BALLOT TITLES CON
FUSING TO VOTERS
Danger of Mistaking Single Tu For
Kural Credits.
Winter
comi
is
"The Full Rental Value Land Tax
& Homemaker's Loan Fund Amend
ment" la the ballot title for measure
No. 306 & 307. "The Rural Credits
Amendment" is the ballot title (or
amendment No. 318 & 319. There
is danger that these titles may be
confusing. The word "loan" in No.
306 & 307 may lead some voters to
believe that It is "The Rural Credits
Amendment." Voters should be
very careful In distinguishing be
tween these two measures on election
day.
There Is the widest possible dif
ference in the effect which the adop
tion of these two measures would
'have. Amendment No. 306 ft 307
is a single tax measure and has for
its purpose the confiscation of private
ownership in land. Amendment No.
318 & 319 is Just what its name
implies: an amedment giving rural
credits or cheap money to the far
mers. The first amendment No. 306
& 307 would simply ruin the state of
Oregon if it were adopted. The last
amendment No. 318 & 319 will build
up Oregon by giving the farmer sheap
money with which to bring his farm
up to a high state of improvement
and cultivation.
To defeat single tax vote 307 X NO.
To get Rural Credits vote 318 X
YES.

Auto Tracks Shorten Miles on
Iowa County lluada.
Auto trucks give promise of solv
ing the freight transportation prob
lem for interior Wallowa county
points. Two heavy trucks are now
in service between Enterprise and
outlying points, and they have prov
ed a great success while the roads are
hard and at all smooth.
The first truck was put into this
service by the W. H. Bohnenkamp
store at Flora. Since the roads set
tled in the spring the car has been
used steadily and has hauled sever
al hundred tons of freight to the
north end store. It has been in de
mand frequently for passenger trav
el, also, as it makes far better time
than a team drawing a toad.
This fall a greater innovation was
introduced by B. W. Hamilton and
his son O. S. Hamilton. They bought
a new three ton truck for hauling
grain in from the distant farms. It
has been in use night and day much
'of the time since threshing got un
jder way, making trips to points 30
! miles from town, near Zumwalt. The
j truck carries 65 to 70 sacks of
'wheat, weighing up to 8400 pounds,
and is so much faster on the road
than horses that grain is moved far
quicker than ever before.
Frequently the driver would meet
a team loaded with grain a few miles
out from town. The truck would
go to its destination east of Crow
creek and return with its load, ov
ertaking the horse-drawn freight
wagon before reaching town.
B. W. Hamilton ran the car on
the day run until he was taken ill,
and O. S. Hamilton had the night
shift. Now the latter is alone on
the job, but he is seeking a compe
tent driver so that the machine can
be kept on the road continuously.
The success of auto trucks in the
county depends whooly on the roads,
When the highways are brought to
a condition where they will be hare
the year round, the expense - of
hauling will be lessened, and the
time required will be reduced great

The Naming of Batter Creek.
The versions of how Butter creek
came to be named have been publish
ed by the Tribune as follows:
John S. Vinson of Freewater from
whom the townsite of Vinson was
named gives the orgin, as he heard
it from the early settlers. Some
travelers in pioneerdays camped on
lower Butter creek. Among their
edibles was a tub of butter. During
the night the animals roaming about
the camp rolled the tub with its con
tents into the creek. The stream was
afterwards called .Butter creek.
J. P. Earl is positive that Vinson's
version is wrong and he gives the
following account:
Along in 1848 occured the first
Cayuse war, followed by the Whitman
massacre. A volunteer army set
forth to capture the redskins. S. D.
Earl, his father, and an uncle were
in this army. It seems they were aid
ing the wagons of the commissary
which got ahead of the army. Two
wagons camped on the creek over
night. The men had only sugar and
butter to eat until the other wagons
caugh up with them.
They considered a meal of butter
worthy of commemoration and ac
cordingly named the creek Butter
creek. Echo News.

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER
The lightness of the Buick Valve-in lead motor and
not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.
This new four has a Buick Valve-in-Head motor (with
electric starter) which develops thirty-five horse power
on brake test and is so reliable for ruggtd service that no
eulogy is necessary among "men who know Buick."
Its lines are beautiful.. Finish and color are exception
al Deep, tufted black genuine leather upholstery. Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
give a trimness of appearance that is peculiarly Buick.
Body, hood, fenders and running gear are painted a
glossy, long-wr ,ring black; wheels are black with white
stripes. Tires 31x4 inches.
