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. Aid Society of the U. B. church Dance at Shady Brook After several months of inactivity the Shady Brook hall will be opened for a series of spring dances next Saturday night at which time a dance and supper will be served. The local Troubadour Four will furn ish the music and everything else done to make the affair pleasant for all who attend. der the circumstances as no blow 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 chown in providing an evening of pleasure to many people from this and other adjoining sections to Tygh Valley. Maupin's Postoffice Indexes a Snbstantial City Business MAUPIN'S POSTOFFICE IN CAPABLE HANDS OF B. F. TURNER CAME HERE AS HOMESTEADER AND WORKED ON RANCH SEVERAL YEARS APPOINTED P. M. IN 1919 When a town the s'ze of Maupin can show a postal business of better than $30,000 into eight years to bt reckoned as being one of the wide awake ones of the section where it is located. Maupin has such an of fice, which Li presided over by B. F. Turner, who was first appointed in 1919, he receiving his appointment October 1 1 of that year. He succeed ed Mrs. Ida Canfield and at once be gan to make our office a city one. During his tenure in office Mr. Turner has sold rtamps to the amount of $20,503.67 and has filled out money orders for the amount of $145,000.00, a total of aproximately $105,603.67. The Maupin poctoffice handles about 600 pieces of mail each day, or about 220,000 pieces tach year. Mr. Turner has added may fixtures to the equipment of the office. About five years ago a rural route was established for the patrons of the office and over which mail is carried to Juniper Flat That mail is a six-day service and J. C. Pratt is the efficient mall carrier. Two years ago another route was insti tuted out of the local office, this time being a star route with the car 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 among other buildings, the Shattuck LEGION HALL Sunday Night, March HAROLD LLOYD iv-'.t in "The KID BROTHER Haruld g'ets the horse laugh!

Upon arriving he went to a 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 pin. Mr. Turner is most accomodating 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 ley Encampment, a higher branch of the order. He has a fine residence at the east end of Deschutes avenue and is the proud father of a bevy of popular daughters.

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 lion," Will b Sera at Lagioa 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 "youn 'un." same dence, barn, machinery and stock shed, tower and water tank, pump house and other buildings for Frank GabeL These a are but slight mention of building Mr. Wil helm has done around here. 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 ing March 11, 1922. Our subject knows lumber, and better still, knows how to fabricate it into as fine buildings as aany car penter in the state. His work staands as a monument to his ability and whenever work in his line is desired he is always given a chance to do it. (Next week we will tell about Mr. Job Crabtree.) Went to Portland R. W. and E. R. Richmond went to Portland lart Thursday for the purpose of looking over a truck with an eye to buying such a vehicle. While there they called upon Floyd Richmond, who has lately branched out for himself in a service station and storage garage. He had but just gotten his gas pump to working, aa the man he purchased the plant from was dilitory in fixing it up, as he had agreed to do. ' They come home Sat urday night 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 DONT FORGET THE TWINS They'll B. At The Legion Hall Tomorrow Night Yes, they're coming. . Word has been received from those mischeviouo infants that they have cancelled all 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 to in the shape of a fine supper served by the Auxiliary ladies. WILL CELEBATE CHANGE IN GARAGE MANAGEMENT Kramer Bro. To Give Free Show and Dance at Legion Hall -On March 10 Kramer Bros, will formally an nounce their acquisition of the Til lotson Motor company's garage . and business by giving a free show and dance at the Legion hall on Saturday night, March 10. The affair will be in the nature of a get acquainted dance, at which time all thoce who are interested in the new Ford cars and trucks will be given an oppor tunity to make such fact known. A full showing of a good film story will be made and after that the floor ! will be cleared and all who care may indulge In a dance. Everything will be free, which fact should insure a full house.
