bu Ines. The merger detail were
completed aome week ago but the
deal wua not given publicity until
the latter part of last week.
' In the deal Bob Wllion will take
the place made vacant by the resig
nation of Tom Gallnghcr, who hnd

The Wilton atck will be moved
to the bigger store at once and when
that U done the Wilson company
will have paacd into history. The
consolidation will have the effect of
greatly increasing the capacity of
the Shattuck store and result in a
greater bushes.
R, E. Wilson came to Maupin in
1930, and purchased the W, II.
StalnU mercantile and store holdings.
In 1924 he acquired the Harpham
hotel building and fitted it up with
tor fixture. From , that time to
the present hia company has enjoyed
a fair share of the merchandise busl

MAUPIN'S DAY AT TRACK MEET
The Cup it Permanent Pettottion of
Maupin School
Saturday wau a fairly good day
for the track meet. In th morning first base in base-bull, and won lcU
th sun made things rather ,'warm"'tr both in 'basketball and football.
for awhile but toward evening the ,
wind cam up and a slight drizzle
damped tho ground but not the
spirit of the large crowd which
wittnesscd the meet
Due to the condition of the track
no unusual mark were made in the
running. Kenn cleared a gap of 19
feet, 4 inche in th broad Jump
but could not excel hi 6-foot 3
inches. In the 4iigh jump of "last
year. He won tbe baseball .throw
by a tafe margin and placed in the
mile and half-mile as well. The
Javelin likewise fell to him. Este!
did some good sprinting, winning
his 13 point in running.
We especially, admire the ease
with which the boy, Fowler, front
Mill Creek won the class B raws!
The boy from Antelope certainly
had grit and' endurance In the mile.'
The High school won 73i points
while th grade,-, brought 29 for
.the Maupln school. Andrew was
high point man in class A with 21
points, Kenn second with 14, Estel
bird with 13. v. '
Mr. Groncwald presented the cup
which is now a permanent posses
lion of this rchool. Our boys re
ceived the basketball banner while
the Molser girls took the girla pen-!
nant ' Chenowith-Rowena-Mill
Creek were entitled to the grade
school pennant. The baseball throw'
was not awarded but will be when
the season Is over.
An odd incident about the relays
waa that the boyc lost every one,
and even the stick in class A, and
the girls made five point for the
school by winning eats relay in each
division respectively.
Track Not
Maupin divisions B, and C at the
track meet took-mor point this
year than ever before. Bonny Dun
and Bill Slusher were high point
men. 'Bonney-made eight points
and Bill made five for the Maupin
team. ' i
; The girls gave a good account of
themselves and placed in all B girl
events. They took first in the re
lay; Genevieve Allen was second in
the horseshoe pitching, and Bethel
took third in the seventy-five dash.
The relay team consisting of Irene
Woodcock, Genevieve Allen and
Betty Slus,her easily won their race.
The C girl relaying team, con
sisting of Aliene Wilson, Lena Tur
ner, and Dorothy Greene, easily won
their race. - '
Next year's C division among the
boys will thow up better; they were
slightly under the size of their op
ponents. -

MANY ESSAYS IN PREPARATION
I saw Mt Hood against the twilight
gloom,
Aloof, serepe and cold,
Trailing a scarf of snowy bloom
Transfused with gold.
Above the gorge, thru domes of
: parkling green,
He crowned the fleeting view,
And mid the cool, calm grandeur of
the scene,
. Somehow, I though of you.
- Edwin T. Reed
Mr.' Hedin through his apprecia
tion has associated himself in . the
minds of the . students with Mt.
Hood. His. words have impressed
upon the students the value of Mt
Hood to this district

"BILLY" HERE SATURDAY
A SCORPION
(By Bo Wil on)
Recently a peculiar "bug" was
brought to the science class. It was
about an inch long and looked vty
much like a small crawfish because of
Its1 claws but is had eight legs and a
long slender tall with a hird fork on
it It late? proved to be a scorpion.
Scorpian: live by catching and
killing sluw, beetles and even small
miee and- shrews, as they grow t0 be
eight inches long in tropical regions
Thej kill their food V holding il
in 'their claws and stinging the vic
tim with their tail.
A scorpion sting will be painful
but it will not kill a person unless
he Ms very weak. 1 The young are
like the adult when born end do

DEPLORES MILE-RUN
BY BOYS IN SCHOOL
TRACK CONTESTS
Hedin Say They're Detrimental to
Health of Participant-
Logical Argument
Should the High schools of Wasco
county sponsor a mile run as a part '
of the annual track meet? We hear :
"es and no.
I believe we should not, for the re a-
;on that runners often enter who are
not In mile-run condition to stand the j
:rind of this strength-taxing race. !

aers but all must get their studms or
m.:. The reason, as aee it, t..i
vevents proper training for mile
mn,-. is simply a tax on the good stu
lent'g time in which to get his les
ons and perhaps to help some at
home. Many students, in turn, have
'ess time for the long training abso
lutely required to run 'the' route.
Young Hunt of Maupin has never
'ieen the same ir ince his run last year;
young Woodside and Bronner, both
f Wapinitia, broke all to nieces after
he mile and half-mile grind. Thev
H had the stuff but were only half
trained, thus they were punished f-
structora who urged them on in
irder to win points for their dis
rict' score, not maliciously but not
i good judgment when the best in
se ts of those fine young men and
ther are understood.
Young Durmon of Shaniko and
Vlexander of Maupin were surprises
t the recent 'meet If they are not
ijured "by that run 111 be 'Still more
