When first constructed the ho tel wax equipped with a lJelco light system, but after the construction of I stories in height. He tlso built the our power plant the IKlco light wa. J Fi chcr garge. When he had com supplatited by juice from the genera- j plctcd hu residence he realized the ling plant. The hotel also contains two fine bath rooms, cue on each floor, besides adequate toilet facili ties. The hotel was opened February 23, 1917, it the being under the manage ment of T. W.

Many Garden, More land will be dovoted to gar dens in Maupin this year than ever before in the history of the town.

"Morrow, his father-in-law, at White Kiver, and when that job is done he will go to the Willamette Valley for ' the summer. one thing that conduces to the popu larity of the hotel. Mrs. Caton is an excellent cook and the running of the dining room falin upon her shoulder:, and such is the way she c.jries her load of responsibility that it acts as a magnet to draw trade to the hotel. No one ever came to the Hotel Kelly after meal hours and were refused to be served. No matter what hour, tho.e desirr ii.g meals are always iven a chance to "put their feet under the table" and given as good a meal an was served at regular meal hours. And this is done with a cnii'.e, which goes a long way with the travelling public. L. D. Keily, the ov-ner of the ho tel, pioneered in making East Mau pin a town. He decided to settle in that part in 11)12, at which time he purchased 18 city blocks from W. II. Williams, who home.tcaded the site and who laid out the town; ite. Mr. Kelly erected a rppcious rcsi di nee, it being 28x39 feet in size, with a full basement, and being two ncce sity of a water system. He engineered the construction of a G3,0U0-gallon reservoir high on the hillside, dug a well on ne river bank 12 feet deep, 16 feet long and four feet wide. He erected a windmill and augumanted this with a gas en gine, and pumped water to the tank on the lull. Mr. Kelly aaw to it that every house and besines. place in East Maupin had vater piped to it. Last summer Mr. Kelly, after several year's litgation, tueceeded in securing adjudication of water pri vilege from the Staats springs laid a pipe line therefrom and now the East side enjoys the ianie fine spring water aa does the W'st side of the river. Mr. Kelly is owner of considerable other property on the East side. He has a nice little ranch a short dis tance up Bakeoven, a'fo in owner of the building occupied by the Fiachcr garage. He hes been fore most in every enterprise tending to advance his town. Was one of the orginal company which took over the Balfour-Guthrie grain ware houuse and was in,trumcptal in hav ing that house added tc and made capable of hanJling a large part of the grain crops of this section. But aside from his other enter prise:, the one thing-which tends to keep the name, Kelly, before the public, is the hotel, which he, in his foresight, built and contributed to make it one of the mos,t reliable and popular, inns in the State of Oregon.

RAILROADS VS. TRUCK LINE Agent Griffin Take Iue With Th ' - Time Relative to Delivery of Goods Maupin, Ore. March 2kt, 1928. Editor of The Maupin Times, In your issue of March 15th., you carry an item relative to the Port land The Dalles Maupin freight truck line which is bringing freight in from Portland and The Dalles three times a week. In the second paragraph of this item you state that "hi; firm" (Mr. Carl Spicker man) is seriously considering add ing another truck to the line, and soon would inagurate a daily service. Under that agreement Maupin busi ness men who order freight shipped from Portland one day may have it the next day, this being a great ac commodation to those who are in a hurry for goods" I ?ee absolutely no advantage here in point of service as for "much quicker delivery" this certainly is in error if, as I under stand, the truck service reaches Mau pin from 2:00 to 3:30 p. m. or later, As compared to the above service please note the following: The S. P. & S. Ry Company ac cepts freight at both their east and westside freight sheds, Portland, Oregon, up to 4 o'clock p. m. daily with the exception of Saturday and Sunday; no freight accepted on Sun day, and on Saturday freight is ac cepted up to and including 1:00 p. m. and all shipments received up until above mentioned hour are for warded the same day, reaching Mau pin at 10:00 a. m. the following day. Note difference in favor of O. T. delivery. The Oregon Trunk Ry., also has the "iced refrigerator car" service for handling less than car load ship ments, two times each week, out of Portland, which becomes effective on or about May 1st. a3 in former sea sons. Incidentally the tax payers of Was co county who read The Times might be interested to know that the S. P. & S. and Oregon Trunk Ry's, ac cording to Oregon state reports paid taxs in the amount of $43,884,69 in Wasco county for the year 1626. Respectfully,- - E? W. -Griffin, . Agent, O. T. Railway. Gone lo Fore,t Re,erv In a letter to The Times Jack Staats, who has ppent the winter at Baton, requests that his paper be sent to Lewis, Washington. Jack will go to that forest reserve and put in the cummer in that service. He worked there part of last season and this year will be engaged in super vising trails and constructing new ones.
