In addition to supplying local trade, Mr. AmlerBon, who makes fre quent trips into euxtern Oregon buying cattle, h8 offers of business from large dealers there. The Consolidated plant turns out an excellent product, and all who have tried their hams, bacon and lard here speak of the product in the highest praise. In the packing plant the valley has an indutsry that should be supported. The ,Hood Kiver valley does not yet raise enough hogs for its own use. It is probable that a larger portion of the bacon and pork needed here will be grown by valley ranchers and orchard ists, however. If the packing industry by the support of all local people can be made to care for the raw material and turn it into the finished viands reiuly for table use, the valley as a whole ia just that much wealthier. It creates a payroll, in addition to keeping money at home. Milk fattened apring chickens are juicy and delicious. Try one for your I'lirlHtniaN dinner. lresned and" de livered.

ELECTRIC THEATRE Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 21 and 22 the third episode of "The Master Key' will be given at the Electric Theatre. Hnnnrfpif hv Wilkarsnn Hallon ! made to realize that his former partner is a real being and not an apparition. It is this knowledge which breaks the spirit of Gallon and prepares him for death. Wilkerson com pel la Gallon to employ him as superintendent of the mine, u is me last straw; uailon sinks fast, and as his life is about to flicker nut hia Hnnohtai .Inhn fin and the oldcook are gathered in the ueam room, supported in Kutn B arms Gallon writes his last will. It reads: "I leave all my property to my daughter Ruth, to come into her full fosseBsion on her eighteenth birthday, direct her never to let go of 'The Master Key.' which will make mv littlo girl happy. I direct that my daughter Keep narry wiinerson as superinten dent until she is 18. I appoint as ex ecutor of this, my last will and testa ment, John Dore. Thomas Gallon." When Gallon dies Dore finds in the desk a sealed envelope, addressed to him, which reads, "To be opened on Ruth's eighteenth birthday-sooner if her welfare is threatened." It is hard for Dore and Ruth to appre ciate all that has and is happening; much of it is a mystery to them. Vaguely they realize that Gallon had a dread of Wilperson, that he had evi dently wronged him, and that Wilper son, in his turn, has a mission of ven geance. At the "Master Key" mine matters come to a critical point when Wilker son, -now in full charge, posts a notice to the effect that "After this day all wages in this mine will be reduced 25 percent." The man is after money as much of it as he can get. He also sees that Dore is a stumbling block to his schemes. Of an afternoon Dore in terferes when Wilperson knocks a min er down. It is the excuse for Wilker son firing him as the mine engineer. Following this move, the miners de cide to strike. Wilkerson's domineer ing manner has earned the dislike of everyone of them. There is a fight in the office between Wilkprann unr! an old miner. The former draws a eun. and is only prevented from shooting the miner by the timely appearance of Dore. But the incident is mifKciont cuse for the rough miners to seek Wii nerson a ii ie. iney secure a rope and prepare to lynch him. Because of Ruth, because he cannot see murder done even in the heat of passion, Dore goes to the defense of the cornered rat. Standing on a box, he tells he miners in a few hri..f mm-Ha the exact situation so far as be is con cerned. Degs ttiem not to riBk Ruth's property. For a time the men listen, and then they seem to get out of hani Ruth climbs onto the hn hoaiH h. sweetheart and joins her own appeal with his. And this proves successful, so far as the life of Wilk cerned. But the strike it must ho nn4t Wilkerson realized this if he hoped to continue the mine operations and se cure money ; his life would be threat ened at any moment so long as the strike lasted. It is a bitter draught to wallow, but Wilkerson announces to the men that the former scale of wages will be again put in force, and that John Dore will be appointed superin- .ciiucu ui tiic mine, n c is ready co bide his time for vengeance.
