B. minis- j ter at Wapititia, with his family, was in town Wednesday, visit ing friends. His son. Oren will remain in this section and work for Dee Woodside during the harvest. Rev. Parker intends to visit friends at Wamic and The Dalles before returning to his home at Manor. Started New Combine T. B. Slusher started his new Case combine Monday afternoon. A short run was made for the purpose of loosening up the ma chine. Mr. Slusher reports that grain is turning out better than was expected, the hot winds and late frosts not injuriing wheat as greatly as was thought. Read the Maupin Times i,:;l X V ?r. All v- Some Bakeoven Wheat While on the way to Shaniko last Friday The Times man was shown a field of wheat, grown at j the head of Bakeoven, which for stand is hard to beat. It is on j the K. L Hauser ranch, which is, being farmed by Elmer Brown. We went to the field and into the growing grain. The straw is fully four feet high while the heads are long and well filled. The wheat is Turkey Red and Hr. Brown estimates that the 100 acres will yield fully 20 sacks to the acre. Geo. Mallatt has an other field on the same ranch, and his crop promises equally as good as the one first spoken of. Local People Made Hit Two local ladies who appeared on the program at Tygh Valley on Sunday were recipients of much favorable comment on their numbers. Mrs. R. E. Wilson rendered a vocal solo and the vast crowd present raised to their feet at its conclusion. Miss Winifred Kaiser in her mandolin number was loudly applauded. Miss Kaiser seems to be destined to make a shining mark as a mandolin player, each time she appears in public showing vast improvement over previous ap pearances. Odd Fellows Install Last Saturday night the semi annual installation of officers was conducted by R. W. McCorkle, acting district deputy. The fol lowing elected officers were in ducted into office: Noble. Grand-Carl Pratt. Vice-Grand-O. F. Renick. Secretary E. R. Richmond. F. D. Stuart, financial secre tary is a hold over, therefore that gentlemen was not among those installed in office. Housewives Preparing Goodies For Winter It's true that we can buy most everything we eat, from our milk to our meat, in cans, and pos sibly from the standpoint of the new bride who was too busy love- making to learn how to cook, canned goods are a blessing. But ask the Maupin housewife who has been married long enough for. the novelty to wear offandshe'll tell you that one great American art that is never going to be lost is the art of home-canning. She will have any number of arguments in favor of not letting it die out, too, and one of them will be that no matter how big commercial canning plants may be, how many people they em ploy or how fine the quality of fruits and vegetables they use, it never tastes like home-canned stuff." And is a general rule the family will side with her. Then, too, she will explain that by using the products of her own fruit trees and garden she can save money by doing her own canning. And, finally, she will convince you that she is a be liever in prepardness, and that by having a closet well-stocked with home-grown goodies to be used during the long winter days she will always be prepared should company- drop in unex pectedly. These are only a few reasons why the home-canning custom is kept alive and they are good ones, too. So good, in fact, that the girl who wants to be sure of pleasing a husband and making a good housekeeper should, now that another canning, season is here, set about learning how it is done. Subscribe For Your Own Listen to a classic print-shopj fable, says the Dyer (Tenn.) Reporter; Once upon a time a nickel-nurser sent "his kid to borrow the neighbor's paper, and the kid upset a hive of bees and soon was covered with bumps. His father ran to help him and caught his chin on a clothes line and sprained his back and fell and broke a twenty five dollar w?tch. The clothes pole fell over the car and broke the windshield, and mother, rush ing out to see what occasioned all the excitement upset a five gallon churn of cream into a basket of kittens, drowning all of them. The electric flatiron Durnea through the ironing board while she was out of the kitchen, setting fire to the house and the firemen broke all the windows and chopped a hole in tne rooi. ine Daby ate a jar of pickles and got cholera mor bus, and the doctors out was $15.00. The daughter ran away with the hired man during the excitement, the dog bit a neigh bor's kid and the calves ate the tails off of four night-shirts on the clothes line.

The Ore gon Voter has summarized the tax levy and the figures adduced in that journal say that Maupin will have to raise $8,812. This means a percapita tax of $41.48 for which a mill tax of 51.6 will be the levy. Phone your news to The Mau pin Times, CELEBRATION GOES OVERJtVITH BANG Promoter Plyler ProvicSss Pleasure For South Wasco's People Business Men Optimistic While Prospects Are Brighter With Each Succeeding Day The celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the great . American republic has passed into history and with its passing memories of the cele bration of the event at Tygh Val ley will remain many years. C. M. Plyler, who staged the big time, put in many busy houra lining up attractions for the event, and when the gates were opened Sunday morning a long line of cars were waiting to make entrance to the fair grounds. Before noon it was estimated there were 2000 people on the grounds and these were augment ed by hundreds more by evening. The race program was pulled off according to schedule. The addressess by Bert Haney and I. L Patterson were listened to with rapt attention; the other numbers, as well as the fore going, receiving the plaudits of the vast crowd. ' To make special mention of the program of each day would tax our space to the exclusion of all other news items. therefore we will but generalize. The Cortellos dog circus proved a winning card, while the acro batic and contortion work of that company was such to insure a full house if ever shown here abouts in the future. The seconddaywas" a repiti- tion ,of the Fourth. ' The sports . program went over in one, two, three order; the ballyhoo stands attracted the usual crowd of "players," while the ice cream and lemonade stands, as well a3 eating stands, did a land office business. The picture shows were witnessed by hundreds and the dancers enjoyed themselves in the new pavilion for many , hours. To Mr. Plyler should be ac corded the well merited congra tulations of all who attended the celebration. Ke was ably assist ed by several well known south ern Wasco county gentlemen, but it was through his initiative and fearlessness that the celebra tion was made such a success. As we said above lack of space and the fact that our type is set by hand precludes an attempt to say all we would like about the celebration. Mr. Plyler. The Times, with hundreds of others, takes off its editorial hat. to, you; we appreciate your resourceful ness and bravery in assuming the responsibilities of such an under taking as the one just ended, and ! promise all the support possible should you ever again assay a like obligation. Drives Off Grade Two Portland men, whose names are yet unknown, drove off the grade leading to Criterion Sunday. It seems that upon,; nearing ' the top of the grade some part of. the steering gear; broke on the car : and before it could be stopped, went over the ' bank. The driver suffered two ' broken ribs while his companion, was cut by broken glaas. The car was not injured beyond re pair as Verne Fischer fixed it up as good as new,
