The Otouic has several thousand blanks mortgages and warranty deeds, chattel mortgage, etc., for sale cheap. The ball Monday -night was a grand Htim-Hs in every way. Over 00 numbers were sold, und all had a gay time. SheWith what were you particularly struck when you first went on the stage? He Four 'eggs and a cabbage. Life. Dr. Keeley was once a tramp painter. The majority of his patients have done something in the "red paint" way also. Banker Jos. A. Thomas and Stanley Coffin of .Arlington each made a flying business trip to Gilliam's capital the first of the week. A school teacher In Washington coun ty is named Miss Hell. Occasionally she makes it pretty warm for the wicked lit tle Iwys and girls. A Boston p per prints an essay en ti tled, "What Shall We Kat for Pinner?" That question has bothered millions of tutor devils forages. Remember that Matney iwstoffiee is now defunct, and that all mail hereto fore addressed to that office must here after be sent tx Cowlou.

N. Frazer is offered an excellent position in The Dalles land office, but is undecided whether he will accept it or not. He Is iwrfectly satistiod with Con don's brilliant outlook, and is not anx ious to make any change. School Supt.

The promiscuous granting of teachers' wrtifloates to persons not properly qual ified, receives a solid shoulder blow from the editor of the , Forost Grove Times, who says be has in his possession man uscripts written by prominent teachers in Washington county, containing bo many errors that he wonder seems to ,rie that the writers are able to teach children anything., After a more careful Investigation, Charley Burton has discovered that the little "boy" whom we mentioned in last issue as coming to their house recently, is a girl, and requests us to make this correction, which we cheerfully do. II. N. Fraxer arrived homo Sunday from Arlington wjth his wife and little boy, who had boon visiting their rela tives at Pendleton. They will occupy the small Maddock building on upper Main street a short time until Mr, Fra zcr builds a dwelling. W. R. Wakefield, a gentleman of con siderable means, arrived here this week direct from England, and expects to lo cate somewhere in this section and en gage in the stock raising business on a large scale. He formerly lived in Kan sas, a neighbor to W. 8. Myers, whom he is visiting now. Miss Beeson, an accomplished young lady of Vancouver, is visiting at the pleasant home of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. B. Sears, near Mayviilu, Charley's uncle, H. A. Bears, a promi nont businessman of Seattle, is also vis iting at the same place. They were all over to the ball Monday night. H. L. Stewart, representing Canning, Wallace & Co., manufacturing pharma cists of Portland, wos in Condon last week. Mr. Stewart made arrangements with our local druggist, L. W. barling, to carry their excellent remedies, and their ad will appear on the first page of this religions paper next week. Charley Perrin of Pine creek has con cluded to learn the liaruessmaking busi ness, and with that determination in view, ,l)e has secured a position with 12. E. Smith at Condon. Charley is an in dustrious, steady young man, and will learn very fast. He says be has "wras tled" broncos ond cows long enough. Tuesday morning just as the rig was driven up to the hotel to convey MisH Annie Schott and T.G.

With one or two exceptions every business house in Condon has been enlarged during the past year, which is a healthy sign that the trado ond business of the town ib In creasing right along Besides this, near ly a score of new business houses have been built, and a like number are under contemplation for this summer. Hal stead, Rinehart & Co. had another addi tion built onto the rear end of their store this week. Wm. Hughes of Heppner, the demo cratic nominee for member of the State Board of Equalization for the 7th judi cial district, visited his many friends in this section this week. Mr. Hughes for merly was largely Interested in the sheep business In this section, and is well and favorably known throughout the county. He is one of the most intelligent and honorable men in the country, and is thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of tho Important office to which he should bo elected the fith "of next month. Greater importance Is attached to this position than the average voter thinks, and by electing Mr. Hughes to the office, the people of tho 7th district will make no mistake. All of ns know how important it is to have taxvs moro equalized, and he is just the man to ra lieseut us iu that direction. A word In time saves nine. ''There is going to be trouble and delay in the Aus tralian voting. Every worker at the polls ought to have copies of the tickets and the names numbered so that when a man, who don't know better, is going to vote, he can use the copy as a memo randa and make his mark opposite the number according to copy otherwise there will be many a ticket lost for mark ing the wrong name. , . One of the live metropolitan paiers gives its version of the country editor as follows: "There is no member of civili zation who sweats and serves more for his pittance than the country editor. There is no individual in the rural town who jMirforms more unpaid labor for his community and for mankind. It is sup posed to 1 the duty of a country paper to boom the town, the 'county, the state and the interests of every public man, as a matter of course, and nearly all ru ral editors perform the work faithfully, unceasingly and for the most part with out remuneration or even thanks." A private letter this week" from Billy Colwell of Portland, concludes by saying that he and his wife are well and doing well, which their many friends in this section are very glad to learn. Bil ly does not come right out and say frankly that he is dissatisfied down there, but he qui etly admits that a jHirson to thoroughly appreciate our fine and healthful climate ought to leave it in search of tetter. It would be a vain search, he thinks, lie also says that a jerson can make more money in this section with small capital than at any place he knows of in United States. And he is right. Mr. Colwell says he will visit Gilliam the latter part of this month. County court is in session this week with Judge Mariner and Commissioners Woodland and Edwards in attendant. This will probably tie Mr. Woodland's last work as commissioner, as the next session will be held in July, when a new loan will take his place. Mr. Woodland has filled this important office for six years, and it certainly is a source of much satisfaction to him to know that bv biB efiicient administration he hasl won the entire respect and' confidence of the people of Gilliam county. He has filled the office with credit to the people and himself. All the members of the county court deserve much credit for the careful and economical manner in which they have managed the coun ty's business. The "resolutions' recent ly published in the other two county pa pers, condemning the court for "extrav agance and asbuming to legislate for the county without lawful authority," etc., came from very bad grace, the motive being too trans'jtarent to merit any cre dence w hatever. It was not the "unan imous" sentiment of the convention, as stated by the papers in question, and the Gi.o'nn (the people's reliable paper) would have corrected the emir sooner, had its origin not lieen so insignificant as to not deserve notice. Crown Rock Reports. The festive eheepshearer is beginning to loom up in this section like the justly celebrated bed-bug. Harrison Huntley, one of our most progressive citizens, has a mare 21 years old, that has had her 17th colt already. Who can latthls? The meadows along Pine creek present a magnificent appearance just now, the luxuriant 'alfalfa already lieing knee high or "limb-high," whichever suits the dear reader's modesty liest. J. E. Fitzgerald has been engaged the last week hauling lumber for tho new dwellings of Win. Lyle and himself, to I built on their homesteads on Lone Pine. The example of these young men might 1 followed with profit by others. Our Behool, under the very efficient manaegment of Miss Lola Whitcomb, is progressing nicely, and all the pupils are advancing rapidly on the road to knowl edge. This little lady seems to have a natural tact for knowing how to teach the young idea how to shoot. The weather over this wav lately has been consideraqly mixed warm one hour and cold . as "bleezes" the next. Our farmers are a little behind with their work on account of spending all their time "jerking" their cents off and putting them on again to suit the very changeable weather. The writer recently travelled over a very large portion of this section of country, and is pleased to note the deci ded and wonderful improvement of the country, in every way, during the last few years. On every side is evidence of thrift and" advancement, beautiful and comfortable homes, peace and plenty where but a few yenrs ago seemed appa rently barren and unfit for the residence of human beings. Truly this is a won derful und glorious country, compared with the effete and blizzard-ridden coun try east of the Rockies. There is yet plenty of room for thousands -more such happy homes here. Come to Gil liam, the paradise of America; settle down, commit matrimony, subscribe for the Gi.oitis, and yon will always bo hap py and prosperous. Tkd. Notice To Teachers. Notice is hereby given that, for the purpose of making an examination of all persons who may offer themselves us candidates for teachers of the schools of this county, loth for county certificates and state 'diplomas, the county school Sunerintendmit thereof will hold a pub lic examination at Condon, commencing j on Wednesday, May ll,JS!2,at 1 o'clock p. in. Dated at Fossil this I'lith day of April, 18W. , L. Pakkkk, ( County School Supt. The Dalles Dots. Hold over from lunt week, The Alumni of the Wasco Independ ent Academy will give a public enter tainment June 15th, which promises to be "an gay event." Miss Lulu Welch transferred her smil ing countenance from our midst last week and joined the army of school ma'ams of Crook county. Mr, Floyd's new residence being com pleted, a large number of their friends iravo them a pleasant surprise Friday evening. Dancing was the main feature. The Dalles enjoys the proud distinc tion of having three of the best and ablest newspapers in the United States for the size of the town 3000 inhabit ants. Our public school will close the lflth of May. A splendid and appropriate program is being prepared, a pleasing feature being a "Fan Drill" by about forty children. Business here at present is a little dull, hot next month w ben wool-hauling from the interior liegins, the city will again assume its r.snal activity, for which it is so widely known. The Good Templars gave a "shadow" social here a few nights ago. A curtain was hung, on which npjieared the shad ow of the ladies. The homeliest sold at about 10c, and the prettiest as high as 2..0. Our delightful little city is being re built rapidly since the great rire of last summer. Many very beautiful dwelling houses are going up all over the city, Mr. Dietzel's, on the hill, one of the fin est in the city, having just been comple ted. America, the grandest and noblest conntYy under the sun, was diwoverad 400 years ago. With this ' great histor ical event in view, The Dalles schools will celebrate it in appropiate style. It wouldn't I a bad idea for every tow n and city in America to follow their ex ample. ,' Five Mile seems to be the principal pleasure resort for our young people who go out there to capture "speckled beau ties." Of course they never catch any fish, but it's an excellent place to fish, even if the boys can'tcateh anything but "dears." Among the large numU-r of young jieople who went fishing Satur day were: Misses Fulton, J. and B. Floyd, Alice and Maggie Keys, Riddle, Cheese; and Messrs. Fulton, Shown, McArthnr, Floyd, Pruett, Cooper and Jackson. Ci'mtix. Arlington Antonatlons. Born, May 2, 1892, to the wife of S. G. Hawson, a son. 8yd ! Syd ! I The gay andfestive sucker, of the fin ny tribe, "takes the dough" just now. Mrs. A. C. Hawson has returned from her visit to Mrs. A. S my the, of Klickitat. Shearing is in full swing, and wool teams are beginning to give Main St. a more ornamented appearance. Bishop Morris and Rev. Potwine of Pendleton passed through Tuesday, which is the origin of this good item. Jno. A. Brown, like the editor of the " Arizona Kicker," will run a hotel and butcher shop in addition to Ids paper, having taken charge of the "Vendome" this week. No doubt his next addition will be a feather factory. A young man adorned with bracelets passed through town the other day. ac companied by a deputy sheriff from Ma' rysville, Cal., where he was wanted on a charge of shooting a brakeman on the S. P. Ry. lie was arrested at Heppner. Hon. A. S. Bennett, democratic nomi nee for supreme judge, came up from The Dalles Monday on business. Mr. Bennett is one of the ablest and most brilliant attorneys on the Pacific coast. He is so much stronger than his party in this state, that his election in June to this honorable position will lie some thing similar to the vote Gov. Pennoyer received two years ago. We don't hear much said about coun ty politics. Probably they are "lying" low until about June 6th, at which criti cal time they will get in their work. "Let the best men w in and the devil take the hindmost." It is a safe Vet that a'nout the candidates will hear something "drap" about election time. Poor devils ! they can't all be elected; and jj of them will learn that the people-do not think so much of them as the candidates do of themselves. Most of the people in this end of the county do not know who the candidates are, on ac count of the tLkets not being published in tho county papers, as usual.' Scu. Germany Gems. The school meeting Saturday resulted in a tie as to whether Henry lleidtman continue as school director or not. McWillis Bros, have begun their con tract of "building" holes and setting posts around a section of land belonging to Gihnan, French & Co. The grip has nabbed about everylnxly on this very productive phlat. We be lieve this celebrated complaint has not pushed itself into popular favor in this section to any very marked degree. It is safe to way tlmt a gtsid big kettle of boiled krout would meet with a warmer welcome by our people AVe had three inches of snow ont here I Saturday morning, which state of we'ath i er doesn't swallow well with our overage ! cabbage inhabitant. However, at the thinking of these gems of thought, we 'bleeve they hove decided to put up with whatever kind of weather conies, which Soud judgment is commenduble.- Fki.-kv, a CO 1 r ' r jj'' ,- ' CO CD C3 j I Vumm GENERAL MErTGHAHDISE, GROCERIES, DRY-:-GOODS, TOBACCOS, H A R D W A R B And Everything Else Usually Kept in a First-class Mercantile Establishment.
