Such should be the case next Sun day evening when Manager Miller will offer a full-fire western picture in which Jack Perrin and bia won der hor e, Rex, carry off the title roles. Among the many startling situa tions in the story is a realistic stage hold up, a runaway buckboard, for est fire, Rex breaking into a cabin nnd saving the heroine from the ap proaching death by fire. Added to this will be shown the breaking of he wild hor e and the eventual love it shows for its master. Ethel Clair is co-star with Perrin -nd Rex and they are ably support "d by an all-star cast of well konwn screen artists. The u ua! news rcl and comedy film accompanies the feature picture.

InitalUd New Cabinet The Maupin State Bank recently installed a new document cabinet, as an addtion to the equipment. The cabinet is of steel construction nnd Is fitted with drawers to accom modate all kinds of legal blanks, cheeks, etc. It rest- on rollers and will easily go through the vault door. By placing it 'nearby in the hanking room all documents needed arc brought close to hand, thus sav ing many steps during the course of the day. From Ford Factory Merrltt Wattles and wife, the gentleman being a nephew of Mrs. Wm. Schilling, were guests of their Maupin relatives last week up to Friday. Mv. Wattles was on his va cation from tho Ford automibile factory at Detriot, Michigan, and he and his wife were on their way home when they stopped off in Mau pin. Lecioaairrt Holj Picnic Members of the loeal American Legion post, the auxiliary, friends and relatives held a fraternal picnic at the Tygh Valley fair grounds last Sunday. Quite a number attended and passed the time in congenial amusement. After Medical Treatment Andrew Crabtree and his son, Raymond, went to The Dslles yes terday. The elder Mr. Crabtree went there for medical treatment, he not having fully recovered from a severe spell of illness of a year aaro. Mrs. Griffin Gaining Mrs. E.' W. Griffin, who has been in a Portland hospital ' for several weeks, is on the men dand it is ex pected she will roon be able to re turn to her Maupin home. We are in a o.uandry regarding certain practices of some merchants. While we belive each of the Maupin store-keepers try to sell on as close a mergin as is possible, still there arc come things of which we cannot un derstand,' and this is one" of thentf A certain liquid article sells regularly for 40 cent, a gallon, yet of one wants but a quert he is charged 15 cents for it, thus mrking the gallon price 60 cents instead of 40 cents We fail to grasp the justice in that deal. It does not require es much time to draw a quart as it doe a g,:l- 'on, yet the price soars with pur chases of the smaller amount. Why is it? we ask. Hi-jseking is prevalent on the eastern lake and seaboard. We never suppo ed such tactics would be re-aos-ted to in this neck o' the wood? but it seems that the eastern prac tice has migrated to this coast. Re cently we were told of a certain man secreting a quantity of ' home-made wine, re ting on the faith he would use it himself. Lo and behold, when he went to his cache he was dum founded to discover his precious store had vanished. Maybe it went into the stomachs of certan town fellows; maybe it took a trip to the mountain. . Who can tell? Hitch-hiking: seems to be the chosen made of travel with some peo ple, part of whom adopt that means for the "kick" they get out of it and some who take the chance ofcatching a r ide in an auto in preference to the' old side door manner. Two young fellows left Kentucky the past spring nnd made the trip to Maupin in 14 days. Now they figure on repeating the dope.-thu time going by way of the southern route. Both are athle tic, young and full of "pep." They went to The Dalles on Tuesday, had their shoulders and begin their long trek back to the Blue Graa. State. , Luck go with them, say we. ' The word that came here to the ef-' feet that work had been begun on the Gear Lake dam and that a new company had taken over the works of the Wapinitia Irrigation company "nd intend to prosecute work there on, was like a plentiful rain on a larched desert. Our people are heart nd sonl with ?nv company that wiU supply the needed water on the Flat rnd that the new company is working to that end is taken as being a little millenium. The notice that workmen are en- T?ped in spreading gr? vel on the ' last end of the WapiniHa eut-off and that an attempt will be made 'o keep that htehway open all year 'round mean that more and more travel will go over that road another son and for succeeding seasons. -The new road shortens the distance between Maupin and Portland ap iroximntely that between Maupin, The Dalles and this place, so will be a great inducement for tourist and freight haulers to travel via that "v. NVxt year the new highway will be oiled and given more coats of gravel, thus bringing it up to standard. ' X , A" L.)-t woik we pulled a boner. Not in intent but in the wording of a certain little story to the effect that a certain lady had accepted: employment at the new restaurant adding that by securing her services the re taurant had made a good more." We did not mean to dis parage the work of the former chef, but ried to imply that the last em ploy was a first class cook and that the restaurant was lucky in being able to secure her services, as the former cook, who, by : the way, knows her candy when it comes to preparing things to tempt epicurean appetites, was leaving. However, if the first eoolf feels aggrieved we humhlv hee her pardon and bow their walking' shoes half-soled and this week will sling their packs on our editorial head in deep humility.
