Tho trouble Is wo have tbreo or half a dozen well meaning but misqulded old women of both exes up there who would like to ice the town lines." conducted on puritauloal Redmond 3 fen In Portland Interview Declare Reformer Retard Growth of Town, Which Should Have Three Thousand Inhabitant. Ex-Mayor H. F. Jonca of Redmond made the following statements In Portland last Friday, as reported in tho Orcconlan: "This fellow Dillon came to town looking for trouble," said Jones. "I suspected him from the start and de cided to see what bo was up to. So, one night when I learned of a 'little freeze-out game I sat in. I didn't seo any money change bands and I couldn't learn what Dillon's game was. It was that hand of pokor that Dillon reported to the Governor and It was his evidence concerning that game that caused my arrest and conviction. I have appealed the case to the Circuit Court.' Jones, as well as other leading citizens of Redmond are not so much concerned over his own personal intorest In the situation there as they are over tho effoct that tho "roform" agitation Is likely to have upon the business of the commun'ty. They declare that "the activity of the '.holier than thou' element Is driving investors away." Redmond la a town of 1200 people. They point out It should have at least 3000 inhabitants. Constant meddl ing with conditions that effect busi ness, they say, has dwarfed tho city. Rodmond is In the center of one of the most productive regions in the Northwest and Is destined to bo great In spite of the agitators, they declare. ' "The morals of tho town aro good today and they always have been good. For that matter they ore no better today than before Jones re signed," said one of the men yester day. "Wo never had open gambling and don't have it now. We had no undesirable women at tho time tho Governor threatened to send the TROUBLE OVERJEW SCHOOL letter in Mctolltis I'nper Given Views on Madras Fracas. Tho following letter reprinted from the Metollus Central Oregonlan, shows that tho creation of tho now union high school at Madras was not as universally popular as generally understood In the southern end of the county. Vanora, Ore., Aug. 4 M , Metollus, Ore., Olr: Thinking that I know tho attitude In which you people stand regarding tho Madras union High School schomo I tako tho liberty of writing you of how such election was tried to be held hore yesterday (a farse from begin ning to end) in this dlstrlre No. 49. The meeting was called for 1 o'clock but was not going (nover called to order nor objoct of meeting stated) until 2; IS p. m. and no selection of election officers was mado and tho school board assumed tho authority of election officers and two tellers were named (VanTassel and Hough tailing) by Chairman J. K. Campbell, and the ballots wore distributed. Then I challenged tho votes of C. K. Powell and Omor Houghtolllng but no attention was paid to my chal lenge Until I again demanded that the challenges bo acted on and then tho word "challenge" was written after each of tho names of tho challenged voters and their ballots marked challenged, yet tho chairman never swore them, nor questioned them, but permitted them to vote and both these voted for high Bchool and wlion those present had voted at 3 o'clock the votes wero counted and showed S for and S against high school. I have a letter from tho Stnto School Superintendent saying a voter must' have children of school ago (on rolls I guess) or be on tax roll (not on assessment roll) to bo en titled to vote. Neither of these chal lenged mon were on tax roll (but on assessment rolls of this year) as both aro nioro homesteaders hero, and Powell has no family, -Hough- tailing has a wife and ono child and ho claims tho child was 4 years old on August 2, 1912, but not on school roll. I wroto Supt. Ford yesterday asking that theso two votes he counted out or that tho vote of tho district bo annulled. Can't say what ho and tho hoard will do. However, It seems to me as the vote was taken as a whole on all tho districts that It should nnnull tho whole thing In all tho districts. I loarn that In Madras a Mr. Dorllng was permitted to vote for the high school although ho has no children nor taxable prop erty. I also learn that after the election hero was closed that tho non-tax-paylng clerk, Goo. Irwin, made hla report with ballots, etc., to II. W. Turner of Madras Instead of to the County School Superintendent. Tho error was found and W. It. Cook, a Madras hcaior, came down hero this morning (Sunday, as It Is) and after election Is supposed to bo over, and hunted up J. K. Campbell and Geo. Irwin (chairman and clerk) and told me ho was going to havo them amend or change their actions, etc., and sign up a proper roport and I guess ho has dono so as ho went and got Campbell and brought him down hore and now has gone to Irwin's, so perhaps a new set of bal lots and poll book will bo mado out and signed and sent In, as all theso I understand originated at Tho Pioneer office. Turner telephoned Alex Smith hero last night that Irwin had sent him tho ballots etc. My God! what kind of a snldo way of doing business with our chlldrens' school funds Is this coming to, although I have seen a lot of It here lately and porhaps In Madras It Is worse. Can't you people got an attorney to go he ro ro District lioundry Hoard and seo that justlco Is dono and also place bo mo of thoho pcoplo behind bars, whore thoy, belong, for If not Madras dives will Increase for our high school chlldrens' pit-fall.

For sale by TEV STORE OF QUALITY S. C. CALDWELL, Mgr, Before You Let the Contract for that new building, consider these facts about brick. In building with all other material no allowance is made for doors, windows and other openings, With brick you can make an allowcnce of 10 to 25 percent, . With lumber 15 to 25 per cent is added for sizing, hips, etc.. With brick it is unnecessary. With all other material 5 to 10 tier cent added for waste, such as cutting, fitting, knots, shakes, etc. With brick f there is absolutely no waste. When a building is finished, built with any other material, there is always a lot of waste to haul away. . : ' With brick, if you have any left we will take them off your hands at the full ' price you paid for them, There is a hundred other reasons why ' J you should build with brick.
