INSTALLS FRICIOAIRE OUTFlf Rainbow Reitaurant Ha Lateat In Cooling Apparatu Ben Fralcy has just installed one of the well known Frigidalre cooling apparatus in his Rainbow restaurant .The new arrangment has a capacity of 40 gallons of ice cream at one time, beside room for a large num- ber of soft drink bottles. There arc 'eight compartments for ice cream, i As an ice makng machine it will freeze 17 pounds of ice every three hours, althoutth it is not designed especially for such work. The Friiridaire refriitcrator will maintain a temperature of 40 degrees in the box proper and from eight to ten degrees in the ice cream compart ments. t The machine is operated by a one third horsepower motor, and a liquid is forced through a system of coils, which lowers the temperature. This is one of the few such coolers in any town between The Dalles and Bend. MAUPIN'S l NEW BANK OPENS From The Maupin Monitor of July 18, 1914 We visited the Maupin State GREAT seems to us quite favorable. j The officers, J. M. Conklin, presi Monthly dent, J. S. Brown, vice-president, and F. D. Stuart cashier, are direc tors also and with the other two di rectors, F. S. Fleming and D. M. Shattuck contitute an organization or workers tnai win iena commence . . a and stability to this new bank, The new bank building twenty four by fifty feet in Bize has thu roof projected for a porch, the porch being suported by large col umns giving a very pretty effect to the exterior of the building. The interior we found even more attrac jtive, and much larger than we thot i it would De. ins counters are oi heavy oak with marble base. The grill above the counters are of oak frame filled in with pebbled glass and metal scroll work. - The other furniture matches well with the fix tures. A commodious fire proof vault furnishes protection to books and papers as well as safety de- posit boxes which are rented to pa- trons. The safe is the New York. Manganese Steel Safe of late pat tern and largo size. Its weight is 4470 pounds and is. the kind that has never yet been opened by bur glars. We congratulate the people of the Maupin country, especially the bank and patrons on having such a finely officered and appointed in stitution. Snodgrat Driving New Ford.'

Tobacco Users Ma Have To Stand Additional Price Watch Stat Stamp Maure or Pay More For Smoke One of Governor Pierce's pet measures looking to the raising of the revenues of the state is the one which seeks to require all merchants selling cigarettes to place stamps thereon. The measure calls for the affixing of a lc stamp on all pack- ages selling for less than 10c; a 2c stamp on every package selling be- tween 10c and 20c; a 3c stamp on 'every package selling between 20c .and 30c, and lc additional for each ; extra 10c. Time was when one could buy a . package of paper smokes for a dime, ' but war conditions raised the price ! a nickle. With the stamp law : operative the little sedatives will cost at least 16c per package, and of course, the consumer pays the ' tax. Another thing worth considering is that the law would open to Ore- gon a flood of mail order business on tobacco, because this state cannot tax dealers outside of the state. Mail order houses therefore would be enabled to undersell local dealers, to their , Aliment The measure imposes a heavy fine upon dealers neglecting to affix stamps on all the cigarettes they sell. The cigars people smoke are not to be encumbered with the additional stamps. The matter of the enactment of the law is in the hands of smokers. If they neglect to vote against it, thpn thpv must nav the freight 5n th ' . . t. fiHHiHnai vit. teen cents is plenty to pay for a package of any kind of cigarettes. ; Sixteen cents to 24 cents is an im position and those who look at the mattcr in this light have the remedy in their own hands vote against the measure and put it into the discard at the coming election. Not "Elligible" In addressing a paper to a Port land subscriber last week we failed to nlainlv stamD the house address.

GilL in which he states the attitude of those who fath ered the so-called "Housewives Hy dro Electric referendum measure to be on the ballot this fall. Mr. Gill is one of the men proposed to be on the commission in case te voters fa vor same at the polls. His letter fol lows Editor Times: I am informed that you reprinted the Oregonian's satire on the House wives Council amendment of the Oregon constitution providing for the development of electricity and irrigation projects. Since that arti cle misrepresented many of the facts about the measure, and I am the "Housewife" Frank M. Gill therein referred to, I am writing this exposi tion of the amendment The Hon. Dan Kellaher is not its author, nor are any of the other four of us. . About four years ago the House wives Council, incorporated, of Port land, began an investgation of muni cipal ownership of water power de veloped electricity. When they had gathered their data they went to ex Congressman Watkins, Mr. Richard son and other eminent attorneys, and had them prepare this measure. The Housewives Council were the sponsors of the recall of the public service commissioners a few years ago. They are a group of self-sacrificing women? about 35 in number, who are wives of workingmen or men of minor professions. None of them are wealthy. They secured the sigatures to the petition by their own solicitation without the use of paid circulators. They ' requested the five of us, whose names appear in the measure, to allow ourselves to become the nominees for posi tions on the board to be created by the measure. None of us sought the nomination. The board has power to construct hydro-electric plants, transmit elec tricity and sell it at such a price as will repay the cost with interest in not to exeed. 30 years. It may buy an exsting plant provided the sale price does not exceed $500,000. It may develope irrigation projects under the same terms and condi tions. It may reserve water from appropriation except as it provides. It may make agreements with other states, or the federal government, with regard to water. When a plant is developed for a jcity, or a dstrict, for its benefit, that municipality must assume the obligation and repay the cost in a period not to exceed 30 years. The same rule applies to irrigation pro jects. It provides a fund sufficient to en able the board to carry out the pur poses of the act the credit of the 8tate may be Pdged in a sum that 908,1 not exceed five Per cent of the assessed valuaton of the state, iThe funds ar secured bV the sale of bonds, sold at such times as the money may De aciuauy neeaea. i In order to establish the work j J250.000 is appropriated from the general fund, to be repaid out of the first money received from the pro- iects In order to protect against a possible delinquency in the pay ment of interest on bonds tke board may borrow from the state moneys to meet the delinquency, paying 6 per cent interest Mr. Kellaher has beep state repre setative, state senator, member of the Portland city council, and is a successful business man.
