Masons to Quit v
Because of Flood
Mr. and Mrs. Dorr Mason an
nounced Tuesday that they , are
planning to quit business In lone
because of damage caused to
their grocery and variety store
by the flood last Tuesday.
Goods in damaged containers
will be sold in a sale at half
price, and the rest of the entire
stock Is offered at 20 percent
discount. Groceries, variety
goods, kitchen ware and sun
dries are included.
Mason's was one of the stores
hardest hit by the flood,, par
ticularly because it has one of
the largest floor areas in the
lone business section. The own
ers said that damage was sus
tained not only to stock but also
to motors, other equipment and
fixtures. He estimated that it
would cost $2500 to make re
pairs. Instead, he and his wife
decided to quit business. They
came from Burns and have been
in lone since March 17.

classes of 6th graders and one
split class of 5th and 6th grade

The new building has been
progressing well with some fur

Van Houte said.
A road has been completed
from the west end of the prop

Director Ed Dick said he felt
that it was good educational
