RICHMOND IS VICTIM Ot HIT AND RUN CAR DRIVER Cf Forced lata Ditch by Pasting Motoric Nearly Every Occupant Injured R. W, Richmond, his wife and daughter-in-law, Mn. . R. Rich ' mond, war badly injured on the ' Columbia highway about 13 miles tai t of Moiler on Sunday when " their car wan forcad into the ditch by a panting motorist. Mr. Richmond's venilon of the oc curance Is substantially as follows Ha was driving at a llcsurely pace, following a string of six cars, with three more behind him in sight , Several of the loading cars were fighting for leadership, whllo one or two of the following drivers at tempted, to pass the Richmond car. Mr. Richmond gave him plenty of room, but the driver wanted the whole of the road and forced the Maupln cur Into the ditch. It went down about ilx feet, the impart bending the front axle of the car and threw the occupants forward. Richmond was jammed against the , door, his face striking the frame, sustaining several lacerations while his back was badly wrenched. Mrs. Richmond was thrown from the back scat into the front seat, her knees striking the back of . same, badly skinning them up. She also received a severe shaking up. Mrs. Everett Richmond's back was wrenched, so badly that It waj thought best to leave her at Tha Dalles hoipital for observation when the city was reached. The ladles and children were picked up by C. E. Collicott of Portland and brought to The Dalies, R. W. Richmond being taken to that city by a man from Spokane. Everett Richmond went to the scene of tha accident on Monday and brought the wrecked car to Maupln. Floyd Richmond was called from Portland and he arrived hero Mon day morning. He was taken ill that evening and was very sick dur ing tha night Mr. Richmond stated that the drivers of other can were jockey ing all along the road fof position. He hung to the extreme right sido all along the way, and when the car which hit him came along he was forced to give all the road, thereby going Into the ditch. That none of the Richmond party did not sustain more serious injury is al most a miracle. The one bad fca Uure of the affair, aside from tho injuries received, was that tho driver of the car which forced tho Maupln man off tho road did not stop to ascertain whether or not anyone was killed. He sailed along at a rapid rate, not even resigning to look back. ' GREAT WASTE IN ADVERTISING Woman Buyer Read Newspapers For Baying Information This is the age of advertising. Business could not get along with out it Vet many Merchants wartc a large share of the money they think they are spending for adver tising and wonder why they do not get better results. Women do most of the buying for the home. Now, did you ever see a woman go looking over the bill boards, or reading the movie screen advertisements in order to make up her. mind what or where to buy? Does i he get her shopping informa tion, from a threater program or a telephone directory? Not on your life. Outside of the store itself, the best and almost the only way to at- ' tract a prospective customer's at tion to what you have to sell is thru the newspaper that goes into the home. The rtorc that advertises adequately and persi tcntly in its local newspapers has no need to waste money on the. other Inferior mediums mentioned. DR.

Everything at the new plant worked as it should and the transference from . one plant to the other was made without an appreciable difference in the continuation of the current. f Work on the new plant was be gun in 1926. At that time the big springs which supply the water which runs the turbine were cleaned out and concreted. Last season work on the plant began in earnest. A building 24x30 was built, 1260 feet of 20-inch pipe laid and some machinery installed. The pipe line has a fall of 260 feet, which is suf ficient to insure plenty of power at all times. The equipment of the power plant at Oak Springs consLts of an Allis-Chalmers generator of 220 K. W. capacity, and S. Morgan Smith turbine of 825 horsepower, this be ing equipped with a modern Wood ward governor. A General Electric switchboard was also 'installed. The building is of concrete con struction and built to.lart In constructing the power lines 2260 pounds of No. 4 copper wire were used. These were strung on a pole line containing 115 poles. The substation, which is located in Maupin, consists of three ?5-K. V. A. transformers, which reduce the current so that it meets up with tha furnished by the "old plant. ' The first plant of the Maupin power company was contracted in 1924 on the banks of the Deschutes river. A water head of 190 feet was obtained by damming the over flow from the city springs, thus forming a large pond. This was connected by a pipe line 640 feet in length and of 16-inch ' diameter. The plant is equipped substantially the same as Oak Springs plant. With the growth of the; town and the consequent addition to the num ber of power users, the old plant was found to be too small to supply the demand upon it With the new plant in operation to Maupin power company now has one of the most complete and modern electric plants in Oregon, It is the intention of the com pany to extend their current into the country, and this will be done just as soon as ranchers signify a will ingness to co-operate and assist in building a line exttending over Juniper Flat going to Wapinitia and possibly to Wamic. The cott os such an enterprise in consider able, the new line with equipment, cost of construction, etc.,- reaching a figure representing $35,000. Al ready Otis Chastain, Richard John son and H. M. Greene have arrang ed to have their places wired ready for juice from the new . plant. They are but a starter, and when others realize the great benefit de rived from the use of electric cur rent they too, will want lines con structed to their ranches and homes. Visited Homestead Chas. Crofoot and family and Mrs. Jocob Marine, Mrs. Crofootfa niece, went to Madras on Tuesday for a look see over Charley's home stead ranch near that place. They returned yesterday.
