No Games Scheduled
The manager of the Stubble Jump
ers has good reason for feeling dis
couraged at the prospect of continu
ing mnking games for Maupin. The
attendance, has not been up to ex
pectations nnd as getting outside
teams herecost3s money, there is, a
good chance for a deficit In the op
crating funds. While the Maupin
team has been playing a good article
of baaebnll they have not been ac
corded the patronage deserved,
therefore more games may not be
scheduled until the' Fourth of July.

making of a summer resort, the lo

for that enterprise. There is a fine
stream meandering the tract and a
fine living spring also contributes
to the value of the place.

it turned turtle, throwing the oc i
cupants, Guy Metcalf, W. E. John-1

ing Metcalf alighted on his head
and face. He received a severe cut j
across the forehead and nose, laying !
the- scalp open end loosening his J

received a four inch cut across the

unscathed, "
The men were picked up by a
passing auto and brought to Maupin.
Dr Elwood was aroused and he min

Saturday morning Max Moore,
traffic officer ' working between
Eagle Creek and Portland, came to
Maupin and took the wrecked car
to Portland.
The injured men -say the rock
which caused the car to veer was
evidently left there by some auto

car while making tire repairs. That '
Is a common practice and one which
shoyjd be stopped. On nearly
every grade in this section such
rocks may be seen, and if not re
moved prove a menace to life and
property.

things that way, so he loaded the
men into a car and brought them to
Maunin. Mr. Connolly says he will
import shearers from Idaho before
ho will be made the victim , of ex

1 DON'T SHED UNDIES : .v
! 'TIL SUMMER, SAYS ROOPER
Sage of Antelopt Telia of Crop Proa-
peett In Hia Section Prico of
Whoat Liable to Soar
In a private letter to the editor of
The Times, H. C. Rooper aays,
among other things?
I saw in a recent issue of your
weekly dispenser of facts and wis
dom that it was time for is person to
trade off his red flannels or their
modern substitute for B. V. .,D's.
That may be fit and proper advice
in the Deschutes canyon, but to us
living two or three thousand feet
higher up it is altogether too pre
vious. Fifty dgrees in daytimes and
frost two or three times each week.
No.. Sir.. ..The, old adage-says, "TiJ
May is out, ne'er cast a clout". This
abnormal season we amend to read
Jnne. By that time the said red un
dies will be worn so thin they will
substitute for the usual summer gar
ments fof the few days of hot weath
er between that and fall. ' Take an
old timer's advice and don't hock
your overcoat and keep your winter
underwear within reach for quite a
while yet. I have seen four inches
of snow fall here in June. As the
sport section says, "Believe it or
not!" . . '. '
' Notwithstanding the cold, back
ward season, the prospects for J a
good wheat crop in this neighbor
hood are very promising. That is,
wheat and rye. Hay crops not so
good, and the range and pastures
have been below par, but Improving.
The lamb crop is lighter thin last
year and from what I hear, the wool
crop is about a pound less per head,
while the present price is discourag
ing. We all have our troubles.
Some folks believe that McNary and
Haugen can pull them out.(?) But
it looks like $1.60 for wheat Cat
tle are skyrocketing, fruit is going
to be scarce and high. Even the
ropo sheepman is going to pull thru,
if he does only get 28 or 30 cents.
We in Oregon have lots tc be
thankful for.
Well, here's hoping
the newsier has, too, and that
your delin- 'int subscribers are pay
ing up better than
Your obedient and humble servant,
H. C. ROOPER.
P. S.: I always find time to glance
over The Time3 and thank you much

Cleudhurtt on Flat.
Upper Juniper Flat . W3, visited
Tuesday afternoon by a real old
fashioned cloudburst. A huge' vol
ume of water was spewed from th
clouds and the roads in that section
made impassable for some time. Sev
eral trucks, engaged in hauling road
building supplies, were either held
up by mud or were forced off the
road into ditches. One of the Rich
mond trucks was marooned near
Bear Springs by the softness of the
road.
