This seems to be the beginning of the adjudication of the water rights and of the rights of those who made contracts with the Wapinitia Irriga tion company. It may be an open ing wedge of a program whereby tho e contract holder may at least secure what they paid their good money for water. Let us hope that something definite may come from the meeting and that at last the de layed development of Wapinitia Plains will gain new impetus snd finally permit those fertile acres to show exactly just what they can pro duce under irrigation.

JOINED IN HAPPY Two Maupin Couple Sealed In Bonds of Wedlock, Both Marriages Occurring at Tho Dalle The marriage epidemic which struck Maupin recently seems to have continued its sway and has taken into camp two couples, each well known to nearly all our people. The first of the recently weddings to be pulled off was that, which we mention under the caption, Wrar Short Dr. W. A. Short, Maupin's popular dentist, and Mr, Jean Wray, whe for npme time served as ckrk in both the Shattuck and Wilson stores, quietly stole away to The Dalles on September 18, and were there mode husband and wife. Of course the happening was anticipated by their many friends but none knew of the exact date, so the announcement, coming at this time, is somewhat of surprise. Dr. Short has practiced dentistry in this neighborhood for many yejtrs. For some time he maintained offices at Dufur, making frequent trips to Maupin, where he worked up a good practice. Upon selling his practice and home at Dufur he came to Mau pin and has since made this place his hendqunrUrs. He la well k.i'.w.i to nearly all of this neighborhood and that he has chosen to take to him self a bride comes with pleaelng as pect to alL Mrs. Short is a relative of the AVrays and Shearers, all well ka ,n here. She originally came from the Grass Valley section, but fo some years lived in. the vicinity of Prine ville. A year or so ago she came to i Maupin and was employed as clerk in the Shattuck store, later accepting a like position with the R. E. Wil son company. While in those posi- 1 tions : he made many friends, all of whom will join in wishing her a long l:fe of rnpiHi.esB with her chosen V it band. The Times extends congratu lations to the newlywcds and hopes their fond dreams may never be dis ipatcd. Kelly Wittman A marriage in which two popular Maupin young people prominently figured, occurred at The Dalles at J 'i' Tuesday, when Miss Doris K'l sdop'ed daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. 1). Kelly, became the bride of Ray A'ittman, son of one of the contrao tors who built the new. bridge. The marriage was the culmination of a romance which began its existence about a year ago when the groom came to Maupin to work on the bridge. Seeming to he attracted to each other at the outset their court ship progressed to such an extent that their marriage was inevitable, jo, going before Judge Phipps of the Vasco county court, they plighted hat troth which means "until death lo them part." The wedding took "lace in presence of Mr. Kelly : and lis wife, both serving as witnesses. Mr . Wittman, as Doris must now ie called, was one of the popular members of this year's Senior class of the Maupin schools. She was active in student affairs and with the younger social set war. a favorite. That she has chosen well in the mat ter of a life's partner all hope, and "ll join in extending felicitations upon her recent step. Rcy Wittman holds a responsible position with the Kuckenberp:-Witt-man Construction company.
