He encounters all kinds of roads and weather, but reached the limit on his return trip Tuesday. He says that the stretch of road leav ing Shaniko and approaching the Bakeoven pike is so cut up that it resembles a newly ploughed field. His car thowed that it had ben in some mud when it waa driven in. Another argument for graveled roads. Floyd Ober and Ira Kidder were overtaken by the California bug last fall The urge was so strong that the boya decided to take a trip to the state of gold and tourLts. They hitched up Ira's Ford bug, loaded the tank with gua and hied them selves to California. They landed as far south as Bakersfield, but grew homesick and came back via The DallefCalifornia highway. On the trip back they met a road grader and another car, and in attemptirg to turn out the bug tipped over. Floyd says they wrapped the bug in a shawl strap, righted it and came along in fine shape. Ben Fraley got ambitious a couple of days this week, so put on overalls gra ped a shovel and then proceeded to fill a mixer with cement and grav el. That being done he served as a motor to a wheelbarrow and helpea fill the forms of the walls being built in the shop of the Maupin garage. Billy Heckman has been looking like a mud image the past few days He has been helping with the walls at the Maupin garage thop and his duty haa been to see that the con crete reached all over the rock foundation. As the weather has teen very soft lately Billy naturally accumulated a goodly portion of the dobie carried into the room. This soft weather haa been a good test of our highway. It is caid that portions of the road between Dufur and The Dulles is heaving badly and will have to be rclaid. Between Mad ras and Redmond the pavement is aid to be broken in spots, tufficient to let cars down to the hubs. e suggest that road foremen see to it that proper drainage is effected wherever the road showj symptoms of bre&kng up. A certain young lady was return ing from the store one day this week. Reaching the crossing be tween Webcrg's and the Richmond service station, she i topped in the mud. When she tried to take an other step she left her shoe in the dobie, and before she could regain her balance had steppd in the puddle with her ttocklnged foot. Another argument for clean crossings. Shattuck's clearance sale has been a sort of magnet for bargain seek ers the past week or two. Bates Has cut prices to the bone in all de partments and will continue the sale a short time longer. Now is the time to "buy yourselves rich." If Maupinites do not show some repentance we will be compelled to H .oaa..ae.a.o St Valentine's ANC a i i ! i Marking the opening of the new i Tygh Valley High School ! i Jl . GYMNASIUM Feby 11 acknowledge that the visit of Rev. Turley and wife to our city has been fruitless. Rev. Turley is telling the concrete truth regarding right living on earth and the life to be obtained hereafter, and those of our people who do not let his words toak in to a good purpose are losing a great deal of happiness and passing up a good thing. LULU ESTELLA SAVACE Lulu Estella Savage, born Whit more, was born at Springfield, Iowa, August 7, 13C2, ,and died at The Dalle , Oregon, January 23, 1928, having reached the ripe old age of almost 66 years. When but two years of age she came with her parents to the west, they settling at Walla Walla, Wash ington. Two years later they moved to Silvcrton, Oregon. Our subject was married at Laurel, thh state, to David Savage, May 6, 1879, and came to the Wamic section in 1915. There the husband passed away, his death occurring in 1917. To this union five chidren were born three of them surviving, they being Mrs. Claude Oakerman, Bums, Oregon; Richard Savage, Wamic, Oregon, and Mrs. Julia Pratt, Mau pin. One child died in infancy, the othpr, Mr;. Mabel Witter, being call ed by death at Burns. Mrs. Savage was a friend to every one. Her assistance in coses of nec cessity were always given and her Chri. tian fortitude was the means of softening the inevitable end. She died firm in the belief of a life of happiness in the hereafter and al though her place at the family fire side will be vacant and greatly missed, still those left to mourn may be comforted by the thought that she has but gone before to prepare a meeting place beyond the tkies. SAW DUST (By K. Namara) In thee enterprising times we saw a lot of things besides wood. Dust for example. I bet Buckskin Bill remembers he time he "saw dust." (Bit it too.) Many a Ford driver, unable to pass the car ahead. "taw dust" last summer. (Saw red, too.) my Oh where, oh where have my New Year's resolutiona gone? Oh where, oh where can they be?

The north wind doth blow And we shall have snow And what will poor "Lizzie" do then poor thing? She will freeze up so hard No help to her pard I will leave her at home in the barn, poor thing. ' Statistics show; "Asinine" waa last year's most overworked word. shipped Every Inch a Real Home Is This Colonial Type WANTS BAKEOVEN HILL ROAD MADE EASIER Petition Asking New Crad Pre sented to County Court Shani ko Alto Petition A petition was circulated around town this week asking that the coun ty court construct an easier grade up the Bakeoven hill. This h a mat ter that has concerned ranchers liv ing up Bakeoven for many years, and with the coming of soft weather a new road was deemed imperative. The petition was generally signed by Maupinites and hill residents and was taken to the court yesterday morning. Shaniko residents are asking the court to construct a short cut-off from the Bakeoven road to connect with the Sherman highway, which will mean a saving of considerable distance to the town. They ask that the new road be built and graveled thus doing away with a soft piece oi highway. Evangelistic Program.

The canine ac cepted the hospitality of Mose and made himself at home at the Adding ton domicile. No one seemed to own the collie, so Mose decided it waa homeless. Daid the license fee and seemed secure of ownership. No so, however, for an owner appeared, claimed the pup and demanded its return. Mose complied with the re quest and now is out a perfectly Rood house pet, as well as the three bucks he anted up for the license. ir n i li rin i tt m l i jj music iurmsnea oy rygn m scnooi FIVE-PIECE ORCHESTRA j Mr. Turner Convalescent.

The living-room extends on one side Into the dining-room, set off only by two small china closets, and on the other Into the unroom. The whole effect la one of spa ciousness and hospitality. Another outstanding feature Is the down stairs bed-room, which can be used as sick-room, guest chamber, playroom or sewing room, aa occasion arises. The stairways are compactly arranged and well out of sight There are closets and storage space enough to please the most acquisitive Housekeeper. White, cream or grey paint may he nsed on the siding with shutters, trim and roof In harmoniz ing colors. The walls and roof are made to re sist heat and cold by Insulating with celotex. The cost of building may be kept down by ex cavating only half of the house, taking care to Insulate the nnexcavated half with a layer of celotex In order to heat the house easily In the coldest weather. A farther saving may be effect ed by finishing off the walls of the second floor rooms with celotex Instead of lath and plaster. Left either plain painted, stained or finished with a dainty stencil such walls are extremely effective and durable. , CeloUchnlo Institute, Chicago, 1921 :1PPJ '-, I iJNoloOtfiq REDUCED PRICES ON Winter Overhauling will continue through the month of FEBRUARY We are now alto prepared to do all kinds of ACETYLENE WELD ING.
