The Shattuck store in Maupin
seems to be indexed as an eany
place to loot among that fraternity
who are averse to any kind of lubor
which entails physical exertion be
yond that of breaking in and looting
the premltte of others. Tuesduy
marked the third time the store ha
been entered for the purpose Oi
burglary, but in that instance the
burglar was caught before ho had
" " ' '
und peimtes of Shattuck Brother.
About 5:30 that afternoon Oliver
Rush heard a noise coming from the
loft above the grocery and hardware
sections, lie mined to call the at
tention of Dale Shattuck to the
mutter when he returned from u).
per. Customer drew his attention
and he forgot to mention that ho
Ruspccted someone to bo in hiding.
Later, at 7:00 o'clock, to be exact,
the nobse was heard again by both
Oliver and Bates. The lutter climb
ed the ladder. When he reached the
opening to the loft ho again heard
a nolKennd came down. Taking an
automatic revolver and a flashlight
he went to the loft. Flushing the
light around ho discovered a form
hiding behind a skylight box. He
called to the man to 'shove ,'em up,
and come out,' which the fellow
hastened to do, exclaiming, "don't
shoot, I'm unarmed," Bate then
brought his prisoner to the ware
house floor, where Oliver and Jumcs
Chalmers were waiting. There the
fellow was searched, nothing but a
package of cigarettes and a Bhcathcd
hunting knife being found on his
person. The knife is supposed to
have been tuken from the sporting
goods department of the store.
Uuon Interrogation the fellow gave
his name as J. C. Hazon and his age
a 10 years. No was turned over to
Deputy Sherriff. Joe Kramer who,
with Chalmers' took llazen to The
Dalles and turned him over to the
sheriff. As he camo down the lad
der llazen relieved himself of this
expression! "Well, the rat's caught"
He said his intention was to loot the
store as soon ns it had been closed
for the night.
Store Robbed Short Time Back
About three weeks ago the store
was entered by someone unknown.
At that time the night hawk helped
himself to some canned gooda and
also took what money the till con
tained, about $10.00. That fellow
made his egress from the store by
way of the back door, the fastening
of which ho forced.
Robbed Lait September
The Shuttuek storo was the vic
tim of robbers last September. At
that time severtl pairs of ladies silk
stockings und some suits of clothes
were taken. How the robbers escap
ed from the storo at that time is a
mystery. All the doors were found
locked when the establishment was
opened in the morning and the on
ly theory as to egress was that two
, iron bars in tho basement window
were sprung slightly apart:
It is surmised that llazen is a
member of a truck gang, who has
been robbing stores in other ports of
tho state. , In many instances they
have backed a truck up to tho rear
of the places looted, loaded it with
goods and mado a secure get-away.

Growing cranberries cannot be
called a poor man's game. Accord
ing to the U. S. Department of Agri
culture it is the most highly special
ized of any farm product grown. It
costs about $1,500 per acre by the
time you get your first crop. You
have everything to fight that the or
dinary fruit raiser has to go up
against with a lot of extras thrown
in. Owing to the nature of the low
lying ground on which the cranber
ries are produced Jack Frost is the
biggest enemy that the cranberry
grower has to face. Frost is fought
by flooding the marshes where it is
possible to get water. In fact, a
marsh without a plentiful supply of
water is a very poor proposition.
Smudging is being resorted to but
this workAhas not been carried far
enough at Dellmoor to know wheth
er it will be successful or not.
A large amount of capital has
been invested in this industry in the
northwest in the past 15 years. Like
other new enterprises owing to lack
of experience, cost of upkeep and
and neglect many of the plantings
have deteriorated and a great deal
of money has been lost. On the
other hand, cranberry fields that
have been .scientifically, handled,
like Dellmoor, have proved to be a
fine investment. The marshes at
Dellmoor during the summer months
are a beautiful sight and the public
generally is always made welcome.
In order to help out this industry,
demand Oregon-grown cranberries
of your grocer.

THE DALLES AFTER
NORMAL SCHOOL
Our County Seat's In Front
Runk of Aspirants For
the New Institution
LOCATION LOGICAL ONE
Chamber of Commerce and Citiien
Generally Awake and Working
To Secure The School
Whenever anything of more pass
ing notice is offered Oregon The
Dalles is always first and foremost
in striving to secure that enterprise.
And by this same token whenever
anything is offered a city of Oregon
The Dalles is always after whatever
it is. In this case Wasco' county
seat is making a strong bid for the,
new normal school, which must be
located in some Eastern Oregon city,
according to the dictates of a major
ity of the voters at the last election.
The chamber of commerce of The
Dalles, as well as all influencial resi
dents of that city, are working hard
to secure the location of the new
school at that place. Committees
have rounded up a mass of facts and
figures all tending to enhance the
favorable consideration of the Nor
mal Board of Regents of the state.
The committees have received the in
dorsement of men of influence in
various parts of Eastern Oregon,
and many of them have pledged
their unqualified support of The
Dalles's demand for the school.
Figures already gathered place The
Dalles in the front rank of eastern
Oregon cities available. The normal
should be primarily a state institu
tion, not a sectional one, and its ob
ject is to relieve the congestion at
Monmouth, and at the same time
make available normal facilities for
all of Eastern Oregon. Approxi
mately 46 per cent of the enrollment
at Monmouth comes from Multnom
ah county, and a schol in The Dalles
would draw equally with Monmouth
from Multnomah, Columbia, and
Clatsop counties, . as well as being
easily reached from other valley
counties. The railroad fare from
Portland to The Dalles is only a few
i more cents than from Portland to
Monmouth. : j .
Undoubtedly this condition with' '
regard to the valley ponts will be one
of the main factors in locating the
school, and it is also certain that
The Dalles location with regard to
other Eastern Oregon cities must te
given consideration. No other city of
training and housing accommoda
tions is as well located. This city is
conveniently reached from all parts
of the state east of the mountains,
and with the extreme southern sec
tion of the state taken care of by the
Normal at Ashland, from the stand
point of transportation and accessi
bility, The Dalles is Eastern Ore- ,,
gon's hub city.'
Now that Maupin people, by their
silence have signified no intention
to make a try for the tuberculosis
hospital, we might get together and
do a little boosting for the biggest
city in the county. ' We all know
that The Dalles is the logical place
for the normal school, so why not
show a little friendly spirit and add
our indosement to the others who
have gone down the line for the
school at The Dalles? ,
