Mrs. Shaw's house caught fire Tues day morning from a defective flue, and but for the prompt application of water, Condon would have suffered another conflagration. Masonic Lecturer Samuel C.

Knoll on Rock creek the first of the week. Mrs. Lucas became very sick Sunday, and Dr. Mcklin was hastily summoned. She will probably remain on the creek a few days or a week. Tom Johnson bought two more lots in North Condon this week. Tom has been brunhing around lately in a very suspi cious manner. Our readers may expect him to furnish a first-class Item for this official weekly in a very short time. The Condon people feel proud over the honor bestowed upon them by the nomi nation of our fellow townsman, Geo. W. Rinehart, for joint senator of Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties. Mr. Rlnebart is composed of the proper ma terial for a good statesman, and will make a very strong run. A few of the boys became a little wild , ,.j and woolly Sunday night at Condon. ; ' On Monday morning Henry Hawk had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Ben Pettijohn, the complaint lieing for "as sault with a deadly weapon" a -chair.

Tto s4si-" " nl.lv In rri Hh(L " i Herbert Halstead received official no tice this week from the Postmaster-General that Matney postofllce will be dis continued after April 30th next Satur day. All mall heretofore sent to that office will now be delivered at Condon, The financial statements of the county ofllcers this week occupy a good deal of our usual news space, but these state ments will prove very interesting news to the taxpayers. Read them carefully, also all the other advertisements this week. We acknowledge a pleasant call Satur day from our respected friend, Mr. Caleb Perin of Pine creek, and his daughter and niece, Mrs. E. A. fttinchfiold and her daughter, Miss Mary Rlppcy, of Mayville. They were all over to the county seat on business. Mr. Perin says there will be doodles of fruit of all kinds on Pine creek this season. Commenting on Mr. Rinehart's nomi nation for joint senator, the Eugene Guard, the leading paper of Lane coun ty, says: "George W. Rinehart, an old citizen of Lane county, formerly a resi dent of Creswell precinct, has been nom inated for joint senator of Gilliam, Sher man and Wasco counties by the demo crats. He Is a firstclass man, and his old neighbors In Lane county, irrespect ive of politics, wish to see him elected. He is an honest, upright man." This week John Meek bought 80 more acres of railroad land, adjoining his mother's place on the west the nw M sec 33 tp S s of r 20 e. Mrs. Meek and sons now own over 1000 acres of as good land as there is In Ferry Canyon, all be ing well watered and tillable. There are yet thousands of acres of excellent gov ernment land in that vicinity, and as it is among the best land in the country, It will not be long until all of it is gob bled up. Several wells in town are being "erect ed" this week. Several feet of excellent water has been reached within ten feet of the surface on Tom Johnson's lots a few rods from the county buildings. Work was begun Tuesday on J. H. Mil ler's well on his property in the south end of town. Should water be secured there, it will be a valuable addition to that part of the town. The silly gush about "no water at Condon" has been most effectually knocked In the head for a long time. Abundance of water can be found anywhere in the entire town by digging for it, within a few feet of the surface. Sullicient water the best in the country, can be secured in Condon, from wells, to suply a city of 6000 people just the number we expect to have here within five years. As we stated last week, we can not give the news unless we hear it. No matter what happens . that you think would make an item, tell us about it. If you buy a lot anywhere in town, let us know it. If you have bought it "on the square" that is, had It recorded by the clerk, we shall always be glad to mention it as a matter of news even if it is more of an advertisement than any thing else. Do not think we are hereto run the pajer for fun and accommoda tion. We can't buy paper with that kind of pay. If you have real estate or anything else to sell, advertise and pay for it. We are not under obligations to boom up any certain portion of real es tate, simply because the owner is anx ious to boom his part of the town. We are not in that line of business. A. Henshaw is levelling off the ground this week preparatory to commencing work on his new furniture store. J. 11. Miller is making preparations to build an addition onto the south side of bis store building, his rapidly growing trade making it necessary to enlarge his store. Geo. Knox will begin the erection of a large livery stable next week on his two lots w hich he just purchased north of where the Glasgow barn stood, and a number of other new buildings will lie built here this spring. Altogether there is more push and vim at Condon than at any town in the state for its size. The way real estate is changing hands, and the deafening roar of the hammer and saw, indicates that Condon is destined to Ite the largest and best town in East ern Oregon within five years. It is the kind of a town people are .not afraid to invest their money in. Now is the time to Invest your money and go into busi ness here w hile projierty is cheap. Nearly every time this powerful and popular Weekly is issued, a half-dozen people or more (who know exactly how a paper ought to be run) call the editor's attention to something published that "don't just suit them," etc., that such and such item should not have been published; that such and such candi date ought to be literally roasted by the paper; and In fact they don't know themselves what they are scouring about but they want to scour anyway. There isn't a paper in the world that can please jvorybody, and we have no desire to be an exception froiii all the rest. How ever, we are proud of the fact that the people are anxious each week to see what the Globe has to say. A paper that hasn't enough life about it it to keep up such tin interest, isn't the kind the public care to read. Yet all our readers who have any judgment at all, admit. that the Ui.obk is doing more good right along for Condon, in the way of attract ing people and capital here.aud increas ing the value of all the town property, titan all the other factors combined. What more ought any renwonnble man expectof the paper? Some people would i.i-l.t : iU.-. . .Ju.. i FINANCIAL Of Gilliam County for the Six Months Ending March 31, 1892.
