r THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1917. Pa?e Throe An We feel that we owe an explanation to the thousands of Paige enthusiasts and prospective Paige owners whose choice is The Most Beautiful Car in America, but who have been urv able to secure prompt deliveries. The Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company has not failed to keep up with its production schedule. As a matter of fact we have already far exceeded the schedule we planned for our' calves last December. i The explanation' is plain and unescap able. This unprecedented demand for The Most Beautiful Car in America is inspired by Paige mechanical ex' cellence. The greatest motoring value is the sum and substance of this explanation. With its mechanical excellence, its beauty, its durability, the Paige is easily sold and most important of all it stays sold. This shortage in Paige cars is not merely a local condition. It is national. If . you question this statement go to your nearest Paige dealer and he will confirm it. But there are other reasons for Paige popularity. -They go back of mc chanical excellence, beauty and ex' cess values. They are fundamental because they make such things pos' sible. We refer to the sound eco nomic and financial policies that are the foundation of the Paige structure. In percentage of sales increase, The Most Beautiful Car in America has outstripped all competitors between $iooo and $2000 in price for the last six months.

NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Department of the Interior, U. S. Land Office at The Dalles, Oregon, July 7th, 1917. NOTICE is hereby given that Lloyd R.

C. Patter son, U. S. Commissioner, at Heppner, Since January ist we have been work ing our huge manufacturing equip ment to full capacity. But in spite of these efforts we have never been for one day caught up with the dc mand for The Most Beautiful Car in America. It is a significant fact that in the month of July just closed a period unset' tied by war conditions the Paige Detroit Motor Car Company was able to : i only 5 8 per cent of the actual orders placed during that month. Paige sales in proportion to Paige cap italization are many times greater than those of any car in the same competitive field. The Paige has built conservatively, soundly. It has no bonded indebt' edness. It has been content with a a" modest profit per car. The Paige has had the money to create quality in each and every car it has , built. The etcess value that has been put into The Most Beautiful Car in America has won the confi' , dence and preference of the Ameri' .. can public. This greater value has brought to the Paige a supremacy that has stood mv challenged during the last few months of unsettled economic conditions. Such overwhelming popularity has made it necessary for us to apologize to you for any delay you may suffer or may have suffered in the delivery . of your car. But is it not Worth while waiting for a motor car that is at once the most popular, as well as The Most Beau' tiful Gar in America? following prices for any definite length $1595 f. 0. b.

I HAY SITUATION IS NOT ALARMING Plenty of Hay for Normal Conditions in .Spite of IncrTONed Num. ber of Stork. "There will be no hay" has been the the talk for so long and been so gen erally Indulged in the belief that the cattle buyers have taken advantage of the situation and been making some pretty good buys. They are not slow to scare growers over the situation. The situation is rather a singular one. In the first place the price of stock is so high that cheap hay is out of the question. It makes little difference to a sheepman what he has to pay for hay. He can well afford to pay $25 for hay as long as he feeds it to 75 cent wool and an $18 or $20 ewes. And so the sheepman will pay most any pricce that is asked for hay. He can afford it. And so when this class of stockmen offered $15 or more for hay the grower immediately bases the market on it. There Is no surplus hay and the hay on the dry land ranches Is a fail ure. But that does not signify much for the dry land farms produce very little hay. The hay along the river bottom and on the Irrigated lands is an the whole better this year than it has been for several years. There are a number of ranches along the John Day that will cut more hay this year than they have cut for a long time. The crop has come out wonderfully the last three weeks ai;d it is a com mon expression now to hear many of the ranchers say, "that they are sur prised," and that "they will cut more hay than they have cut for a number of years." It is again true that there is more stock in the country this year. The reserve is crowded to the limit and an Increase of about 7000 head have ' been added. But thfs should not in timidate anyone for there will be plenty of hay in Grant county this year for ordinary winters. If a hard winter like last year was to follow it might be disasterous. With the usual winter that is experienced here there will be plenty of feed. Prices have been run up to $15 but the conditions do not warrant it, except that, of course, the sheeman can afford to pay and he can even afford to pay more. Hay at ten dollars, fed to 12 1 cent wool and $4 sheep is really higher than $20 hay fed to 75 cent wool and $20 sheep. A successful stockman, however, will always provide hay sufficient for Weather conditions. This does not mean for him to make sacrifiice of his stock, but he ought to be protected against a hard winter for it might come. The situation in the county is far from alarming and no stockman , should get scared and sacrifice his stock. Much of this hay shortage talk has come from the stock buyers who have been trying to take advant age of the situation. There will be thousands of beef cattle ready for market this fall and they should be sold just as they ordi narily are and stockmen should re ceive the full market price for them. Canyon City Blue Mountain Eagle.. lone Real Estate Moves. Not only was real estate moving" last Saturday in the high wind, but it seemed! to be a busy day in the city property market of lone. Ralph Akers sold his residence on Second Street to his brother, Garret, who will move his family from the ranch soon and take up nis residence in the city. His son, Lowell, will take charge of the ranch, while "fath er" takes a well earned rest. Right in line with the above deal, Ralph Akers in turn purchased the residence property of Jacob Bortzer on Main Street, which he will occupy as soon as the present occupants va cate. The population of lone seems to be Increasing out of proportion to available places of residence, and un less some philanthropist will take it upon himself to put up some houses for rent it will be a serious problem for some people to find a place to live. The sales this week are going to make it necessary for at least two families to look for new homes, and with the present scarcity of houses it will be a problem, and with the opening of school there promises to be a still greater demand for houses. lone Independent. (lean Vp Wool Shipments. Shipment of a carload of wool from Heppner Wednesday cleans up all of the spring wool purchased this year by Thomas Ross. Most of the growers in this neighborhood have sold their clips. About two million pounds ot wool is still unsold in the 'interior north west country, according to Mr. Rosa. Warehouses at Portland and other large shipping centers are holding close to ten million pounds. This is principally wool from Oregon, Wash ington oiul Idaho. At present tlu wool market is very quiet, there be ing no buyers who will make a bid. Echo News. Card of Thanks.
