FARMERS AGAIN OFFERED GOLD BRICK SWINE PLAN Spanish Priioner Hoax in Different Form Said to Ba worked in East am Oregon Look OmI Tho old Spanish prisoner hoax, the three shell ifcime and the glit edge swine raising scheme are three con fidence games that are constantly killed off only to appear elsewhere in all their glory. Only six months ago the animal huithundry depart-1 nient of the state college broadcant a warning that the swine raining pro moters were ''at large" in two east ern Oregon counties, yet similiar gentry arc now reported at work In another county in the state. The plan asi presented sound ' pluuuihlo enough, an the promoters agree to sell a pure bred brood sow j I'oribidi rably above the market price o a fanner who in turn may sell all he gilts from the first two litters nek to the company ut $.'15 each. The catch comes, say legal authori ie, in that several loop hole;, are eft fur the company but none for the jirmer. As soon as the scheme was exposed ant spring, the promoters at work then faded away i uddenly, one man leglecting toettle a hoted bill. The new ones reappeared in a county where the county agent was being changed, hence the farmers' "watch lug" was temporarily absent. LEG BADLY SCALED IN VAT J. D. Malhewt of Whita River Meet With Aceidnet While assist ing in h.itehering h;gs at tuc New ranch on White River to day J. I). Mathew. had the misfor tune to get one of his legs badly cald'd.

His leg was iklnned, nearly boiled, from the inkle to the knee. lr. Elwood wss ailed and astended to the wounded member, leaving the patient as com fortable as po sible under the "cir "ii instances. RESH IS NOW SOLE OWNER Hurt Balei Shattuek't Interest In Grocery and Market A deal whereby Oliver Resh be come olc owner o the 0. P. Resh & Co. grocery and meat market, was made ns of November 20, and now Mr. Resh will expand in several di rections. When Mr. Shattuck pur chased the interest of Mark Stuart in the business the name was chang ed to O. I', Re h 4 Co., and that name will still be used bh a business director. The company under the new ownership will be represented by Mrs. Resh. That grncery and meat market is enjoying a better busines than at any time since it was started by F. C. Butler. That business was built ip by handling only the best goods ind by couteous treatment in all leals. That the new company will nro.per is a foregone conclusion, for both Mr. Resh and wife are thoroughly convo :ant with the busi ness and being well known will hold Present trade and gTaduaJly acquire more and more customers. The Times welcomes the new firm nd wishes it the very beet success it all times.

Kramer, Dr. L. S. Stovall, Bates Shattuck and J. H. Woodcock is at work on plans for a community Christmas tree for Maupin. Several citizens met Wednesday evening and the matter was taken up and discusr ed. Some seem to be in favor of having a tree in the stree, at cither intersection, while others incline to two trees, one at each intersection. In either case the tree will be finely decorated with colored electric lights tinsel and other things which go to make a tree attractive. Ju t what will develop will be made known in next week's Maupin Times. INSTALLED NEW FURNANCES Shattuck Store Insured Against Cold By Improved Heating Plant The Shattuck store is now heated by two improved Montag furnances, which are guaranteed to keep out cold and to keep the store at an even temperature at all times. A- furn ace has been installed in the front, in the grocery side, and another at the rear, immediately in front of the office. These furnaces are aute mat.ically controlled a thermometer causing an electric switch to be thrown against the front draft, closing same, and at the same time opening the top draft. When a cer tain tcmpeture has been reached the control works in the oppodte direc tion, opening the draft and closing the top. Fine Welding Mr. Schilling, mechanic at the Maupin garage, has proved that he knows about all there is to know about acetylene welding. Recently we had occasion to test his work on an intricate part of our lineotype and the job he did was as smooth and secure i it was possible to make it. There have been acetylene welders in Maupin but Bill does not have- to take his hat off to any of them or to anyone else or that matter. BOY SCOUT CHAPTER NOW ORGANIZING NAUPiN Scout Esecutivo Belcher Active in Seoul Movement Dr. Stovall Choaea Scout Matter A number of Maupin men met at the directors' room of the Maupin otate bank Monday forenoon and. with County Scout Executive W.

Boys who are alive will want to get into this troop and that on the ground floor, and then go up thru rcouting together. There is much to learn in the matter of scouting, and those who enlist in the movement at the start will have an advantage over those who join later. Interested men in Maupin and the surrounding country are back of the movement and big things are expected of the new troop. A monthly visit and un limited mail service is promised by Mr. Belcher, who has his head quarters in The Dalles. EZRA MEEKER, 97, PASSES BY Pioneer of the Weit Closes Trail Monday Evening One of the orginal trail blazers of the west, Ezar Meeker, 97, closed hfo life's trail Monday evening at Seattle, after an illness which cover ed several weeks. Born in 1830 he lived in the middle west until 1852, when, with his wife and a company of argonauts, he trekked to the practically unknown west Here he made his home and here his heart ever inclined. He was of that sort of pioneer to whom work was a pleasure. He assisted in opening up Washington's fertile acres and was instrumental in causing many peo ple to adopt this part is their home. He died as he had lived square. Looking for Work P. J. Olson and son drove through Maupin ycterday from Eugene, be ing on their way to Shaniko, where they will seek employment. Pete said that his chicken venture at Eu gene did not turn out successfully ao he hoped, and that, aside from that, he and his family longed for the smell of the sage of eastern Oregon, therefore he determined to come back and may locate hereabouts. Truckman Now Celrking Louis Mayhew, whose usual occu pation is piloting a GMC truck about the country, has decided that a more sedantry occupation is better than facing the wintry elements, there fore has accepted a po:ition as clerk in the Resh grocery store. Louie is taking hold of the work like an old hand and is acquiring a dexterity in wrapping up groceries wonderful to, behold. Adding t0 Heating Plant The Legion members have decided that their ball has been inadequately heated with but one stove, therefor have added another heater, having had a chimney built near the ront. With the new heater the hall will be kept in a more comfortable condi tion then formerly.
