The advertised imokcr given un
der the auspices of the Tygh Valley
High school lint Friduy night In the
new school gymnuiiium. wo one of
the best end muitt entertaining ever
held in this section. At an eurly hour
fan began pouring into the gym and 1
long before the hour act for Login-
nlng nearly every seat wa occupied.
Johnny Williums of Muupin waa re
feree and under bin direction the
boxers went into the fray with on in
tention of displaying their wares in
a clean and sportsman-like manner
a possible.
The first bout wna between the
Radtke "Midget-.," two Ma.ipin
youngsttT who settle their home dif
ficulties with the gloves. The little
fellow went nt each other aa though
of a mind toward annihilation, but
without rancor. They ahowed many
of the older boxer point of the
fight gume and were recipienta of
much appluure and a few dollar
contributed by the audience.
Alva Hammer and Kenneth Webb
were next in the ring. The boy
boxed at 140 pound and went four
round. No decisions were given, aa
the smoker waa purely un amateur
affair but In the minds of many fans
Hammer had the beset of the froy.
Dick Delco, the little jockey from
Wapinitia, next mixed with Howard
Conley of Tygh. The boys were
marked up at 120 pound and their
four round brought the fans to
their feet, ait both were aggressive
and ahowed a great improvement ov
er their meeting at the Muupin Le
gion smoker. The bout might huve
been called a draw.
Two young athletes from the Tygh
Valley school next entertained the
audience. They were Darrel Wing
and Lester Stacey, each tipping the
beam at 120 pounds. Their bout
went four rounds and was a whirl
wind affair. They were evenly
matched and if decisions had bean in
order a draw would have been called.
Lawrence Knighton, Ku pounds,
Albert Hachler, 150 pounds, went in
to the next bout with a de.einiiiio
tion to end each other's existence as
soon as po: Bible. They failed in
their intention and it was a consen
sus of opinion that they were both
good scrappers and should have a
draw. Lawrence represented Tygh
Valley while Albert geu; his mail at
Wapinitia.
Glen Graham of Maupin and El
mer Conley of Tygh Valley furnished
material fur the next bout. Both of
the boys displayed great cleverness
" and were clearly entitled to a draw.
Glen weighed 150 and Elmer was
five pounds lighter.
Bill Padgett the flaxen haired
scrapper from Wapinitia next tried
conclusions with Leonard Chandler
of Tygh. They combed each other's
hair, gyrated around the ring and
gave a fair imitation of just how the
modern prise fight is not carried out
Neither was injured and a draw
might have been called on the bout
Each weighed 135 pounds and went
the limit of four rounds.
. The following bout between Bob
Shepflln of Maupin and Ray New of
Tygh Valley proved a whirlwind
while it lasted. The first round gave
evidence of what might be expected
in case either athlete was successful
in landing a hay maker. In the
second round, after Bob had been
crowded to the ropes and was com
ing to meet Ray the latter reached
out, his glove connected with 1 the
left facial button on Bob, the latter
going to the land of dreams after
receiving the knockout punch
and making a graceful fall to the
canvas. He came out of the dream
after the count of 10, but saya he did
not fully recover his senses until
long after receiving the blow.
The main bout of the evening waa
to have been between "Shorty"
Behnke of Tygh Valley and "Spin"
McClaskey, a husky pug of The
Dalles. The bout was tcheduled to
go six rounds. In the first round,
while the boy3 were crowding each
other to the roups, Behnke punhod
Mae through the ropas, he striking
en his back on a bar.ch arm, pitting
him down and out. He was agisted
to the ring, but was so badly In
jured that he was unable to continue.
Neither boy waa given the bout un-
FAREWELL PARTY TO MAYOR
AND MRS. F. C. BUTLER
Maupia Community Club Entertain
Member and Familiat al
Odd Fallow Hall
Mayor and Mr. F. C. Butler are
about to leave Maupin on an in
definite absence, and to show appre
ciation of the couple the members
of the Maupin Community club gave
a farewell party at Odd Fellow hall
Monday evening.
After the party had assembled at
the hull Madame Chalmers, Stovall
and Temple repaired to the Butler
residence and escorted recipients of
the party to the scene of the affair.
Then N. G. Hedin, in a few well
chosen words, told tho why of the
party and spoke of the feeling of re
gret on the part of all our people
that the mayor should seek other
fields and cevcr his relations with us.
During his remarks Mr. Hedin re
commended that while living in
Portland Mr. Butler should vusit the
meetings of the Oregon Commercial
club and there tell of the vast op
portunities this section offers to
new settlers.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hedin's
talk games were organized, and these
were indulged in for some time, after
which a nice luncheon, consisting of
ice cream, cake and coffee, was
served. Then Mr. Butler thanked
the club members for their thought
fulness in preparing the surprise
party, saying that he always would
consider Maupin his home; that he
waa acquainted with nearly every
one in this part and that if opportuni
ty presented itself he would come
back again and become one of us.
Mrs. Butler has been active in social
affairs of Maupin for many years
and when she leaves this city a gap
in the members of those who make
for the betterment of Maupin will
have been created. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Butler will carry with them the best
wishes of the whole community that
they may prosper and be happy in
whatever place they choose to locate.
TO THE PUBLIC
We wish to express our apprecia
tion and thanks to the people of
Maupin who have so kindly patroniz
ed our Ladies Aid suppers, given at
the Rainbow cafe. We would like
to have you know, too, that by so
doing you are not only enjoying a
supper but are contributing to a
much needed institution. Every
dollar derived from these suppers is
devoted to payment for property on
which it is roposed to build
a United Brethren church. We hope
to continue to enjoy your patron
age at our suppers, baazars, etc.
We thank you.

forced McClaskey out of the ring.
The boys were evenly matched and
it is said they may be brought to
gether again, the next time at a
smoker to be held in Maupin. Baton
Shattuck of Maupin refereed the last
two bouts.
The Tygh Valley High school
treasury was enriched quite a sum
as a result of the smoker and the
dance which followed. The smoker
easily demonstrated the hustling
ability of the Tygh school members.
They recently purchased an old
building renovated the interior, laid
a fine hardwood dance floor, ceiled
the walls, erected baskets and now
have a model gymnasium. And the
best feature of the whole is that the
new gym will soon be paid for. The
The dance held after the smoker
proved to be a pleasant affair, many
devotees of Terpsichore taking ad
vantage of the opportunity and in
dulging in the pastime of dancing.
The Tygh High school orchestra,
than which no better is to be found
in this section, furnished the mu ic
and gave the utmost satustf action to
those who tripped to - the strains
evoked by them.
We take our hat off to the Tygh
Valley High school for the enterprise

pleasure to many people from this
and other adjoining sections to Tygh

L. 0. Wilhelm, Pioneer Contractor
E. WILHELM AND JOB CRABTREE HAVE SERVED OUR
PLE SINCE 1911 AS CONTRACTING CAR
PENTERSSTILL ACTIVE
In order to build up a communi
ty competent carpenters are neces
sary. Maupin has two such in the
persons of L. E. Wilhelm and Job
Crabtree., The former was the
first carpenter-builder to settle in
Maupin, and his residense has been
continuous since he first came to
our city.
Mr. Wilhelm came to Maupin
from Portland, September 25, 1911,
coming as manager of the Monarch
Lumber company, which later merg
ed with the Tum-A-Lum company
now the only lumber dealers in
Maupin. Soon after arriving, Mr.
Wilhelm constructed lumber sheds
and arranged for stock. When the
Shattuck yard waa purchased by the
Monarch he moved the stock to the
buyer's yard and dispensed lumber
to the many ranchers and towns
people in this vicinity until the
Monarch yard was taken over by
the Tum-A-Lum.
He remained with the latter com
pany about one month, when Peter
Kilburg came and succeeded him as
manager.
Our subject then entered the con
tracting business, his first job be-
the erection of the F. D. Stuart
residence. With that job complet
ed he was offered and accepted
work from many others, putting up

homestead four miles southeast of
Maupin and for seven years lived
about here and held down his claim.
During that time he worked five rea
sons on the Frank Fleming ranch,
and. put in some time for the Far
ghers. He later came to town and
had lived here but one year when he
was appointed postmaster for Mau

and never says he h "too busy", to
attend to those who ask him to favor
them by handing out their mail, even
if it is after hours. He is a member
of the Odd Fellows lodge and is a
past grand of the local lodge, as well
at being a member of the Tygh Val

TELLS OF FISHING IN
OUR OWN DESCHUTES
Head Of Malar & Fraak Taekl. De
partment Compare McKensie
and Deschate Rirer
In a story in the February number
of Western puUOf -Doors, Ivy Col
lins, in charge of the fishing tackle
department of the Meier & Frank
Portland store, tells of fishing in the
McKenzie and Deschutes rivers. In
speaking of the McKenzie Mr. Collins
rays that to be successful in that
stream a boat is necessary, and then
goes on to say that oar stream pre
sents an entirely different problem.
Below is what ha says about oar riv
er:
"Here a boat is not necessary, as
the banks are not so brushy and it
is pos:ible to wade along the edge
of the stream in most places; but the
big ones usually lie far out in the
stream, and here again the fisher
man must be able to cast a long line
and drop his fly lightly upon the wa
ter. In some places, such as at the
Kaskella riffle, a gravel bar extends
down the center of the stream a con
siderable distance and this can be l
reached only by wading through swift
water waiit deep or more; but once
this submerged bar is reached it is
not uncommon for a sportsman to
take the limit from this one riffle.
In this stream the artificial salmon
fly and the Flying Caddis are most
often productive of results, although
at times, the Black Gnat or some
other dark pattern proves to be a
wonderful killer."
"THE KID BROTHER" A
SWIFT MOVING COMEDY
Harold Lloyd, "Jester to Tka Mil

Hall Sunday Night
Standing the acid test of exhibit
ors reports throughout the country
for more than a year, Harold
Lloyd's "The Freshman" still rates
as the biggest box office success of
recent years according to a monthly
check-op made by a leading motion
picture trade publication. With a
rating of 89 per cent, "The Fresh
man," tops all other pictures releas
ed around the same time.' '
Lloyd has great ambitions to re
peat this success with his secpnd
Paramount release, "The Kid Broth
er," which is to be seen at the
Legion hall Sunday night
He gave eight months to the mak
ing of this new opus but from ad
vance reports, he is said to have a
winner tnat ww stand every com
parison with "The Freshman." '
"The Kid Brother" is one of the
swift moving type of comedies
Lloyd has associated himself with.
As the youngest brother of a fam
ily of strong men, Lloyd suffers all
the indignities a kid brother invari
bly has to endure. But when the
final test comes, it is this

Mr. Wilhelm 'is a j Michigander,
he having been born and raised at
Saginaw, Michigan. As a young
man he followed lumbering and
later learned the carpenter trade.
In 1889 he came to Portland, and
there . followed his calling, taking
a vacation therefrom several times
to serve Portland on its police
force. His first wife died in that
city long before he came to Maupin.
Here he married agaain, his wife dy

Our subject knows lumber, and
better still, knows how to fabricate
it into as fine buildings as aany car

line is
desired he is always given a chance
to do it.

Looks as Though a Big
Surprise Is Ready
For Maupin
Shattuck Broa. Making Great
Change in Grocery and Hard
ware Part of Store
The Statuck store is undergoing
many changes in interior arrange
ments, changes which are designed
to give customers a better view of
the goods carried. Job Crabtree
has been at work in the store the
past week and under his skillful di
rection the changes are fast assum
ing shape.
Among other changes we notice
the partition running across the
north side of the room has been
taken out and switched across the
south end, thus making an addition
to the store room 20x30 feet In
that part shelves have .been con
structed and these have been filled
with small hardware and harness
findings. This means a great addi
tion to the main grocery part of the
!tore' The 8helyes between that
paruneiit uu uie ury gooas Blue
have been lowered and new coun-
ters erected on the grocery floor,
these being placed in the center of
the room. Just what Mr. Shat
tuck's idea in making that arrange
ment is, we have not learned, but
it is a cafe bet he has somethng in
contemplation that he intends to
spring as a surprise on his custo
mers. The ehange in the room will give
about one-third more space for the
display of goods and will permit
carying a larger stock in the store
proper. The Shattuck store is by
far the largest in this section of the
state and Mr. Shattuck is always
awake to those thnga which will
conduce to the comfort and advant
age of the customers. It is expect
ed the changes will be completed
and the store ready for the sur
prise about the middle of March.
It's coming, so be on the watch for
it

other dates in order to be at Legion
hall and assist the Legion's auxiliary
in putting on a . comedy production
that will exceed anything ever shown
here before. They travel under the
title of "Those Dreadful Twins," and
that they are dreadful only needs to
be present at the hall and see the
many pranks they play and how they
keep their fellow actors in hot water
all the time. A dance will be given
after the play with the Troubadour
Four at the helm to furnish music.
The inner man will also be attended
