ASKS WE PROVIDE MUNIC1PLE AIR-MAIL LANDING FIELD Too Much Fog on Coast Lin D sireut of Establishing Lin East of Cascad Mountain Rang The managers of the air plane mall route, operating between Port land and California porta, are desir ous of changing the route from the west side of the Cascade range ta a route covering the Deschutes canyon, and to that end want towns along that route to provide emergency landing fields. 41 A representative of the company fas in Maupin Monday and broached the subject to some Maupin business Men, and asked that they take the matter of providing such a field up with the' citizens. Too much fog on the west route is given as the reason for wanting to make the change. In case It Is decided to use the eastern route the mail addressed to Maupin would be thrown off here, but no mail from here would be taken. The air mail company says that tetter time could be made and more safetly guaranteed its pilots by com ing this side of the mountains. On this side there is an entire absence of fog and the air is always Clear. From here the planes would hit the Colum bia basin and then follow down that waterway to Portland and from there to the other stations up the Sound. Just Couldn't Stay Away. - It Is said that "a bad penny always returns," also once one has visited Oregon he always comes back. Tho latter saying was proved on Monday evening when W. W. Richmond, who spent some time here last season, and then returned to the, bleak prairiua of North Dakota, blew Into Maupin, being conveyed by a one-lung Ford. Richmond says that since his last visit he has had a yearning for this section, therefore filled the tank with gas, took on a quart of oil and mndo tracks for the Deschutes valley. Visited With Parents. Mrs. G, I. Derthick returned Tucs day evening from Tygh Valley, at which place she visited her parents Mr; and Mrs. C. L. Lofton, from Sun day until Tuesday. The Times' is your paper. The vaudeville features of the en tertainment have been added to from time to time, until tonight, when thu show opens, tho throngs will be entertained by some of the most prominent acts by high-clans artists now appearing on the Coast. Of course there'll be gambling. Whoever heard of a pageant such as the Frolics being pufled off without a few games of chance. But the lucre used on the tables will be of the vintage called "stage," yet will suffice to get a kick out of the games. , Then the dances In the Civic Auditorium. The very best music ob tainable will furnish the inspiration and every dance ever performed on a floor of a public ballroom will be called. Tho program is too long for us to give in its entirety, but we assure Maupin people that if they do not take in at least one night of the Frolics they will have missed the ex pierence of a lifetime. The affair is under the direction of The Dailcs American Legion post, and those fellows never do things by halves. If you possibly can do so, we urge that you forget business and other matters for one night and attend the Frolics. NOT EXEMPT FROM TAXATION Attroncy General Rules Concerning Municipal Corporations An opinion handed down by At torney General Van Winkle with respect to tax-exempt municipal activities is of very general import' rnce in Oregon, where attempts have been made to evade taxation as applying to local electric plants extending their lines beyond the tionB, but maintained for private uses, as contra Distinguished from that used or Intended for corporate purposes, is not exempt from taxa tion under the Oregon statute." Exemption from taxation cannot be maintained unjless it is within the spirit as well as the letter of the law, according to the Attorney General, who says: "When a mu nicipality furnishes public ser vice to its own citizens, and rupplies its ' products to consumers outide of its own territorial bound aries, the function it thereby per forms, whatever its nature may be, in supplying outside consumers with a public utility, is and should lo attended with the same condi tions, and be subject to the some control and supervision that' apply to a private public utility owner who furnishes like service." It u expeted that under this opinion all properties owned by municipal corporations which sup p'.y a vti'Ity service to patroni out side of corporate boundaries, will hereafter be assessed and taxed in accordance with the general rules and rgulations as applied to "other utility properties.

To the Editor of The Maupin Times: The Southern Wasco County fair is now a matter of history, so far as 1927 is concerned, and we all feel we had a splendid lair. It has done us an good, ine weatner wos wtuytoto. between the biz and next toes the exhibits were beautiful, tasteful and rulsttic. The spirit of co-opera- tlon and competition was everywhere ' I wonder if the people of the other communities fee) as . proud of their districts as we do of our Criterion precinct. Altho the altitude is 3100 feet plus, we grow many products which compete with many other sec tions. .Quite a number of blue rib bons, as well as red and white ones were attached to our exhibits live stock, apples, grains, grasses, corn potatoesc, jellies, and canned fruits and vegetables, pickles, needlecraf t, and art, cakes, doughnuts, bread, cat supsds. and so on. It was just a lit tie too early for a display of our mel ons, squash and some varieties of field com. , The school children's club did ex cellent work this year as in the past. Such fine potatoes, canned vegetab les and fruit, pickles etc., and such splendid lambs 1 I am sure they hav9 lived up to their motto: "Make your best better and smile as you go." We work together as far as possi ble and thank all for their hearty co-operution, and hope other parts of the county will try to beat us next year, and make it hard for the judges, for wo "shall run and not grow weary; we shall walk and not faint." .
