the year.
Loss in the fire would nave
been heavier had the board not
removed a considerable amount
of equipment from the destroyed
buildings Saturday. All sprinKi
lng equipment and hose had been
taken from storage less than 24
hours before the fire was dis
covered. It was to be used on the
rodeo grounds.
Lack of adequate funds for re
building brought several immed
iate contributions to the fair
board. The county court voted
$1,000 in view of the fact that
it will get use of the buildings for
a majority of the year. W. G.
Hynds, Gretchen and Garnett
Barratt and E. M. Baker, lone
made cash donations and John
and Jerry Brosnan contributed
sufficient lumber for the upright
framing for both buildings. The
board expressed their appreci
ation for the gifts and stated that
such helD would assure com
pletion of the new structures. '

As pointed out by Governor
Douglas McKay in an official pro
clamation dated January 3, 1951,
"the caravan vividly portrays the
vision and pioneering spirit of
Oregon's early settlers. Its many
objects of Incalculable value
should be regarded as the ingre
dients that have gone into the
making of a great state."
The priceless historical items,
ranging from the letter in which
Abraham Lincoln declined the

t The cost of telephone service today has actually dropped in terms of
the number of telephones a customer can call without toll charges.
For, since 1940, telephones have doubled in most places.
COST PER
TELEPHONE
YOU CAN CALL
1 T!TSTW
In spite of these inflationary times, your telephone brings you more real value for your money today than ever.
HERE'S AN EXCEPTIONAL BARGAIN
Your telephone dollar buys more telephone service than in 1940
v? A f ? v
1 ; F 1
1. The way prices on most items you buy have shot
up, in these inflationary times, you might expect that
your telephone rates would have gone along, too.
For, just as the things you need to run your home have
climbed, so have our costs of providing telephone
service wages, taxes, material costs. But actually, the
increases in telephone rates do not even cover our
increased wage costs alone.
3. You have more telephone service -and better
telephone service today than ever. And the value
you're getting for your telephone dollar is due, basic
ally, to just one tiling. Over the years your telephone
system has had the financial strength to attract the in
vestors' money needed to build the equipment and
develop telephone service to a mighty efficient level.
And with financially strong system, the telephone
can continue to grow in value and useruiness to you
and to all the nation.

2. Yo t buy telephone sen-ice for just one thing
to hat a quick and handy way to keep in touch with
other oeople. Today you can call about twice as many
telephones as you could in 19-iO. And when you com
pare j Jst that one tremendous increase in value with
the small increase in telephone rates, you can see that
what you pay for service has actually dropped consid
erablyin terms of what the telephone an do foryou.
Your telephone is one of
today's best bargains
