NEQ FORD AGENT HERE
J. Orve Rasmus, the man who de

troduced into this county several
years ago, is now agent for the uni
versal car in Morrow county. Mr.
Rasmus' represents the Walther
Willlams Hardware Company of The
Dalles and beside the Ford, he will

These new cars, in the latest mod
els are now on display In the new

This is said to be the only complete
auto salesroom in the state of Ore
goo, actuated in a town of less than
Ave thousand people. A most com
plete line of Ford parts and supplies
are kept In stock in this new sales
room ana a rora owner can instant
?y replace any part of his car without
sending out of the city
Mr. Rasmus made two sales the
past week. O. M. WhiUington,
wheat farmer who resides south of
this city, has bought a Ford tour-Ins
car and A. Z. Barnard, local dray
man, has purchased a truck of the
same make. The truck will come in
with the first delivery, which will
probably not be for two or three
weeks. Delivery of Mr. Whitting

salesroom marks another progres
sive step in the garage and automo
bile industry in this city.

Co. The company is giving a school
of instruction this week at Spokane,
and those who have become posses
sors of the machines were ? called
there to take a course in operation.
A party was given at the Christian
church on Friday evening last in faon
or of the retiring pastor and his
wife. It had been planned as a sur
prise, but in some way knowledge
of what was going on had "leaked"
and this feature was not carried out
perfectly. A fine time was had, hew
ever, the capacity of the building be
ing taxed to its utmost to care for all
who attended. As a token ot es
teem and by way of rememberance,
Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds were present
ed with a handsome rug, the gift of
members of the church and their
friends. " " ' " ;;" -' h .'
Some party or parties, living , in
mortal fear that they might never be
able to get booze in Oregon, entered
the depot express room on Monday
night and removed therefrom four
packages containing eight quarts pt
liquor. The packages stolen were all
consigned to people in the county and
Agent Feldman succeeded in recov
ering all the empty cartons Which
were picked up in the vicinity ot the
depdt. Entrance to the building was
evidently made through one of the
doors as there was no sign that the
windows had been forced, h There
was much indulgence in intoxicants
during the early part of the evening,
and whiskey was passed around quite
freely, so it is reported, but whether
this was some of the goods stolen
has not been developd as yet. The
hardship thus worked on our country
friends is something awful to eon
template, and it now looks like they
would be deprived of ever looking
a boUJe of California or Utah boose
in the face again. As one man re
marked. "I do not care a puff of me
pipe for this, but O'm afraid I can
never get any more." " "
Chas. Shaver has finished a second
well on the place of H. Stange.ia
few miles west of lone and he will
now move his outfit to the Baker
place, south of Jordan Butte, where
he will shortly begin drilling a well

the place. Mr. Lentzey is arranging
to make a number of good improve
ments on the place, among them be

BOARD
REDUCING
ITS INDEBTEDNESS
For the .benefit of those who do
not understand how and by whom
the Fair Board is appointed the fol
lowing information will eo doubt be
ot interest. Under an act passed by
the Legislature of 1911 the Cmmtv
courta of the various counties of the
state were , authorized to appoint a
Board consisting of not less than s
members as a County Fair Board.
One to serve one year, one to serve
two years and the third for three
years. The Fair. Board is under
bonds to account for all money and
property and are reauired bv law
to make a financial report to the
County Court not later than Novem
ber 1, each year. This report was
duly filed and is a matter of record
for anyone to see at any time they
care to go to the Court house and
ask the County Clerk for it.
All property belongs to the County
and the Board., acts as Trustees or
officers in charge of same for the
county. '". v . .. ..' ' v
Since filing our report for 1916 we
have received the appropriation from
the county of J 1150 and applied it on
the outstanding indebtedness reduc
ing same from $2395 to $1273.50,
which is our total indebtedness at the
present time.
The indebtedness is represented by
the ground and buildings which are
worth better than $5,000.
By an act passed by the Legisla
ture of 191 S all county school super
intendents were made members of
the Fair Board to have charge and
look after the school and education
al work. . : ' ; ..
We desire to thank the people of
Morrow county for the liberal sup
port given the Fair in the past and
hope that the Fair will continue to
merit ever better support in the fu
ture. : '
Respectfully submitted. .

WHILE A BANK, like every other business organization, is conducted for profit,
only few people realize that the larger part of the work involved in giving
adequate service to patrons, is done absolutely without charge in fact at a loss;
only a small portion of the work Involved is directly productive of a revenue, from
which all the expenses of operation, such as rents, salaries, taxes, supplies, etc.,
must be met.

$100 or $1000 with the bank for safe-keeping, is furnished a pass-book, or simply a
receipt, as he may choose, and a lithographed pocket check-book enabling him to
draw out the money at any time, at any place be it right at the bank, or at some
store in Heppner. or Portland, or San Francisco, or New York, or wherever he may
have need of funds. At the bank he can draw it out in gold or silver or currency in
any denomination; he can send all, or part of it, away to pay for a purchase or a
